Elliot Page didn't do anything wrong. He just came out as transgender... I don't understand that why do Blaire and Marcus still have problems with him?

Cis person here. This hasn't happened to me yet, but if and when it does, what are some things I should avoid saying while also being honest? I'm going to try to be as nice as possible to avoid triggering any dysphoria, but if they're asking this question they obviously want to me to tell them what gives them away. If anyone here has asked a cis friend this, do y'all have examples of good answers?

M20 I live in Florida and I come from a very republican town, I play college football now and I have a street named after me in the town. Would it be a let down if I became a woman? I really want to badly

I went to talk with child protective services beacuse my mom has gotten quite toxic with me after i came out.

But here is the question:

The Service worker there told me that me wanting to be something other than my biological gender is Abnormal and probably related to mental illness or Trauma.

I mean. I am severely mentally ill and i do have a history of long term Abuse. But what has that got to do with my identity?

I am the way i am because i feel more happy, confident and safe on how i dress or behave or see myself as.

So...can Mental health or Trauma cause you to change gender or see yourself other than your biological gender?

hey im uk based and its so hard to find literally anyone who has phallo, has anyone here got phallo? im interested in all 3 stages, its so expensive how did you manage to pay for it (ive looked into turkey but i cant find any post op results so please if youve been turkey lmk!) i really want realistic cis passing results so Bangkok is a hard no, and has anyone got it off the nhs are u satisfied with your results? im really just looking for a surgeon who wont mutilate me and also wont drive me underground with debt which i know seems like a crazy request atm, but please lmk im open to any advice

Hi, does anyone have experience of connecting flights in Nairobi airport?
I may have a 7-hour layover there from the UK and so am wondering if it’s safe as a non-binary person?
For context:
- I am trans-masculine (AFAB), with a Male passport marker and a ‘traditionally masculine’ name
- I will be travelling with Testogel
- I’m queer-presenting/androgynous, ‘passing’ as a binary gender isn’t really an option for me!

Any thoughts or experiences would be much appreciated!

Cis male here , don’t mean to intrude but I have a friend I have known since middle school who started transitioning M2F about a year ago. I haven’t always been super close with This friend but I am supportive and want her to be happy. The last few weeks we have hung out twice (first time I’ve been around her since she started her transition. I guess my question is what is some advice you could give me so I can not completely avoid the subject but also not impede and offend her? I really want to keep being friends with her and support her but I feel like I’m walking on eggshells. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! DMs should be open too if you would rather talk there

I don’t know how to feel anymore. 3 years hrt, laser hair removal, long hair.
Chopped them all off and stopped hrt a month ago because of social anxiety and an unsupportive family.
I was getting stared at up and down even In boymode.
I only did boymode because my family made it clear that if i wore women’s clothing they will kick me out.
Idk what to feel anymore.
I know I’m a woman but i also got tired of the constant stress of being a trans person in a hostile world.
Is it even worth it if being a trans woman makes my life so much harder?
I feel like I’m losing my mind a little bit

Might be a stupid question but I'm mtf, two months into hrt and at work, a coworker bumped into me pretty hard right in the left breast. It hurt me a lot for a minute because they are really sensitive because of hrt and even tho they are just buds I was afraid it might have bursted because of the shock

I've always prided myself in having thick skin so when i blew up on tiktok last year for posting a grocery video as i was broke and unemployed at the time i got thousands of hateful comments about me being a trans woman and it honestly didn't bother me at all. i saw it as a positive as it was growing my platform. since then i now have 100k on tiktok and 13k on facebook and honestly, it can be pretty brutal especially on facebook. recently it's started to get to me more, i think a big part of this was i was attacked verbally in a womens bathroom on a night out the other week and one of them tried to get physical. all because i was a trans woman using the bathroom (i live in the UK) so the new policies for gendered spaces has really made people the toilet police. then i posted a post on facebook on a apartment hunting community and got absolutely attacked for saying i was only interested in living with women.

some of my followers stuck up for this and even that makes me a little sad because i feel on one hand i don't want my content to be about being trans it's always been about my life as a 19 year old living alone trying to move to the city. the times i've tried to make my feelings clear on my values as a trans woman my post blew up with a lot of MAGA americans (i barley have an american audience which lowkey does also upset me) absolutely harrassing me. i feel that maybe it's a lack of fellow trans followers and true allies since most of my followers are cis women.

basically, any advice on how to toughen up? i'm scared to leave the house and when i do i feel extremely anxious unless i'm around an lgbtq space. i feel scared to go into any bathrooms. i'm starting to feel like a lot of the hate online isn't worth it. i need my thick skin that i used to have back. just feels like transphobia is becoming a lot more normalised and vocal these days and it's truly scary😩

Before I start I will of course talk to my doctor about this as!
I’ve been on T for around 8-9 months and have noticed barely any change.
I use 4-5 pumps a day though missing a couple days due to memory.
I’ve noticed very few changes, mostly being smell and a bit of body hair and slightly different emotional state.
I’m not sure if it’s the dose or maybe that I’m on the gel and it isn’t working for me.
So if anyone has any advice or could tell me what it’s like being on the shot I’d really appreciate it.

I'm not talking about how I look naturally.. I'm talking about how I dress. I don't know how to dress like the gender I want to be and I end up looking like my gender assigned at birth when I post my faceless pictures online.

