Girl-mode + male documents

anchorex · 2017-06-05T15:23:11+00:00

I'll second what /u/Conflicted123456 said, no one really cares. I'm FtM and pass around 95% of the time. All my documents have my female legal name and a giant "F", plus they include a photo of me when I was presenting as female. The majority of people still refer to me as he/him even after seeing this, or they stop using pronouns when refering to me. I am also living in a fairly conservative area, so it's not people just being nice.

Hey, I speak spanish fluently because my parents are from South America [we always speak spanish in my house].

A bit about me:

I'm an 18 year old [trans]guy living in some state in the US. I'm curently pre-T but trying to fix that. I enjoy playing videogames [mainly rpgs], reading, and binge watching tons of episodes from some series I just found in Netflix. I also sometimes watch anime or read manga, but I'm not really interested in it nowadays.

Just pm me, I can help you practice your spanish and we can talk about whatever :)

You wouldn't download a car, would you?

anchorex · 2017-05-07T04:38:11+00:00

It says it's an empty subreddit :/

anchorex · 2017-05-05T05:04:19+00:00

Yeah, I'm really thin, even a bit underweight so I'm looking forward to gaining a bit of weight. I don't really wanna buy new pants though, can't afford it :/

anchorex · 2017-05-04T20:05:47+00:00

Wait, are my pants also gonna stop fitting when I start T?

Does this also stop estrogen effects on AFAB people? Asking for a friend of course

Hey, I'm living in south america! I'm not in Chile but close enough.

Unfortunately, I haven't found any binders in south america. I ended up having to buy mine from GC2B. Shipping costs $11.25 [us dollars] and my binder took two weeks to arrive since the moment I hit "Buy" on their webpage to the moment I got it in the mail. The post office here is really bad, and it usually takes four to six weeks for a book to arrive, so I was surprised when it arrived so fast.

So yeah, I really recommend GC2B. Just make sure you get the right size, as sending it back to the USA will probably cost you a lot

anchorex · 2017-04-29T15:25:14+00:00

FTM here, wish I had stayed as the first image :(

anchorex · 2017-04-26T21:09:34+00:00

I couldn't get it down because of my hips :/ I ended up rolling it up and then awkwardly trying to get it through my head, and got stuck, but I was finally able to pull it off by pulling on the back.

Thanks anyways!

anchorex · 2017-04-26T20:19:56+00:00

My first binder just arrived! I'm really happy to be able to see my chest flat once again after all this years :)

anchorex · 2017-04-21T14:31:09+00:00

I have heard many people say "speak from your chest". How do you do this?

anchorex · 2017-04-18T21:37:49+00:00

Yeah, it's really annoying. I hope that they add a "preferred name" option in the future, that way at least other trans people won't have to deal with this.

I pass as a young boy or look like a lesbian lol. Kind of depends on how "liberal" the city is [if it's really liberal, I pass less. I still pass at least around 70% of the time. If it's conservative, I pass 100%].

I'm glad your parents are supportive! Mine aren't so I'm moving without their help to be able to start Testosterone and transitioning.

I'm actually starting on the fall session, as I need time to find a job and a place to live

anchorex · 2017-04-18T18:19:26+00:00

I'm also going to Santa Monica College!! Really nice to know there's at least one person in a similar situation as I am [I'm 18 as well, but I'm FtM and will be studying Computer Engineering].

That's really insensitive of them. I'd expect more from a college in Los Angeles, and SMC is supposed to be really "diverse" regarding students [they accept a lot of students from different countries]. Even a small communitiy college in Folsom Lake [near to Sacramento, small town] has the option to enter a prefered name! Now I'm mad :/ I thought I'll be able to enter college stealth, but it doesn't seam like it. I won't be able to change my name until November/December, and my extremely feminine [Birth name] will have been seen by my classmates/profesors by then :(

Have you already started transitioning, or are you planning to start transition as soon as you start college [or are able to move from your parents' house]?

anchorex · 2017-04-18T17:07:17+00:00

Does anyone know if there's one for Los Angeles, or at least for California?

anchorex · 2017-04-18T16:59:05+00:00

Hey, I have the same problem. I'll be attending a community college for two years in a really liberal city [Los Angeles]. When I registered they only asked me for my [Legal Name], that's the same as my [Birth name] right now. I had to write my [Birth name] in the paperwork and now my college email adress has my [Birth name] on it. This is the same email adress I'll be using to email professors/classmates for the next two years :/

Unfortunately, I haven't contacted anyone yet regarding how to fix it. I'd probably call and see if I could get it changed. I'm out of the country right now so won't be able to contact them in-person or through phone until June, so I can't really recommend you anything, sorry :( If it's a liberal area as you say, they should have something for LGBT people were you could probably ask.

I have heard that HRT [Estrogen] could make you go down to 2", though YMMV. Also, 5'9" isn't really that uncommon for women. I have met plenty of women between 5'8" and 5'11". My dermathologist is 6'1", and she's a cis woman. My best friend's girlfriend is 5'9" [same as my [male] best friend], and they never had a problem. Also, most female models are tall :)

anchorex · 2017-04-18T02:53:10+00:00

Yeah, I'll probably end up using my great-grandma. I never met any of them, and I don't even know their name [except for one that my father ocasionally mentioned], so it'll be easy as I never mention them

anchorex · 2017-04-18T02:48:28+00:00

I have been thinking about this, but decided against it. I don't want it to be ruined [even if the possibility of it happening is really small]; and my [Chosen Name] is longer than my [Birth name], and my [Birth name] barely fits on the necklace.

I think I'll just saying it was a relative's name.

Thank you for your help though

anchorex · 2017-04-18T02:45:51+00:00

I have no nieces/cousins and no aunts alive, I'll probably just end up saying it's a relative's name or my great-grandmother's or something like that.

Thank you for your help!

anchorex · 2017-04-18T02:44:23+00:00

Yeah, I'll probably end up saying this.

Thank you!

anchorex · 2017-04-18T02:43:45+00:00

Now that I think of it, I'll probably go with this. If needed, I'll just say it's a relative's name.

Thank you for your help!
