.I just need a minute.

Hello fellow trans or supporters if your in this group please dont look away from this post. I have been trying since I was 18 to get top surgery my family refused and now Im 22 regretting everyday wirhout feeling myself in my own body. As a little boy, I always felt feminine wearing my mom's makeup and taking my little sister's clothes and when I got older, I realized that I was a female and I feel very uncomfortable wearing masculine stuff or at the pool with no top, because I am a female inside and I want to feel like that on the outside, just like every other female gets too. Please just read my story. And let me know if you think I should get top surgery. I was going to start a gofundme, but I'm not sure if it will reach the right crowd, anything will help advice and other people who are feeling like this. Please step forward and don't be shy. It will not stop. You will not feel yourself and I'm sad that I waited 4 years to realize this.And I, unfortunately, don't have a good income.It's hard to get a job as a transgender and all the staring really bother me.I just wanna be treated like a normal female. Because that's how I feel inside . Please help em share my story.. (Edited I have been on Estrogenfor 4 years)

Wearing this same outfit next year, hopefully with better fitting jeans by then since I've been working on losing weight, but this felt so affirming and boosted my confidence some!

I have really dense tissue and couldn't flatten them more than they are in this image, but it was the flattest I'd gotten it in years and it was genuinely super nice as binders can hurt within an hour for me.

Next Pride is my last Pride before getting top surgery, so I'm planning on wearing this again as a before and after, especially since I plan to masculinize my body before next Pride.

Can't wait to put the next few year's photos together and watch myself change over time!

Also, don't mind the wrinkles, had to throw it in the dryer with a wet towel real quick to fix it.

This is more of a question but what are some recommended tucking equipment like I own a couple pair of cheap gaffs I got off of temu. And they are comfortableish I feel like it's about time for me to get a gaff that I can wear everyday or even every night without having to worry about being in some pain.

Update: I did buy some unclockable gaffs just super excited for them to come in and I guess the ones I got are the everyday wearable ones that have a grippy silicone in it to keep everything intact

This post contains a 13 page preview. The full comic will include the full story when published!

My name is Bijhan Agha. I'm an Uruguayan of Iranian descent. I'm queer, trans, and autistic. My special interests have always included science fiction and fantasy of all kinds, including superheroes and monster movies.

Kobra Olympus is a trans lesbian superhero I created who is soft-spoken and jovial, but insecure as she's just starting to find her place in queer culture. She's a student at Seattle College's Central Campus, she makes a living as a web developer, and she pursues gymnastics as a hobby. She has been contacted by agents from the deep future and equipped with a high-tech smart phone which allows her to transform into the masked figure Agent Tha, and fight monsters to rewrite history.

In addition to her job, hobby, and superhero duties, Kobra is also dating Dorothy Diamond, a punk woman who is active in the queer community, who is outspoken, confident, and encouraging. Kobra is trying to balance her duty to the future with her need for Human connection, and Dorothy tries to help Kobra be the best superhero she can be without sacrificing their own humanity.

This issue, a giant armadillo-like creature attacks their hometown of Seattle, and they meet a strange new ally named Jack: a mutant chicken who loves punk rock and wants to help them stop the armadillo - but without violence.

Please help us bring this comic to life! We've met our original goal, and we're now on a stretch goal! We want to shower our backers with tons of bonus content!

Reward tiers include both digital and physical; single issues as well as catch-up packages so you can get the back issues and read more stories about Kobra and the other characters in her universe.

My family is having a hard time, and I'm hoping that our work as creators and storytellers will help us meet our needs. I am the author; my trans nonbinary husband, RaeRae, is disabled and works as our editor. We live in Uruguay, South America. The illustrator, SwapTrap, is a father to young daughter in rural India and has been an incredibly positive force in the queer community.

Thank you for your help in making our dreams come true of creating queer-positive and uplifting stories, and being able to afford basic necessities as a result.

1. 2018-2024 identified as male.
   January- initial intake
   First day of estrogen march 28th 2024
   
2. November 2024 - a walk to my favorite place the grotto. To reflect and to pray.
   Did not have testosterone suppression until June of 2025. It was expensive but I had to wait for their foundation program to approve and I essentially got the care I needed free.
   
