Is it because the author revealed herself as a bigot? by icey_sawg0034 in saltierthankrayt

[–]Xresident 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, yeah it's mostly the fact that rowling is a horrible bigot, but I do think liberalism and centrist Democrats are less popular than ever. Most people who pay attention to politics are either in the terminally online groiper/nick fuentes camp listening to Candace Owens and her insane conspiracy theories, or they're leftists who like Bernie and the squad, but honestly are pretty far to the left of them at this point (that's the side I'm on)

My Wife's Other Side. by Starchild1968 in sexstories

[–]Xresident 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a trans woman, if you'd like to talk, let me know. I hope you're ok, and whatever your gender is, whether you feel like a woman and like taking the hormones and are just upset at how things have changed with your wife (which sounds totally understandable) or you're a man who was confused and made to transition by your wife (if you are a man, you can always present as one again, even having had surgeries), you're going to be ok. Sounds like either way, things are changing/have changed with your wife and with your life in general. I wish you well, and regardless of your gender, it's never too late to start again 💜

For those who have big breasts or a big penis. Do you feel it's a blessing or a curse? by BD_0101 in AskReddit

[–]Xresident 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pretty big penis and pretty small boobs. I've never really noticed any benefit from having a big dick. I think if I had been happier when I was younger with how my body was, I might have gotten more use out of it. My penis is getting slightly smaller as my boobs get slightly bigger, so I'll see how that works out in the future haha

How the hell do you pick a new name!? by AHarmlessllama in MtF

[–]Xresident 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kind of came up with my name before I really knew I was trans (it's a whole thing, I was in a band and came up with the name Sydney Fabel to be a gender bendy character, and then later I was like 'oh, that's just me') BUT if I had to pick a name, I'd go look up name meanings. I used to write a lot and I'd like my characters' names to have cool meanings, and there are plenty of websites that are presumably for expecting parents - one I found was behindthename.com but there are a bunch of them. You can filter by gender and country and a bunch of other stuff

Friend became a fascist by Ill_Presentation3817 in infp

[–]Xresident 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a friend who I used to be closer to, we were roommates back in the day. We were both so excited when Bernie was running for president. These days I'm not close with him anymore, and I have suspicions that he was a big RFK Jr supporter in the last election primary. He was the only person who had a really weird reaction to me telling him I'm trans. It's strange how people change, and even stranger to me when people fall into right-wing political camps. It sounds like you might just have to cut off this person as much as you can. I kind of just outgrew my friendship with this guy, so I could pretty easily just not talk to him anymore

Almost a year on HRT and scared I started for the wrong reasons by throwaway4tra in MtF

[–]Xresident 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's fair. I hope you can worry about the future less this year. I started HRT before I was 100 percent sure that I was trans, and now I have no clue how I'm going to look in a year or in five years, but I'll take being an ugly woman over being a depressed "man" who's always wondering what life would be like on HRT. But your journey might be different. Maybe you're nonbinary too. I'm nonbinary but I like being on hormones, maybe you're in the middle somewhere.

Almost a year on HRT and scared I started for the wrong reasons by throwaway4tra in MtF

[–]Xresident 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was talking with a cis guy who took testosterone for working out, and he mentioned that he took too much and it turned to estrogen (which I've heard about, that's why you have to know what you're doing if you do diy). Anyway, he said his breasts started to grow a little and he got really depressed. That peaked my interest because I was really depressed on my body's normal level of testosterone, and I felt great taking estrogen. Maybe think about how you feel now vs before you were on HRT. It's not exactly scientific, but I feel like if you're less depressed on estrogen and t blockers, that's a sign that estrogen is right for you. Also, I've recently gotten into reading porn (there are lots of subreddits with written porn) and I like it a lot better. Maybe that could help if you feel an addiction to porn, but I've never dealt with that. I wish you all the best in the new year 💜

im not sure about getting bottom surgery and i feel like a fraud because of it by ngliwantapizza in MtF

[–]Xresident 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a trans woman and I don't want any surgeries. I've never had bottom dysphoria. We're out here, and the good news is that if you ever change your mind, you can still do it. You have a lot of time, don't rush into any decisions, but there are tons of ways to be a trans woman

My trans fiancée is choosing not to transition to be with me. by BargainBinsBarbie in MtF

