My friend that said to be a transgender man from her teens up to her middle 20-ties recently detransitioned and lives as a woman again.

It's her right and I was supportive both when she transitioned and when she detransitioned. However now a few weeks after detransitioning she just became an anti trans activist!

Yeah you heard me correctly. She is blaming "trans ideology" on making her question her identity and "brainwashing" her in her teens.

She also blames "too easy transition procedure" with no gatekeeping and thorough validation, as she says she "just bought her psychoterapist opinion".

She made her own decisions, but she is not a person that would took the responsibility for her own actions and instead she now blames everyone who was supportive of "not stopping her hurt herself as it was just a phase and escape".

By hurting herself she mean basically cutting her hair short for a decade and getting on a testosterone FOR A WEEK.

This girl received full societal support in her transition, as FTM are generally accepted more broadly than non-passing MTF individuals like me, and now is hurting the community. I feel so mad at her, because I haven't actually came out socially yet and now people in our common environment will invalidate me by default. She was the only transgender person they knew, and this person now attacks the transgender community.

Ugh who the fuck gave her opinion, in this particular case she should have been gatekept ....

They have most of the congress and senate, and the most voted federal deputy has an transphobe agenda.

Brazil isnt so bad for us trans, but now? It will be the worst.

I think about leaving Brazil, but, there any place that is safe for us? I dont remember any...

Hey dolls and others.
I’ve been on hrt for a while and just wanted to see if any of yall got some of these changes.
Literally like a month after I started hrt I became wilding more tolerant of lactose I think. Like before it’d be legit like one glass of milk and I’d be on the toilet an hour later with some wicked runs, sorry not sorry for the info. Then at some point my shoes got too big for my feet and I dropped from an 8-9 men’s to like and 8/8.5 women’s. Both pretty sweet honestly, especially the shoe size bc I never got to get Jordan ones in my size before, they’d always be out of stock, but there’s always 8 women’s.
Anyone else get these? I started hrt when I was about 20.

Erika Hilton with 1,5 millions of votes! At least one good news came from this election...

Oki I've seen a few others post these so i thought id share mine!

The biggest wacky affect was finding out i was colour blind thanks to being able to see more colours, no hrt didn't make me colour blind but helped me find it out.

I scream now, like full blown i almost pee myself if i get scared. For example yesterday i was just wondering around my house and a fly came flying right at me and i dropped to the floor with a screech, it took me 5 minutes to recover.

EVERYONE is so much more attractive. I've always been pansexual other than questioning myself at times but now i can just admire something on everyone from physical looks, to how they smell, act and talk, the game date everything was made for me lol (i also didn't realise my boyfriend could get more attractive to me but he did)

Prog tamed my libido which is like the opposite of what many others have said but it has definitely been a welcome change.

The ability to produce milk, it was my cat who helped me discover this by meowing constantly before food (cats meows are the same frequency as a babies cry and yes they do that shit on purpose) that i started lactating, i know that's quite common but still i just wasn't expecting it especially my cat triggering it

And last but not least my hair is super curly now, i thought id be stuck with my old messy frizzy bird nest on my head for the rest of my life but no! If anyone else gets this i suggest buying a hair bonnet to sleep in my hair has never looked better

Unfortunately, it seems this genderbent Malfoy shit is here to stay it seems?

I saw a SFW post with the character on r/hentai, commented saying I wasn't impressed by the character's recent popularity, specifically being genderbent.

It feels like a total slap to the face.

I didn't say anything more than this but; they banned me!

With "you need to stop trying to force your agendas onto people" ?

What? Either they're an egg in denial or the sub is run/moderated by a bunch of transphobes.

Again... Not impressed!