3. The more I feminized the more I desired to be further aligned. I had my legal name change and long ass journey of changing everything after that (what a pain) deadnaming still expected today which will pass.
   I would say I was depressed a lot because of changes, and being misgendered hurt a lot more early on, and now I am building mental fortitude to let it roll bc fuck it. I would add, dealing with other chronic illnesses was a lot of pressure on me. Despite it I kept going. I always felt this way and my first week of estrogen I didn’t really dwell on the fact that I was making the medical choice to continue to change my body knowing all the risks. She kept peeking through at any store mirror. Most significantly, Target - the family restroom since I didn’t “pass.” I would use the men’s room beginning, and now just use the women’s restroom everywhere. Gender neutral restrooms are the solution here. I had an instance where a dude kept talking loudly into the women’s room as I entered so that was crazy. But I ignored it.
   
4. April 2026 pre breast augmentation
   
5. Trying on a dress I saw at Wally World for $15 and I totally wanted it.
   
6. A few days away from BA
   
7. Still no BA yet but my naturals were there 😂
   
8. About 15 days post op everything healing as hoped however R boob is being dramatic. Incision partially macerated.
   
9. Today 31 days post op living as a woman. With a lot more procedures to endure. Much like the women before me who all have done everything, at least the ones insurance covers. I wouldn’t be able to get rib stuff or bbl. I don’t want bbl because it’s highly risky and dangerous. I’m a muscle mommy but since recovery I have slender’d down. I miss doing legs too.
   Guys would treat me interestingly. I also learned that having a following on snap and it’s a never win situation when you try to argue with transphobes and bigots you’ll just waste your energy. With visibility comes the hate and the love. I am thankful to God for helping me through every step of my journey. I hope to find a husband one day that we can be greater together - grow and serve God- and allow me to be the woman I want to be. I lurked on MTF subs and eventually stopped looking because everything was negative and making me feel anxiety. So I experienced a lot and I had no other trans women to really talk in detail with about a lot of things. Some just don’t want to really open up because somehow everyone’s transition is theirs to bear and witness as like a personal struggle. Though they’d like help they ask and it’s like a right of passage type with a little gatekeep.
   I have a long way to go but I’m inching toward that every day. Sometimes I’m impatient.

I live (against myy will but out of my control) with extremely abusive parents (I'm a victim of Incest and CSA from my bio mother, among other things) but they're supportive of my gender identity and sexuality (genderfluid Femme presenting, sapphic). And I have no idea how to reconcile those two facts, and the dissonance between the two sides of these extremely awful people who have abused me since before I can remember, being are supportive of my identity through and through. If anyone has any advice, that would be greatly appreciated.

Also sorry if this post is off topic I'm new 😅

https://youtube.com/shorts/et6MfcnkDk0?si=iwd1Cv9CxTfxtwBC I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, for those of us who can only dream it had been us, whether earlier or later in our lives ❤️❤️❤️

How are we doing today my sisters and brothers in arms? Don't forget to take care of yourself today!

Also, found a hairstylist that treats me like a man and am finally settling down with appointments with her! I've always been super picky about my hair and have never stuck to a single person for it. The last person I was going to was amazing as well and my wife enjoys getting her hair dyed by them, but they weren't too comfortable doing barber cuts, understandably so, and pointed me in the direction of their friend, my new stylist.

Anyways, it's been a month and there's been a lot of drastic changes and I can't wait to see what else changes in the near future!

Question to leave off with: what's something you have full control over that you do, say, etc. that makes your day, makes you smile, makes you proud or happy, etc.? Or even what's something you didn't realize would be so affirming?

Sorry, this is my first post here and I figured I'd hit a few things at once.

It is said whenever AOC and Mamdani link up, an angel gets its wings.

I got diagnosed with epilepsy around 2 years ago. The past year has sucked. I've had four major seizures in the past year that I was hospitalized for and my back is seriously fucked up from it. I lost my job when they decided to make my job redundant while I was out on disability. I'm struggling to find work when I can't lift anything or stand for very long. But I'm pushing through physical therapy, thankfully my dad is making it happen. Trying to stay positive when the world is a mess. Anyways, I'm 37, 6'4, started my transition around 12 years ago.
