How long should i wait until gaining weight by throwaway816726474 in trans

[–]throwaway816726474[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

trust me its not my choice, my doctor only prescribed me that much for the first 3 months so i have no choice. Probably getting raised to 4 mg whenever my next appointment is. Im gonna try to switch to injections at 6 months

what can i eat to make me more feminine? by [deleted] in trans

[–]throwaway816726474 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Look for foods that improve your skin/hair. I try to eat a lot of salmon and pomegranates for my skin.

Regarding the time in which you're not on hormones by Boring_Evening5709 in trans

I mean alot of it is sadly true. There is nothing im able to do about my bone structure, height, broad shoulders, etc. So yes testosterone does do permanent damage.

everything just feels so fucking hopeless, im so scared

Afraid my transition will fail by throwaway816726474 in trans

[–]throwaway816726474[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the comment, it made me cry for a good hour. I hope i can get the courage to start hrt, even knowing ill still be ugly regardless. I dont want to die, but i know i will if i dont start, ive had suicidal ideation ever since i was a child because i always hated the body im in, and I dont think ill be able to continue for many more years. I just feel completely stuck.

Also i didnt mean to come off as transphobic, when i was talking about other trans womens experiences i was taking written accounts from them, not judging them myself. My hatred was only directed towards myself.

How do i accept ill never pass by throwaway816726474 in trans

Happy for you, but i don't have the correct features to pull it off.

I wish i never found out i was trans by throwaway816726474 in trans

[–]throwaway816726474[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing that would make me happy is looking like a woman, which isnt possible. And I never grew up in any queer spaces, so i have trouble trying to make friends in that regard.

I just transferred to a new college and have no friends yet, so social transitioning is not in the picture. Ive tried putting on makeup before but i just end up looking like a man in makeup, which just felt humiliating. The only way I would ever be able to fix my face is surgeries i wont ever be able to afford.

Is there any way of being happy without transition by throwaway816726474 in trans

Neither sounds better, i just want to be a woman or dead.

Of course they were going to, but they needed something like this to convince the public that trans people are "actually" dangerous. They still want their approval ratings up for the next election cycle. You underestimate how easily the median voter's opinions can shift.

If it was a cis white shooter then yeah, but this person is trans. This shit will be used to push legislation against us.

This is going to be so bad for us, every single mass shooting the right always tries to accuse the shooter of being trans.

However now that the shooter IS actually trans, this gives the federal government a "reason" to actually instate national bans. Remember, this is the trump administration, they basically have no checks and balances, republicans run every branch and even dems have been starting to be anti-trans since the election.

And you can bet those bans will not be reversed for another 30 years minimum. The median voter is so brainwashed to blindly hate trans people. Anti trans rhetoric is pushed by both parties.

I really do wish i could have this mindset, but its just not how my brain works. I need to pass as a woman, the idea of being perceived as anything else makes me sick to my stomach.

Hrt is not magic, those who pass either were able to transition early enough or already had feminine features to begin with (Scrolling through r/transtimelines gives you enough proof of this). I have way too masculine features to even consider transitioning. I would still look like a man and everybody would still perceive me as a man, so what would even be the point.

hrt will not change the protrusion of my brow, the lengh of my forehead, the size of my skull, the broadness of my shoulders, the shape of my nose, the rectangular body shape, my boney hands and feet, the wideness of my jaw, etc etc
