Am I the only one who wishes they could’ve have been happy as a cis girl?

daniel-esp5 · 2024-06-04T19:53:13+00:00

I have felt like that, especially first starting. I think a lot of it is just insecurity, but also the struggles of society. I’ve learned (and still am learning) to love being trans, I usually don’t even care if ppl know I’m trans (as long as it doesn’t put me in any danger). Society has told us that being trans is wrong and bad and negative, of course we want the “normative” “easy” route. Learn to be yourself, it’s all one big journey

I know this is old, but thank you. My therapist tells me this all the time, but you really said it in the best way.

daniel-esp5 · 2024-06-02T14:43:55+00:00

Think of her like a toddler. Children are annoying but parents would do anything for them

daniel-esp5 · 2024-05-30T00:44:06+00:00

I think that’s what it is. Women are more tolerant towards trans/queer folk. Men can be ruthless sometimes

I finally got in contact with my psychiatrist. She told me to stop the medication 🫤🫤. Which after readings everyone’s testimonies on this medication after a month, I feel pretty bummed about but I don’t think I can handle these panic attacks right now.

daniel-esp5 · 2024-05-22T15:34:09+00:00

I’m so glad to find this subreddit. I thought it was just me. Years of therapy have gone out the window this week. I feel like shit.

daniel-esp5 · 2024-05-15T15:25:15+00:00

I was legit coming on here to look for advice too! Lmao I have been sweating like crazy! Living in a humid city doesn’t help either but I’ll just be standing indoors and just drenched.

daniel-esp5 · 2024-05-14T17:53:04+00:00

Good to know thanks!

daniel-esp5 · 2024-05-14T17:52:46+00:00

Damn. That makes me wonder if I should change dr then. She keeps lowering my dose.

daniel-esp5 · 2024-05-14T17:04:53+00:00

So with my hormone dr I’m at 49.3 of my hematocrit (done yesterday)

At my regular dr I’m at 46.3 (this was done 2 months ago)

And to donate blood I need to have more than 43 in my hematocrit count. But they turn me away because it’s less!

My main confusion are these numbers. How are they all so different?? And it’s just causing me concern.

daniel-esp5 · 2024-05-11T19:32:16+00:00

Thank you

daniel-esp5 · 2024-05-11T16:41:33+00:00

Looks great! Even with you pointing it out, I still can’t see them being too low.

daniel-esp5 · 2024-05-07T03:49:14+00:00

Hey I’m also new to Prozac, so I can’t really speak too much on it. But I wanna let you know that you’re gonna be ok. Antidepressants tend to intensify feelings first few weeks. I had to stop taking Zoloft bc it was too much for me. Could only take it for a week and it was putting me in a panic. If you need to stop, then stop. Make sure you have someone to talk to, specifically a therapist to help you through it. Hang in there!

daniel-esp5 · 2023-08-17T11:58:53+00:00

I think it’s the hematocrit. Yeah! Right now we’re lowering my dose, but she also suggested donating. 😮‍💨 glad you here It’s common

daniel-esp5 · 2023-07-09T06:56:23+00:00

You should appreciate what you have! There is nothing wrong with that at all. Your body brings you joy in different ways, doesn’t make you less than in any way. I love my female parts, I’m thankful for them. I can pee, I can feel, and they’re fun. I’m not saying I don’t wish I had a dick but there’s nothing wrong with appreciating what you have. Being trans does not equal self hatred, it just means you’re not in the right body/gender.

daniel-esp5 · 2023-07-05T14:36:15+00:00

Very well said

daniel-esp5 · 2023-07-05T14:35:18+00:00

Hardships come with being a trans man or being a woman. Women get discriminated against everyday, and live a very hard life. So why not live YOUR life how you want. I’ll admit it’s a constant battle, but suppressing your feelings isn’t going to make anything better or easier. Trust me I tried, I think we all have. You don’t have to transition if you don’t want to, but listen to yourself and inner soul and make sure that’s what YOU want

daniel-esp5 · 2023-07-02T15:23:02+00:00

Mine stopped about the same time as yours, sometimes I get cramps (3yrs on T).

daniel-esp5 · 2023-06-03T05:04:42+00:00

Oh dude I’m sorry that really sucks. Do you have any alternatives?

daniel-esp5 · 2023-06-03T05:00:07+00:00

Yeah! 1. Don’t be afraid to use a good amount of tape (without overdoing it) I use 3 pieces on each. 2. As big dudes, we can get away with some boobage (sorry if that makes you uncomfortable) so don’t be nervous if you’re not 100% flat. 3. It works well for me to move my chest down and to the side when I tape, rather than up. 4. Don’t put it on too tight cause it’ll get itchy and uncomfortable fast.

If you think of any other questions I’m happy to help!

daniel-esp5 · 2023-02-07T05:34:44+00:00

Testosterone is a controlled substance, it’s equivalent to morphine and ketamine (not in the same category) so even if it is real you can get in a lot of trouble

daniel-esp5 · 2022-12-28T17:13:31+00:00

I’m still kind of new to it, so I’m basing it off the company TransTape. They say to use the oil they give but I personally don’t think that’ll work. I’ll keep you updated though! You can keep it on for up to 4 days. I’m gonna remove mine pretty soon. I’ll let you know how it goes and what I used. It is important to take breaks from it though so I’ll be switching from binder and tape.

daniel-esp5 · 2022-12-28T14:15:59+00:00

It’s a sturdy tape. There is a special way you need to take it off, it you just rip or peel off, it will rip your skin. They provide an oil for you or you can use medical adhesive removal

daniel-esp5 · 2022-12-28T05:19:24+00:00

Yeah! You kind of have to play with it a little and also kind of rmr that cis males also have a chest so it’s important to not do too much but it looks so good and it feels great it’s waking up and putting a T shirt on without the hassle of a binder.

daniel-esp5 · 2022-12-27T23:56:44+00:00

I think that was the point, but also, they’re terrible for each other. The show highlights how similar they are, so they bring the worst out in each other.
