I wish I had that bucket of magic, button or any other instant perfect fixes. Sadly I have not found it yet so in the meantime I try to get on HRT and possibly FFS depending on the effects of the former and how my therapy is going. Tomorrow is my second appointment :3

I am glad that you found more confidence and hope that this community will continue to be good for you.

I don’t know anyone else nor have I seen (consciously) any other trans person in IRL. Now I hyper focus so much on my own body and its features that I don’t think I can make any reasonably accurate assessment about mine or anyone else’s body because of my own distorted views.

Welcome and happy to meet you!

I myself started this journey just a few months ago. I long had the same experience, to keep my wish to be a girl confined to games and fantasies.

Growing up in the 90s as well, there was (and still is) a lot of homophobia in my home village. So as a kid I figured anything more exotic surly would mean social suicide. In a small village of 5000 people not really a good option. When you can’t leave or change schools. So I pushed that part deeeeeeep down but I also had several occasions where I really should have noticed that it does not work like that but I didn’t.

Besides as a 13year old to wear your sisters clothing and feeling amazing is a totally cis boy thing to do… :3 but also don’t tell anyone about it.

I told my wife last December that I have these fantasies and we are working things out now together. It is good that you have your wife’s support, to me it has been invaluable! We were visiting my family in Germany at the time so I am extra curious to hear more about your journey in my old home! I also will have too look into these things myself as I am still a German citizen.

If you need someone to talk to just sent me a DM I just happen to have just finished my BSc in Psychology and embark now on a mission to find a job! (Meaning I’ve got some time on my hands)

Welcome again,

Maple

Hii hope you are well! For the dress you could add a small belt to it or try a white bolero kind of top?

I like your har too!

Hii Natalie! I’m pleased to meet you. I don’t have a name yet as I am still working things out for myself. So Maple will do fine.

Since you are into Linux, what would be your top 3 tips for migrating from MS to Linux? I am dragging my feet on that one tbh.

Have you had a good Easter Time in Sydney? Do you celebrate?

Oh sorry, I should have been clearer, my wife is in the know and is supportive. She has been invaluable in that regards but I know she is cis and technically straight only with a past curiosity about women.

I thought about that a while now and I am not sure who actually in my life would support it besides my wife. I am sure it will create a proper rift in my family between those who do and those who don’t but I have no way of knowing who is going to be on which side.

I wish that I had the courage to follow up my cross dressing as a 13 year old. Dare to ask why it feels so good to wear a bra. But instead I felt shame and pushed it away. Now I am past 30 and at least find comfort in the fact that it’s not too late and that there is still time.

So I guess I am saying that I feel your point of view more than the meme. Though I also think the meme is trying to say that if you questioned for a long time that it is okay and that you needed that time. Then again it is a meme and they often don’t want to say anything but make a silly joke.

I wish you all the best on your way forward, I can’t provide you with any real help as I am still trying to work things out on my own and don’t know much about it all. I just want you to know that we are here to support you where we can!

Ps. I love your cat - so cute!

Thank you, it is good to hear that you have had this doubt but persevered. It gives me hope that I too can do this one day. I am just so afraid and don’t even know of what exactly.

Yay, at least I am not alone with that.

Tbh I would stop thinking if I could. Though I feel more like a cat though, could stretch it to otter and red panda but not puppy.

How do you stop second guessing yourself :3? Asking for myself

I feel called out.
