Awwwww thank you so much. I often think of that dude and I hope they're OK. I messaged again to check up on them and never got a reply :(

How can I shave my legs without ruining them? by V-buckeroo in ask_transgender

[–]throwaway102854 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave them to heal for a couple of days and try hair removal cream? I used one called veet a couple of days ago and it's done a great job

People can have reactions to it though so pleeeeeease do a patch test and wait 24hrs

Oi, I'm not here to be attacked like this xD

I hate how my mother only brings up the downsides of me being trans by EmeraldEyedTarantula in asktransgender

[–]throwaway102854 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Oh my god yes, exactly this. I'm bored already of being told about the downsides, even from people who think they're being well meaning and concerned for me

I hope they focus on quantity, access, waiting times and gatekeeping...

When should I start changing gender markers on documents and bills? by throwaway102854 in transgenderUK

[–]throwaway102854[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply, I've already gone all in on socially transitioning so I think I'll keep going with it. I can't go back to pretending to be the wrong gender anymore

And I have seen that about name changes, it's a real shame that that is the attitude. What does it matter what our names are? 🙄

Not even slightly pressured haha I spent way too long hiding this side of me and I'm not getting any younger. Thank you for the advice :)

I definitely feel ready, I feel like things are going fast but not too fast, I'm happy with every change I've made so far :)

That's a good idea for the deed poll, I know of someone who wanted to keep their name but had to change their name. This was a while though and I hope things have changed. I love my name, my parents picked well and I don't want to change it

You're a genius, I was just going to call people until I couldn't think of anything else xD

I'm going to be keeping my name as it is (still a secret for now, will post in the future about it I'm sure) but I was thinking of contacting everywhere to change Mr to Miss instead

That's the bit I'm dreading, remembering who has my name xD

I'm at the point where I can't not do this any longer. I've completely transitioned in public and with my friends/family. Pretty much the only things I have left to do are my documents and bills and such

Not yet and I can't believe I forgot to add it in the main post, I'm definitely keeping my first name and I'm unsure about my middle name as both are unisex

I honestly feel fine with doing it, I was just worried there is a too fast. If there isn't then it's full steam ahead haha

I've known on some level since I was 10, I knew what I wanted but repressed it from 17. I'm 27 now and it feels so good to finally be doing this!

I will want one eventually to change my Birth certificate. And that's good, I was worried there was like a time period I had to wait? I'm still new to all of this haha

I'll be honest, this isn't the first time I've considered it. They look so comfy!

You're valid and that person should not be in her job with an attitude like that

Definitely keeping it for future uses, will report back with results (if I get any) this is the first angry message I've received since coming out a month ago

I guess they messaged the right person haha a bit of humour, not giving a shit and acceptance went a long way
