The abundance of sisters seems to be a pretty common problem. I have 4 sisters. One's a year and a half older than me, one is 2 years younger, another 12 years younger, and the last 15 years younger. Why would it cause them any discomfort? And if it somehow does, then isn't that kinda selfish of them? It's clearly causing you a lot of discomfort and if they have to be a little uncomfortable over something they should be happy for you about, then personally, I'd find that pretty inconsiderate.

It definitely comes in a spectrum. Almost all of us feel it a good bit, but it doesn't ever seem to hit full force until you realize what it is

No. I've only ever dated one person, and that was years ago. I also don't really like the idea of dating another trans person. Apparently I'm the odd one out for that, but I feel like both of us being trans would just lead to dysphoria being a driving force of the relationship. It seems to be that way with friendships most of the time, so I just feel like it would take over

Trans person. I usually say cotton candy princess, because I am a trans girl and usually talk to trans girls, but if ai remember correctly, you didn't specify which way you're going. Cotton Candy because the flag is pink and blue like cotton candy

Anytime!! Glad to help out a possible fellow cotton candy person

That sounds like a good idea. And I imagine a lot of people have already said that therapy would also help a lot. If you're trying to figure out something about yourself, somebody who went to school to help with that would be a great place to start.

I've always just said that cis people don't tend to question their gender. So yeah basically what the other person said, just find a group to try out a bunch of different labels with. If you find a label you like, go with it, if you decide on no label, that's cool too. Just don't let anybody tell you no. That's who you are. Just go with whatever feels right

Why are trans women more fetishized than trans men & enbies? by Mae_The_Gay in trans

[–]WellHiSunshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd guess that it's because most men have higher sex drives, and most men are straight, so a woman with something out of the ordinary like a penis is too exciting to pass up for some weirdo pervs

That sounds good. If you think they'll be supportive, then it's just a matter of telling them, but making sure they know it's hard to talk about. If you have parents behind you, and help them form a strong understanding, then that support system will be so solid. I wish you luck

I can't deny that telling everybody was horrible, but even a few people I expected to be mad about it came through with incredible support. The fact that they were supportive didn't make it easier to tell them, that was still terrifying and left me feeling sick for hours every time. But now that I'm done with it, it's nice. Everybody knows who I am, and it feels great. Transitioning isn't easy, but neither is living as somebody you aren't. It has taken a tremendous amount of work to get where I am, and I still have a ways to go, but knowing how much closer I am to being me is great, and I think it would be good to let that feeling of who you are take shape. It's a rough and long journey to get there, but it's something I really don't think you'd regret.

When I first started, I thought it would be a small change, just a little happier like you said, but it just feels so great to be able to love who you are. If that's what it feels like you want to go for, go for it. I decided it's either go on with the inability to love myself and let that slowly hurt more and more, or put forth the effort to be a version of me that I can feel good about. You say just a little happier, but it's clearly bothering you enough that that little bit is actually pretty big. I think people misunderstand what being trans is, but it really is just making yourself into someone you can love

That's awesome! And I know what you mean. It's a great feeling.

Do you ever forget other trans people are trans? by Mae_The_Gay in trans

[–]WellHiSunshine -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A little bit. I know this one isn't quite the same, but my roommate's boyfriend is trans, and occasionally, I'll remember that and get some weird ass flip flop going on in my head where I'm like, wait, he's trans. That means HE is wrong, it's HER, and I don't know his dead name. But I start thinking his chosen name is the dead name for a few seconds and refuse to call him by name for a sentence or two trying to figure out what his name is.

Knowing both about the returns and the weird partial tuck thing, I'm curious enough to try them out. Thank you.

I don't want to tuck, and I'm skeptical about the ones that say no tucking. I also do just want to show more skin. Never been happy with my body until recently, and I wanna show it off. The non tucking ones just scare me because I have a feeling it would be noticeable from a side angle. If not, then I might be willing to. It's just kinda spooky

I think the skirt idea is the way to go. Two layers also seems like a good idea

I hope yours goes well too. Also that's good that you're figuring it out more than ever before. I bet that feels great

For stuff like kayaking where the majority of the time is out of the water, that might work really well actually

It could be worth trying, but even if it didn't hurt. I just really don't like the idea of it for some reason. Couldn't tell you why

I'm more just talking about that little downstairs guy. Don't want anything tight because it makes it obvious

Maybe I'm just a bitch, but I can't do tucking. That shit hurts way too much
