  • Aren’t people who are NOT medically gender dysphoric able to receive HRT nowadays

    In civilised countries, yes. And that is a good thing. Not having dysphoria does not mean that someone is not trans and this gatekeeping is a huge part of the problem,

    teens can start transitioning just because it’s cool.

    This literally doesn’t happen and is just fear mongering. Also it’s presenting transitioning as the only choice. Guess what, not transitioning and going through puberty with the hormones that your body produces is also a choice.

    Interesting that comments like yours creep up in a time where the Trumptard propaganda machine tries to vilify trans people.

    Hey there =)

    It’s nice that you may have found yourself! Despite all the anti-trans programming that you have probably endured in your life (I am in my 30s as well and have transitioned for only a year now, so I might now a bit about it too) you have decided to go the first step towards finding out who you are: Questioning the status quo and the erroneous null-hypothesis, that everybody is cis.

    It took me years to accept that I am in fact trans femme and even when I started with HRT, I wasn’t entirely sure until I felt the changes, both mentally and physically.

    How do I find out for sure?

    Well, do you want to be a girl? Then click here: https://turnmeintoagirl.com/ It’s that easy!

    Also, I can really recommend Doc Impossible’s blog. A couple of choice entries: https://stainedglasswoman.substack.com/p/how-to-figure-out-if-youre-trans

    Am I allowed to be a trans lesbian because I’m not attracted to men?

    Absolutely you are.

    Can I even come out, when it will ruin my whole life?

    This one is tricky. I thought it would ruin my life and I thought that people would hate me and that randos on the street would threaten me and… nothing of the sort has happened. Turns out most people are quite normal in the real world in that they do not turn into raging transphobes when they have an actual trans person in their lives. Most people on the street won’t even care. It does of course matter where exactly you live. Trust your instincts to keep you safe. Moving to a more progressive area might be necessary.

    I’m jealous of the youth, being old sucks.

    I had these exact thoughts friend. Turns out, I was just afraid of being ugly, because I am old. Which is of course a heavy heap of internalized misogyny (aka. women can’t be >30 and be pretty). Took me a while to clean my head of such non-sense and now I think I am quite attractive. For the first time in my life mind you.

    Now I have a question for you!

    What do you want us to call you? Do you have a name in mind? What do you think would feel good? =)

    EDIT: Be warned, the link still makes me cry it turns out haha

    EDIT2: Oh, also watch the movie “I saw the TV glow” and see how that one makes you feel :3 Be warned tho. Very emotional.






  • I can wear the clothes I want to wear every day without being hate crimed (well, except for if they’re tight in the crotch… :(

    Sis, just in case you haven’t heard of them but gaffs (sometimes called tucking underwear) has helped me sooo much with this. Some brands like Rubies even have bikini bottoms that work the same magic. Maybe it’ll help you as well :3

    Overall great list tho, thank you for sharing!
