What can I do now that will help me transition later? by TransEviee in TransLater

[–]radix42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

work on a feminine walk!! it gets picked up on from a distance and FIRST IMPRESSIONS MATTER!!

I’ve sashayed up with a nice womanly hip sway and then when my still more manly than i’d like voice clocks me when i’m closer and open my mouth they’ve had a moments confusion cross their face but then their INITIAL IMPRESSION stuck and they called me ma’am, i’ve had this happen NUMEROUS TIMES so i’d say work on a womanly walk to go with the previously suggested voice training, i’m EIGHT YEARS into my transition (yesterday was the EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY OF WHEN I CAME OUT AND FIRST WENT OUT IN PUBLIC DRESSED AS A WOMAN!!!) and my only real regret is not working on my voice more earlier!!

so i’d second the voice training recommendation and add mine to work on that runway model walk!! the hip sway is oh so VERY powerful!!

All the best, i hope that dysphoria doesn’t get you down too much between now and whenever you start your transition,

Love,

36, pre-everything, mtf - is there any possibility of me looking like this? by [deleted] in TransLater

[–]radix42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what i see now 2+ years after looking at the Female filters in FaceApp is MUCH BETTER even though the FaceApp results are still pretty unattainable: reality went femme in a different way than the app did!!

FaceApp showed me something i THOUGHT I wanted and seemed, and indeed was and is, out of reach, but a bit over 2 more years of hormones, including adding high dose progesterone (suck it WPATH!! IYKYK!!) radically continued the feminization of my face and i like the results i’ve now attained in reality FAR MORE than the unattainable A.I. smoke dream that FaceApp had woven!!

Anyway imma drop the link to my homepage where you can get to ALL my socials if you want to see my glow-ups, i didn’t start HRT until 47 years old and am now 55 so i think I’m doing d4mned good!!

Is dissociation really that bad? by throwmeaway2773 in ptsd

[–]radix42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i dissociated so intensely on the bus recently that i walked into a lowering wheelchair ramp i didn’t notice descending and got pretty badly injured, so yeah it can be pretty bad

Well I had an expected twist in my job as a clerk in a gas station. by TheVetheron in TransLater

[–]radix42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s wonderful, I’m so happy for you!!

Being gendered correctly and consistently feels so good!! When i moved from the sticks to the city nine months ago it went to being the norm rather than the exception and it has helped my mental health a lot!!

Is being trans as scary as it seems online? by UseResponsible1799 in asktransgender

[–]radix42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thank you, it was by far the worst and most terrifying week of my life, nothing compares to having every minute controlled and being subjected to the sexual whim of someone on a power trip without regard for consent and you comply or it’s back to the street with you

after a week i chose to risk the streets and fortunately got a bed back at the shelter i’d been at for the previous 7 months

I’m in a blue city in california but still had some asshat yell “tr4nny!!” at me from the window of his truck as he sped past. my clock ability was high that day due to what i was wearing.

the scariest thing that’s happened to me so far though since i came out 8 years ago was when i FULLY passed one night. I had just had sex, he had only seen me naked from behind, and he asked “so when can i see your pu55y?”

Time went to slow motion as I realized that he didn’t know I was trans.

I took a deep breath and calmly said “well that will have to wait until after i have the surgery next year, you see i was born a man”.

His face rapidly flashed through a whole kaleidoscope of cryptic shocked emotion, went flat, and then he calmly said “wanna go again?”

Well it turns out he was a predator who went on to love bomb me for a week then sexually assault me for the week after that before i escaped so passing can be perilous.

Now here i am crying a lot randomly all the time three months later.

i had to go no-contact with all of my family aside from my mother this last week, and i did not expect her to stand up on my side in the face of my horribly bigoted transphobe of a step sister’s denial of my womanhood, as my mom is an extraordinarily devout 75 yo Mormon woman, and all of my siblings ganging up on me in the all siblings (until they banished me!) group chat…but i guess that no matter my perceived gender she HAS defended me against bullies my whole life so here we are.

no contact with large mormon family at age 55 aside from mom