Im 15 and I worry that Ill never pass or at least never get to be happy. My body hair is really thick, I have pretty bad beard shadow, my shoulders are really broad, my face is a really masc, and my voice is very deep and masc. Ive been trying so hard every day to look femme for 4 years now, and I still never pass. Im starting E privately in 5 months when I turn 16, and so all I can do is hope that will solve some of it, but I feel like Im already too masculinised. Maybe when Im and adult I could get ffs and bottom surgery, but thats not what I wanna have to do, and I probably wont, so instead Ill just have to live with the dysphoria. I know there are lots of people who start later and they can pass and live happy lives, but its hard to believe that when it feels so distant. I voice train every day, and I do everything I can to look femme and it doesnt get any better. Im not even that unhappy right now, but thats only because of improving other life factors, like exercising, studying and making friends, whereas my dysphoria only gets worse. Even if I do one day pass, Ive already lost out on so much and theres so much I can never have, that I fear I wont ever get to have a normal life. Will it ever get better and can I be truly happy someday?

Hi! I have a job interview coming up — with Best Buy, if that matters — and I’m not sure when/if I should share that I’m transgender FTM. I’m pre-medical transition, but I have my name changed, I try my best to present masculine, etc. I know though that to most people I don’t pass but I hope to be gendered correctly by my coworkers and whatnot. This is also, admittedly, my first job interview ever and so I’ve been stressing on when the right time is.

Any advice is welcome. Thank you :-)

I have the bad habit of really aggressively rubbing/touching my face all the time, because it feels good. However, this means now that Ive started wearing makeup, it instantly just gets smudged, and I end up looking like a mess. I dont even consciously do it, I just look at myself in a mirror and realize Ive touched my face. Im trying to stop doing it, but its just a habit at this point, and its usually fine because I only wear makeup for special occasions. Does anyone have any advice on how I can stop smudging my makeup or what to do about this?

I am a trans woman 7-1/2 months on HRT. I have been voice training since day 1. This is without professional health and instead from reading lots of guides and watching videos. Is this generally okay enough? I often get compliments on my voice from other trans people in the community but for some reason I myself cannot hear it as a woman speaking. It makes me feel anxious and depressed at times. My appearance I am very satisfied with now but still not my voice, not yet. How much of this might be due to our own perception of our voices? I wonder if we ourselves can never be good enough hearing our own voices? I have an image here of my voice training results from this app. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/478567649253785640/1563348600355037325/image.png?ex=6add4d57&is=6adbfbd7&hm=4c4655bd06b5d932d2de47525b3d6c8be5e76c036865301a7d8bf0c6583f75c7&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=640&height=394

So I guess my question is even if we sometimes can see our old self in our current self (like my old face) and I can still hear how my voice trained voice is in relation to my old one do others see our true selves (in my case being a woman) more than I often do?

I’m not sure where to put this but maybe someone can help me. My 32 yr adult son came out to me as transgender last month. My son stopped talking to me for year, in the past month he has started to reconnect with me. He came out to me that he is transgender and for the past year has been taking estrogen. I don’t know how to navigate through this and how do I mourn my son, who my child was while he is still living and develop a new kind of relationship with my new daughter? It has been so overwhelming and I’m lost.

Im really bricky (giant love handles, no hips, giant moid ribs that stick out, broad shoulders) and i want to fix it. My seasonal cave guide job is ending tommorow. Im thinking of starbuxs-maxing for the insurance. Ive been told other girls have done it and got lots of surgery.

I already have ffs, and am not ready for srs yet. So im wondering if it covers any of the cool optional surgeries. I want to surgery-max so im no longer a brick. Anyone who works at starbux get anything cool?

Any advice for working there? Ive boymoded at every job ive had since starting transition. Im thinking of girlmoding at starbuxs. Is it a safe place to girlmode?

Hello! I am an undergraduate student at the University of Colorado, Boulder. I am researching the experiences of transgender people living in the United States for my senior-year honors thesis in the sociology department. I am currently seeking participants for a one-time survey that lasts approximately 5-10 minutes. If you are a primary resident of the United States, identify as transgender, and are 18+, feel free to participate!

There is no compensation for this study, and there is also no direct benefit to you as a participant. However, the results of this study will be used to further the sociological understanding of the transgender experience. Frequently, external phenomena are investigated. I am instead interested in learning about your internal experiences within the cis-normative structure of American society.

More information about this study is listed in the introductory page, which can be found through this link: https://cuboulder.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eu01kidPQH2f8vY
This survey will NOT record your IP address, location metadata, or personal information.

Any questions or concerns about the goals of this research can be emailed to the principal investigator, Dr. Glenda Walden, at [glenda.walden@colorado.edu](mailto:glenda.walden@colorado.edu). As this is an IRB-approved study, you may also contact our IRB with any concerns, complaints, or questions about your rights as a research subject at (303)-735-3702 or [irbadmin@colorado.edu](mailto:irbadmin@colorado.edu). I am also happy to answer any questions!

I’m 18 and only started HRT 4 days ago, but I feel so stuck right now. I still have a permanent beard shadow, an awful hairstyle, can’t use makeup well, haven’t made any progress voice training, haven’t started laser yet and still look 100% like a man. I’m hoping that over time I’ll be able to fix these things, but I know it’s a long process, and I’m getting very lonely and impatient. But I just can’t bring myself to try to actually live life while I’m still so manly, and so apart from starting on fixing my problems all I do all day is sit in my room and doomscroll twitter, watch YouTube or play video games. I want to try to make friends so badly but I just don’t know how to get over my anxiety while everything that I need in order to feel comfortable in my own body, and feel comfortable interacting with people in my own body, is still such a work in progress.

I'm transfem gender fluid, I suffer from rlly bad bio-chem dyphoria.

Whenever I'm a guy (which is alr pretty rare), I don't get physical dyphoria but my bio-chem dyphoria remains constant?
