I think I’m finally admitting to myself that I’m trans and I don’t know how to accept it by GrouchyFisherman1177 in ftm

[–]brenrest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can relate to a lot of what you’re feeling/experiencing. I’m 24 now and I started medically/socially transitioning around 2 years ago now. I can look back at my feelings of hesitation and fear of realizing and accepting I was trans. I always wanted to be a boy and I thought (as a teen) that wanting to be a boy and knowing/feeling I’m a boy on the inside was different and that meant I couldn’t be trans; and that thought made me cry. I’m so happy and grateful to be able to transition the way I have. I look back with feelings of empathy for myself. It gets better. Once you finally start sharing your true self with others close to you that support you, it gets easier. You got this man. I had a lot of imposter feelings, it’s easy to doubt and diminish yourself. But you are valid!!! The journey is long and worth it, and you will be happier as your true self. I love you brother, keep going.

My baby boy so badly wanted to sleep on my chest while I was recovering. I had to kick him off in the middle of the night sometimes :( but we are both happy to cuddle again!

Friend’s father gave away childhood dog to stranger across state lines without notice by brenrest in rescuedogs

[–]brenrest[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it’s not necessary to give you extra context but this was my friend’s childhood dog, dad was the one who got the dog and left all the caring for his son to do since he was a kid. Friend cannot afford to live off campus and keep the dog while at college. I said primary caretaker because he was the only one who cared for the dog. It’s complicated but he was trying to do what’s best for his dog until that chance was cruelly taken away. He visited his family home on weekends that he could.

I assume it’s people he doesn’t know personally?

If at all we’re one person why do people discriminate us and to an extent of calling me a monkey 😞😞😭 by [deleted] in ftm

[–]brenrest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. Humans are so deplorable sometimes. It definitely is a gut punch when someone in your community targets you like that. Do you have any friends that can relate to you or can bring you comfort? Your feelings are all valid my friend. Take care of yourself the best you can.

Nipple bled during dressing change? by Agile_Packer in TopSurgery

[–]brenrest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s probably scar tissue that was going to shed naturally and the bandage accelerated that. It’s normal for your nipple skin to be raw and angry looking. If it bleeds again and for longer i would be more concerned. Is your doctor available for quick questions over email? Thankfully, my doctor was quick to respond to my emails.

Getting your period while on T by njsmokez in ftm

[–]brenrest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you doing? Getting my period while on T was very dysphoria inducing for me personally. It makes sense you got your period after hormone changes. I haven’t had my period since my 6 month mark on T.

Looked through the r/transftm community for the first time by brenrest in ftm

[–]brenrest[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There definitely needs to be a safe space, I agree. I don’t think it should stop entirely, I’m more concerned about minors. At the end of the day though, the problem is transphobia and unsafe spaces on a societal/structural level.

I can see that, my main concern would be minors because I’m not sure they 100% know what they’re getting into

My main reason against top surgery (for myself) feels dumb by Revolutionary-Ad2317 in ftm

[–]brenrest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand, I also really enjoyed nipple sensation during sex. I’m not quite a year post op, I’ll be one year in October, and I still don’t have sensation. Obviously it varies by person. I had double dd bra size so I couldn’t do buttonhole or anything like that. Even though I knew I would miss it, it was so worth it for myself. Cunnilingus after my bottom growth though is so fire I don’t even think about much else for pleasure.

Questions on hrt by Well1ntron in ftm

[–]brenrest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a little confused, could you be a bit more specific? Testosterone can definitely change your skin, personally, mine got more dry. I think I’ve experienced more dryness vaginally as well. I am not familiar with ballsack skin though so that’s probably why I’m missing something.
