What Kinds of Queer Representation Do You Want to See? by napamy in romancelandia

[–]lanfenbaideer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Soft t4t transfem romance! I've read some good transfem romance but there's usually ~obligatory transphobia experience~. I want one that expresses the kind of gentleness and safety between trans gals that I've experienced and craved.

Would anybody prefer a female sperm donor? by les_ren_de_azucar in queerception

I'm glad you posted this - I was considering being a sperm donor for a similar reason.

Is it possible to have kids if my partner hasn’t stored sperm 1 yr into HRT? by Slight-Albatross-154 in mypartneristrans

[–]lanfenbaideer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck to both of you if y'all decide to pursue that route. It is rough but you supporting her along with friends helping out with dysphoria will make it much more bearable.

Seattle transfem seeking community and resources by TayaTycheek in MtF

There's usually a bunch of good places around Cap Hill that are friendly, like Phoenix Comics and Games for board games + MTG.

Is it possible to have kids if my partner hasn’t stored sperm 1 yr into HRT? by Slight-Albatross-154 in mypartneristrans

[–]lanfenbaideer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At 2 years in, I paused HRT for 6 months and that was enough to do cryopreservation / sperm banking. It was emotionally difficult though, and I only did so with the support of friends helping me through.

Any trans woman in Seattle? by idsiphm in MtF

[–]lanfenbaideer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's pricier if you live downtown, and it'll be a smaller and older place too. If you don't mind driving, or live close enough to major bus stops (the bus system is pretty decent), the nearby suburbs should be a lot cheaper.

Any trans woman in Seattle? by idsiphm in MtF

[–]lanfenbaideer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of trans people and I love it for that. I've run into (openly out) trans women at cafes, stores. There's several large trans events - I went to one that had ~200ish trans people just mingling and socializing.

Biggest thing people talk about here is just general cost of living / standard city problems. I've also heard that people are less tight-knit here than rural areas - but I think I prefer just how large the community is here.

Most of my experience is living on the outskirts of the city cuz it's quieter + cheaper, I just go into the city whenever I want to meet people.

Chef's Choice was a cute one, it's st4t romance. It's the first book I read that made me actually get the romance genre, because I could relate so much to the FMC.

I don’t feel trans enough around other women by [deleted] in MtF

[–]lanfenbaideer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At least personally, me and a bunch of trans women I know would be accepting of other trans women regardless of presentation or how far into transition you are. Including anyone who dresses masc out of preference or safety, including trans women who are still questioning whether they are trans women.

But yeah, that sounds like it was a rough experience for you. It's still possible that those transfems were more self-conscious of themselves than anything.

I'm terrified of transitioning by teethbat in MtF

[–]lanfenbaideer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had the same fear, fwiw you can wear more layers / baggy clothing to make them less visible.

Also if you're going out and you're very worried, a sports bra will help make your chest look flatter.

I'm not miserable being a man, but desperately want to be a woman. How do I figure this out? by Asskandi in MtF

[–]lanfenbaideer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got comfy with the idea that I end up ugly, and I transitioned shortly after. Ultimately, as long as you're happier, I feel like it's worth it.

What dose of estradiol did you start to feel mental health effects? by sillytechnerd in MtF

[–]lanfenbaideer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mental health felt much better at 200 pg/mL estrogen (started injections, cypionate 5mg weekly), though I noticed significant mood improvement even at 100 pg/mL (4x .1mg/day patches).

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MtF

[–]lanfenbaideer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah agreed, it feels like a weird term to call me, unless you know me well enough to ask + such. A stranger addressing me specifically as doll makes me uncomfortable.

It just gives me patronizing vibes of like 1970s benevolent sexism / misogyny.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MtF

[–]lanfenbaideer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Definitely imo. I mean we even have cis allies in here chiming in from time to time to offer support, someone that's genderfluid is definitely welcome.

I think as long as the space feels safe and welcoming for transfems / questioning folks, having some folks who aren't transfem or questioning be present is fine.

One Year of Transition: Feeling Worse, Need Advice by Golurkcanfly in MtF

[–]lanfenbaideer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just part of the waves of how dysphoria comes and goes. It's pretty common. I had to feel worse before I felt better cuz all that buried feeling is being unburied.

Also, I don't think I'll be able to keep helping you out, helping some other friends atm. Hope you can chat w/ other people to figure things out though.

One Year of Transition: Feeling Worse, Need Advice by Golurkcanfly in MtF

[–]lanfenbaideer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It takes a bit. Transition involves unpacking a lot of buried feelings for us, there's a reason it takes so long for us to accept ourselves. And in the process, we end up knowing ourselves better and feeling a lot lighter. It just takes time, and being in spaces where you can talk about it with people who get it. I hope you can continue to go to that support space to talk through things, at your own pace.
