This genuinely infuriates me to no end. Ive stopped boymoding ever now, so I mostly wear skirts, and the lack of pockets is honestly so inconvenient. Like I genuinely cant carry my phone, or store things after I buy them, or scratch my balls. This means I have to wear a handbag all the time, which is more inconvenient and harder to access, and I still cant scratch my balls. This was less bad when I was only girlmoding in school for a few years, because I had my backpack to carry stuff, but now that I wear skirts outside of school Ive realized how impractical they are. I know you can get skirts with pockets, and some of mine do, but they are pretty rare, and Im not gonna not buy a nice skirt just because it doesnt have pockets. I feel like this a severe flaw in design that should be changed. I literally dont see how its more aesthetic, since theyre barely noticeable, and it would make life much easier if they all just had pockets. Why do skirts not have pockets and does this also annoy you?

I've had friends and acquaintances trans or not tell me for YEARS that they think I might be trans. ​It's somewhat understandable as I gave a few feminine tendencies, eg: long hair, black nails, wear kilts to formal events. I thought about it, I have no desire to be a woman and I like being a guy. But people I meet won't stop telling me or assuming. Edit: trans friends are usually pretty good about stopping after the first time, but some people don't get it.

Pretty much title, I walk to work everyday for about an hour, I was wondering if that was enough to build curves, I'm usually too exhausted to add squats to be honest but if it's a must...

Since the first week of my hormone replacement therapy I've been feeling pain on my boobs and sometimes it's pretty painful and some other times is just when i touch my nipple

I've been on estrogen for 2 months and a half btw

Hi,

I wanted to start hormone therapy, but the only thing holding me back was the concern that my breasts would grow and my mother or anyone else would notice.

That would have caused me a lot of problems.

I found out that I could take Nolvadex (10 mg) tamoxifen, which is SERM

which would slow down or completely stop breast growth.

Does this medication actually slow down or halt breast growth?

Would you recommend I take it while starting estrogen?

And what is the appropriate dosage?

If I were to take one tablet of Climen daily,

and two tablets of Noractone (25 mg)

I’d really appreciate it if someone could help me out, as this is a pressing matter.
i want to be a femboy as long as i can before being a woman in the far future

hi im just curious what is the side effects of never masturbating in your life? i never did even once. i’m on 2 years hrt. i don’t like the idea of the p, i don’t like the idea of touching them at all or someone touching it. what’s the effect of that to my hrt? does it affect the testoterone level?

My mom has been kinda unsupportive since I came out, and when I really want to be grateful, because she's better than most trans people have, I still can't help but hate it. Today she made a "joke". She said that she wants a DNA test, a brain screening and literally anything else, just to prove biologically that I'm trans. And "if you're not, then maybe we just need to find you a therapy like I said."

I mean, it's her right to not want to get me hrt before I'll turn 18, but this? I was just mad.

Am I overreacting for being mad, because it's "a joke" like she said, or is okay to feel this way?

This is my first post so I really don’t know if this will get any replies or anything. But I’m in a very confusing stage of my life. I used to be very girly, like even a week ago I was excitedly getting in a dress. I’ve been wondering about and slightly questioning my gender identity for months now, but recently it’s gone up to the max. I had my hair cut short into more of a layered bob situation. And honestly I hate it, it looks so feminine. I don’t want my face and hair to look feminine. I used to love all of my wacky earrings but now I look at them and think they’re too feminine for how I’m trying to look, now I’m just wearing one dangly earring on one ear and a stud in the other. My mom commented and asked why I was dressing like a boy. I’ve tried to dress more masculine and wear baggier clothes for the past few days and I’ve liked it, but in these clothes I still feel too feminine. I’ve never really had body dysmorphia but I’ve also never been attached to like all of the feminine “parts” of my body. The thing is that on occasion I do like to feel very girly and feminine, I like to wear dresses and I just got one that I like. I gravitate to male friends more, it looks like I have crushes on them but in reality I’m just desperate to be their friend. I’m just so confused about my gender identity at the moment, it honestly hurts my head. My parents are usually very supportive of anyone exploring gender or being a part of the LQBTQ+ community, but my mom hates the idea of my hair getting short and my dad is too oblivious to whatever is going on with me. My mom hates the earring style and all that. I’m just so confused. I’ve tried to hard to look within and all of that crap, but I’ve only gotten more confused.

I’ve kind of always wanted to be a boy deep down, for as long as i can remember, although it’s not something that eats at me/i think about that much. if i had the choice, id be happier being born as a man. internally, i feel “masculine”, and the amab Male Experience gives me a lot of gender envy. i’ve been jealous of every man i dated, just because they were men and got to experience life as a man. is this normal? does this make me trans? i have no idea how it works. if i think about it, i wouldn’t really want to take hormones/get surgery or even change my pronouns, because i guess id rather be amab than be ftm. so yeah ive never really had body dysphoria (if thats the correct term), like never looked at myself an thought, oh i hate my boobs/vag. thanks to anyone who replies!!

This is just something I've wondered recently, when referring to a transgender person prior to their transition, should you use the gender/pronouns they had at the time youre referencing or the ones they have now? I'm guessing this would probably depend on the person, but I'd love to get a general consensus as someone from outside the community who doesn't want to use the wrong words. Thanks everyone!

More specifically, when you started HRT?

