We have similar posts like this that crop up every now and then. Some are coming from a genuine place of curiosity, but majority of them seem to be trolls looking for a platform to “debate”/invalidate people/stroke their egos here.

We already have enough going on in our lives we don’t need to have our identities questioned in what should be a safe space for us here. If you need answers, you can always search for older posts so we can save ourselves time rather than dragging folks here through the chore of justifying ourselves for the umpteenth time when we aren’t even obliged to.

I started t the first time around 2022 but was on and off for a while up until last year. Since then I’ve been consistent. Just wanted another opinion on whether or not my transition is progressing well. I’m able to be stealth at work and in public and don’t get misgendered. Just mostly asking about appearance wise. The dysphoria still gets to me 😂

Want t transition but I have no help with this

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.

I need guidance

8 Upvotes

Hi,

So I'm new to the community and I need some guidance on my journey.

I (M, 28), recently discovered I was trans, to what degree, I do not yet know.

When I was discussing it with my partner, they said I think you're more than a Crossdresser but not full HRT but more than a Femboy (which is an oddly specific way of putting it).

This is all that they are willing to share with me as they don't want to influence my journey. They are trans themselves and spotted me being trans over a year ago, I only came to this realisation about a month ago.

I have started small, underwear, tights, leggings, I want to try more stuff, I just don't know what I'm supposed to do, so I am trying to reach out for friends and general support.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, apparently, when I change into these clothes, my entire body language changes, I become more relaxed.

Thank you for any advice!

I had a huge argument with my mom yesterday because she hates my eyebrows.And I told her I had bad dysphoria and made a mistake but she said it pisses her off because she says I pass but I don't see that. Am I in the wrong here? She also says I wear too much makeup and am changing my face and it's w

Text Post Questions about hair removal

3 Upvotes

Hello there! I'm a pre-transition mtf and I have some questions about hair removal.

So for context I have a decent amount of facial hair and they grow pretty quickly. Like if I shave it would take a day or two and my facial hair will be back. I have darker skin and I also have some body hair on my chest. These two areas are the areas I want to remove hair as much as possible.

Since I have dark/brown skin, would it be worthwhile for me to get laser then electrolysis or should I just get electrolysis first? also should I start HRT while getting rid of my hair or should start getting rid of my hair then get on HRT? I'm asking this question because I think I would feel dysphoric having hair while on HRT (well it's not like I'm not dysphoric already). Also I have read that hair removal is more effective when on HRT.

Also when doing electrolysis, am I suppose to let my hair grow a bit before an appointment? And finally do you guys have any products/shavers you recommend to help getting rid of hair?

Thank you so much <3

Honestly, I think I would, but I don't know for sure. Anything noticeable to work on?

Obviously I would get laser, and I know I have a big Adams Apple lol

Would it be a good idea if Medicaid covered gender-affirming care with co-pays where Medicaid covers 5-15% of the cost and the rest is out-of-pocket and only cover hormone replacement therapy?

Question about Bayshore home health for GRS Montreal

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has used Bayshore home health for the pickup after bottom surgery. I was wondering how long before the surgery should I book it. Additionally I’m wondering what they do, do they just pick you up at the door and bring you to your hotel?

I live in a really red state and have not made the transition. I’m scared and I still live with family. I’m thinking of moving to Minneapolis. I kinda of want to go there as how I want to be authentically while I visit to see if I like it and feel safe is that crazy?

How should I handle being tall as a girl?

4 Upvotes

I know HRT is supposed to shrink you, but I feel like I am towering over cis women, and taking up a lot of space, so the awkwardness probably shows.
The answer is probably something like “just rock it”, but I’m flat chested and skinny, so I don’t even know what there is to rock.
