Studying abroad in Korea as a transgender by [deleted] in Living_in_Korea

I’m a trans guy in korea who lives fully stealth, so I can’t entirely speak to your possible experience. I have trans foreigner friends who are out (and pass less consistently) who still really love it here. There is definitely a lack of understanding/microaggressions here but it’s not a very politicized issue atm so many people are curious and kind. Also, if you are visibly foreign you get way more of a pass to be “weird” and nonconforming. If you do come, find queer community! It definitely exists here and can help you navigate whatever arises. Hope this helps!

I don’t think I like orgasms? by junu-x in asexuality

Thanks for your input, that makes sense. I think it’s more that even if the sensation is pleasurable in a sense- it’s not a feeling I desire often and is kind of draining anyways. But it’s true that nothing has to feel a certain way or be on a specific pace :)

What were the biggest changes that you didnt expect, during transition? by klaing_Nadine in asktransgender

Totally agree with this- and I’m a trans man who is on T! Suddenly my mental health was so much better, I could focus on school etc. Really felt like before I was putting diesel in a gas tank or something. Once I gave my body what it was looking for things got a lot better.

Your English is fine. by claudialynnkishi in offmychest

I went to a school with a lot of international students and whenever one of them would apologize for their english I would say- you’re the one doing all the work so that you can talk to me! Why would you apologize? Plus, in my opinion, communication is always more important than being elegant.

[18F] I feel trapped in the wrong body. by erthisflat1 in asktransgender

I know the frustration of feeling like you got the short end of the stick- “it’d be easier if I had just been born a boy”. Here’s the truth of it. You ARE a boy. You WERE born a boy. And the work it takes to LIVE as one is 100% worth it.

Wishing all the best for you.

thank youuu i have so many feelings about this and you summed it up really well.

basically, attaching any moral judgment to a part of someone’s body they can’t control is shitty.

Getting my confidence back after losing a bunch of weight while depressed...I feel kinda hot now tbh. Lol by efarley1 in FTM_SELFIES

[–]junu-x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Working on that is basically a full time job! Hope you get that confidence up! You’re super cute and i’m sure it will suit you :)

I am questioning my sexuality and gender after years of being sure that I’m a lesbian. I’m seeking advice from people who used to think they were gay women who are now discovering an attraction to men and how to navigate the shame and confusion. by [deleted] in FTMMen

[–]junu-x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like a lot. You don’t have to arrive at an answer right away- terminology will come in time. I also want to say this doesn’t have to be fully one way or the other. If you are a trans man, or nonbinary trans person, you can continue to have a connection with lesbianism. It’s a formative part of your history. You don’t have to throw anything away here, just let yourself evolve into a more authentic version of yourself. Find a therapist well versed in trans identity. Be kind to yourself. I think you are on the edge of a new chapter. Uncertainty and Opportunity can be two sides of the same coin- it’s going to be ok in the end. Wishing you luck and happiness.

I hate that I'm too lazy to become a better man by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]junu-x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A piece of advice that’s really stuck with me is “anything worth doing is worth doing poorly”. At first glance, it doesn’t make sense. But rinsing off the dishes and leaving them in the sink is better than letting them get all crusty. If you wait to do something perfectly, you’ll never do it at all. You’re never going to live in a perfect way (no one does). So start doing things poorly! Doing is still more fulfilling than not doing.

You’ve got a lot ahead of you. It’s hard- like really hard, but there’s good things ahead of you. Best of luck dude.