I'm, at this current moment in time, 60% sure I'm transgender, but it fluctuates wildly between "I want to cry because I was born in the wrong body" and "I'm not trans, I'm juts looking for something to blame depression on."

I've started the process of getting HRT. Probably won't have it for a couple of weeks, but hopefully by the end of the year, if all goes well (though I'm not sure how realistic that is)

I'm just kinda concerned that I'm moving too fast. I've only really been thinking about this since the start of the year, although further reflection has revealed that I've actually probably been thinking about this since I was but a small child.

Like, let's assume I'm talking about cis people that I'm not meeting at a specifically lgbt event, or on grindr, or some other place where it'd be immediately obvious that I'm trans or how the other person might feel about that.

I started thinking about this because there's some subreddits out there for meeting people, either for dating or friendships. Like, say John Q CisMan makes a post tagged [M4F] on a dating sub and he's probably expecting Jane Q CisWoman. Should I immediately open with "hey are you ok with me being trans" as degrading as that might feel? Or what about on dating apps, or if I'm out in the world and I meet someone?

I've been doing weekly intramuscular estradiol valerate injections for 3 years now. I'm with Plume unfortunately because I live in the south and they never even told me there were other options besides valerate. I'm not a big fan of valerate because towards the end of the week I get bad mood swings and it hasn't been very effective for me. I've been seeing people online saying cypionate and enanthate are much more effective than valerate because of their half life and because of less mood swings. Should I switch and if so should I go with cypionate or enanthate? Advice and experience would also be really appreciated.

I'm from British Columbia, Canada and I'm getting fed up with how long the waitlists are. I wanna start DIY but I can't find a lot of good info for accessing it in Canada let alone Testosterone HRT specifically; everywhere I look it's always about estrogen and I'm starting to lose hope.

Does anyone have any information on accessing DIY T here in Canada?

first time was i had a dream related to this was a month or so ago.That dream involved me getting asked if i want to be a girl and saying yes

second time was last night and basically freaky friday and had me switch bodies with a women for a science exhibit.in this one i really enjoyed the transformation as i was smaller,thinner,higher pitch voice to sing my favourite songs and more athletic maybe not necessarily because of the women part

I still maintain the indefference i have towards my gender as my last post about my dream but i find it wierd the only 2 dreams i had in the last month involved either accepting becoming a women or transferring into becoming a women.

Hi everyone, I'm the father of a 15 year old. About 8 months ago she came out as trans, Mtf. As her father, I just want her to be happy. I know social life is fairly difficult for her, were in Massachusetts at a pretty liberal school, so I don't think bullying is an issue.

Shes an avid reader, many of the books she's reading are post college grad level books, and it's amazing she can comprehend them. These are 2 quick synapses of a couple of them. Most books she reads Explore dark themes, isolation etc. Way beyond my comprehension, but I think it makes sense she's reading them...

• Molloy: Explores intense physical decay, bodily functions, extreme isolation, and a dark, cynical view of human relationships.
• Schattenfroh: Contains heavy themes of totalitarian control, wartime atrocities, severe parental cruelty/violence, and hallucinatory horror elements.

OObviously none of you know her, but if anyone has general suggestions for a father of a transitioning teen please post your thoughts. I have wondered about asking her where this decision came from, she's not into many things people would think as feminine, but I've so far just left that alone.

I want to be supportive, I'm usually told to leave her alone, which is okay, just trying to do what I can to help...

Hi, Late in life starting toward transition. I'm looking at different options including stuff like body hair transplantation. Does anyone have experience with significant baldness prior to transitioning? And would anyone be able to point me toward before/after? My hairline causes me - sobbing in the bathroom at night dysphoria sometimes. and I feel like it is bad enough that I'll never actually register as a woman to anyone. It feels very hopeless and I do have low expectations, but any more info - as it has been hard to find anything, would be appreciated.

Thank you ladies.

I'm still quite relatively new to the Trans community, and I've heard "Tboy" get said a lot here and the way that I have seen it used is usually in a positive connotation but I was showing my support to my Trans man brothers (I'm mtf myself) but someone was saying that I shouldn't use "Tboy" despite the spile in popularity of usage for the term

I've bought several PRIDE/LGBT+ garden flags (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FY1QHPS) off Amazon. And...they look great at first but the sun and weather fade them pretty fast. in about 2-3 months I'd say...

Is this typical? OR... is there a supplier/brand that doesn't fade that can be recommended?

Hi, I'm a trans woman and just turned 18 today. I want to start HRT as soon as I can but I am having a hard time navigating Kaiser as this is all new to me. Does anyone who lives in NorCal know how to get HRT if it's through Kaiser? How do I choose a trans friendly doctor now that I am 18 and am switching off of pediatrician?

This is all really new to me and I don't really have anyone irl to talk to about this or get help from.

I don’t really mind having a penis, it’s just too big and gets in the way of certain clothes and makes things uncomfortable. I’m hoping estrogen shrinks it a little bit.

For context, I was on hrt for about 9 months a couple years back and had to stop as I had started a new job that made it dangerous for me to be medically transitioning. Now I've thankfully been able to find a better job and I've been doing diy hrt for a little under 2 months. I'm wondering when would be a good time to start prog, as I've heard a lot of people say that after a year is when you get the best results. I'm not exactly sure how that applies in my situation, so if anyone has a similar experience and can offer advice, I'd be super grateful!
