i fuckin love that dress
Holy shit that dress I need that.
God I wish I was skinny so I could pull off the goth/punk-goth look. Keep rockin' it.
Just gotta keep running this damn stomach of mine off.

I got my ears pierced today!
I dont think I'll ever be comfortable with my body. I want to shake this feeling since it is honestly the most distracting thing I have to deal with every day.
the first young kids i talk to in like forever and theyre immediately like "Are You A Girl Or A Boy" when almost invading my ground floor bedroom, messing a bit with my stuff
i was like "I Dont Know" to try messing with them but just. eugh
Whose kids were they and why did they barge in your room?
theyre upstairs neighbors. ive actually never talked to any of our neighbors until now
they didnt actually go in my room but they were by my bedroom windows that i have open basically all the time because of the heat. and i have a bunch of stuff on my windowsill
Ah, I see. Don't let it get to ya, at least kids have the excuse of being ignorant of a lot of things.
Ye, some kids a while back thought I was a girl due to my long hair, despite my very visible and long beard.
I'll wear skirts and dresses at home, sometimes my little brothers friends are in the house they'll give me a funny look at first but no of them have ever said anything, I think kids are just curious if they're asking and are just asking out of a genuine curiosity
my niece and nephew are unfortunately old enough to understand what trans people are and they just give me disgruntled looks all the time, esp when i'm going out in girl mode
at least my sister doesn't have an issue with it, she always wanted a sister anyways lol
Hi. This might be a bit of a long post but I need to tell someone. I'm not yet ready to tell my friends or family, so what better place than the forum that I've spent the most amount of time on.
Since I realized I was bi sometime in 2013 at age 22, I started to increasingly embrace the more feminine aspects of my personality rather than suppress them in fear of ridicule. Eventually, feelings I had as a child resurfaced and started to work their way into my mind again and over time it only became more and more frequent. I started to get more and more upset at the genetic hand I was dealt, wanting to look cute and friendly instead of being the imposing, hairy man with a receding hairline that was passed onto me by my father. I knew something about me was off but i never really understood what it was.
Then this year I stumbled upon ContraPoints. I started watching her videos and all of the sudden it was like a switch flipped inside me, re-contextualizing all my previous thoughts and feelings and helping me to make sense of it all. I finally understand myself. I've always been supportive of transgender people and knew enough about them to help defend against TERFs and the like, but it took watching someone else realize that they're trans for me to finally realize it about myself.
Again, sorry for the long-ish post but I just had to get it out.
Now if only I weren't so god awful at coming up with names.
For what it's worth, this is exactly how I described it for my own situation.
Holy shit. I went shopping with my parents and we ran into old family friends. Theyre kind of like my aunt and uncle. They were talking to my parents and aparently my uncle said I look like "one of those korean kpop girls."
Good shit 👌
Hope all you pretty people are doing wonderfully.
The other day I told a psychiatrist about a long uh, " manic episode" I had that just happened to include a fair bit of crossdressing as a part of it. He asked a bunch about it.
He was skeptical when I said it wasn't a sexual thing, and claimed I couldn't possibly really want to be a girl because I'm primarily straight and that those things don't go together.
Kinda pushed for some weird details about it too, not sure what that was about.
To our UK friends, I'm so, so sorry you have to talk to people like this here.
Left there feeling like pressurised shit for a couple other reasons, the CD stuff was a small part but it stuck with me. I really didn't expect such things from someone in his position.
On a lighter note:
Actually bought *more* girly stuff for when I'm in super-private away from home. Might even go outside in this one fuchsia hoodie, it looks so comfy. Should be nice!
hello
I'm not transgendered, but I want to be a lot more feminine, and I sort of want to start wearing girly clothes from time to time (whenever I can scrape enough money together to buy some cute things).
Really, at the end of the day I just want to be cute. I'm still happy being a guy, but I want to be a lot more girly.
I've really only told my best friend this, but he's a fairly conservative guy and his only response is "well, you do you, buddy"
Anyways, I'm posting this because I don't really know any like-minded people in real life, and sort of wanted to say, you know, hi. Sorry if this post is a little weird, talking about this stuff still makes me kinda nervous.
I feel kinda' similarly, though I'm not sure how confident I'd be in offering advice - but you're definitely not alone.
