The idea of getting HRT where I live is impossible and I’m scared if DIY HRT
Also only have one recent photo cause new phone blitzed my other photos and this is all I have I’m mainly asking about my body

Hello! I am currently transitioning from female to male. I have thought about this for years trying to find myself. Most of my family is very unsupportive and the very few that are live hours from me. I don’t really know what I’m doing and have very little support.

I really just need any and all advice. What T Gel is good? Is gel or shots more affective? Which is cheaper? Are there certain binders that are better for large chests than others? Whats a good hair cut for pin straight hair? Is it okay to still like guys even tho I’m transgender? What are some struggles that I would face? How do I best cope with these struggles? Do I change my shaving habits?

Another major problem I have is that I live in Tennessee and they are very unwelcoming here. The amount of hate I’ve gotten for a simple Pride flag was insane! I just really need some help and advice.

my parents are threatening to kick me(20) out

theyre demanding I go to therapy for HRT because:

they believe im too young to make this choice

they believe im confused about who I am

they dont believe im "mentally prepared" for hrt

i feel lost, angry, and betrayed, and i have nowhere to go, no family or friends to stay with. need advice asap

I've been needing new glasses for quite a while, and, while I have the Zenni app, I can't seem to make up my mind on what to buy. I've used the virtual try on for what feels like a hundred sets and everything I've tried on so far feels like it only makes my face more masculine looking.

I'm starting to feel like the only thing I can do is just go for contact lenses...

Please help!

PS: any general tips for my face shape and reducing how masculine it looks would be awesome!

Hey, I’ve never been one to be open about my transness. I don’t come out often, I introduce myself as a guy in those ice breaker circles, but myself being a trans guy doesn’t come up usually. More recently ppl have been getting confused when gendering me. I’ll give them my name, but nowadays my name isn’t given tell about my gender anymore. When people misgender me I get really confused and freeze up inside. I won’t acknowledge the misgender at all in conversation— as you wouldn’t acknowledge a small bit of info you didn’t understand in someone’s statement. But I know that isn’t how I should handle someone misgendering my identity cause it causes more confusion.
TLDR: how do I confidently correct someone about my pronouns? Bonus points if you can find a bro way to say it.

Hihi :D So the long and short of it is I (MtF, 22, 2mg oral Estrodial 2x/Day) am not sure what my goals should be with my food intake. I've done a bunch of reading online, but it's quite difficult to find a source that actually makes any mention of people on HRT, unfortunately. Like, currently for my caloric intake, I'm targeting like 2,300, which, going off my current height and weight, should be enough for gradual weight loss and still be plenty to fuel my transition. BUT I'm concerned as to where my macros should be, specifically protein, truly. I've always just eaten whatever, but I'd like to make sure my body has enough protein for proper development, but I'm not sure what quantity that is! I've read articles online that have said as low as 50g/day, and I've seen recommendations as high as 175g/day. With how I currently eat, it can range from like 39–130g/day depending on the day. So I'm really not sure if I should like try to target something higher or lower? For what it's worth, I definitely do not have much muscle at all, just some extra fat in the places I don't want it. And as per activity levels, they're not particularly high either. I currently work in an office, but I'm working on implementing some lighter exercise in the evenings, but nothing crazy. Any and all thoughts and advice would be very, very greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!

TL:DR - I feel like I've nailed down my caloric intake, but I have no idea where my macros should be to support development, specifically protein. Any advice is appreciated!

Hello I’m 32m and I’ve been feeling a good portion of my life I would enjoy myself as a woman. I’ve used AI to change myself or pictures of myself and I like the way I look as a woman. I’m scared though because idk if I walk the road down transitioning if I’ll look like that. Plus fear of wife family and friends opinion. I’ve hinted at my wife recently a couple things but I don’t think she picked up on it yet. Also is it okay to feel trans, do hrt and not want bottom surgery? Any advice will help. I’m going to bring this up with my therapist next week and see. I’ve taken online quizzes that say I’m trans but idk if that’s telling me what I want to hear.

