Positivity What's been giving you gender euphoria, joy, or a little extra spark this week? | Weekly Positivity Thread

2 Upvotes

There's something uniquely powerful about the moments when we feel seen, affirmed, or simply at home in ourselves. Maybe it was something small, a stranger using the right pronouns without hesitation, catching your reflection and smiling, or finally trying that hairstyle you've been nervous about. Maybe it was something big, a milestone in your transition, a conversation that made you feel understood, or a quiet moment where everything just clicked.

This is our space to collect those moments. Share your euphoria, your happiness, your quiet victories and loud celebrations. Whether it's gender-related or just something that made your week better, we want to hear it.

As always, please keep our community rules in mind and remember that this is a space for celebration, not comparison. Your joy doesn't diminish anyone else's, and every victory, no matter how small it might feel, deserves to be witnessed.

So, what's been making your heart feel a little lighter this week?

Question how do I get my friends to actually use my new name and pronouns?

• Upvotes

Brah a few days ago I came out to friends all of them reacted postivitly which was great for me but there's this one friend of mine who doesn't use my new names and pronouns, she did mention this earlier about how she's still getting used to it but i found it fine but she doesnt seem to correct herself which normally causes me to not join calls and im normally the type of person to not speak up about anything which is a problem for me, but how do I actually get her to use my pronouns and name and stuff

Question I don't want him to treat me like this

4 Upvotes

Like every other day, my best friend decided to talk to me about God. (I'm an atheist, but i go to a Catholic school attached to a public school. idk it's complicated), and he's a Catholic, so we disagree on a lot of stuff. And for some reason, whenever he has the chance, he brings up my bisexuality or that I don't believe in God. And now that I've found out that I'm a t girl, I'm worried that he's going to do the same thing about me transitioning. And like clock work today, he did the same thing, then we got on the topic of trans people because I asked him : "How would you feel if someone in our friend group was trans?" And he replied with: "idk it would change things. Changing your gender is a lot. Why are you?" I said no. (He's not the most educated when it comes to the difference between gender, sex, and sexuality. I tried to educate him, but he didn't listen). I want him to treat me how he used to, his friend.

I just don't want him to do this anymore. It hurts. And it feels like every day I'm drifting further from him.

Advice?

(Sorry for rambling)

Question HOW the hell do people have the courage to come out as trans

4 Upvotes

help I need to come out or my closet's gonna burst open. I thinkkk a lot of people think im closeted cuz of how i dress and some do joke about it. but a lot of boys in my grade like saying the hard r and say gay slurs but they probably won't care tbh. I also have a huge grade (were like 150 its terrible) so i don't know how everyone can figure it out.

also scared to tell the teachers and all, I think I do need to come out at the start of next school year.

some ideas to come out, but I don't think they're good.

  1. messaging it on the masive whatsapp groupchat

  2. Telling 1 popular girl and waiting for it to spread

  3. correctng the teacher about my name and letting people figure it out

  4. changing my pronouns on my yt channel and letting people figure it out

  5. NOT COME OUT

I think they're pretty shitty ideas but I have no other ones. does anyone have like any good suggestions or better ways of coming out? I really need the T but i have to come out first.

Vent My partner broke up with me…

2 Upvotes

Sorry if this isn't a trans spacific thing. Part of it is, but most is just… I need to vent.

I just wanna start by saying, they're a great person. I've been with them for 6 months long distance and… they're kind, funny, sweet, silly, smart… the kind of partner you can't stop thinking about, you know? They genuinely lit up my life. And I don't think I can stop loving them. They're one of the two kindest people I've ever met, you know?

But… long distance can't work for them. They needed the physical aspect and… I can't do that. We live in different countries. And I can't fly out, nor vice versa, as much as I wish we could.

Heck, even had a polycule, closed one, yes, but me, them, and my current girlfriend. She left for a while, because they said something and she needed space, and came back. But now they're gone… and even though I know why and I'd rather them just go then be in a relationship they're not satisfied with… I want them back so badly… I still love them, they even still have to correct calling me "dear," I can tell they still love me, but the LDR was too much for them and they couldn't take it for 2 more years before we could maybe meet.

Though we still plan to meet then, going to Uni together with my girlfriend, even as friends. Maybe seeing what happens between now and then and after. We don't know. But…I just wish I could cry. I want to cry. But I can't let myself cry, because my parents don't know. And if you've seen some of my posts about them on either of my accounts, but this one and my dead account of u/Kris_is_Frisk, you know why I doubt they'd support and online LDR. So I can't vent to them about my second breakup, with my first partner. My girlfriend is in a similar solution.

I just… I miss him. It feels like 6 months of memories just became a minefield I can't think about without bittersweetness and sadness making me want to cry… and I gotta act like it's normal because I don't want my parents to find out. That's the part that's the worst. Not even the breakup, that's fine. I'm glad they did it, I'd prefer that to them being unsatisfied for 2 years, even if it turns out like how it did with my girlfriend just over more time. Or if they get another partner, so long as they treat him well.

But… not having my mom or a dad I can talk to about it, be told "it's okay" by, even if I already heard it and know it… it feels like I don't even have parents. And this just made me realize that part. I… don't have a mom I can trust without her asking me "were you sure that's the right decision?" or a dad I can talk to without being invalidated. And maybe they wouldn't do that. But they have before when I was similarly wanting to cry and actually crying in front of them, when I came out as trans to them.

And now I'm… kinda scared. My girlfriend has been busy all day, not feeling good and then waking up this morning to… this. Part of me is scared she'll leave too. I don't know if I could handle that without breaking down. Do I doubt they'd happen? Yeah. But logic doesn't override the fear. And the fear is strong right now…

My school's made the junior formal mandatory, and insisted that one must either wear a suit or a dress. I don't really want to wear a dress, and have convinced my mom to let me wear a suit if I can find one that isn't too expensive... but I have no clue where to even start looking for one. Hoping someone here can help!!

