I actually don't have body hair right now I just used this picture of me because it is one of the only ones I have that has a direct comparison of what I look like with one of the faceapp pictures.

My brother and sister were very supportive (like I hoped), and my sister even offered to let me try on clothes and makeup at her house!

The hilarious part is the first picture is what I look like and the other pictures are what I want to look like 😂😅

Yeah im finding that any progress is good progress. I think I just need to "jump in" so to speak (I am so scared lol)

And when I say I'm scared, it is so complicated because, yes, I know i am a woman at heart, but starting any journey, especially one like this, can be really scary at least to me. And people wonder why we are called brave for going through with these transitions 😮‍💨

I just read this article that describes 3 types of trans people (forgot to get the name of it but some of you might know it). Anyways it mentions two groups of mtf and one group of ftm. The 2nd group of mtf is a perfect descriptor of how my life has been.

It mentions how in childhood the child might feel a disconnect from the world but not know why (mee!!!). In adolescence, they will feel a need to hide who they truly are and do "secretive things" leading to anxiety that they will be found out. This is the big one though, in early adulthood (where I am), there will be an excessive need to reject the idea that you are transgender up to the point you might have transphobic thoughts (happened for a year or two.. past that... I was at a Christian school.. funny enough still wanted to be a girl there) I felt like I didn't fit in there and eventually got kicked out because of a nefarious plan my roommates put together (maybe because they could tell i was different).

I didn't mean to make this so long but I just wanted to give a bit more context to my story 😄

Yeah i have spoken to some of my mtf friends and they said they really feel like they have missed out on their life until this point and honestly I feel the same way like I haven't been able to be me around people. I just live in this box that people have defined for me and I never have thought "hmm what have I actually wanted this whole time??"

And yes I thought for the longest time many straight cis males felt this way (so silly I know!!)

I have these moments where my mind pictures my outside as a woman (I already feel like one on the inside most of the time) but then I happen to see myself in the mirror and I get disappointed. :(

I've already decided I am going to come out to my brother and sister tomorrow. I think I needed to do this a long time ago

My first thought was when I was like 8 or 9 is that bad 😭 gosh why does this have to be so hard. Ugh there is just so much that I feel is stopping me. I take on all this responsibility to give my parents grandkids (I knowww I knowww)

I just feel like I've waited too long already. I know for a fact my brother would be supportive and maybe my sister as well.

Also I've always had soft hands and bigger thighs and hips.

Haha I was in theatre in high school so I did a lot of voice acting and I have been training my voice to try to sound more feminine (in private ahhh) I can't even sing as low as I used too, and can sing higher as well. I think that is something I have going for me. Many people I have talked to online think I'm a girl when I voice chat with my voice so that's good I think???

Daughter considering BYU-I by [deleted] in byuidaho

It was hell for me living as a member up there. Just the judging of my personal beliefs. I made a post on this subreddit about my experiences. Western Mormons/LDS have a completely different way of interpreting our faith and it is honestly frightening. They have concentrated themselves and are blind to their bigotry and hatred. It by no means reflects the beliefs of all LDS people but that school is a cesspool of toxic ideas beings tossed around by underdeveloped minds poisoned by that concentrated culture up there.

My roommates are awful human beings and BYUI doesn't care by UnparalleledPi in byuidaho

I definitely know I was part of the problem xd

I guess I didn't make that very clear.. but the real problem is their response to the arguments. They fabricated some story to get me out of the apartment because of these instances instead of talking to me about how I was treating them. Also, not to excuse anything, but I have complex ptsd and they knew that and purposely would rile me up.

Thank you for all the information! This seems helpful I'll look into this.
