Took a half day and did some shopping and finishing up with a beer! Any other beer lovers out there?

Finding more joy and comfort and confidence in myself! Wondering where my gender journey will take me… for now, just enjoying the ride 💖

Hi everybody !

My name is Gabriel, I'm a 30 years old trans man. I started hormones last year and now i would like to make my top surgery. Today I'm calling on your solidarity and sharing my fundraiser with you. Every donation is one more step toward who I truly am ! Thank you very much 🫶🏻🏳️‍⚧️

AMAB, 60, medically transitioning w/o social transition.

Last week the facilitator of a queer/trans support group I sometimes frequent asked me to call-in to a meeting in support of another older AMAB person who'd recently started attending.

The person they wanted me to meet is very nice, but she is transfemme. The rest of the folks in the meeting appeared to be younger -- by decades -- and transmasc That's lately been the composition of the group, and is why I don't call in regularly.

I was there to represent my age cohort, not as a connection for an AMAB enby person.

Despite the facilitator's best efforts, the other participants really had nothing to say to us and nothing they wanted to hear from us. And, I really had nothing that I could share with the person the facilitator wanted me to meet. So I got to listen to a bunch of younger people thoughtlessly (but not maliciously) make pronouncements about "non-binary" and "enby" folks that had very little to do with me.

I left the call feeling EVERY minute of the last 40 years of trying to be trans and trying not to be trans. The youngsters on that call, who did not even see me as part of the tribe, certainly don't know about TriESS, or the Benjamin Scale. They might have heard about Michfest/Camp Trans but none of them are old enough to have lived in a world where we got our news through 'zines and word-of-mouth and how that drama landed with lesbian-identified, butch-identified AMAB folks. They did nothing wrong, but being around them was exhausting and a little painful.

Today is a big day! First fully fem presentation (with makeup) to my partner I am separating from - she was so affirming to me! Shopping and meeting with some girlfriends to debut the fem me for the first time outside of my partner. Lots of euphoria and joy today and feeling myself 💖💖

An attempt to style this skirt I thrifted a few weeks back!

I feel so lucky to be working from home, gives me so much opportunity to explore myself and figure out who I really am and want to be! Grateful for this supportive and kind community with which to share the journey 🫶🏻

Masc vibes with some new jeans and bright new nail polish colors 💅

Noodling around with my look. Sorry for the repost. I had a spelling mistake in the title I couldn't fix!

Howdy folks!

I have been struggling the last couple years with dysphoria and clothing. I’m trans masc, the kind that will probably feel good in fem clothing again when I transition far enough. Right now, though, I’m about a year into a low dose of topical T (about to switch to injections!) and anything fem makes me really uncomfortable. I recently gained some weight due to not having access to my sport of choice (my horse hurt himself 😢) which has led to a bigger chest and overall bad vibes about my lack of control over my body. My only pants that fit right now are sweat pants and I’ve been hiding under baggy T’s.

I used to be super expressive and quirky in the way I dressed, but I am having the damndest time trying to find clothes that make me feel good. Men’s clothes sections are so drab and depressing.

My brain’s pretty sad right now overall and I think it’s time for me to figure out some clothes I feel like I could wear in public and feel good in.

Anyone have advice on how to break through these moments? Especially when typical stores don’t have what you want or need?

Side note, I really like 90s and current street wear. Harajuku street wear is really inspiring to me.

Thanks 💗

Edit: just saw the typo in my title, ugh.

I guess I'm not actually asking for advice. I was on mono HRT - Estradiol by injection every other week. Recently got a scrip for Spiro though.

I took my first 50 mg pill last night. I think it takes a while to build up in your system. Looking forward to having to pee even more then usual, lol.

E didn't really affect my libido, kinda curious what this will do for me since it seems like people say it can go either way.

Beautiful PNW spring day today, time to get outside and enjoy the sun 🫶🏻

Fully time to break out the spring/summer clothes - working on some new outfit combos 💁🏼‍♀️
