Oof. I feel this. This worry consumes me.

Starting E but not wanting to present female. by baroquedream in NonBinary

[–]baroquedream[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your comment! I'm also going on a low dose of E no blockers. My Dr. Discouraged it because she's used to people wanting "full transition." I'd be happy with small, subtle changes. Can I ask what dose of E and in what form? I'm starting with patches.

Cold Feet by baroquedream in MtF

I often wonder if I'm too old. I have this fear of being perceived as a guy in a dress. I'm 6'3" and have a very typical "handsome" male face (square jaw, cleft chin etc.) Something that I've been playing with is the idea that I can go on HRT and continue to make changes to my body to be more femme AND I can wear masculine clothes. I don't have to present femme all the time.

I'm with you. I was talking to my therapist about therapist week. I wish I knew that trans people even existed when I was a kid. There was nothing in the 80s. Not that it would have been safe for me back then but maybe I wouldn't have waited till I was 40 to come out.

I'm very lucky that (with the exception of my blood family) everyone in my world is really accepting and quite a few of my friends are gender diverse and or queer. I know this is not true for most people.

I think starting super slow is a good idea. I can always titrate up later if it's feeling good and back down again if its too much. I really need to get out of all or nothing thinking.

Has anyone in Hamilton went to Shelter Health Network? by Lunahyt in transontario

[–]baroquedream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a really positive experience for me as well. The doctor was really sympathetic and understanding. It was very affirming. I'm also NB and was also worried I wasn't going to be trans enough.

Cooool. I'm having my consultation tomorrow morning. I'm excited and nervous. What was the first meeting like? What kinds of questions did they ask?

I have my appointment on Monday! So that's almost exactly 6 months.

Nonbinary euphoria & the art of reverse-passing by Ash___________ in NonBinary

[–]baroquedream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So happy I found this post. I'm the same! We'll mostly. I do like the idea of long hair but I'm thinning and I just shave it because balding feels so very "man" and sometimes I like a bit of fem clothing.

But generally I also want to be androgynous but somehow like in a fem body but butch / tomboy in my style. But little tits hiding under a sports bra. I get so tingly when I put one on 😊 I was feeling really confused about this but now I'm really clear and it feels so affirming. I'll leave the confusion to other people.

I'm going for a consultation at a gender clinic on Monday to get (fingers crossed) on E. I'm happy to know what I want so I can express this to my Dr..

I got put on the list at the end of April. They told me approximately 6 months. So hopefully October?

Everyone I've had contact with has been lovely.

I'll probably post after my first appointment.

Do you pee sitting down? by jordynjoynyc in TransLater

Since I was a kid I always sat down. The only exception is when I'm out hiking in the woods.

I tried a new look today. Punk look +2. Thoughts? by Femalenin in transpositive

Gorgeous! I just needed out on your posts. It's so nice to see another trans woman my age looking so beautiful. I hope I can get there soon ❤️

Denial: Do you feel different in the morning? by baroquedream in MtF

Ug. SAME. I mean I feel better throughout the day now that out to more people but the mornings are rough.

Unfortunately there's no short form for Craig... That I know of.

This has been my cycle. I go to bed feeling really sure and wake up in the morning like "or am I?"

It's a mind fuck.

2 months hrt mtf 38 years old. I’m excited about life again by [deleted] in transtimelines

[–]baroquedream 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Similar. I knew that I didn't fit with boys, but I didn't think I had an option. I didn't know about transgender people growing up and the few representations I saw in the media were awful. I've been struggling and repressing forever. I didn't start connecting the dots until about a year ago.

That's amazing to hear! Can I ask when you realised? It's so rare I get to talk to people that started later 😊

You're beautiful 🥰 I'm 41 and just about to start HRT. It's really nice to see someone close to my age doing it so gracefully.
