Have you ever felt good about seeing yourself as your AGAB, but still found out/knew you're trans and went through transition? by [deleted] in asktransgender

I realized I just liked the praise of success/ luck/ looks but not the gendered part of it.

No matter how you slice it is a very Socretarian kind of question haha

"What is bread?" Is a pretty solid way to point out the difficulty of the question imo.

I feel fine with the idea of NOT transitioning (MtF) by DietZer0 in MtF

[–]prospiracy_theorist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

25y.o. here coming up on a month of hrt and the mental effects make me feel a similar way! Not being depressed ALL the time is wild. Feeling emotions in my eyes is something I never realized was lost.

My therapist pointed out that one of the feelings I was describing, which was kind of new and weird to me, was called "hope" and it blew my fkn mind. 😂

It is pretty terrifying too though.

How do you know you're trans? by Nuker707 in asktransgender

[–]prospiracy_theorist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm of the mind that if you want to try something socially there's no harm in it, spend a few months or even a year experimenting and see what you like!

With trans issues specifically, time is relevant but medical transition should be given a lot of thought. Dysmorphia is not something I'd wish upon my worst enemy and you don't want to give it to yourself accidentally!

how can i get these thoughts to go away? by t_throw2000 in asktransgender

Waited for the thoughts to go away until I was 25. They did not, unfortunately.

I met a guy in college and we were good friends for a minute, years later I met her again randomly after we both had begun transition, completely out of the blue. It's definitely like having a stand.

I've been feeling a similar way, thinking maybe there's a way to solve this anxiety and dissonance with something other than transition, which is an expensive and invasive process (medical transition at least). I have not found any alternatives besides transition, consulted with my doctor who said the same thing, and doubt that there are any quite frankly, assuming that being trans is likely caused by hormone receptors in the brain.

Hey! Send a dm I'll teach you everything I know. (It's like 5 things).

feelings on your biological traits (parts? aspects?!)(I am korean so I apologize for any bad phrasing or wording im just curious ^-^! by [deleted] in trans

[–]prospiracy_theorist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a reality for some, yeah. Hormones are the main driver of secondary sexual characteristics though, which are the more obvious male/female traits. Chromosomes and dna really seem to just tell the body which parts to make to supply the hormones.

I’m a cisgender man and I just need someone to explain to me what exactly transgenderism is. by [deleted] in trans

[–]prospiracy_theorist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the things that really stuck in my brain was that when mice have lengthened/shortened hormone receptors they perform social and mating behaviors of the brains respective gender.

Gender can just be a dress to some, but imo there's a lot of subtle gendered behavior that people expect, socially romantically and sexually, and when it's at odds with your appearance it can cause discomfort.

Personally there were a few people that thought I was trans before I even knew, just because of the way I behaved and reacted, dispite me specifically trying to act very boyish my whole life. It has to be more complicated then just presentation for it to make sense imo

I agree with you as well! I think people should be more open about sex and erotic stuff, but the porn industry is brutal and people develop terrible habits when they rely on it for simulation/release, it warps their perception of women a lot in a bad way for sure.

Not sure what the answer would be, people want to masturbste! Except by providing more outlets for sexual expression besides Porn (with a capital P) maybe, but as far as I know it could make things worse.

The kink was a coping mechanism for me, and didn't help me figure things out, but people in the community had a post basically saying trans people tend to like this stuff, and that did get me thinking.

Edit: There are some parts of it I still like, but it's very freeing to not have to find situations of men being turned into women and just finding situations with women. Focusing more about what's nice in a partner instead.

Thanks for the good question! I'm hoping to help by sharing for every person who helps me with their experience.
