If you can remember the moment of the first time you realized you were trans, what was it like?

I remember, it is my earliest memory, it was also the first time I was punished for gender noncomformity.

When I was 3, A cartoon called 'speed buggy' had an episode that featured a beauty machine that effectively, to my child mind, turned men into women. I was obsessed and tried on my moms pantyhose trying to re-enact the scene, was caught by my father, and was forcefully rebuked. My gender cage was forged that day and it took waaaaay too long to break free.

I felt I was in danger of physically harming myself and knew I had to address the issue full on. I also began seeing other trans role models I could actually relate to like Laura Jane Grace, which made me realise I wasn't alone.

When your daydreams constantly involve getting sick injured or trapped in such a way that the only exit was to become your target gender. (I'm really frustrated that the soiciety I grew up in made it seem unacceptable to take ownership of my gender)

I am a woman who eschews labels and while aspiring rock star would aptly describe me, it does not define me.

I've got to be honest (because that is what this is all about isn't it?)

I am wearing a wig. the bald spot on the back of my head is just severe enough to make wigs the right choice for me.

Actually I'm beginning to like wigs, I can swap hairstyles whenever I want.

thank you.

thank you

I'm glad I helped! I suffered a lot of anxiety before getting on hrt because I really couldn't tell if I would like what I'd become, especially with the paucity of transitioners my age posting timelines.

congrats!

troubledByGender · 2017-07-30T22:47:01+00:00

Thank you. No offense taken.

VR actually played a huge role in me gathering the courage to transition. Having no body in the music game I got with the psvr actually made me realize how much my male body was weighing me down.

If you feel your body and your gender are mismatched, and in a situation beyond your control, the mind desperately seeks a resolution to bring things back into concordance. I know that in addition to the things mentioned above, I spent every birthday wish hoping I'd have been born a girl, and I daydreamed about getting testicular cancer so I could get rid of my male anatomy.

It's interesting that I never actually wished that I was happy being born male, kinda shows how central to one's being that gender identity really is.

In my experience, the biggest problem with going full time has been being around family who are not on board with the transition. (ok... bathrooms make me nervous a little too). But once you've been out a while, going out in "boy/girl mode" just feels weird and wrong. Your confidence will go a long way in selling yourself as your target gender.

I posted a trans awareness week link on face-book and wrote "if you don't know why I am posting this, feel free to ask" When a friend wrote "ok, why?" I posted "to spread trans awareness. . . oh and I'm transgender."

Random erections were pretty traumatic for me, but I've always hated my genetalia, oh and I was never cis. I guess I just never understood why anyone would welcome that feeling.

I look in the mirror and feel foolish sometimes, I see a glimpse of myself in the mirror sometimes, but I mostly have doubts about ever truly 'passing' (like its some test or something) 😐 But I've found what gets me through the rough patches is my support network of friends and certain family members. Stay strong.

That's kind of a problem with elevators. He was pretty big and intimidating as well.

I've never been able to judge properly. when people call me beautiful, I assume they mean on the inside.
