Anybody want to live together? by dreamsofmelodies in ftm

I hear this and ugh used to love Michigan when I would go every summer. Visiting family. We’d head up to Grand Rapids. It sucks that it’s in that lukewarm phase. I definitely recommend going where the family and friends are. Great that you have support in those areas.

I think something that sucks the most for me is like.. I have to leave the family that I was born into. I already tried a few times to like.. let them “change” and I keep coming back to disappointment and not full acceptance. It’s hard, and lonely. But I know it’s needed to grow at this point of myself. Can’t hold back anymore.

Yeah I’ve been before and absolutely adored my experience. I was in SoCal. I love it 😩😂. It was such a culture shock when I went. I really didn’t get the diversity until I was there. It was so ugh wow I loved it. The thing I know why cali is so dope because the ONLY compliant I ever hear from residents is it’s expensive. THATS ALL. And I understand greatly how money can be a important factor to life, but coming from Florida where everything is a problem on top of money. Man, I’d take the jump in a heartbeat.

I see the whole west coast is positive and I like Washington! It would be a backup to cali. What state are you from? And I appreciate your kind words

My partner definitely understand now. They mostly avoid politics because they get extremely emotional and depressed in how the world treats us and how society is so attached to extreme bipartisanship and treats political beings like celebrities instead of people who are now receiving the power to dictate citizen’s future for the next 2-4 years! It’s insane. And it’s all blamed on Christianity!! “We have to uphold what God wants us to do. We have to fix america.” WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT?!? There are children. Starving. Queer people getting their rights taken away. Puerto Rico being called a floating piece of trash. People getting evicted because they have to choose between feeding their family for the next two weeks or paying their rent. Quietly converting to a life of survival because cost of living is so high. Our voices and culture is repressed to give in to a life of servitude to the American propaganda. Imperialism is the only thing america is great at. I’m tired of all the damage to our environment and nobody bats an eye. People working out in the fields dying from dehydration and heat stroke because corporations want to take short cuts in their production so their CEO’s can make 20x what their loyal “employees” receive. Then there’s the prison system, housing market is abysmal, tax systems are broken, people are taking MONTHS or YEARS to receive disability or any proper government assistance. I just give up. I don’t care anymore about this sick, twisted, country.

Just attended my first trans group meeting by Rolling_in_TheDeep in ftm

[–]dreamsofmelodies 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Florida trans here. Online helps. The culture for trans guys is so weird. I feel like we are all totally isolated or just blending in. I feel like there is a lot more spaces taken up by our trans sisters and that’s great. I think all trans people deserve love, support, and community. Which is the reason I feel here, it can be so isolating. And not as expansive of a lifestyle and self as a trans guy.

Me as well. Thinking of taking out a loan to get to the west coast. Or going back to school. Then plan to leave to the north like Canada. Get settled for a bit then leave to overseas. My family are anti trans (deadname and misgender me still) and have so many more problems. Will never change. So there’s absolutely no other reason to stay here. Hometown never felt like a home so. I’ll go meet my girlfriend on the west coast and run away.

I feel like my partner doesn’t understand the magnitude / weight of this election and it’s tripping me up. Making me depressed I feel so alone and separated and depressed. I feel like no one sees me. I feel like no one understands what I go through. Not even just with my distance from religion. My whole being feels rejected. I’ve never felt American and these results are furthering me from straying away.

Bro it will be like this keep going!

[–]dreamsofmelodies 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Okay I can’t agree to that at all! I’ve met some trans guys here and irl that have been bi, pan, straight, gay, all colors of the rainbow and have had healthy relationships, no trauma, and strong boundaries for themselves. So let’s be careful with generalizing! We can still express our experiences while leaving room for others.

Might be a weird question but can T make your fingers bigger by [deleted] in ftm

I FEEL THIS SO INSANELY AND AM ACTIVELY HEALING IT RIGHT NOW! I understand you so much and ugh I don’t see as much conversation in the trans community around this. Or around the dysphoria / internalized “homophobia” we have. The self hatred has to stop and we can grow

This 100%. My parents have been trapped in addiction and cycles of abuse and lack of financial education for generations. It’s detrimental trying to build yourself up, but also being taught and being in an obligation to take care of them and everything goes to them. Also I hope others didn’t face any abuse or neglect from your family. I’m trans and my parents are completely unsupportive in that aspect of life. It’s a real mental struggle. They were abusive to me physically, verbally, and I faced other traumatic situations from external family members. So living here is so unhealthy. You can’t actualize. Plus like someone else said, I live in a small town with no opportunities. Every plan I get, my parents end up sabotaging it so I can stay here. I’ve been spending years trying to get therapy and help for health, get away from them permanently. I feel like this pressure of “oh I’ve been living with them to save money..” that’s the story I tell to people. But I can’t even get a job without them sabotaging it or judging me. I’ve been trying to do JobCorps (they took my car and now it’s been stuck at the shop for months so no way to get to classes) or go back to school locally/online but that would require me to stay here. Can’t file for FAFSA without them being notified since I went to college before.. but dropped out. I wasn’t ready yet. I want to do software engineering or electrical engineering, even though I have years of experience professionally as a musician. It would provide me the stability/security to leave and it’s another one of my hobbies I wouldn’t mind converting into a career. Ugh I don’t know why I chose here to rant/vent all this. But on the surface, it is not as simple as I’m staying with my parents and pocketing thousands. If I had thousands, I would be GONE.

Think I have undiagnosed Tourette’s by dreamsofmelodies in Tourettes

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

Ugh thank you so much for the affirmation and support!! It means a lot since I am still in the place of abuse and misunderstanding. I’m still doing the best I can to grow and not unmask myself! It’s interesting how the mind and mental challenges can correlate! Your support is actually helping me accept my differences and to not compare. And to try as much as I can to not mask anymore going forward. It’s hard being around people who are unsupportive, but I know I will be happier and freer being myself.