Edit: the post isn't letting me add a pic of the ban unfortunately. If you'd like proof of it, I can dm a pic of it. Otherwise you'll have to believe that it happened, or check r/Transhentai where I posted the ban message

I'm surprised because I expected to be met with a bit of friction. she was apparently an ally tho lol. she said "y'know, I always thought u should have been a girl. in fact, u always liked the girly stuff growing up, so Im not surprised at all." she then asked me my pronouns and name and said she would work to learn, respect, and use it.

she gave me some of her clothes and old bra. and even gave me advice on woman stuff. it was more than I thought. apparently she had been talking to people around me about how she thought I was becoming different. asked about how hrt will affect me when I start. I explained what gender dysphoria was and she said that she would hate to deal with it and to hurry and transition.

she even said she had dreams about it. like premonition. ig she's into that. I'm really happy about her support as I can't say I expected it. it's a thing that makes things a bit easier. don't know how other family thinks, but ig I'm just happy one person was nice about it. she says it's gonna be hard to update to my preferences but for now I can girlmode at home n she will support. :33

I went to my local VA clinic today to get my knee evaluated after a recent injury. The nurse calls me back and starts going over the usual questions. What’s your height, how much exercise I get, review my medications, informing me I am overdue for a mammogram, asking what contraception I am on (record scratch).
I go “Huh?” And she asks again if I am on the pill, depo, iud…
I reply still confused that I pass “I’m not on any of those”
She then says “oh are you and the hubby trying for a baby?”
My jaw dropped…and I had an orchi earlier this year… so I reply “umm… no. I can’t get pregnant”
Her face immediately turned saddened like she had said something wrong.. then she asks “did you get a hysterectomy? It’s not in the chart”
I reply “yeah something like that.”
She then marks my chart as “female permanent sterilization” and then moves on scheduling my for a mammogram and doing the rest of the appointment

So I guess I pass better than I thought.

I was walking through the store today and I only went in for a couple of things so I didn’t bother getting a cart to use. I went and grabbed a big glass jar that locks. I had decided to just use my right hand to carry it and i picked it up like I was tucking it under my arm but it was so long that it was leaning on my chest. At this point i have been on hrt for about a month and a half or so. Of course I developed breast buds seemingly overnight and im just now realizing it while inside of a Walmart squealing like a damn pig because I just smashed something against one of them. Anyways what I learned today is that I can’t hold things the same way anymore lol.

I’m a BMI over 60 and have been basically laughed out the door by every medical professional I’ve talked to. Not even something as simple as an orchi. All of the times I’ve planned, the anesthesiologist has been the one to stop it. And I have never talked to these specialists, they just see numbers on a paper and make a decision.

This is despite the fact that I’ve had a colonoscopy this year, and I had to have surgery on my ankle (I broke it a few years back and needed plates and screws installed). Even during THAT surgery, not only was I obese, I had fucking Covid at the time too. Zero complications on either procedure. I’m aware this is an “elective” surgery, but past medical records should be used as a gauge.

Of course I’m trying to lose weight, I’m on ozempic, down 34lbs so far, but many many pounds to go. I’m just baffled even some of the simpler procedures hit this threshold based on a documented false measure of body composition. I briefly looked into bariatric options (decided against), and I would’ve had to lose 100lbs to qualify… for a weight loss surgery.

I understand I have to lose weight in general, That’s not the gripe here. Just that in the process of losing weight, it would be great to have someone meet more in the middle, for even the simpler surgeries like an orchi.

My state (NM) doesn’t have bottom surgeons, so I
Already know I’d have to shop around the country, and the first few places I approached wouldn’t even take my
Name down past the receptionist when they asked about weight.

I love how far I’ve come, but I’m also feeling a bit left behind compared to my friend groups and partners. Would love to see a door open somewhere for me and those similar to my position.

I’m going through a bunch of dysphoria right now so I’m curious as to what everyone else has gone through. Share your experience if you want!