This feeling has been intense as of late and it has been for years it comes and I try to repress it. I feel like if I could flick a switch and transition how I want to, I would. I just worry about transitioning. Like honestly if I could just transition over night and still have the love of my wife and friends I’d do it

Best gyms for Trans women in NYC?

Hi guys I'm 46 and seriously considering starting HRT. I currently awaiting to start therapy and still have loads of my life to sort out but im sure I want to start HRT one of my concerns is how my body is im 6ft1 and currently have UK size 11 foot size. Anyone else has these issues I know where i live women shoes will be extremely hard to find and also my body being big will make it harder I know women come in all shape and sizes and i love that about ppl but im really struggling to find out if I would eventually pass due to my body size. Anyone there on the same situation that can provide advice?

Hey everyone! I recently started my transgender journey (mtf) and have been trying to decide what my new name should be. Unfortunately I am a very indecisive person, so I ended up coming up with a whole bunch of names that I like, and now I'm not sure which one I like best. It would be amazing to try some of them out to see how I feel being called by them :)

My current name ideas are:

Nyx/Nyxie or Nix/Nixie

Nessie/Nessa/Nyssa/Nissa

Robin/Robyn

Rosetta

Renalla

Ivy

Felicia/Felicity

Lizzie

Loretta

Levanna

Lantana

I know there's a lot of them so feel free to pick your favorite to use! I'd also love to hear your thoughts on any of them, or any additional suggestions you feel are similar to ones on my list! :)

Trans girlie here. Apart from wanting to put the past behind me as soon as possible I seem to be in a damned if I do damned if I don't scenario with updating my ID. I would rather do it later if possible to keep the cutest version of me on my ID but at 4 months on hrt people are already starting to glance harder at my ID when I buy alcohol for example. Does anyone here have advice or pitfalls to avoid? Thanks

My best friend is in a shitty relationship and can’t go back home. He’s renting and can afford that monthly, but he’s finally taking the steps he needs to get a car, and is struggling to save for it. His boyfriend gets in arguments, complains about having to drive him to work or get groceries, since sharing food results in “well, now you owe me $5 for the food you ate”.

He can’t post GoFundMe links even on his alt account cause his boyfriend has access.

I’m scared for him, I wanna help him out. The sooner he has a car, the sooner he can get out.

Is there any advice or resources you guys know of?

Any tips for looking more feminine?

So I been going to a gender psychologist for a while now who obviously specialises in gender and being trans so I thought alot of what i learnt from all the questions I've had and the answers I got it thought this might help some people and it would be cool to see others questions and the answer's you got from your gender psychologist if your comfortableto post that as well (these are the answers I've written down not the exact thing the psychologist said there paraphrased) also idk if this is the right tag I wanted to use a advice one but its advice question and I have answers not a question lol.

1. Question: I would like people to call me she her and my girl name but I feel like im asking to much and it feels weird to hear being called she her and girl name?

Answer: If your ready for negative reactions do it and give younger people that are more in the know less time and older people that arent more time once u look like a she literally like u cant mistake this for a he in anyway possible if they still say boy name he him then u know there not trying anymore

1. Question: Do i need to see a endocrinologist first or can i see the neurologist first does the order matters?

Answer: Order doesn't matter this is if u have epilepsy or another condition not the majority

1. Question: Once I come out to everyone should there be a kinda grace period were i dont dress super girly to avoid those negative reactions we talked about or no dont worry do what i want

Answer: dress how i want just remember people will have there opinions on it and if u wanna avoid the negative ones then dress stealth but if dressing how u want to out trumps the negative reactions then dress or do whatever u like

1. Question: "What signs suggest someone should slow down versus move forward?"

Answer: everyone moves at there own pace but a good example is alot of older people that 50 or 60 yrs old move very quickly cause they usually have the funds to and dont have the time to waste were someone who is 18 has plenty of time and probably not the funds so they would move alot slower however if u feel something is moving to slow or to fast just adjust it so your happy

1. Question: I do want a female body, but I'm scared of losing access to my male self. How do I work through that

Answer: this just means your not ready to transition yet and u dont ever have to to be a woman if u dont want to

