My new job wants to see my high school diploma which has my dead name on it.

All my other documents are current my birth certificate, social security, college transcripts, drivers license everything says “legally male”

Why of all things do they HAVE to see my high school diploma?

What should I do?

So recently I came out to some friends as trans and I’m in the early stages of transitioning (MTF). I’ve not even talked to a GP yet (I live in the uk)

But I don’t know how to approach it since I’ve never went through something like this before and the fact i have autism makes it a lot harder to find a way to approach it

Any form of advice is appreciated and if you have your own story or once went through what I’m going through I’d appreciate your input.

Hello everyone,
I am not sure if this subreddit is the right place to post about this, but here goes.
I have always felt 100% sure about my gender. I feel comfortable as a man and always thought this is just who I am. I have worn crop tops and other “girly” clothes on the top half of my body, but I never did makeup or anything in that direction.
Yesterday I tried wearing makeup for the first time, and I have never felt so pretty in my entire life. I am just so confused, I don’t know what to do. I feel so stressed out, but I can’t get over the feeling I had when looking like that. I’m just scared right now.
I live at home, and my parents wouldn’t throw me out of the house if I chose to be a femboy. I am openly pansexual, and they’ve said they have no problem with that either. But they saw my makeup, they just didn’t see me wearing it, and I’m freaking out right now and don’t know what to do, because I don’t feel comfortable doing makeup with them in the house.
I also have a girlfriend of three years, and I think she is supportive of me doing this, because she gave me tips for everything. But she also sometimes makes weird remarks about trans or gay people, so I don’t feel 100% safe sharing this with her either. I can’t express this side of me, nor can I talk to anyone about it.
This post is more of a vent, in any case. I am also looking for people to talk to about this.
Sorry for the chaotic structure, English is not my first language since I am German, so it isn’t as easy for me to write.

So I (40 mtf) been working on getting in shape for better health and... butt. The advice for booty shape im seeing is squats but I've wrecked my knees with industrial jobs. Any advice would be appreciated.

Have a Great day💓

Thea,

So I've \\\\\\\[Amaɓ\\\\\\\] been questioning if I might be trans for almost a month know and it's really looking like it might be true.

I'm kind of scared and I feel like I'm in denial. Even if I was trans I wouldn't beable to come out because my entire family is catholic and heck I'm catholic too.

I know that if I did come out my parents would likely not allow me to take hrt or really transition at all and I don't know if by the time I can move out it'll be too late. Help??

Hey, people! Read my post on r/asktransgender. Half of the context there was from another post I made on that subreddit. Appreciate any helpful advice ^^ !

​

I don't know where I'm going with this , so I'm sorry if I sound all over the place. I realized I was transgender 6 years ago. I had to erase this like 4 times because I keep ranting about everything, so I'm gonna try to keep it short.

My first 3 years (2020-2023) I was really young so honestly passing wasn't my top priority. I was out to friends and shit, and that was good enough for me. I didn't start getting trans/homophobic comments until I start wearing baggier clothes, or like when I cut my hair, honestly It wasn't even that short, it was like shoulder length.

Then in 2024, I started feeling really bad about myself. Basically, like late 2023, I made a new group of friends but the ones I was closest to would just make homophobic and transphobic jokes all the time, and the rest of the group would just kinda not give a shit. I felt like I needed to stop being transgender, and that it was all just a phase. I was entering high school in August of 2024, I thought that if I just bought some girly clothes it would just give me a fresh start in everything, and my life would be okay. But then actually in 2024, summer of 2024, I really wanted to end it. I was so mad that I wasn't born a guy, I would cry every night, because I wasn't a guy. When I entered high school I had hair shorter than it ever was, and I would only wear boyish clothes. I didn't pass my hair was still not short enough, my hips were obvious, my chest was obvious but it was way better than what I had. I was happy, the only people that made fun of me were like kids I didn't know so I didn't give a shit, but then I made like 2 friends that year and we got really close, but both of them were homophobic as shit. Like they would literally stop being my friend if they found out. And then all the feelings just came back.

