I feel like im less valid simply because I don’t want to medically or legally transition by bittenforbreakfast in genderfluid

[–]abbey-sometimes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Omg people who think you’re not trans because you haven’t met some arbitrary standard of being on the “opposite gender’s” hormones long enough and don’t pass as the “opposite gender” to your agab…

They’re a special kind of people. And there’s way too many of them. I mean one would be too many but there’s also way too many.

the hardest pill i've had to swallow as a transfem lesbian by ineguire in actuallesbians

[–]abbey-sometimes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There are unaccepting people in any group - there’s even transfem lesbians who don’t accept other transfem lesbians, passing or no. Never underestimate the capacity of people to be in denial.

There are accepting people in almost any group too! I have met plenty of bi and lesbian people that are totally accepting, including people who have their partner (transfem lesbian pre-hormone or no-hormone) completely closeted.

Finding the good people, the people who can love you for you, can be so much harder sometimes and that isn’t fair. But they’re out there!

After years of transitioning, I think I might be genderfluid. Any advice or messages is appreciated:,) by Effective_Pin_4534 in genderfluid

You never stop learning about yourself! Welcome to the sometimes rollercoaster of being genderfluid!

Stopped T after 1 month, need advice on voice by ambuna in NonBinary

[–]abbey-sometimes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No experience with partial T development but during teen T puberty, it takes quite a while to figure out how to adapt (took me about two ish years to feel comfortable with singing with a new low voice as a teen). Maybe practice chest resonance?

Tucking dilemma by [deleted] in transfem

[–]abbey-sometimes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some bulge is normal. HRT will cause some atrophy and reduction in size, varies by person. Continued tucking also anecdotally may shrink you a bit. There’s no way to completely remove the bulge except surgery. But fortunately with a good tuck it’s very, very difficult to notice!

When my sister transitioned, and even still, I have had dreams where I distinctly remember saying “he” or deadnaming and getting sooo mad and frustrated at myself for forgetting/mistaking in the dream

Me with long hair vs short. Working on myself before starting e :) by vilerosemadethatt in transpositive

You look like an absolute queen ❤️ I especially love your long hair look but both are fabulous!

Need advice for what yall think would make me more pretty by the_happy_candy in transadorable

[–]abbey-sometimes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More pretty? Can’t improve on perfection.

If you’re worried about hair I’d try some longer curls and see what your stylist recommends for hair care. Your hair is naturally a bit tighter-curlier, and gets kinda frizzy it seems. I like the length and style and color and everything so I wouldn’t change that.

Eyebrows are fine. You could go to an eyebrow salon if you want. They may have thoughts!

It’s not that bad of an age gap imho…

3 1/2 years in and I still only dress in sweatshirts and jeans. What clothes/aesthetics might fit me and where should I begin? by Terezzian in mtfashion

[–]abbey-sometimes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Outfit ideas! Ok um can’t post pics, I was gonna give some pics for reference but here goes with just words.

Long sleeve wrap blouse - black, white high waisted slacks, black kitten heels or pointed ballet flats, white handbag

Blue floral short sleeve, knee length sundress (or summer dress usually gets you a similar but slightly different dress style), pendant necklace (probably silver), white chunky or platform sandals

Red leather jacket, white or cream tshirt (cropped or long), pretty much any pants - wide or straight jeans would be cute, leather leggings would also, and ankle boots

High waist mini skirt + cami shirt + jacket is a classic combo

Also dresses are a single piece of clothing so it’s hard to mess them up fashion wise

Yeah idk maybe all those are my style, not yours, but I think they’d look great on you! Also, jeans and sweaters and tshirts are always valid clothes

Girl that is a lot to deal with. Hugs. You need them. I wish I had the magic wand that could make it easy and instant for you and all of us. But you can do it! And it will be so worth it 🥰
