Just a relatively new chick here, wondering how it goes? I i have lot of internal conflict personally. I’m also stressing about the shit going on in parts of the US right now. Partially for myself, a lot for my (amab) son, whom I am questioning on gender/Sexuality. He’s young(elementary) but has some signs that make me(newly...
It all started about 37 years ago. I was born male and I was content. Sure, I was a bit disconnected, like I was just along for the ride and not really part of my own life. “That’s just how life is,” I thought. “Everybody feels this way, right? So why question it?” I certainly couldn’t talk to my verbally and...
I was talking to a workmate today about how much I love quiche. And I remembered the saying “Real men don’t eat quiche”. And back when I was in denial, before I could come out to anyone, I remember smiling from ear to ear as I would tell people I love quiche, and I guess that means I’m not a real man....

[he/him] I’m sorry if this is the wrong place to ask; I wanted to post in an active, trans people-focused community where I’d get answers that were for sure going to lead to a place that align with my values. Feel free to delete this but please explain to me if it’s offensive so I can correct my behavior going forward....
I was supremely anxious about starting for a long time, worried there would be sudden changes that would disrupt my social life or that I would get cold feet....
The title! What have you been up to this weekend?...
So I’m seemingly stuck wanting to medically transition, but perpetually fearful of doing so. I have the misfortune of living in Texas, as I have for most of my life, with no feasible way to leave any time soon, as well as having mostly unsupportive family - my parents especially…...
I know I am likely decades away from having proper health insurance and proper cash flow to even consider getting FFS and likely will never happen, but I am still curious what exactly and how do you really figure out what you need exactly and how it will look once fully healed.
I have been getting this sickness roughly around the 20th of each month, and I am starting to wonder is this a period? I usually get nausea and a headache, and I feel like I might be a bit moodier, but this could also be a result of me being sick.
I think I weighed like 180-200lbs when I started and honestly I feel like my transition has been useless because of this and I should of been denied hrt. And I look super ugly
I was talking to my hairdresser last week and she loves injections. Guess she forgets enough that pills everyday are too much for her. I’m taking mine in the morning, evening and then progesterone right before bed. So, three times a day I have to take pills. Guess I’m curious what your thoughts about the differences are and...
I hope everybody’s had a great week so far. I wanted to make some kinda post to engage everyone in a casual context. I was originally going to ask in the title “who has been really supportive in your life recently?” So if you want to answer that I suppose you can lol....
Did you have any recently? How recent? What was it?...
So writing this after I finished writing this out, this more just turned into a messy thoughtdump of general negative vibes ig, so like here it is...
This is my 5th week on hrt (2mg estradiol, 100mg Spiro) and I first noticed breast growth and pain right at the end of the 1st week. Then for the next two weeks my breasts were pretty painful and even leaked sometimes. Now last week they suddenly stopped hurting completely for the entire week, however today they are a tiny bit...
So, backstory: I started at a new position yesterday (finally able to leave Texas and move somewhere less hostile to my existence). I don’t disclose my gender during the hiring process because I don’t want to face discriminatory hiring practices, so no one knew I was transfem until my first day. My manager met with me before...
Hey all, i need some advice. Theres a person i have to deal with on a regular basis that repeatedly misgenders me, and im having issues dealing with it. I would appreciate advice on how to approach and deal with this cause im at a loss....
Is it because I’m slightly overweight and was before hrt, is it my chin fat. I’m just so dysphonic I don’t even feel like girl moding cause I’ll feel awful.
This was originally posted as a comment under an image in 196,but due to the popularity of 196 I decided to move it to a (Hopefully) less federally public space, due to harassment concerns....
I told her about my dream and I got this lovely back to me....
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....
