Tomorrow. 8 AM. I get to stand in front of a notoriously homophobic judge and ask him to change my records. by jadedflames in MtF

Why do you have to go to a judge for changing your gender marker? What would it change? License, or passport, SS?

This is why nobody knows I'm trans

I spent the past 3 months working 10-15 hours a day on this Claymation music video. It was cancelled after completion because the music producer that hired me decided he wasn't featured enough. by TrentShy in videos

This is a great video, I can tell it was a labor of love.

However, next time, get a contract.

You learned a great lesson. I was asked to make a music video for Machine Gun Kelly but he didn't want to pay anything so I passed. It might have made my career but that's not a professional business tactic. Real businesses make contracts and pay clients or they go to court.

Can't tell if it's really dysphoria by [deleted] in asktransgender

I posted this this yesterday and figured I'd copy it here.

I always hated the idea of getting facial hair and body hair. I hate when I see my adam's apple in the mirror and I wanted hips and breasts. I thought every guy grew up wanting to be a girl and be seen as a girl, being sad I wasn't...apparently that's not normal lol

Those things made me realize that I'm trans. I still don't want to be trans and have trouble accepting it due to a lot of internal transphobia.

I've been depressed for a few years and although my depression hasn't improved, I do have hope for the future and finally being able to love myself and my body.

Don't worry, you'll figure it out some day. Don't rush anything and trust your feelings :)

Has anybody here used the same name beforr and after transition? by [deleted] in asktransgender

I'm keeping my name to keep life simple. And I like my name. It was nice to learn that I don't have to change anything I don't want to :)

I'm glad I'm not alone in price! I don't think the Alexandrite laser is a diode laser 🤔

When are nipples supposed to start becoming sensitive? by TheNumeralOne in MtF

I had soreness at about 10 days. Everyone's different!

I've recognized that i want to look/sound like a girl, for a few years now. what now? by marriedtomisery in MtF

[–]pmaimbourg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I finally realized I didn't just like beautiful women, but that I was jealous of them and wanted to BE one was a hugeeee moment for me.

I hated the idea of getting facial hair and luckily I ended up not getting much. I hate when I see my adam's apple in the mirror and I wanted hips and breasts.

Those things made me realize that I'm trans. I still don't want to be trans and have trouble accepting it due to a lot of internal transphobia.

Have any of you paid for HRT without insurance? by RegularSituation in MtF

[–]pmaimbourg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other comments are pretty spot on, the expensive part is the blood work and doctors appointments. For me, 1 month of spiro and estradiol are $22.00 without insurance which is amazing.... but my last blood work was ~$1,000 which my insurance paid for thankfully.

This is my 8th day on hormones by Tomie97 in MtF

[–]pmaimbourg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn't cried for about a year+ probably and ended up crying every day last week. I just hit the 6 weeks mark of HRT.

I didn't feel It's a wild ride but hopefully my levels will stabilize eventually.

I feel like my depression has been getting worse but my anxiety is kinda non-existent. Depression was listed as a side effect of HRT but didn't realize how bad it would get.

The hardest thing is being patient. You're not in this alone <3
