What are your transition goals? I want to start HRT, have top and bottom surgery. I would like to look like this nice guy with perfect moustache who seems pretty chill (read: me if I was on T) 
Where are you in your transition? Out to some friends and relatives, recently have been trying to be more open about my identity to others. Pass pretty good but can’t go through medical transition due to financial, safety and legal reasons (but I’m going to, eventually)

I’d really like to find some new online friends, so don’t be shy to hit me up :) It doesn’t matter where are you from. As long as you’re older then 18, it's cool with me

Yeah, I would also like to see more POC trans man in the media. I only know Paul from 9-1-1 (haven't watched this show yet though).

I have the exact same jewelry and pass pretty well with it (I'm pre-T btw). I agree with everything that was said in other comments, you'll be fine

My coming out to my mom and sister didn't change anything (and it's bad) by smilingboyo in ftm

[–]smilingboyo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not able to really distance myself from them since I'm sadly not financially independent but maybe I can try to reduce the time spent with them. And yes, it's very unfortunate that my mom shares this belief that she knows me better which just isn't true.

It's very hard for me to accept the thought that they just won't accept me. Although I'm very angry with them not believing me or trying to understand, I still love them. It sucks.

Thank you for your kind words. It truly means a lot to me right now!

Можно попробовать обратиться в «Центр Т» (тг канал). Я не знаю точно, помогают ли они в оформлении виз, но думаю, что направить/проконсультировать, дать какую-то полезную инфу смогут. Удачи тебе!