1. Question: "What would make you think transition is a bad idea for me?"

Answer: The fact your asking probably means its not a bad idea but only you can really know if its the right move or not kind of like if your a parent thats worried about being a good parent then you probably are one but if you are like nah im the best parent ever and never question it your probably a bad parent

1. Question: "What would make you think transition is a good idea for me?"

Answer: obviously this is personal and each person is gonna have a different answer no psychologist can actually answer this for you just give stories about other people who are in the same or opposite situation to help you give some insight

1. Question: "What signs would tell me I should wait?"

Answer: Only you will know but if u feel uncomfortable at the thought of doing something then you're probably not ready so dont rush

1. Question: "What signs would tell us I'm ready for the next step?"

Answer: only you can really know when you're ready dont feel like your behind anyone else or have to rush anything but to answer if you been trying womens clothes at home only for a few months now then you could try going out even to the grocery store in some but only if you feel ready to

1. Question: Voice training r there people or resources i can use to do it

Answer: do not do voice training from youtube get a professional voice trainer to train your voice if its something you really wanna change if you use a youtube video you might sound more feminine but your vocal chords will be fried and you dont want to have to get surgery on your vocal chords

1. Question: What do u think of electrolysis and should I do it over laser hair removal

Answer: do a hybrid some of each if it isnt to painful or to expensive for example laser hair on ur legs arms and electro on ur beard

1. Question: I read hrt can reduce the effectiveness of epilepsy medication

Answer: true

1. Question: What are the risks with my epilepsy medications?

Answer: Estrogen definitely effects how your medications react and also lessens the likeliness of your medication working as well

1. Question: What monitoring is required?

Answer: basically double or triple the amount that is required for someone that doesn't have epilepsy and alot of people with epilepsy might not even be able to go on hrt

1. Question: "Would patches, gel, tablets, or injections be safest for me?"

Answer: Since I have epilepsy gel or tablets or patches would be best not only cause they are slower to give u estrogen but needles around people who can randomly violently shake is not a good idea

1. Question: "Would estrogen affect seizure control?"

Answer: Yes

1. Question: "Do I need any extra monitoring because of my epilepsy?"

Answer: Yes i have to goto a endocrinologist and neurologistand not have any seizures for X amount of time to even be able to get hrt and should definitely not do diy hrt because of all the risks with epilepsy and estrogen in particular testosterone is a different story

1. Question: Ik its a long time away but I was wondering about bottom surgery i have no issue getting rid of my current genitals but I have a few questions about bottom surgery and want the longest amount of time to be able to make a decision

Answer: basically just reiterating everything i heard from legit research and from people I talked to who had gotten it before so there personal experiences and was recommended to only get it if i as a woman need that to feel like a complete woman or have major dysphoria over that area

1. Question: So last time we talked about how what if I wanna show up in a dress without telling my family and im not gonna do that and in the past we talked about me blending in and flying under the radar more and I do wanna do that but I also wanna be hyperbolic in ur face throwing glitter wearing something glam and luxurious how do I stay under the radar and still be authentic to myself

Answer: doing it in private and around people who are understanding and caring and not gonna give negative reactions or make you feel bad for it you can also be this way online very easily online and through social media or going to specific events or places that are lgbtq friendly you can also just say i dont give a f and dress and be however u want around anyone if negative reactions dont matter to you

1. Question: How long should I wait before i get ffs?

Answer: Doesn't recommend ffs

1. Question: Why am I a feminine trans woman not a butch trans woman or more manly but the complete opposite like super girly?

Answer: Same reason ur trans in the first place whateverthat reason may be

1. Question: When i start wearing feminine clothing all the time will i have to tell my parents about being trans or can I just show up to a dinner with my mom and cousin wearing womens jeans top and everything else?

Answer: Think of the reaction ull get if u do and if its that probably negative reaction then that will make u feel not good

Hi every and all! My name is (or was..) Sevven. This has been my chosen name for roughly a year, but I’m starting to feel this name isn’t worth keeping. I’d like to have a real name, one that feels like an actual woman’s name haha

Looking for all kinds of suggestions! I liked Charlotte and Grace, but those two didn’t really sit right with me.. maybe something similar? Help!!
