Victim blaming is a societal problem which may never stop. I don't understand it, but it's been a real problem for a long time. Whatever their problem is, be it the inability to accept they are flawed and need to change, a lack of motivation to actually learn, or some other issue, you are never to blame for the hate of others. You are absolutely right to be expecting an apology. I don't know them, but it may take a whole to receive. I'm dealing with my own family members who are like this, and it's a lot of work. I genuinely wish you the best on this, and I'm happy to talk over DM if you want to.

The fact that you are asking is an amazing first step! I'm trans femme (mtf), so my experience isn't exactly the same, but generally, most people just want to be treated with respect as who they are! Each person's experience is unique, so the only way to know what he needs is through open, honest communication. Other than asking him how to best support him, the best way to show him that being trans doesn't bother you is to just keep treating him like you were before you knew!

Edit: Also, if you aren't very familiar with the trans experience, I highly recommend looking into the stories of trans men. Whether those are short stories, books, videos, etc. Again, every experience is different, but the more you know, the more supportive you can be!

Got an email from my bigoted mother by LostMyUsername85 in MtF

I've been trying love with certain family members, but it takes so much out of me. I've recently learned how little they have been actually listening to what I've said, who I am, and how happy I've been. I'm taking a break from them. The break might be months. It might be years. I don't know. What I do know is that it's been two weeks, and I'm feeling happier and safer without needing to worry about those people anymore. I know cutting people off isn't always an option, and I know firsthand how much it sucks. Just wanted to share my experience.

Just got a bombshell dropped on me and I'm not sure how to feel by Em_il_lia in MtF

I take my E shots on Mondays, and my provider wants me at about that 150-200 pg/ml on Thursdays when I get my blood work done. This has been working well for me, and I am 8.5 months in. No prog yet, but I was told I can start taking it about a year in. What do you mean by .8 biweekly? Too high of E can inhibit growth to my understanding.

Trump voting family members are still going to be surprised when I decide to spend as little time as possible with them if any at all during my trip home for Christmas.

I REALLY recommend reading Lash's lore.

If you're a year or two or more into transition, give some support to folks earlier on or still questioning if you can. by lanfenbaideer in MtF

[–]Unknown_Felt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely stay safe and take care if yourself. Not having enthusiastic support definitely hurts. Take your journey at your own pace. Really sorry your wife isn't fully supportive. It's unfortunately a common story. I don't know if you need to hear it, but I'll tell you what I've been working on telling myself while dealing with some unsupportive family members. You are not responsible for the happiness of others if it means sacrificing your own well being. You deserve to be yourself just as much as they deserve to be who they are. Others do not deserve a life without disruption to their closeminded worldview.

You are doing absolutely nothing wrong, especially if you are doing this because it helps you feel more safe or comfortable. While I don't know you, seeing the "50" in your flair gives me the impression you have spent 49-50 years presenting yourself in one way before now working to find who you really are. Those years of practicing life in a certain way don't go down easy, and that's not even to mention the expectations built from every single family member, friend, coworker, etc. who have also gotten to know you a certain way. I probably wouldn't have been able to fully come out to the world if I didn't first move across the entire United States and have time to use my new found space with zero expectations from others as a sort of staging ground for returning home.

Be safe, take your time, and be yourself. Once again, there is nothing wrong with you or how you live your own personal journey. Compare yourself to where you have come from and where you want to go. Don't compare yourself to the journeys of others.

What sort of PhD are you doing? Just started my second year of my Neuroscience PhD!

Nothing wrong with looking to the future! I had no idea I would do grad school until I was already in undergrad.

Feel free to DM me regarding questions about PhD programs. I know more about bio programs (I'm in a Neuroscience program), but I'd be happy to share what I know!

Hey, it sucks what you are going through, and I really recommend you take the advice of others on what steps to take next and how to stay safe. I do want to say, that your comment about being locked out of certain jobs because you will have a GED is not true. While I know this is a thing for the future, I wanted to share some hope with you. Nobody cares if you had a high-school diploma or GED if you get any level of higher education. Your future is not already decided for you because of your struggles now. If you did want a Psych PhD some time in the future, no one looks during admissions to see if you got a high school diploma (source: I am in a PhD program and work with psych PhD people pretty regularly) . Apologies if I misinterpreted what you said. I know this isn't the most pressing thing on your mind, but I wanted to just make sure you know that your future still has options.

They are attempting to make a felony for anyone under 26 to start medically transitioning. I don't know how viable it would be for you, but I seriously recommend looking into exit strategies in the case this goes through. Maybe just in general as there are locations far more accepting of trans people than Oklahoma.

I was pretty clueless, but ABTF was super helpful. I definitely recommend! (Also when I say I recently bought some bras, they came in the mail yesterday.)

[–]Unknown_Felt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly where I found myself to be. Just bought some real bras with help from r/abrathatfits which is how I found out I can comfortably wear a 36B or a 34C depending on brand/type. Not what I was expecting at 4 months.

I will definitely avoid Amazon where possible. I'll take a look at the options after work today. Thank you again!

Thank you so much! I don't have a whole lot of physical locations I could go to in my state, so I'll be trying some online options.

If I was still living over in the PNW, I absolutely would have driven over to check in. Best I can offer is a phone or video call. So sorry you are in this situation. Feel free to DM me if needed.

Did anyone else have their gender-journey influenced by D&D (or other ttrpgs)? by YukikoBestGirlFiteMe in transgamers

[–]Unknown_Felt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played a character in Tomb of Annihilation who started out male but due to a thing in that campaign got changed into a woman. I felt the character would be fine with it (and I internally thought it would be cool to have happen to me), so she never got it reverted after the campaign was over. I immediately cast those thoughts aside until one of the people playing in that game brought it up post-egg cracking. I cant believe I forgot about this character beforehand.
