If you're not cis, talk here.

Rules:

1. don't misgender.

2. If you're here to advocate for Contra, :frogout:. You have the lefttuber thread, and a lot of us trans folks don't like her. If you're a transes and want to talk about her, it's okay, but otherwise please no. This also should be read to include Kat Blaque, who has been acting like a rear end in a top hat lately.

3. Don't correctly spell tormp

4.If you're here to stir the poo poo, :fuckoff:

5.If you want to learn about us, or questioning or just wanted to be nice to us? :getin: Just take your lumps like an adult if you say something dumb.

6. Magic shave is magic, for those who have unwanted hair.

7. Truscum, AGP believers and similar ilk: :getout:, We don't want your kind in here, your ideas are terrible and if you show your terrible faces, you will be dunked without end or mercy. We stand behind NB and non-conventional binary CSPAM and other goons of every type. :hai:

the other thread seemed to be tentatively open to cis goons who wanted to chill and be supportive/empathetic; is that so here or would y’all prefer not?

Hi new thread, so I'm assuming other people have been through this but having my brain rocket back and forth between "yeah I def think I'd be happier with myself if I took hormone therapy" and "but life would be easier if I just, uh, didn't do that" is a hell of a trip and I'm not sure what to do about it at the moment

Figure out where your line is of "stable and safe" enough to move forward to transitioning. For me I needed to be settled down with my partner because I needed the support and also wanted a stable job. For you you may not be able to or willing to wait for that.

Id reccomend trying out presentation online in like test space and see how it makes you feel as that's less work than well anything else.

it's a hard place to be for sure. for me, therapy and talking with some friends who had been through it - the latter more than the former, I think - helped me sort through that stuff.

It's sometimes easy to get in the weeds with transition, so why not try and take a step back from HRT.

Do you want your body to grow the same way? Are there things that might make you happier if they changed? Are there any things you definitely don't want changed? Don't worry about how right now, imagine I have a magic body changing machine. You putting yourself in there?

1. Nope, haven't really been a huge fan of most of the things puberty did to me I just figured there was nothing I could do about it so I didn't bother thinking about it I guess, until recently

2. Hmm maybe one or two things

3. Oh absolutely put me in coach

Thanks everyone for the responses, btw. Talking about this definitely helps, also just seeing other goons talk about similar experiences. Y'all are pretty great with the support and validation

Best of luck Xad. What I can offer is that yeah it suuuuucked when I started to transition but now, a decade down the line, it's great. Figure out what's right for you; ignoring it won't help in the long run. If I had I wouldn't be here today.

Then when you've got it all figured out and handled to your satisfaction you can get on with being miserable for all the reasons everyone else.

I felt very similarly like a year ago so I continued to work on the rest of my life and think and reflect about HRT and then started like 3 months ago and am glad that I waited until I was good and ready, but also glad I started and already like the changes I'm seeing. it's ok to take your time.

I agree tho, give me the magic body changing machine posthaste

The question was purely rhetorical; we all know, if someone was to :toxx: on this, the mods may as well ban them straight away after a Pete victory in the primary. The only question is how much of the rest of the dem minority coalition goes with us. :smithicide:

Talk shit, get bzzzt.

gently caress it, be whoever you want to be. Don't compare your desires to the delusions felt to others, that can become a toxic cycle of self doubt real fast.

Elizabeth Warren is the mom who "still loves you" but gets your pronouns consistently wrong and won't apologize.
