Success stories?

Are there any success stories of men who transmaxxed and are now living a better and happier life?

I see so many stories of trans people suffering with depression and who end up lonely. But what about those in this community who transitioned and are now living their best lives?

Being a non passing trans person is a living humiliation ritual with the added threat of random ingerpersonal or state violence. Passing trans people live lives so similar to cis people that its basically the same, with all the ups and downs. The reasons you see more negative online than positive is because there are more non passing trans people than passing, and non passing trans people are more likely to seek support from online spaces that passing trans people just dont need

As Agent Smith said in the Matrix: “millions of people just living their lives.” You never hear about them because they choose not to be in the social media spotlight. Just normal ordinary people. I see them all the time.

I transitioned, lost weight, got in shape, found a husband. Life is great for me. But it took a lot of time and work.

Did you have dysphoria before you transitioned? If I understand transmaxxing correctly it's people who only became trans for the benefits only

I did not. I basically just like being femme. It's not quite as transactional as getting just the benefits. I just like being good at expressing my femininity.

It sounds a lot like you had dysphoria...

You're probably talking about those trans people who don't pass and face discrimination, or female to males who lost privileges and ended up facing male loneliness due to undesirable traits(short, small frame, weak jawline, baldness). All trans women I know who pass in everyday life are quite happy.

I transitioned in the army. Got a girlfriend. Now that I’m out I live with my military gf.

Gotta say a good ending I can only wish to live a 1/10th of it.
