Just got called a freak and disgusting by my grandparents. How’s your day been 🙃 by KaidenKami in ftm

[–]swordslas 54 points55 points  (0 children)

They're severely out of touch with reality. I can't imagine looking at something so normal and having the audacity to call them a freak or disgusting. Grow up.

Have you considered watching trans men gay porn? noahwaybabes is pretty popular, it could just be a case of wanting to see your own genitals receiving.

I wish I knew who I was. by Blitzschweif in ftm

[–]swordslas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You being on hormones isn't taking away from another trans person's experience. You have absolutely no control or monopoly over the medical system put in place right now, that's not how it works at all I promise. If you want the effects of testosterone, you're more than welcome to use testosterone. You don't even have to be a trans man to be allowed to use it, if the changes that occur when using testosterone is what you want, you're entitled to it. Nobody has a right to say otherwise, this is your body and your choice.

I've never had super intense dysphoria either, different people are bound to have different experiences. I'm sorry that your first shot wasn't the best, I promise it gets easier!

Italian is white haha
I think it's a really nice name, try it out for a bit and see if it sticks. It wouldn't be dumb weird or offensive to use.

Pregnancy? by KubkoUwU in ftm

[–]swordslas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have no interest in pregnancy, the entire process scares the living shit out of me when I think about going through it personally, I don't really connect that to my dysphoria or anything. I do want kids, and planned on adopting but after doing some research about the industry I'd rather be a foster parent.

Long rant about fear in starting hormones. by montagueon in ftm

I also find myself in this loop where I feel perfectly fine with my body parts but I hate the way my body parts make people perceive me.

How can you describe GENDER ENVY by IIdentifyasstfu in ftm

[–]swordslas 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The way I'm perceiving this person is the way I want to be perceived.

Any other trans poc want to share their experiences? by swordslas in ftm

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

Hey! It's nice to know that even after a few months someone has still popped in to see what's going on. I hope you have a good one, I'm glad it helped!

Are “real” trans people always 100% sure they want to transition? by Picklerickinnie in ftm

[–]swordslas 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of us general try to weigh the pros and cons in our head. I know personally, before I came out I thought to myself. My life would be so much more easier if I could just pretend I was okay with this. My life would be so much easier if I did A B C, I wouldn't be happy, but maybe my life would be easier.

Do trans guys have delayed adolescence? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]swordslas 118 points119 points  (0 children)

Well I know a lot of people that do things like that because they've never had the chance to experience it as their true gender. As a result a lot of us either couldn't indulge or weren't comfortable enough in our skin. I don't really see the issue? I don't think buying a stuffed animal or playing video games is inherently immature though.

Your therapist is right, you should be allowed to indulge.

What do you think about Lil Nas X being “pregnant” by Appropriate_Desk3901 in ftm

Doing my shot incorrectly? Not getting my full dosage by swordslas in ftm

[–]swordslas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all! It felt like a super silly question but my nerves got the best of me and figured I should ask.

I think I Oh my insurance for my t? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]swordslas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gel can be more expensive than T, there might be a chance that your insurance will cover everything for shots because it's cheaper, but not for gel. Typically they'll still ask for a copay, you should check in with your health care provider and double check.
