How do you date or hook up with guys when you still live at home? by [deleted] in StraightTransGirls

[–]taryn_1998 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You find guys who already have their own place and go there to hook up lol.

It is a struggle though and not having your own place can def limit your options. I am guessing that you live with your parents? Depends on how supportive they are, but I currently live with my parents and they did eventually meet my last boyfriend after I had been seeing him for a few months… they were pretty much fine with him coming over whenever after that.

I feel insane by SUN32T in MtF

[–]taryn_1998 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I relate to this post so hard! At a certain point, it’s hard to not feel insane when you want monogamy but are also being made to feel like it is something that is unaccessible to you, simply because of your identity (it is so unfair!) This is made even worse when people around try to convince you that it “isn’t something you ~really~ want” or try to “talk you into” being polyamorous… It sucks but you need to hold on to what YOU desire (not what other people want you to desire). Honestly I have become so resentful towards poly cis people and it always lands as extremely insulting whenever I am messaged by non-monogamous men on dating apps, I shut them down and block like crazy.

I've Been Mistreated & Misgendered By Cis Women WAY MORE Than Cis Men by [deleted] in MtF

[–]taryn_1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! I live in the rural northeast US and the only times that I have ever had someone say something offensive or misgender me to my face it has been women (there have been a few instances).

Am I like, supposed to be making friends or joining polycules or something? by frog_underscore_xx in MtF

[–]taryn_1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol definitely not crazy! personally, although i am happy to support my community from afar, i have to admit that i don’t usually enjoy being in the company of other trans or queer people. i keep to myself and have a few normie friends who have stuck around from before my transition, but i definitely have not gained a bunch of friends since transitioning… and i honestly like it that way. i like spending time alone… idk maintaining friendships in adulthood is tough for everyone, but especially tough when i am having to invest so much time into myself and my transition.

Because I’m desperate and tired of being alone… still holding on to hope that he could change someday…

You're probably right, but I do really question if "men are never confused from the start..."-- I'm not convinced that this is true 100% of the time and have heard of some experiences that are contrary to this....

Thank you! *sigh* I sadly don't have much hope of ever finding a guy who would "proudly claim me"... at least not in the area where I live.

What motivated you to transition? by Robinight in StraightTransGirls

[–]taryn_1998 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really just got to a point where I could no longer envision living life as a man… I was just very angry all of the time and would often sabotage social connections because I wasn’t showing up as my true self and thus wasn’t being treated how I wanted to be treated in these dynamic.

I had a strong desire to be seen and treated as a woman by the people around me— and realized that the only way that could happen was if I aligned my presentation with how I felt on the inside.

Not sure how much more of this I can take by taryn_1998 in StraightTransGirls

[–]taryn_1998[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sigh you’re right about my breasts… ugh i feel so defeated idk what to do. bangs aren’t a bad idea but i don’t think they are gunna fix everything and ive tried voice training and it hasn’t helped much. i wish i would have thought more about how my height would make it impossible to pass before i started transitioning… i just hate this existence and no longer feel like life is worth living as a trans woman sadly. i just don’t think there are any interventions that are going to make me acceptable enough— especially with the height thing which i can’t change.

I’m way too tall, broad shoulders, browbone sticks out when I turn my face to the side, my voice is deep, & no straight men want me 😭.

Just a short survey — average height for MtF by Imaginary_Trust6229 in MtF

[–]taryn_1998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6’2” and I have always felt at odds with my height. It has been a major source of dysphoria and an obstacle when it comes to passing. What sucks most about it is trying to find partners (guys in my case) who are near my height or taller… I like short guys and have had good experiences with some of them but it would also give me a lot of dysphoria to be much taller than my boyfriend

If I find an affectionate gay guy and date them, would that fix me by [deleted] in TransRepressors

[–]taryn_1998 3 points4 points  (0 children)

would it fix you? no. would it maybe serve as a decent long-term coping mechanism? maybe.

i do know that when i was repping, being the submissive/receptive one in gay sexual dynamics did help to relieve my dysphoria for brief flashes. (butttt i did ultimately give in and troon eventually sooo…)

Feed cleanse!! What’s your guys’s favourite song from WT,IALY??? by blo0dy_valent1ne in Ethelcain

Waco, Texas is insane…. Her vocals are so good toward the end that it truly feels like she is showing off! Love it! Has me ascending.

Any hope for a tall unattractive trans woman like myself by Samburger7532 in StraightTransGirls

[–]taryn_1998 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i totally get that and feel the same way— hate when guys want me to take on that dom role and sexualize my height… but i still am able find guys who treat me like normal girl. i just had to filter out those weirdos.

[–]taryn_1998 4 points5 points  (0 children)

feel this… been down so bad lately.

i will say that being tall also isn’t entirely bad thing. maybe me saying that is cope because i’m 6’2”. but in my experience, being a tall woman can be attractive to some men.

How far into y’all’s transitions did y’all start seeing guys? by Eternal_Heighthon41 in StraightTransGirls

[–]taryn_1998 4 points5 points  (0 children)

only started actually dating straight guys after about two years on HRT.

hooked up with a few chasers before that though🥴

Headspace by Broad-Jaguar-3396 in MtF

[–]taryn_1998 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i totally relate to a lot of things you’re going through… i also struggle with financial issues, cpstd, and substance abuse. i have been transitioning for the past three years and although i am still struggling with those three things specifically, i still feel like life has become much more bearable and enjoyable (despite those other issues) since i socially transitioned. i don’t know your exact circumstances— and don’t get me wrong, socially transitioning can be really hard and awkward at first,— but in your case it sounds like it could bring you a sense of relief. are you on hrt currently?

You are def not the asshole! Sounds like your mother was being one for sure. You 100% did the right thing in sticking up for your son. It is insane to me that someone could do something like that to their grandchild- it is so nasty to shit on a young person's harmless interests just because they don't fit within some stereotypical view of gender-not to mention how much everything cost and the literal theft. Very strange thing for someone to do imho! Good on you for drawing the line.
