okay you’ve convinced me. I’ll deal with those bothering troublemakers

Edit: replied to the wrong comment but whatever

Idk I’m eepy too and social interactions scare me

Maybe if another transmasc steps up I can be support

Yeah now I’ve realised that gay relationships are superior and that straight cis people are weird for not choosing to become gay

The first time I actively remember hearing about someone being transgender was when Kaitlin Jenner came out and did an interview about it. Interviewer asked if her being trans and attracted to women meant she was gay and I remember her saying no and I got really confused after that. I was super fascinated by the idea of changing ones gender but at the time I kind of decided that the topic was too complicated for me to investigate further.

Funnily enough 2 of my childhood friends are transmen who came out and transitioned after I lost contact because we went to different schools. Would have be interesting to share experiences with them when I was younger, maybe I’d have figured out my own identity sooner.

It doesn’t really matter though, I see lots of people on here who are transitioning or transitioned later in life and even though it might be a bit more difficult because we’ve been through puberty already, I’m sure we’ll all end up fine :)

yay

Ngl I don’t know how women do it. I used to shave my legs years ago because society demanded it of me but it takes so long and grows back so fast!

I’m not far in my transition at all, I started dressing a bit differently but due to medical reasons I can’t bind. Someone called me a young man today though and I didn’t expect it.

I’ve been gender ambiguous before so it’s not really new to me for people to assume I’m a guy but it feels differently now that I know I’m actually trans.

Was at a sports tournament a few years ago and one of the contestants had a wodka bottle as their water bottle.

That sucks for all parties involved. Therapy can help but in the meantime it might be worth it to look into some good quality ear plugs or noice cancelling headphones. I relate to the anxiety that the sound can reappear at any moment, and it’s truly awful. Wearing ear plugs makes me feel a lot safer because it gives reassurance that I won’t hear anything as long as I keep them in so it gives me control of the situation. I now always wear them as soon as any sound triggers my misophonia and it has made my symptoms a lot more manageable. My tolerance became higher because I’m no longer constantly in a state of stress.

Please keep posting I love your posts!

Fr though I have a chronic illness and internet connection sometimes fill a space that most irl connections can’t for some reason.

Very easy to explain! After I came out to my therapist I felt a bit of pressure to appear more masculine to show that I really ‘meant it’ because when I told them I thought I was trans they asked whether my dysphoria could actually be dysmorphia due to SA (I actually thought this too for a long time before I sought therapy).

But although I’m transmasc I still like wearing skirts sometimes and thus I decided to wear one to kind of step outside of the box I made for myself and my therapist.

(They didn’t make a comment about it)

Wore a skirt today to confuse my therapist

Thanks for sharing! It’s nice to know that my experience isn’t that unique :)

I’ve heard that the transition process can really change ones perspective on surgery and stuff which is why I keep an open mind. I don’t worry about it, but it’s very silly to have these internal contradictions. I was also very sure that I didn’t want any surgery at first lol but now I’m definitely open to it.

A few years ago when I was definitely very cis I dug into the rabbit hole of gender affirming surgery for trans men and was super fascinated by how advanced the industry is. I’m sure it was just my innocent curiosity and that it doesn’t say anything about my internally hidden desires :)

I love trans men and recognising trans men and being recognisable as trans man. Cis people should just not interact with me tbh.

She’s rage baiting, don’t take any of her words seriously. Obviously she’s mean but she doesn’t care about that because she gains attention from it.

Yeah binding sucks, I don’t even like wearing a bra. But at the moment it’s sufficient, I just wear clothes that hide my breasts. Maybe I will change my mind later on. Being able to swim without any top is kind of a dream

I love to make people feel comfortable in my home and I feel like taking off shoes helps with that because it makes a visit much more personal and homely for the guest. Shoes off is so much more comfortable, I don’t understand why anyone would want to keep their shoes on in someones home.

I live in a place where it’s abnormal to remove your shoes as guest but no one has ever complained.

Get some layers in there if you’re getting it cut. I used to like hairstyles where I only took the top part of my hair in a ponytail, bun or braid. To get the right part of your hair: start with your thumbs where your ears start and grab the hair by moving your thumbs to your crown. Then bind that part in a ponytail. This is a starting point for many cool hairstyles from easy to more advanced.

I also used to start like that when creating a French braid because it’s easier.