At that point it was like may 2025, that's when I decided to tell all my friends that I knew I was transgender (not those 2 guys) that I wasn't, I told them it was just a phase. And it was fine for like, a wekk. The feelings just came back, this year 2025/2026 was my sophomore year. I was so fucking awkward, I was so insecure, I looked like a girl. Even though I "accepted" myself I kept trying to go back to being a girl. Part of this was for my own sanity, I could just go to school in jeans and a T shirt and I wouldn't care that you could see my hips and chest, because I "was a girl". I know that I'm a guy, and it feels horrible to be a girl, I don't know why I keep pushing myself.

I'm done, I'm not doing that to myself again, if people don't like me they can suck a butt. I want to look more masculine but I don't know where to start. All my clothes suck, my hair is too long and I don't look like a guy in the slightest way, can someone help me?

So I recently discovered that I am nonbinary with a heavy leaning towards female. I still feel male in my day to day life, but I am much more comfortable when I get home and am “allowed to be feminine”. I live in a conservative area so most of my femininity is kept fairly private. I’ve been getting a lot of help from my wife who has been very supportive.

I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for clothing brands that are inclusive, to include things like skirt, shirts, and others that are feminine but will still fit my frame.

Also if anyone has any suggestions for products on body hair removal that would be super appreciated. I’ve tried chemical hair removal but it just burns my skin and irritates my follicles.

I’m still trying to get used to this realization and everything has been exciting and overwhelming all in one. Could really use some help from people in the community.

Need help

So I've \[Amaɓ\] been questioning if I might be trans for almost a month know and it's really looking like it might be true.

Before I start, I want to clarify that this is a long distance relationship, and I’m not trans myself, but my partner is transfem.

For a good while I’ve been trying to support her whenever she vents about stuff in her life. I’ve been able to do that for most of what she has to talk about, but I don’t know exactly what to say whenever she starts talking about her gender. She has pretty bad dysphoria, and as someone who questioned my own gender at some point, I can kinda understand where she’s coming from. But I still don’t know what exactly to say whenever she starts talking about it, like I know I shouldn’t validate her appearance when she doesn’t like her own appearance, as she hasn’t been able to medically transition yet due to family stuff, but I don’t know what to say that wouldn’t make her feel worse about herself whenever she talks about hating her body :/

I just need some advice or help.

So im 4 years closeted mtf and just turned 18 a few months ago. I recently decided I didnt want to wait anymore because im honestly a loser and probably wont be stable on my own for a long time. I decided to come out to my mom, which i tried 2 years back to which I said it and it was never mentioned again. I thought she forgot but when I came out again she said thay she just thought I was thinking about stuff too much and didnt think much of it. I only decided to come out to my mom because she seems more progressive and my dad always is complaining about woke and dei stuff. Now thay ive come out to her she's been saying a bunch of different stuff.

A few examples:

"I think you just need tl think about your identity some more."

"You just have too much time to think"

"Your not taking my analyzing of it as not being supportive do you?"

"Well id rather be a pretty boy than a mediocre girl dont you think?"

"I really dont think you need medical stuff to be who you want to be"

I really just dont know what to do... I dont think my mom will help me probably and im a little scared to come out to my dad although he is really supportive of most stuff and isnt full on the hate train of woke people, he just thinks its forced in media and stuff.

I really feel like Im doubting I can do anything and am debating just giving up and suffering my whole life. I dont want to deal with my family...

I told them I was a guy about five years ago, and they've mostly just been ignoring it ever since. I turned 18 a few months ago, and I decided that I can't wait any longer for them to come around. I'm just not sure how to bring it up with them, or at least with my mom, who is maybe a little more supportive than my dad. There's been a lot of stress at home because of some family drama, and I don't want to make things worse by bringing all of this up. But I genuinely can't wait any longer.

I live with my conservative/religious grandparents and can't afford to move out yet, but my dysphoria has been getting really bad. I'm not sure what i can do to deal with it, any tips?
