So, my Endocrinologist appt. is in November. I know it’s only three months, but it feels forever away. So, I guess I was wondering, has anyone here worked with Folx? What is their response rate like? Do they do blood work to monitor your hormones levels? How does that work, a referral to a local clinic? Is it worth the...

Hi all! I recently had a personal renaissance regarding my gender, then I found this community. So, let me introduce myself:...

I want to preface by saying for decades I’ve had uncomfortable nightmares about school, not knowing where I’m going, being bullied and harassed, constantly running late. It’s never been a good experience when that dream comes up....

“Wow is all I can say. We can talk tomorrow. I love you.”...

Hey yall!...

So I’ve been struggling for months to find a name that clicks with me. I keep stumbling on names which feel like the one, then a few minutes to a few days later the name loses its sway on me. I feel like I just have to finally pick something so I can move on with my life, but I’m really not having much success. I keep...

As a person just beginning my transition journey, I find that it is very easy to get caught up in the doom and gloom mentality, since there is so much negativity surrounding trans people right now....

For context I have a genetic hair condition that almost all the AMAB peopleband one or two of the AFAB people on my dad’s side of the family have that means my hair will only ever grow a tiny bit before breaking and falling out. I currently haven’t been able to start hrt yet so maybe that will make it grow out but since...

TW: (perceived?) Transphobia...

Is it something my instance mods can fix, would them defederating a long list of transphobic instances stop transphobic comments or do the instances who’s communities I post in need to block more instances?

since 2021. Irrelevant context: I came across the Gender Dysphoria Bible with the TERF comment under, (not so) funnily enough r/translesbian, of...

Hello everyone! 😊...

I feel like I need to get this off my chest…...

CW:VentingI feel like I just really need to vent, the past month or so has been hard for me. I have been getting misgendered more and more often, I feel like I went backward, (gained weight maybe) I can hardly look at myselfd a ton of the time I feel so awful. Today was kinda a boiling point, I went somewhere with my dad (who...

Hi I’m Elise. I like nature and gardening, art and drawing, mathematics and programming, and most of all I love nice people and encounters....

Tl;Dr: the title of the post...

When I talk to myself, sometimes I call myself my dead name, or my gender I don’t associate myself with. I am self-aware enough to know I’ve associated myself as male and [name] for thirty-seven years, but it annoys me I haven’t made that connection in my brain somewhere that yes, I’m a girl, my name is Eshe. I feel it...

Since my last post I got my HRT 4 days earlier than I expected. Based on my last post you probably might’ve expected me to hem and haw about it. Myself I was gonna wait until the middle of the week for my first dose, but I couldn’t contain myself. I took my first dose as soon as I could, like literally. I felt great the next...

It’s the night before I take my next E shot and all day it’s been hard for me to regulate my emotions, but is such a wide gamut of emotions....

I’m so excited to be leaving Texas finally!! I’ve lived here my whole life and just got a really exciting job in the Northeastern US. My partner (who is also trans) and I are so pumped to be out of here. Manifesting everyone else who’s living in a dangerous area can get the opportunity to leave like I have. Here’s hoping...

I’m sure I’m not alone in having cravings that seem to come out of nowhere and never really get satisfied. What are some cravings you all get and what seems to satisfy them best?...

Hi, I’m gonna reintroduce myself, first. I went by VirulentAura, and have been kinda active this past week posting, if anyone actually cares. I decided to change it up, cuz I was tired of lemmy.world being down, and, I dunno, I wanted to use my name. Preface aside, please be advised that the content may be troubling to some....

Last week I read the gender dysphoria bible and after a few days thinking about it I am coming to accept that I am trans. Everything clicked into place and I feel like I’ve been electrified. My mindset is completely different and I am actively looking forward to things happening in my life. I want to come out and transition...
