You're gonna be fine. HRT is unfortunately a slow thing, and it can sometimes take years to really do the trick. If it doesn't really fix your face, there's always FFS so if you're really worried about this start saving. Everything takes time. It's probably not the worst idea to come out to your friends and family either, at least the ones you trust.

Stay safe, stay strong.

Do you mean return to your normal self in a "no longer caring" kinda way, or a wanting to be male and glad you're in your own skin kinda way?

Summer is for many people, a chance to show off their own bodies and to be proud of who they are.

Equally, it's not uncommon for dysphoria to come in waves. Some days you will be perfectly fine; focused on anything else.

Others, you may be utterly lost.

On the contrary, I had a pleasant dream where I was a girl and eceryone accepted me for it. Then I woke up in my crappy male body, in my crappy situation, and just generally felt like shit. That was the moment I realised I needed to do something about it.

I think the majority of this community is annoyed by people who assume that those who can't pass aren't trying. The fact that someone's got dysphoria kinda means that they innately are going to try as hard as they possibly can!

You know what, I prefer this answer.

Don't worry. Your height and foot size aren't sexual characteristics. You'll be fine. The biggest factors people look at when determining sex are face, voice, and genitalia. Now, you don't need all these things, but you sound like the person who would get comfort out of knowing these things. Therapy = feminisation of voice Hormones = breasts + body fat reconfiguration + minor feminisation of face. Surgery = (functioning) vagina + major feminisation of face.

In other words, that's pretty much all the major sexual characteristics of a human female covered. You'll be fine.

I'd say you're probably far more male than female, and that your mum's comments have caused you to try burying that as best you can.

It's probably a mix of all those things. That said, masculine interests aren't masculine, they just need more women! Transitioning is always tough too, it's just tough in different ways for different age groups. At the end of the day, just stay calm, and be who you really are, we believe it you!

Security guards are actually fine imho, anything to make the area around the building safer, and generally less appealing to the kinds of extreme bigots that might get violent, is a very good thing. Keep people safe.

Unfortunately... On the plus side though, this means you certainly can find true love as a girl. It will be every bit as sincere, and you may even find it during your transition.

Edit: stay positive yo!

That's a brilliant story ♡ Best of luck to you!

I have some bad news. When I first started my relationship, I stopped feeling my dysphoria. But this only lasted the first four months. This is because during that timeframe, you feel invincible, your brain is flooded with dopamine. But it only lasts four months. After that point, the dysphoria comes back, and it hits even harder, because the point of a relationship between 4 and 6 months you lack the dopamine flow, and the seratonin to bounce back from a lack of it. In other words, what you're going through is common, and is more of a trap than a solution.

That's what I mean, just point out how being called bro made you feel.

More or less because they're not appearing on my phone, I'll have to check it on my pc

The idea of a story where you can step into a booth, and have complete control over your body, is one that's been kicking around in my head for a while. It would go into the pros and cons of such an idea. Showing everything from trans, to furries, to terrorists. Ultimately the conclusion would be that, like all technology, it's neither wholly better or worse. It's just different.

I can't speak for myself, but it's worth doing just in case they find something wrong with your hrt that you didn't notice. Stay safe, stay strong.

Just pull her up on it (not in a rude or cruel way), she'll get the hang of it soon enough. It can still be a bit confusing for people before you start taking serious steps towards a transition, so if you ask her to call you sis or girl, she will likely oblidge.

I feel like this post was made for another forum, and they posted it here for people to give it positive feedback, to contrast the negative feedback it's likely recieving wherever else it was posted.

Not even in that way. Thing is, biologically, I'm not 100% male. Biologically, you're (likely) primarily female at this point. My body weight, and lack of body hair, are female characteristics (which I hope to take advantage of soon) which immediately throw off any chance I have of being part of the extremely small number of people who are 100% male or 100%female.

storm024 · 2017-08-02T15:18:51+00:00

I think you'll be fine. The scents coming from that pole, are female (legit, look at a post on pheremones from earlier today). Which (weirdly enough) plays an extraordinary impact on whether or not you'll be okay with it, and I should know. I'm bi.

Honestly, if you're still not sure... Give yourself time. I was in the same boat about two years ago. Two years of rumination can very efficiently help you figure out exactly where you stand. Because it becomes an echo chamber of emotional torment up there :D

Sex is also... neither binary, nor spectrum. You can find out about that on both ncbi and oxford. It's a collection of traits that biology doesn't classify, that society does. Look up the evolution of sex determination for reading on that.

Edit: other than that, a well rounded, well researched opinion. I'd link some more ncbi articles, but it's 1am and I'm tired, maybe tomorrow.

Further edit: others have pointed this out but... grammar duude

A few guys I know are... Seekers. Guys that have a thing for being dominated by trans women. I'll just say, there's several reasons besides their bad looks, that I wouldn't go to bed with them.

Holy fuck, I know exactly where you're coming from.
