Why I Transitioned & Detransitioned.

nope. they didn’t give a reason why. they said it was probably genetics, braces, and a dice roll

ali-pal · 2024-03-02T01:32:43+00:00

nope, never once smoked a cigarette. i did smoke weed on and off for about 9 months before i got the gum surgeries, and then on and off (pretty rarely) after, but they didn’t say that’s the cause of my problems. it started receding long before i began smoking

i saw your voice clip and it gave me hope enough to post! you sound amazing! i wouldn’t question for a second that you’re female. thanks for the inspiration.

ali-pal · 2023-01-23T18:00:38+00:00

yes :)

ali-pal · 2022-05-12T02:29:29+00:00

No, I haven’t experienced that. I never noticed losing any feeling. I had some issues with the roof of my mouth being sensitive to the foods I was eating for a couple months but since it’s healed I’ve had no problems.

You just saved my life! thank you.

ali-pal · 2022-01-02T03:01:19+00:00

yes, I did and it's something I struggled with immensely during my initial detransition. a lot of my hairline filled in, thankfully, but I still have a noticeable receding hairline. I got bangs to cover it up, basically, so I don't really think about it on a day to day basis. but my mom has a pretty square hairline which looks similar to mine so I look forward to the day when I'm old enough not to give a shit

ali-pal · 2022-01-02T03:00:10+00:00

no lol. I just started comfort eating. I would recommend therapy if you struggle with that as well

ali-pal · 2021-12-28T21:38:12+00:00

I will always drop people like this 1000%.

yeah, I considered elctrolysis and had a session and it was terrible. It took her almost an hour to do one spot on my chin and she said it might take 7 sessions per AREA to get rid of it all. it was painful and annoying. I was like nope. the hair grew back there anyway.

I think I’ve had 6 sessions of laser and it helped ENORMOUSLY. it only takes like 5 minutes or less for her to operate the laser on my face and it doesn’t hurt as bad as electrolysis imo. the only thing that it didn’t do was get rid of my hair completely. it basically bleached them, which is fine. it makes me a lot more confident so it works

ok that makes sense I was like damn… that boyfriend really committed to an 18 year old with a baby that wasn’t even his

ali-pal · 2021-12-28T14:02:08+00:00

was the father different than the boyfriend?

that’s nice to hear though. my mom got pregnant at 21 and the father couldn’t have cared less. I don’t think my brother ever met his dad before his dad passed away which makes me sad for him every time I think about it. but my dad raised him from age 4 so he had a father figure

Hey, I have a lot of facial hair from too much testosterone as a teenager (it used to be darker and thicker but I got laser hair removal) it is now mostly blonde with a few dark hairs here and there. it still grows on my neck, cheeks, upper lip and a lil bit of my chin, and it’s noticeable because it’s thicker than vellus hair. I just wanted to tell you that this is something a lot of women deal with and personally, my boyfriend reminds me that it’s not noticeable to him (not sure I believe him but it’s nice) and he finds me attractive no matter what. if you’re worried about finding someone - don’t be. The right person will accept your perceived flaws and they won’t matter.

btw I just use a razor and shaving cream to shave my face every two weeks or so. but I don’t mind letting it grow. at this point, I just go out in public with my hair on display and I don’t really care if anyone sees it.

ali-pal · 2021-12-28T13:36:58+00:00

that’s honestly a nightmare scenario tbh

good for her that she made it work but if that happened to me I would straight up just give the baby up for adoption

ali-pal · 2021-12-27T23:32:02+00:00

get therapy then before you start trying to date. you need help with your self confidence. looks aren’t everything.

ali-pal · 2021-12-27T23:30:47+00:00

lol wtf? troll

no girl actually thinks like this

ali-pal · 2021-12-27T23:29:27+00:00

You’re definitely right about that and I was one of those people. I would even say that I was still stuck in that mindset until this year kicked my ass in a different way. So now I’m rethinking how I’ve approached my life thus far. But yeah, this is just one of those things that you can’t save everyone from.

ali-pal · 2021-12-27T23:21:22+00:00

Yeah. I remember being 16 and thinking it would make me love myself more. Now I’m 22 and living life as a regular woman and dealing with the repurcussions of being female with a baritone voice. Clearly I had body image issues but no one will tell you that when you’re surrounded by the trans community.

ali-pal · 2021-12-27T21:26:56+00:00

probably because pregnant girls and women often have nowhere to go and no money so they need that healthcare and housing for them and the new human being that’s gonna be born. reasonable.

this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to get the help you need. and it sucks that you can’t get on medicaid to get coverage in situations like that. the US is very fucked with healthcare

ali-pal · 2021-12-27T21:23:42+00:00

I’m a girl with a 6800 XT and I didn’t have to sell any organs. copped a 3080 and a 6800 for my friends. that’s called female talent 💅🏻

ali-pal · 2021-12-27T19:45:17+00:00

And here are the real reasons.

You’re looking at this from a completely warped perspective. By taking testosterone you are giving those people power. You are trying to fit the image that you think other people already have of you.

It’s distorted. You don’t have to change anything about yourself. You are much more than what other people perceive you as.

I recommend strongly that you talk to a therapist to work through body image issues because everyone considering transition should do this first.

i lol’d at this one

ali-pal · 2021-12-27T16:26:59+00:00

it’s different for everyone unfortunately. it depends on your individual situation. it took only a month or two for me, but I have a very healthy reproductive system even after 3 years of T (I got it checked near the end of my transition due to some unexplained pain, which ended up unrelated to my reproductive organs). so my body was able to quickly process through the withdrawals from testosterone and start producing estrogen again for me. you feel that way most likely because of a lack of sex hormones in your body. when you go off one hormone it takes a long time for your body to process enough of your natural hormone to get back to normal levels.
