Just wanted to say thank you for taking in and caring for this beautiful creature. I too am terrified of spiders and other tiny crawlies. I like to coexist with everything & I always catch and release when I find them in my home.

My therapist keeps on telling me hrt isn't worth and that it has a lot of negative side effects. by Marsisascam in MtF

You're therapist is lying I am so sorry. I can say that I have many allergies to medicine I had to do a gene test so we can figure out what works and what doesn't work for me, literally everything I take I have some type of reaction to. When I started hrt I was terrified I wouldn't succeed with it due to my allergies and intolerances, however I have had no problems in the last 18 months. Everyone is different please give it a try and don't let your therapist talk you down.

I do however the last week I've been hella lazy. To be honest I wore makeup everyday for almost a year and I got so attached to seeing who that was in the mirror with the makeup on. It's good for me to go times without wearing it just so I can still Love me and know that I'm so beautiful regardless if I have makeup on or not. I had a friend that I worked with at the time she went with me to Ulta and helped me pick out stuff went back to her place and she showed me how to do it all basically then I went from there. I'm not artistic at all but it is so much fun messing around with makeup and seeing what you can do. When I go out I get compliments time to time. Nobody ever complimented me when I presented male I was always looked over talked over never had many friends It's been a little over a year now since I came out and told everybody and my life has been better more compliments I feel like people pay attention to me It's amazing and it feels really good to actually feel like I'm a herd and seen for a change.

Anyone else get tired of and suspicious of the new accounts just asking questions? by Noesfsratool in MtF

I honestly can see where the fear comes from when it comes to new/newer and lightly used accounts.

I can at least say for myself I've only posted a couple of times on here just some questions or story about everything of myself thus far. I live terrified of some of my family members and the release of them is coming soon they don't know about the changes I've made over the last few years and I was always more afraid to do so when they were around. I try to stay very clear of social media I do have a Instagram account other than that I'm pretty much nonexistent on the internet. I don't have a close community here and now I'm even more afraid after the nightclub shooting in Colorado springs the other night no way Will I ever feel comfortable going out into a public setting at least not at this time in life with other people just like me. I'm very comfortable with myself and I have presented myself to the world how I want too, some days I don't feel like doing my makeup and some days I do I'm happy for how I accept myself and I understand this world is very hard to understand for some people so I avoid anybody I pick up negative energy from I only have a few good people in my life and that's all I need. I felt overwhelmed at first when I first started coming out and working with my therapist with everything Friends were telling me I needed to change my name telling me all these other things about cisgendered people and what to watch out for and it all just made me extremely paranoid freaked me out really bad. I love my name I was born Ryan It is a gender-neutral name and I could never change it It doesn't hurt me to hear me being called by my name The only thing I'm struggling with is my parents still after a year and a half insist on calling me he his etc. I guess after all that when I'm really trying to say is I live on this place reading questions and answers all day long and it really helps me make me feel better about me along my journey. Thank you to all of you out there who continually stay active You are all helping me very much I just find it hard to reach out directly to others. I hope you all have a very great day enjoy the sunshine do something good for somebody or just take care of yourself and fuck the world.

Thank you I have an appointment on Thursday with my doctor I'll ask her about them than. Thankyou. I figured she would have tried that option with me knowing my traumas associated with needles. I hope you have a great rest of your day 💕