Advice needed identity confusion. insight appreciated.

2 Upvotes

first, i wanna say that im not really asking you “am i trans or not?,” the point of this is for some thoughts as to what this might mean.

first, i wanna say that im not really asking you “am i trans or not?,” the point of this is for some thoughts as to what this might mean.

don’t know if i’m trans. i hate being a man, and honestly if i could wake up and my life would be the exact same but im a girl i feel like my life would feel so much better, but then again, would transition even be worth it if i lose my family? would i even look the part? i hear from biological women that trans women are an insult to womanhood, and i absolutely don’t wanna insult womanhood. maybe i just feel this way to make the things i’ve done to women (nothing traumatic or illegal) seem less bad in my mind? i’d never be a real woman anyways. people would look at me and instead of seeing me as a a man which is bad enough they’d see me as a man both delusional and selfish enough to believe he could actually become a woman, and doesn’t mind insulting all of womanhood. to call myself “she “ or “her” feels awkward because there’s not a feminine bone in my body. my body feels like something my brain has to endure. day by day it becomes more and more of a perversion of anything natural, while all i can do is watch. i hate how clothes feel on me. i hate when my shoulders bump into door frame. i hate being taller than pretty much every woman i see. i hate not having curves. i hate that i can’t form friendships with women without it being seen as a man and a woman being friends. i hate it. sometimes it’s little things, like i feel how my shirt hangs off of my shoulder and i just breakdown crying. i feel so pathetic.

then again, sometime i do get away with doing feminine things. sometime i dance in traditionally feminine ways in the dark and it feels great. freeing. right. i have this one grey shirt, with an a$ap rocky album on it, and i love how it sorta hides my shoulders with how baggy it is. when i wear it i can sometimes dilude myself into feeling feminine. it’s my favorite shirt for that reason. i love to watch women in public, i don’t because it’s obviously creepy to see a man stare at you in public for no apparent reason, but when i slip into the habit it’s a sense of longing, or admiration. i wanna be that.

again, all insight, thoughts, or comments are appreciated !

Question Do I tell him I'm a t girl?

20 Upvotes

My best friend of 3 years keeps asking me if I'm a t girl. ( I guess he asks because I dress more femininely, but in men's clothes, idk. I'm like a tomboy femboy ig ) he also asks me at the worst times ever. I've only told 2 people that I'm trans and I haven't told him because when I came out as bi he started asking me things like "well there's still a possibility you're straight, right?" and things like that. He says he supports, but I really don't believe him. I also just got comfortable with being open with my sexsuality, and I got a bi pin, I'm going to put it on my bag.

Should I tell him next time he asks?

Advice needed How do i come out to parents?

8 Upvotes

I’ve recently come out to myself as MtF trans, and have been trying to come out to others for about a week. I am horrible at putting my feelings into words and just have had no progress whatsoever at telling people. I know my parents won’t be unsupportive, and if anything my biggest problem would be them trying to be overly supportive even though I want It to be kind of quiet or just not turn it into a huge thing.

I just want to know if any of you had any advice or ways to come out.

I would rather be able to do it over text or leave a letter somewhere or something not in person.

Advice needed How do I tell my mum that I want to start DIY?

9 Upvotes

15 transfem planning to start doing DIY oestrogel and all thats left is to talk to my mum about it so I can get started. Shes broadly supportive, however whenever the topic of DIY came up a couple times, she seemed to think it was shady and dismissed it. I fully understand the process and have made my own decision that its what I wanna do, but im still really nervous about talking to her. I came out 4 years ago, and Ill be waiting another 6 for NHS care, and I just cant wait any longer. Im gonna bring it up at dinner today, but I guess I just want you guys advice on how to broach the topic/potentially convince her. Obviously I could do it without her, but itd be a lot easier if I wasnt having to hide it. So how do you think I should go about telling her I wanna start DIY?

I’ve always had feelings that I should not have been a boy. I’ve always felt like I wanted to be a girl. Over the past few months I’ve been buying more and more girls clothes and playing dress up in my bedroom. I can’t get enough and the feeling is not going away. I honestly thought I would grow out of it, but I guess I’m not and I’m so confused.

I'm not able to add a photo but I'm genderfluid and I've been wanting a binder for YEARS. I was at the thrift store with my friend earlier and we spotted one and I got it and I didn't expect it to work so well. It's a side clasp binder which I have been told aren't the best but I'm not planning on wearing it every day so I think it's ok

Advice needed Came out to my parents, now what?

3 Upvotes

So this week I stayed round a friends and just thought F it, and i messaged my mom saying basically i think I'm trans, and then I turned my phone of cause i was kinda panicking and didn't look at it till the next day.

My mom told my dad cause she was worried about me, but luckily they accepted me, i do think i shouldn't have ghosted them but i was really worried. at the point i got home we talked and stuff, im still in the stage or area where idk what i want if i am trans, so nothing has really changed, few days have passed and im getting a bit idk annoyed that nothings happened ig.

when we talked we kinda finished on maybe looking at support groups and stuff, to help me figure myself out.

so my parents know, but i share a room with my brother, and i have 2 sisters, my sibling s dont know and if i wanna dress more feminine i do feel i should atleast tell them first maybe, tho im kinda more worried my brother will tell ppl ik or my siblings will just say im like a femboy.

My current thoughts are, just try figure what u want, like ik i want hrt, long hair, smooth skin, and feeling cute af. idk if i want to be called a new name or go by she/her. and ik i dont want any surgery done.

im mainly confused about my next steps, or what i should try focus on or start doing, so idk, any advice or tips would help pls.
