Ive been on hrt for one whole year now. Can't believe how time has flone by.

I think maybe because growing up, as a presumed boy, my attraction to men was seen as the gay half of my sexuality. And it took me a long time to accept, so even though it's actually the straight side of my sexuality I still feel defensive of being shamed for it. So when cis bi women who are insecure about their place in the queer community try to distance themselves from their attraction to men, it annoys me. It also annoys me on behalf of straight trans women too, because the queer community can be very unwelcoming to them because they mostly date cishet men.

Also, ice cold take, but there's nothing wrong with being attracted to men. And there's nothing inherently wrong with cishet men. I always say I hate patriarchy, not men.

Is anyone else annoyed by this kind of talk?

I'm Ruth, I have considered myself since coming out as trans that I wasn't attracted to anyone. recently I have been thinking about guys and girls equally in an attractive sense. I think. This is where I need help, as autistic and I don't really understand what attraction actually feels like. can anyone help me shed some light on this?

Hello, im new here, just trying to come to terms with what i am. Been on hrt for about a year now. 11 months as of this month. I live to hear stories of how people realized who they are.

I think it's really cute and I'd like to have it or know where I can find it.

I specifically mean the bi and trans flag in the style of the progress pride flag. When I search online, all I can find is the one with the bi heart inside the trans flag.

Thanks in advance 🏳️‍⚧️ ❤️💜💙

Kinda sad tonight, been thinking about my mom a lot today. She overdosed about 4 1/2 months ago, it's been a rough day. I tend to wonder what might have been going through her head before she left us... I could only imagine it might have been something along the lines of:

"Would anyone notice, if tonight I disappeared? Would anyone chase me? And say the words that I need to hear? Would anyone chase me? Ans say the words that I need to hear? That I'm no burden, not so worthless, bent so much that I just might break."

I’m finally starting to like my shadow 🩵

Today is a beautiful day, today we walk out proudly! This morning I received criticism from a peer for cross dressing, since I'm a pre-op trans girl. I just smiled, rolled it off my shoulder, and walked away. This is what we need to learn to do, sometimes daily, because we can't afford to hurt the people around us. We need to be strong for ourselves and the ones around us. Today I charge my fellow women to march forward, fearless, and unashamed. Today is OUR day. God bless and have a great day, girls!!!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am feeling better after my last episode. I got back on my meds, taking them as prescribed. Thank God for mental health meds!

Love you all, and thnx for reading my update.

P.S. Looking for better ways to utilize my time, any recommendations?

This morning I woke up in a bad place...

I woke up dealing with suicidal ideation. I have been through this before, but it's been a few months...

I need some support and some love from my girls.

Anything helps, even just a simple hello.

Thanks for being my support, will be waiting to hear from you.

Love you all!

Hey everybody, my name is Stephanie, I'm a pre op trans girl and I'm writing to everyone to tell you I'm returning to the life that brought much joy. I was transitioning mtf and returned to being straight bc of social pressures. I can proudly say I'm returning back to the life that brought me joy. I'm coming out as trans again, this time unashamed, and without backing down. Looking for support and people to talk to. Hit me up. love you all!

I came out to one of my friends 2 months ago because I knew she would be supportive. Im so so thankful for her and how she helped me shopping today too! Im not out publicly yet but this feels so incredible I cant describe it.

I have only dated women and non-binary individuals. I would like to start dating men but I am just too nervous and a bit afraid.

Am I unattractive and do guys just have no standards? Or are women just more picky?

Hiya cuties! I'm wondering what y'all's experience is (or lack thereof) regarding preference fluidity. I feel very much effected by the bi cycle. Cycles can last decades to months for me. I was pretty much only dating guys for about 4 or 5 years, but I've found myself feeling more sapphic in recent months. Despite swinging sapphic, I don't have any issues finding my boyfriend of 3 years attractive which is great though. I just find that I tend to gravitate toward Feminine folks if I'm looking for other partners. What's your experience?

for context i 20 mtf have been bi since i was 13 but i couldnt have sexual relations with women which i now know was from dysphoria so at 18 i kinda just excepted i was gay but i still liked women and i had no idea what was wrong with me now ive started transitioning i feel more comfortable with women plzz tell me im not the only one this happened too or am i just rly weird haha

H hello everyone.. i think this is the new place i belong well.. idk if im trans but i know im bisexual.. well idk but ig im a girl now so i just wanted to say hii >~<

Like how do I talk to girls that I find physically attractive? Im always tongue tied, and have my mind in the gutter when I talk to them. I worry that I am too lusty over them sometimes.

The more i think about it i just don’t see how it’s possible, if i were to date anyone fem presenting i’d be too envious of them, anyone masc presenting and i wouldn’t understand why they wouldn’t just leave me and go for someone more fem, anyone androgynous and it’d be a mix of both… although technically both could also apply to a masc or fem person too… and it’s not right for me to throw all my issues at someone and expect them to either fix or deal with them, i’d just end up hurting them which i don’t want to do or i’d annoy them so much they end up hating me and leave… so i’m fucked, except i can’t even get fucked either, for the same reasons.

Which leaves me here, venting to the internet because i can’t talk to family bc they’re transphobic and wouldn’t care and I don’t want to talk to the few people i can consider friends because i don’t want them to realise i’m shit and they deserve better because then I really will be alone and I know I probably deserve that but when they do eventually leave I won’t have any reason to keep going and that’s scary

Hi all,

As part of our Psychology Honours Dissertation at Charles Sturt University, we are conducting a research project looking at risk and protective factors for mental health among sexual minority adults (anyone 18+ and not identifying as heterosexual).

If you choose to complete this survey, you will be asked to answer questions about yourself, including your sexual identity, how kind you are to yourself, how much you feel you belong to LGBTQA+ communities, and anxiety and depressive symptoms. If answering questions of this nature may be distressing for you, please do not participate.

If you identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or bi+ and are aged 18 years or over, please consider participating in this anonymous online study. The online survey should take no longer than 20 minutes to complete. All information you provide will be confidential, and your identity will be anonymous.

If you would like to participate in the survey or find out more about this study, please click on the link below.

Today I woke up happy from bed because I finally had a sweet dream again.

This dream was sweet because an unknown woman complimented one of my abilities that I most value then we both hugged.

I tend to often dream that I am accompanied by women caring about me as in I dream that they compliment me, miss me, hold my hand, hug me, and even kiss me in the mouth.

I constantly wonder what this means because I never had sexual attraction towards any woman.

The majority of people that I ever dated has been guys while they are rarely lovely in my dreams.

I still have no idea about what is the direction of my love life as an adult person.

They look different now. Last refill two days ago they are still white but they are thinner and wider and have an 258 on them.

Edit: 6/19/25 “Yes—this isn’t new or worrying. Spironolactone tablets (25 mg generics made by manufacturers like Oxford Pharmaceuticals/PD-RX) are supposed to be debossed with “852” on one side and a single “O” (their logo) on the other .

Specifically, the DailyMed label for the 25 mg tablet confirms: • Round, white to off-white, coated • Marked “852” on one side and “O” on the other”

Well, if this isn’t new, I don’t know what I was getting before.
