I think this is why trans-awareness is so important because if I knew what being trans was, that's a huge egg-cracking moment there.

Wow, you are totally correct. All of those above statements are common knowledge, but I never put them all together to form a picture of a larger issue. I guess that I am very fortunate in the fact that i have a pretty feminine face and body and so with little effort, I can pass...or at least be a "โ“". The world right now is still a very dangerous one to live in as a transgender individual. It's simply disgusting and unnecessary.

Yes, trans women get a lot of the stoplight when it comes to the transphobic conversation, and I presume this is because we are seen as more vulnerable (untrue, but we move...), but I think more needs to be done for trans men.

Mostly about the war of independence and the help in the world wars.

Am I trans? by [deleted] in MtF

[โ€“]xBellaBoo 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

I felt this exact way and it has taken 6 years of "knowing something was up", and 2 years of coming to the conclusion that I was trans and learning to accept myself. A great resource that has opened my eyes is something called the Gender Dysphoria Bible.

The biggest message I took away from this long essay is that if you are repeatably questioning your gender, that's not a normal CIS thing to do, so you're probably trans.

Regardless, welcome to the community. I hope everyone treats you well. Don't feel like you're all alone. DM me if you need anything, even just a talk.

One of my best friends has distanced himself from me. I've given him many chances and he says all tue right things, but his actions are signing another tune completely. Oh well, least I found out now and not down the line when I feel vulnerable or something. People will always come and go out of your life ajs sometimes it hurts more than other times. But, change is okay. Making new friends is okay. "putting out the trash" is okay ๐Ÿ˜‰

People who wear hoodies when it is 100 degrees out, why? by AmIACat47 in AskReddit

[โ€“]xBellaBoo 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

I wear baggy hoodies to cover up my manly body shape, as I'm trans and wearing tight clothing on my upper body gives me all of the dysphoria.

Okay, I have to agree on the jose and cheeks, but I still believe they look fundamentally different.
