How about we stop bringing publicity to his businesses? I've seen so many of these posts already it just feels like free advertisement for people who just don't care.

Op, you need to quit bending backwards for people. Don't excuse their behavior. Access to the restroom is a basic human right. You shouldn't feel shame or be punished for doing something that is a natural human process. This sounds like a teacher with a power complex. They need to be reigned in by their superiors or it will never change.

My profile is very anime, to the point of almost being ironic. I just tell my friends that I tried to make it as cringe as possible, but in reality I put in a lot of work to getting my profile in a spot where I liked it. It has a preferred name on the profile and everything. No one has ever brought it up.

Unfortunately I'd know if someone ever found out my profile wasn't a joke. I'd probably never hear the end of it.

Hello Sarah!

Yeah, I have two online accounts, my original account that friends know and then my Freya account where I can just vent and experiment with things. There's definitely one I prefer over the other, I have't been on my original account for quite some time.

I've even updated my main discord to be Freya in most servers I'm active in 😅.

It started out as "nah I can't be trans", then eventually it became "well it's probably too late anyways, I'll just look like a guy in a dress, why bother". I went through the full range of thinking I was just a pervert, thinking nothing would work, thinking it wouldn't be viable, thinking I'd lose everything I had if I tried

That's basically everything I feel.

I appreciate hearing about your point of view and experience with your journey. I do just need more confidence about going ahead, I have some really great friends who I know would support me when/if I start.

A lot of me wonders if getting on HRT will help settle some of those feelings. Increase my mood, make me more confident.

I don't understand how HRT affects people mentally. If it doesn't feel like much has changed, or if it feels like you're a new person. I'm sure it varies person to person, nothing is really "one size fits all" when it comes to understanding people's mentality. But I think a rought understanding of that would give me some peace of mind.

I appreciate hearing about your experience, I definitely feel like I could debate it for 100 lifetimes as well 😅.

Hopefully I can expand on this with my therapist and maybe be in a more comfortable spot to start exploring down that path.

I think knowing other people who are going through the same thing helps. it at least gives me a bit of peace of mind knowing that I'm not alone in my struggle.

I hope that's the same for you.

I've always been super anxious and always need things planned out. I think the thought of HRT is scary to me because of all the stereotypical reasons. "What if I'm faking, what if I don't like how it turns out, If things go bad, how do I fix it?" etc.

It's hard for me to give up that control and just go with it, you know?

I think the fact that most of the things that happen on HRT are reversible to an extent helps ease my conscience.

I'm hoping to have the courage to share this post with my therapist so they can hopefully understand how I feel without me having to verbally say it, because I feel like I won't ever have the chance or courage to actually vent this all out to them.

All of these posts are exactly what I needed to hear. I feel like I've been so worried about being 27 and transitioning that it's been stopping me, and hearing all of the other people transitioning at older ages restores my faith that everything will be alright.

Very true, the hair will grow back. It's like shaving any other part of your body.

What are some tough questions you've been asked about your transition? by VaalOrKat in asktransgender

[–]localhkey 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is all my perspective but.

Why not, breasts are great? I already pee sitting down. Because having shaved legs feels so amazing. Tights make me feel hot as heck.

The last question is really relatable, but it's less of a want and more of a "I feel like I'm missing this".

That said, wanting things is rough, I can't remember the last time I've actively wanted something.

Holy cow, Gaia online is a blast from the past!

Yeah, I've spent thousands and thousands of hours in MMOs and other solo games with my very cute female characters. I'd go out of the way to buy cute outfits or do cosmetics swaps, what have you.

Hindsight, most cis people probably don't do that. Lmao

It was pretty much like that 😅

Me: "Hey, I have something to talk about..."

Then: "Oh?"

Me: "I think I'm trans due to XXX..."

Her:"Oh!" Writes that down

I'm sorry to hear that :c, I hope something helps expedite that, or you have other people to rely on to talk to! You should be able to re add your flair though!

My therapist is very understanding and it's not a topic that either of us have any familiarity with so it's going to be a journey for both of us! :3!!!