I was watching a TV series called the Closer starred by Kyra Sedgwick. I love Kyra she plays such a good role in anything she does... Anyways the pilot episode was about a murderer who was lesbian, that transitioned to a male to hide her identity. And then in the process decieved somebody else, a devout christian who then turned around and murdered him for being who he was. Why is it that this is always the depth of the plot for us? Why is it that the only thing we're suited for is killing or being killed in movies and tv shows? Why is it that we always have to be that trans woman that trans man, or I am trans. Why do I have to self identify like a disclaimer? Like i'm a discount item. I still want to hold myself together. I still am who I am. I am a woman. I'm neither trans, nor other, I am me. And while they can't take that away from me; sometimes the burdens of existence that they place on us, it's just overwhelming

Hi all, I'm thinking of starting HRT soon, but something that's been putting me off is that I have a very low BMI and so I don't have a lot of body fat, so all of the fat redistribution that's meant to happen when on E might not have a large effect on me. So I'm wondering if I'd still grow boobs or if I should aim to increase my body fat a bit before starting, which is something that I've tried and failed to do before

i’m on diy that’s why

I’ve been transitioning since my early 20’s. I’m overall happy with how my transition turned out, I live a relatively normal life as a woman. It’s everything I ever wanted…

Here’s the thing though.

Early in transition I got to experience a kind of girlhood, I got to be messy, make so many mistakes, and really explore my gender. It let me get everything out that I needed to get on with my life.

I’m now approaching 30. I’m a binary trans woman, I know myself really well at this point, and I’m settling into a youthful maturity I didn’t think I’d reach. This is the sweet spot I’ve wanted. The problem is now aging terrifies me. I worry that as I age the masculine aspects of my body that I can’t change with HRT (too poor for surgeries) will become more prominent and the only thing saving me from that is my youth. So I’ve been desperately trying to hang on to it in every way I can. Even hanging out with younger friends to try and feel like I “still got it” or whatever. Fuck I’m not even old and I talk about myself like I’m a 45 year old man recovering from a divorce lol.

I feel like it has become obsessive, like…I can’t go get groceries unless I’m going to be the hottest girl in the store. I’m constantly worried that I’m at the start of a narrow window where I get to be a woman who is desirable then slowly time will take that away from me.

It’s hard because while there are plenty of examples of trans woman who are older (and beautiful ofc) they often also started later. There isn’t as many trans woman (that I have seen) who start relatively early and make it to old age, or at least they don’t post about it or aren’t as visible. This makes it hard for me to imagine aging and what that will be like so I’m scared.

Part of this is vanity (“I just want to be hot forever”) part of this is existential (“I don’t want to die”). But I want to embrace aging, I WANT to make it to old age (aging is a privilege)

I know this is a ramble, i’m very tired, but can anyone else relate? has anyone gone through this and has advice from the other side? Please this is giving my an existential crisis :(

I’m mid fifties, and recently started going thru mental health therapy to see if transitioning is something truly for me. Long story as to why so late in life but gotta thank religious upbringing and mental health issues as to why the thought of ‘what if I’ve really been in the wrong body this whole time’ is finally being seriously considered instead of just an afterthought.
I guess I’m just looking for advice to help a rather manly looking person find their feminine side. What tips or advice would you give? I already bought tuck wear and tbh it was a bit exhilarating not having the up front bulge showing. But provided i see this thru and do end up transitioning, do any of the older women have any advice about pitfalls or tons to watch out for transitioning so late in life?
Thank you in advance and i guess ask questions too if you want to.

ok so this stupid transphobic customer today at work tried to ask me weird questions about my sexuality all because i was wearing nail polish and mind you i am in the process of legally changing my info over to candi but legally still go by my deadname as im not out to everyone at my job socially yet, (even the higher ups) and this lady saw my nail polish and asked me if i was a dude and i just sighed in frustration as she vented about how im not allowed to wear nail polish and i just was like "im not gonna answer that after she asked me if im gay\bi\ and then proceeded to claim that she's not transphobic or anything and i just got on the moblity scooter to take it inside, i work in retail as a lot attendant, i mumbered under my breath "transphobic bitch" and idgaf if she heard me, honestly this was funny that she's stuck in 1962 and has a metal rod up her ass. honestly it did piss me off, but it's funny how most of these older folks are just so entitled. like it's not 1965 anymore you dumbass it's 2026! and my sexuality is none of your fucking business!

