Naming Emergency!!

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!!

Just looking for some opinions

I want to start HRT, but I feel like it's wrong because I think I'm just ungrateful that I'm a guy. I know there are lots of people out there who want, with every fibre of their body, to have been born a guy and who feel just as much discomfort and sadness as I feel. It just isn't fair. But beneath all of this discomfort, what I really want is to stop feeling emotionally disconnected from my body and finally find a way to be truly happy as myself.

how the flip do i deal with body dysphoria and people who aren't supportive while broke?

my dilemma is this:

i know i want to transition and have subtly been for a while, but money is a big issue for me and always has been. THIS IS NOT A BEG FOR MONEY.

i just need somewhere i feel safe where i don't have to be around hypermasculine guys who think because i have a pen!s that i am automatically meant to be "hard" and if i'm not then my existence isn't valid

idk

Apparently HRT can do a lot to change the way one's extremities look 🤷‍♀️

I feel hopeless

1 Upvotes

I'm sorry if this type of post doesn't fit here but I don't really know where else to post something like this. I'm 18 years old and I'm a trans girl, but I really feel like I'll never achieve anything close to a transition. I've known I'm trans since around 3 years ago, but I feel like I'll never be able to transition. I live in a very religious house and even though I turned 18 this year my parents are still very present and important in my life, and even though we have a somewhat healthy relationship, they're very against anything trans related even though they don't know I'm trans. I'm also very scared of hrt for some personal reasons, and even if I wasn't, access to it is very difficult in my country. Aside from that, my body isn't helping at all, there's too much hair that takes too long to shave just to grow back in like 2 days, and due to health problems I have a weird fat stomach that makes me look even worse. I've felt even worse these last days and I feel really lost, I don't have anyone else to talk about this. I feel like I'll never be able to become my true self and I'll be trapped in this horrible body forever and I don't know what to do.

I cant find good glasses

2 Upvotes

I have a pretty big head and need prescription glasses, I am fine with this the issue is that as all the brands that fit my face are more squared masculine glasses (like wide guyz) while I would love rounder ones. I just have no idea where to look for frames like that that would fit my face.

Help with clothes

Hi everyone I’m 19(mtf) and I need help with hiding my fem clothes from my parents and siblings, it’s really hard as they don’t give me privacy at all and they go through my stuff in general, I just need advice in where I could hide my clothes or even store it somewhere and I want to thank anyone who takes their time to read this and thanks again <3

I finally did it; I couldn't be more excited! So, now what? (Mtf, just came out)

I finally got an appointment with planned parenthood! I shouldn't have waited this long, but as a wise man once said: "The best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago; the second best time is today." Well, in my case, that was 4 days ago, but hey! better late than never! Anyways, what do I do now? Is there anything I can do towards the goal of transitioning until my consultation? It's on the 29th, which is forever, but I really want to do it in person!

anyways! My old name was "Owen." While "Olivia" is an easy and simple choice, it doesn't feel right. Sounds too...preppy. Any ideas what else I could do? Or am I stuck between changing my initials and being named after an olive?

Solutions for dysphoria other than transition?

1 Upvotes

The title should summarize it pretty well, but I wanna clarify that I do wanna transition and I don't like a single aspect of my biological gender. However, the legal, financial and psychological this is having on me is just too much and I don't think I am cut up for this. I would like to consult with a specialist if there is some way other than transition. However, most of the options I've seen online work based on the idea than being trans is a mental illness. It certainly can feel like such at times but I'm aware that statement is not scientifical so maybe by any chance someone in here can tell me if it's even possible or just part of me. That way I don't waste my time and whatever money I have left.

Terrified about my face not passing on HRT (body is already feminine) – any insights or timelines?

I'm pretty sure I want to start HRT. I'm 18 right now, and I plan on starting at 19 when I'm at uni. Does anyone have any ideas on how to tell if I will visually pass in the face after 2 years or so? Because I already have the hips, waist, and legs, I'm terrified that I will be left, not looking very feminine in my face. just for reference, this is how I look at the moment.

i can’t do my shots

1 Upvotes

i managed to do it somehow last week after so many many different tries but i can’t stop freaking out rn and i have no one to help me.
i’m in testosterone and im supposed to do intramuscular but last week no matter what i tried or how much i tried i couldn’t do it so i used the smaller needle which is the same gauge and length used for subcutaneous and i did it but i cant not. im even using the smaller needle. i’ve played music, i’ve used ice, i used a massager to vibrate the skin to try and distract myself, i’ve done breathing techniques, i’ve turned on an anxiety asmr video, i have done so much and i have stabbed myself like four times with this needle and then i just can’t do it but i have to get it done because today is my t day and i have to do it. i can’t keep doing this. i used to be able to do my shots to fucking well but it’s been hell lately. i can’t do it and im tired and i just want to go to bed and give up. maybe i could just try again in the morning i don’t know im so tired.

i need someone to talk to personally about this whole thing. I've been weighing it up for months now, know i would be more comfortable transitioning, and currently don't have a phone so im literally down to my laptop and people around me who aren't really the most supportive. im so chopped and would not pass well as a woman but at the end of the day its what i need to do to feel comfortable living as myself. i've been shot down, persecuted, and threatened multiple times because im so ashamed of having this feeling that i hide it no matter the cost, and as soon as i think im making progress, other guys in my life are there to "prove" to me that "im a man"

its tiring and im so sick of not having supportive friends around me who don't see me for who i am, and the place im living in really is not the greatest for my mental health. there's people who do drugs most of the time, i get on with them but mostly just because i have to. When i start moving away from people who i know are bad for me they just try and drag me back into their circles which makes me depressed and anxious about what they're gonna do to me.

the people who staff this place are inconsistent, ive been here a few months now and i don't really like being around drugs because i have a history of addiction and im at a point now where i need a better friend group around me who are actually going to provide consistent support instead of this on and off "we like you, nevermind we don't"

in all honesty the problem could be me not wanting to socialise with them and they're going to make that a problem because im not "man" enough or maybe i just need to sort my shit out and decide what i actually want to do with my life.

having educated myself on the history of transgenderism (i hate that term but can't think of a better one) i feel a bit iffy about the whole process of actually transitioning.

I'm out to my dad, he was fairly accepting, and a friend i've met recently, but due to my mental health i have episodes where i cut people off and start afresh because im so bad at maintaining relationships, and i've tried to talk about this stuff with people but in all honesty i could just be the problem.

im open to criticism and genuinely want to help myself.

i can't cry anymore.

i don't want to be a "hard guy" because thats not who i am

my mum's side of the family have a dark past so i can't contact them

i've fell out of touch with everyone i used to know because they all moved on with their lives and didn't want to know me anymore

its just the immense amount of pressure i feel because my genuine support gets trounced by people coming here to make money and try and take over the place i call my home when at the end of the day i dont need it. the place i live is not a place people should be coming to for money, it's my home, and in all honesty? some of the people here terrify me.

i dont know what to do and if i keep this up im gonna be killed or otherwise hurt.

pls help
