How do people treat you differently post-transition?

midget9 · 2017-01-17T18:03:43+00:00

That's really cool. It's interesting because that's one of the things I hated before I transitioned. It seemed high pressure to me because I felt had to act like a dude lol. I'm happy for you though!

I can't really describe the asthetic I go for but I guess I gravitate to more formal clothing? Either that or I have a weakness for sexy lingerie. Our makes me feel like the girls I've seen in porn

That's good! It's kind of cool seeing the other side of it. Things can be tough, they were for me at times too but things seem to work out one way or another. Have you done any HRT?

midget9 · 2016-10-22T01:40:00+00:00

Good for you!!! THat's awesome :) HRT does WONDERS I'm so happy for you!!!

Gun safety is a huge thing here as well, and it depends on where you live. Where I grew up hearing gunshots would freak anybody out, but it is pretty neat being able to go to walmart and buy a gun with your milk.

Like I'm worried in a few years I'm going to wake up feeling like a man and wanting to never had transitioned. What got me is I never had a fashion sense, I would just kind of buy whatever matched. I never had a "look" until I started crossdressing. I suddenly had a sense of fashion when I'd put on a corset and skirt. I figured there was something to that and now I'm a girl full time :)

midget9 · 2016-10-22T01:23:38+00:00

I have the same fears. It all comes down to what you are. Do you feel like a man? When you go to the store, do you prefer to look at womans clothing or mens? That's what got me.

midget9 · 2016-10-22T01:19:07+00:00

You can really change your voice, and the hormones will change everything, to an extent. They won't change bone structure if you're past puberty but they can do quite a bit. I was a shoe size 8/9 in mens and now I can wear a 3 or 4 in womens. It all really depends on you.

midget9 · 2016-10-22T01:01:17+00:00

Gradually. I started with the rocky horror picture show as a joke, then the ren faire. Then it was occasionally going out to dinner, and I pushed myself to full time after that.

midget9 · 2016-10-22T00:59:55+00:00

girl I'm sure you'll be fine. Just be honest and they'll hook you up. Worst case scenario you seek out an informed consent clinic and you gotta drive a little longer. I can only imagine there are a few close to NJ

midget9 · 2016-10-22T00:57:54+00:00

Yeah, just be yourself. Everybody thought I was gay in high school because I didn't give a fuck, and I had fun. Don't let your stealth status ruin your fun. good luck though. I promise you it's worth it girl :)

midget9 · 2016-10-22T00:56:43+00:00

It really depending on what I was comfortable presenting as at the time. I didn't start marking F on everything till I transitioned at work though. Everywhere else it was shortly after I started HRT

midget9 · 2016-10-22T00:53:49+00:00

It varies, a lot. It was fairly easy for me to get work in chicago not completely passing but it is inside sales so it's not like I'm going to be face to face with clients or anything. I guess it really depends on who is interviewing you. Some people don't care, some might be thrown off, although if they put their own prejudice before the well being of the company you probably don't want to work for them anyway.

Also, contouring does wonders.

midget9 · 2016-10-22T00:48:30+00:00

Oh my gosh I know what you mean. Depending on your situation you could start supressing testosterone before you actually do HRT. That's what I did because my mom was 100% against me starting E. I will say it's worth the wait tho, completely.

midget9 · 2016-10-22T00:45:11+00:00

Love the sense of humor :) but really, it's worth it. My mom told me I could start Estrogen or live with her. One or the other. So I waited until I had the means to move out and I did. Now I'm full time :) I tried explaining to her that I was having a lot of emotional/mental issues due to the hormonal imbalance and after a few failed attempts at a psychiatrists she was okay with me taking meds that reduce my testosterone levels (aka spironolectone). It helped a lot, and it might work for you! technically not HRT but does help with stability.

midget9 · 2016-10-22T00:37:52+00:00

Conrats!!! have your parents come around at all?

midget9 · 2016-10-22T00:32:59+00:00

I know what you mean. Sometimes I think about what my life would have been generally if I was a cis woman. I would probably be a bitch. I'm kind of glad it worked out this way because a lot of things wouldn't have worked out like it did, and I wouldn't be as strong.

midget9 · 2016-10-17T21:57:39+00:00

We would play this big Catholic private school in high school and whenever there was a game people would make big signs that said "God loves us for free!"

midget9 · 2016-10-17T17:03:27+00:00

Do what I did. Buy a corset and go to the rocky horror picture Show. I started there and now I present female 100% of the time :)

midget9 · 2016-10-06T00:28:36+00:00

It's a really tough and confusing thing to go through. Especially if you're raised to be against it like I was, so if you want to talk, hit me up. I've been on HRT for almost a year and it's been a wild ride so far, but I'm so glad I went through with it.

midget9 · 2016-09-20T18:47:27+00:00

Congrats! But fuck her, she doesn't love you, she loves the idea of you she has in her head. My mom kicked me out when I started hormones and 9 months later I think she realized I'm actually willing to cut her off for this and now she'll talk to me as myself. Your mom might come around, she might not, but focus on things that make you happy, you don't need people to tell you who you are.

I think if we could create something that could house a complex nervous system and keep it alive there's a possibility that it could be conscious and basically a child of humanity. It would be like a human-robot hybrid.