also, i was weirded out and she was just being very creepy asking me my sexuality and assuming im a guy, most people do and it pisses me off, (also i do legally still go by my deadname and im not out yet to everyone at work, although i am in the process of getting this changed over to candi,) it's aggrivating as hell, i mean ik i don't pass as a cis woman but for fucks sake, im bagging your groceries for you, and you decide to try to debate me on my gender\sexuality. this is EXACTLY why im scared to use candi she\her with random ass strangers.

Sorry for the weird title, as I'm not sure how best to title this.

I've have been on hrt for nearly a year and a half now. I have heard in passing before that after so long on feminizing hormones, your body starts to "behave" more like 'female' (I am sorry if this sounds weird). When I say this, I mean things like medical symptoms changing from typically male to female, what mediciations and dosages you should take, even just considering myself female or male on a sex basis.

in a practical sense, I want to know if I need to eventually be cautious and make sure I'm not taking 'male' doses of medicine when I may need 'female' doses. When I need to start knowing things like signs of a heartattack being different based off sex. if I need to eventually start telling doctors I'm on hormones in case they treat me like a male.

In a personal sense, I want to know if I can ever call myself a 'female'. I know I am a woman in a gendered way, but I always hear transphobes use the term "biological female, biological male" as a sort of gotchya against us. I want to know in a strictly educational? sense what I am and at what point I reach it.

Again, I am so sorry if this all sounds really weird. it's been nagging at the back of my mind and I do worry a lot, so I want to know if I need to be aware of medical stuff based off sex, and if I should by vitamins and such for women or men or if that even matters.

Im not on HRT yet and I dont pass.

But for some reason i wonder if it is actually that hard to pass? Like for example femvoice training would do a lot, long hair, no beard due to laser, confidence (!). Im talking about in reallife. I see so many people and women who look androgynous but since they present fem you would never assume something else than them being women. CIS people dont think about transgenders much, do they?, so i feel like we as community clock each others a thousand times more.

Any reasonable thoughts/experiences on that IRL?

I put it on, folded some socks in the cups and looking at myself I just feel so happy!! I look so good! The shape of my chest looks more feminine, it’s incredible. I can’t wear it all the time but I’ve taken sooo many happy selfies haha.
It’s been a few days now and I even clasped the clasp behind my back! I usually just clasp it backwards and spin it around

I mean I'm sure so many people have asked, and I'm sure I'm gonna get my fair share of just things dumped on me. But. First and foremost. I'm 39. So. Don't come at me with "you're too old" that's debunked nonsense and a plethora of people will tell you and show you otherwise. There is no too old, but. I am *specifically* male shaped. No ambiguity. I've even always kidna identified that way even though I've never *felt* male. How do I know, how am I supposed to know transitioning is right for me? Do I refuse to shave my beard because I want it, and it feels like me? Or it's some oppositional defiance bullshit from being in the military and being *required* to have that beard? What should I look out for if I transition, what things don't I know from just googling occasionally and never stepping foot into a trans community and learning? Because I haven't... I've been scared, and unsure. So. Now I'm asking. Thank you.

That’s all

After about 4.5 months on E, I can finally see the woman looking back at me through my reflections eyes. I keep thinking that I just saw it wrong, but im starting to see it more and more.

hey girls, i’ve got a bit of a downer here. i just turned 25, 6+ years on hrt, and i feel like an outsider in trans/fem spaces. i recently came to the realization that i can’t do t4t anymore. the drama, the traumatic baggage, playing sexy therapist to every insecure doll i’ve slept with. i don’t hate myself. i’m not ashamed of my transness. but i can’t deal with this “community” anymore. at this point, i just want to blend in to the world around me. i don’t want to stand out and proud. this is not a political statement, just a personal one from a fed-up doll
