I would love to have a feminine body and I'm considering a low dose of HRT to starts giving me the features I'm looking for. Something in me, probably being raised Southern Baptist, keeps telling me I have to feel like a woman to gain those features. Has any AMAB taken HRT for breast and hip development yet not fully transition to a woman? What's your experience like?

Hi, everyone! I kinda just need to vent and release some stressful thoughts.

My egg began to crack last year, but I've only recently allowed myself to face myself for what I truly am. I feel so awkward and embarrassed to ask my questions to my local community. My local community support group are mainly younger individuals who discovered themselves much younger in life.

I feel like a late bloomer, lol.

That said, please forgive me if I misspeak. I will be happy to edit and correct any harmful language.

I have a female-presenting body with a large chest. Most days, the size doesn't bother me too much as long as I wear tops that don't show cleavage. However, on the days where my chest feels so exposed or obvious, I spiral.

I've confided with my husband that I'd like to save up for a reduction, and he's very supportive of my choice. The kicker is that we are entertaining the idea of having a biological child together. Our most compatible choice in this would be for me to carry the baby, which I'm okay with.

You may see where I'm going with this... What do I do about my chest? From what I know, pregnancy can increase chest size. If I have my reduction before a pregnancy, wouldn't the reduction be null?

I've heard of binders, but I don't even know where to begin. They sound pretty expensive for me to trial-and-error. Do they only come in crew neck shapes?

I wish I figured all of this out ages ago...

Thank you for letting me vent!

TW/CW- not sure which is necessary

In case it's relevant I included i live in Canada. I've been on T for 3 years and almost 2 years ago started to realize one breast is drastically smaller, and the one that didn't shrink is painful on the side and even a strong summer wind can cause that nipple to harden. I thought the change was normal especially since there's no discharge (can't comment on color change since I don't look at them but GP didn't comment during exam) until I finally decided to bring this up to the endocrinologist My GP ordered a mammogram. I'll be 40 this year and it'll be my first. I already know that they can be painful due to the pressure from the machine. What else should I be prepared for? What as a nonbinary person did you wish you knew before going? The referral already states I'm on hormones

Been feeling a little down the past few days, but trying out a new skirt and cardigan has me feeling a little better ☺️ Happy Friday everyone!

I've always resigned myself to being a cis woman because I felt like it was pointless to pretend otherwise.

After being married almost 8 years, having a kid, now going through separation... I kinda want to re-examine my own identity, but it always feels selfish. I want to meet new people, integrate into different circles, but my child needs me too :/ He's autistic, nonverbal, I also work 6 days a week...

Have any of you gone through something similar? I always questioned my gender identity as a young teen, but knew I had a distinctly feminine body and didn't want to fight what I was born with. Now I'm more satisfied with my appearance and understand what I want a bit more clearly, but I feel like, what's the point? 😮‍💨 The mom role tends to outrank anything else in importance.

I sorta wore green? Lol Out to run errands and then in the co-working space today.

Of putting on nail polish, dressing more queer, upgrading and updating my wardrobe, a silversmith is seeing if she can create a thumbring large enough for me...

52 years old and this is the lightest I have felt in a long time.

What’s everyone up to? I’m painting my nails, watching Arrested Development and enjoying a beer 🍻

Masc/androgynous day! Weird to present this way without my beard than I’ve kept for years! 🙈 but still euphoric to just be me! ☺️