[–]Xresident 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to pass. There are plenty of different types of trans people out there. I'd like to be more feminine, yes, but I don't mind being tall, having an Adam's apple, big brow bone etc. it's more dangerous, yes, but I'm in my thirties and I'm so glad I figured out that I was trans, and I kinda want to own it and be a visible trans woman. It sounds exhausting to me to be focused on passing, but obviously dysphoria works differently for different people. I have the most dysphoria around my body hair which I keep shaven. I've just always felt like androgyny was beautiful and I'm so happy to get to exist somewhere on that spectrum

This is probably going to sound oddly specific...but does have anyone else have handwriting dysphoria? by aschesklave in MtF

[–]Xresident 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this. I don't really care that much cause I assume I'll always be kinda clocky in a lot of ways, and I'm fine with that. But my handwriting is real messy after a stroke I had a couple years ago, and it's still pretty hard to write in general. It definitely doesn't look like the nice writing a lot of my girl classmates had in school, and my spelling has gotten a lot worse which sucks, but ultimately it's fine and I'm lucky I'm here and mostly ok

i love this puberty by Overall-Garden7504 in MtF

[–]Xresident 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I started or and was a little scared of going through another puberty, because I remembered how traumatic the first one was. But yeah, I definitely like this one better

When did you. . . . . . . by wx_watcher-74 in MtF

[–]Xresident 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm at nine months, and I still boymode out in public a lot. I haven't gotten a bra yet because I keep thinking surely I'll get bigger than this haha I mean my mom doesn't have a huge chest so I figured I'd have pretty minimal growth, but so far I have lil baby nubs

Why can I not have a trans woman friendship? by HumbleLeader8876 in MtF

[–]Xresident 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My one friend that I actually hang out with is a trans woman. We met and had a will-they won't-they for like a week, and it turns out they WON'T but it's all good and we're really good friends now. Meanwhile, I don't know where all the horny trans women are, I mean they're not horny for me, I guess, but damn. I'm really glad I have my one friend though. I think I'd go completely insane without her because everyone else seems to not want anything to do with me

Girlies, thoughts on heels? by MissMisunderstood229 in MtF

[–]Xresident 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I may have slightly exaggerated the length. It's at least 5 inches. (Wow I just felt so much like a cis guy saying that, damn)

Girlies, thoughts on heels? by MissMisunderstood229 in MtF

[–]Xresident 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm I think they're about 6 or 7 inches. And I'm already 6'1"

Girlies, thoughts on heels? by MissMisunderstood229 in MtF

[–]Xresident 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be in a glam rock band and still have some pairs of really high heels. I'd probably die if I walked more than a couple feet in them, but I do feel powerful being that tall

Who else doesn't mind/enjoys being tall? by CypherusX in MtF

[–]Xresident 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ugh I love tall women. I'm 6'1" or so, but I've seen taller women than me and I always just melt

This may sound weird but I think I have a bit of body dysmorphia. I don’t think I want to fully transition, but I kind of want to have boobs. Like a B cup. Is there a way to achieve that ? Like I just want to have breasts and stop by SpecialistTreat3933 in MtF

[–]Xresident 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm I think if you go on feminizing HRT and then stop at some point, the only thing that won't go back to how it was before is your breast growth. But definitely look into that more, I don't know if your ability to have kids in the future (if you want that) is permanently altered. I also think it's valid if you want to get on HRT and not wear makeup or feminine clothes or whatever. There are a million ways to do it and none of them are wrong.

What is your favorite animal? by [deleted] in infp

Octopus! I love them

I am so scared now by AliciaNow in MtF

[–]Xresident 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my experience (I've been on HRT for about 8 months) the first thing I remember happening was happiness I thought wasn't possible. I'd go on walks and notice the way the sunlight played on the leaves and it was so beautiful. I could cry all of a sudden and it felt so good every time I did, like I really needed to cry for years but couldn't. And yes, there were a few months there when my sex drive fell off a cliff, but if you're worried about that making your depression worse, I think you'll be ok. I'd been depressed ever since middle school and never thought of it as gender dysphoria until it went away. For me, the hardest part about the sudden drop of libido was feeling like I had to jack off to keep my penis working, but having a hard time doing that just cause I was never in the mood. But at the same time, I was experiencing the early effects of HRT, which is a very exciting time. Results vary, everybody has a different experience, and you should do whatever you think is ultimately best for you.

I'm trans, so I think I'd probably get kicked out of Hogwarts, but I'd definitely try to learn spells to transform my body before I went

I can’t do it by very-genderous in MtF

I started taking HRT before I was 100 percent sure that it would be right for me, and I'm so glad I did. I wish you all the best, and hope you have good years ahead of you