Your conservative friend has the right advice
do whatever you want with yourself. If you want to be a girly cute guy then work towards that. If you feel something else, work towards that.
dont let people define you. Let you define you.
In other news I’m moving to Orlando to attend UCF next month. Not only do they have a free general health clinic for students but they have a dedicated trans care system that deals with HRT and support groups. Pretty awesome. Means I might have HRT by the end of the year and fulfill my New Years pledge

Hi. Just dropping in to tell you, as a like-minded person, that this is perfectly okay and you're not alone.
Being a man doesn't mean you have to be masculine.
Hey everyone, haven't been in this thread in a while. Last time I was here I was still on the fence about seeing someone and tbh I still am.
I know deep down that I'm not comfortable as I am but I'm not uncomfortable if that makes any sense at all.
I've been trying CD'ing and it feels so much more right than my normal stuff (although I p.much only wear women's jeans now) and I've just gotten some make up that I plan on trying out. I've also taken to wearing more girly accessories when I go out.
I have no idea what the point of this post was but I needed to get this off of my chest, especially as I have no one to talk to about this, seeing as my partner doesn't understand/is ignorant of transgenderism
From my understanding the reason it ends up being more unlikely (emphasis on "unlikely" and not the "impossible" attitude this psychiatrist seems to have) for someone to be "straight" when transgender is because people are viewing things backwards. A male to female transperson is more likely to be attracted to men than women because they are mentally female. It's far more likely for a woman to be attracted to men than to other women. Though the statistics are somewhat skewed when it comes to transgender people. From what I've seen bisexuality is much more common amongst transgender people than cisgender people.
From getting to that one talk they said would get me to the process of HRT and now I have had no fucking appointments or any calls from them since, in fucking months. I have already given up and resumed cannabis use because of this feeling of abandonment.
I don't even want to hurt or kill myself anymore, this just sucks, I just can't wrap my mind around a life with all this god damn pain, yet I don't feel particularly prompted to end it either, it just sucks and I am too apathetic to care about it, it is my only hope. My pact INVOLVES suicide at the failure of rectification of gender, almost every single last condition has been met, yet something makes me heed the everpresent drive to survive. I know there is no point beyond this, I know I have reached critical mission failure in a game I can't quickload or even start over playing, there is no point, its all glitchy NPCs and weird trashlands and abandoned level sections from here.
Been a good fight.
Tomorrow is my first appointment, 2 hour drive but hopefully they can work with me on a closer clinic if one exists?
So nervous, excited, and curious on what's going to happen. It's probably just gonna be boring paperwork and info, and then I'll have to drive back AGAIN after.
I came out to my high school best friend today after I invited him to eat breakfast and going back to his place to play Mario Odyssey.
Pretty much told him "hey, its time for me to go but before I do, can we talk outside for a bit?" And out it came. It went really well. Not that I expected anything different. I guess I choose my friends well. He even asked me my preferred pronouns. In fact, he insisted I tell him.
I didn't manage to get too far in depth, because speaking in person rather than text is a whole lot harder, but I managed enough. It was a bit strange because I don't get to see him too often after I went to university and he stayed in community college, but we used to be close and I guess we still are.
I have heard rumors that they outsource the surgeries to german surgeons.
Went to my first HRT appointment today and it went well I think! I got a USB drive with a bunch of info, she wants me to watch one of the videos and just go over everything. It also has a ton of useful resources, including some voice therapy - success! Turns out a hospital near me actually ha a specialist for that.
I return in a month and she'll go over my blood results, give me my levels, and all that fun stuff. I'll then get it prescribed to a place close to where I live (I have to drive two hours out, and then two hours back, it's far), and only have to return every once in awhile to get checked up again.
I was so nervous about today, the drive was stressful and of course there was construction - but I'm glad I went, and I have a month to relax before I have to go again. It's progress!
It's neat because the pills I'll get here in a month are the dissolve type, so it won't hit my liver at all. I didn't even know it was an option, but I'll have Estro and Spiro.
Wow, that's absolutely amazing. My HRT Dr was like "Uh, I sent the prescription to your pharmacy, bye". That's super neat that she gave you a flash drive with a ton of info. Congrats!!!
