i've more or less officially come to terms that i (amab) am trans. always been into crossdressing but now kind of wish i could push a magic button and be a straight woman full time. wife is supportive but i think our marriage would probably be over if i transitioned. not to mention everything else i'd have to deal with.. our toddler, work, non-accepting family, etc. anyways, hi!

iospace posted:congrats on figuring it out! Yeah, they're evangelical christian trump voters and in the past have expressed enthusiasm for Paul McHugh.. so I wrote them off years ago. At least my wife's side of the family is much more understanding. This dysphoria never goes away, does it?

jit bull transpile posted:you learn to manage it better i'd guess this means doing at least something so you're not feeling miserable all the time? candy for breakfast posted:Yeah, they're evangelical christian trump voters and in the past have expressed enthusiasm for Paul McHugh.. so I wrote them off years ago. At least my wife's side of the family is much more understanding. greetings past candy for breakfast, this last week you've been a wreck. it's surprising that you've been able to hold it together but here you are! however we're not sure how long this current state will last. you've managed to convince yourself that somehow transitioning might be possible O_o. your bosses up to the c-level are pretty chill. your coworkers seem to enjoy your presence. you've been presented awards for your achievements. your christmas present to your wife was paying for gastric sleeve surgery earlier this month. maybe if you helped her get the body she wants, she'll help you get the body you want. if the employee on the phone was to believed (haha), your health insurance covers hrt, ba, ffs, and gender affirmation surgery (hahaha). so that's cool. physically you're starting off in an alright spot, but you're still a pale gangly uggo rear end nerd without real life friends. you'll never not be unhappy with your body. your voice will probably never pass. your coworkers will shun you, your wife and son will leave you and you'll be alone forever right now the alternatives seem to be being miserable and regretful for the rest of your life, or suicide. sigh. (just to be clear, i'm definitely NOT suicidal right now. other than this bullshit my life is pretty alright). dear future candy for breakfast, let me know that everything works out great. thanks.

jit bull transpile posted:stop talking like this now for your own good. passing is some loving outdated 1970s Susan's place bullshit. transition helps you feel like yourself. gently caress anybody else's perception of you. be yourself and revel in it. thank you. consciously acknowledging myself as a woman is very new, but it feels right, even though i'm still pretty scared. i've been reading susan's place on and off for a long time, but would keep getting annoyed at how old-fashioned everyone was. ugh. is there any other decent place for discussion other than here and the trans* subreddits? therapist appointment thursday. hooray! there's a gender/quiltbag specialist nearby who is accepting patients next month. will definitely give her a ring.

welp ~8 months have passed since i last posted when telling the wife that i can't be a guy anymore. she didn't take it well at first but has since done much better- therapy for both of us and resolving other stresses in our lives has helped much. still haven't called the endo but actively being a bit more feminine and it's going well. on the mega plus my work's new insurance covers everything except laser/electrolysis. thanks for not being entirely terrible, texas. went to therapy and support group fully dressed (minus makeup because that's still a disaster) and actually felt kind of good.anyway thanks all for being here. things are gonna be alright.

followed up with endo for potential openings... they should have one soon! wife has fallen in love with her best friend's older brother who lives a few states away. it's for the better, now i'm the best friend who is transitioning and not her husband who is transitioning. we're still together for now, getting along well
