That makes sense. I hope it works out the best for both you

Thank you 😎

Thank you :>

Thank you! Can't wait for kasik though lol my eyes pop more without em

I'm curious if it'll get rid of my hips a little more

Thank you ^{^} it kind of just does that lol

Oh shit I'm so sorry...

LOOK AT THE EAR HAIR CURLS!!

Also they know what's up

TURNING ON JIGGLE PHYSICS 😂😂😂😂

My mom had similar and birth control has helped her immensely <3

For me I fogure "I'm a man but I have to accept that I was born a female otherwise it'll heat me alive if I dont".

Fundamentally I am a female, yes, but I've changed that to fit better with myself, and some aspect of that will always be present no matter how stealth I am. I had a female childhood, right now I have breast tissue and probably will always have the down under, and even if I didn't have that I'd probably still find something (or the transphobes will) that's female about myself, and I have to be okay with that.

It makes me feel more empowered to say "yes, but I've changed myself to how I want to be, for myself. Look st how far I've come"

The "acceptance" stage of the grief that is never being cis

If I had a partner: make hik food because you want to, cuddles because you want to

Really just anything nice they'd do for me just because they wanted to and not because they feel like they have to ^{^}

But also I really like food lol

Thank you thank you ^{^}

Nair actually does make some specifically for facial hair ^{^} I have some in my possession I just haven't tried it lol

Yea... my grandparents use my name at the very least infront of me but behind my back... But I have to pick my battles. I fought for 10 months with my parents who kept using circular reasoning and it drove me insane coming back to the same argument ad going no where (they once took my on a drive I didn't want to go on after CPS visited my home because I had told a counselor what was going on- still don't regret it though, I showed I was not fucking around and I'd tell anyone who would listen just to gain support pff)

Now I tactically go to visit my parents because I know A) my mom doesn't really talk about it and is nice to me, B) my dog is cool and C) my dad is third owner of a business now (thanks to the butterfly effect that is me working at a Chinese restaurant) and he isn't around much, but when he is I get free food somehow lol

You'll get there girly, and if you need someone to infodump to you can always text me ^{^}

Well shoot I didn't know there was a transfem version of gel

I'd talk to your doc but I think fems usually go on blockers?

Idk I'm a transmasc lol

I wish you the upmost best luck and also I hope your savings account is full or you're able to make it so

You might have to decide how intertwined you want your religion to be. I had to deconstruct my religion I guess but even then I never was religious really

My parents are transphobes but I figured "I look ugly as a girl but pretty as a boy" and bound my chest and said "well fuck I'm trans-" felt happy, then had a break down since I knew it would make my situation at home worse

But I can't hide from it now. I moved out and started hormones and I feel right at home, now just trying to figure out top surgery.

Just go at your pace, but remember that your religious upbringing has been literally trained into you since you were a child especially as a tool of control (when someone would tell me to go to hell it would hurt, but now I say see you there. It still hurts but then again you can't tell a non Christian to go to hell it just doesn't work)

And if you're still tied to faith, there are plenty churches that even atheists go to just because of the community and queers there, they feel like they belong even if they don't believe in God, so making changes and owning how YOU percieve your faith rather than how people have forced it down on you could also be part of your transition

Do some research, and figure out how your faith applies to you ^{^} not how it was force fed to you (and in some cases, it just doesn't apply at all)

Depends on the place and company. I know when I would put BOTH names on my resume I applied for 14 jobs in a small town and nothing worked (except one where it was just a scheduling issue apparently)

If I were to go back I'd probably only out my legal name until they hire me, unless they see my appearance and ask

But also if you find work at a bigger college it's easier and they have good benefits, even as a night shift custodian myself (but I also changed my name and have been on t for ten months so best of luck to you but totally recomend being a night shift custodian)

I'm curious if facial nair would work good? Like if it burns the hairs off instead of shaving it down? Really not sure

And of course the make up trick of countering blue with i think its yellow or orange to tone down the 5'o clock shadow thing (wonder why its called that?"

I have no exoerience with having supportive parents, so all i can say is just keep going for you. Soon enough youll be far enough down your transition that she'll look stoopid calling you your dead pronouns And just..keep reminding her of your name i guess? Idk

Would some sort of oxyclean work? (Sorry for ignorance :>)

Your parents had this vision of who you'd be at birth and they're unhappy you're going against it- but it was bound to happen, especially with us being transmasc.

I know it sounds grim, but the way I see it, one day my parents won't be here, and I don't want to come to that day living as a woman for them instead of living as a man for me. It's not her life, and you can't imagine yourself going back to a woman I assume.

She just has to come to terms on her own time, even if that takes 5 years or more of taking T. There's nothing you can do (as far as I know) to change her mind and she just has to get used to the change that her baby child of an original sex is now a grown trans man.

It's rough but I jokingly write it off as "if they're dissapointed now what's the harm in fully being myself if they're already dissapointed?"

The republicans wanted to get rid of Soc Security so I don't believe that for a second

-walking around shirtless at home since I already do that (but with a bra, I have a relatively small chest) -not having to put in a bath robe every time I go out for laundry in just boxers and a bra

-working out without a binder -not having to worry about jot being able to swim if my binder is dirty -fitting into suits without a binder -not having to wash bras (maybe) -not being afraid to do taekwondo since it's either wear a binder or show your chest, slightly afraid of what happens if they kick me in a binder

-the pain of looking for binders in the first place so I just oversize my work shirts and slouch

-not having to slouch -actually good fitting shirts

THATS A LOT OF T ;-;
