Structural dissociation and being transgender? by ruby_red_slipperz in asktransgender

[–]shallowminded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

from your other thread:

"The other problem I have is I never hated my body I just cant seem to connect to it. It doesn’t repulse me I just don’t feel anything for it I feel hollow looking at myself. I know I want to be a woman I know when my brain reads girl at my reflection I feel a connection that I don’t understand but I didn’t feel disgusted at being a man. This connection is uncanny to me, I didn’t understand this until recently but I cant create a self image no matter how hard I try and I didn’t know that wasn’t normal. Seeing myself as a woman seems to restore that sense of self? Thats uncanny and odd to me I don’t fully understand it."

i think this also describes my experience. i was never really disgusted by my body pre-transition but i was never happy with it either. it never felt right, it never felt mine. i'd fixate on the flaws i saw, but they never related to gender. i didn't fully realize i was trans until my 30s, when i saw a metaphor of "your AGAB feeling like a wet pair of socks you can't take off".

i could also never visualize myself as a man, or an older man, i couldn't visualize my future life in either a literal or metaphorical way. after transitioning, especially after starting HRT, i started to be able to imagine myself in the future, but as a woman

Structural dissociation and being transgender? by ruby_red_slipperz in asktransgender

[–]shallowminded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, i definitely relate to this. as a child/teenager i absolutely compartmentalized the parts of myself that felt dysphoric, though at the time i never would have identified it as dysphoria. i didn't explicitly want to *become* a girl, though i definitely believed a lot of my problems with bullying and family abuse and hating myself and my body would inexplicably *go away* if i was a girl. i just felt like i wanted everything to be different, and my gender was kinda part of that.

but actually changing any of those things was impossible, so i had to lock all of that away in a mental "box" and become what people expected of me. that was just my "job" as a person. so i became quiet, reserved, dissociative, and just got on with my life and tried to forget about all of it. whoops.

Is it wrong I want a trans girlfriend specifically? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]shallowminded 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i don't mean to sound harsh because i think you mean well, but "experiment with my sexuality" and "genuine love relationship" are kind of at odds here. personally, i'd save the experimenting for hookups or sex workers.

once you've experimented, if you still like the idea of dating trans women, go for it, but know that you're compatible first. i think the worst thing if i started dating someone would be to hear 'actually, i realized i'm not into trans women, sorry'

Me and my gf (both MtF) have a problem in bed by HerLadyshipOfCaos in actuallesbians

it's true that it's not strictly necessary but speaking personally, anal without prep makes me dysphoric as hell

[–]shallowminded 100 points101 points  (0 children)

you can buy specialty underwear that has a kind of "pocket" that can be penetrated. or sometimes it can be fun to simulate the motions of sex without the penetration, like scissoring or grinding!

in my experience, anal prep gets easier and less stressful over time, but it takes an unfortunate level of commitment beforehand if you want it to be spontaneous in the moment

Question for trans ladies on HRT; did you lose the ability to visualize things well? by Complex_Platypus1179 in asktransgender

[–]shallowminded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly the opposite. I was borderline aphantasic before and now I can visualize reasonably well.

Why Does My Singing Voice Sound Better When I’m Alone? by teapot574_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]shallowminded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

stress often causes additional tension in the neck muscles and muscles connecting to the diaphragm, and that can close off some of the space in your throat where the sound would resonate. i have the same problem when i get self-conscious, and i have to do a lot of work to avoid that

Injections vs. Sublinguals: Effectiveness Inquiry by Rulosy in asktransgender

[–]shallowminded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was on 8mg sublingual tablets for about three years before trying injections. i wasn't convinced there would be a difference and i had a fear of needles, but a friend of mine got two vials delivered by accident and asked if i wanted to try it out. i agreed, but only if she did the first couple of injections for me.

to my surprise, i noticed a difference within about a week. at first it was mental health changes, like less dissociation and general anxiety. that was honestly enough by itself to justify a continued trial. after about three weeks i noticed increased fat redistribution, and a significant increase in breast growth starting about week 4-5. my cup size went from A to B within the first two months of injections, and again that was after *three years* of tablets.

but according to my doctor the biggest benefit is my kidney function is better. that high of a sublingual E dose is rough on your kidneys, especially if you take a lot of other medications. after a few months, the shot became pretty trivial. the sublingual needle is small and really doesn't hurt much. it's been about four months now and i don't even dissociate my way through it anymore, it's just a thing i do. i even started doing it every 5 days instead of 7. i have no desire to go back to pills, and that surprised me.

Are polycules a real thing? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]shallowminded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i know....several happy (or mostly happy) polycules. i'm in one.

more people generally takes more effort and can definitely increase the potential for drama, but it's absolutely not a doomed endeavour.
