Might be a little off on my length estimate.

Yep, changed all of my legal documents. Driver's license, Social Security (it doesn't say gender on the card, but they do have it in their system, all you have to do is ask), and eventually got around to Birth Certificate.

I never want to have to deal with explaining why things don't match. I want to be able to use any form of ID freely, without anyone knowing my birth name, or questioning my gender. Plus, it just feels better.

Edit: my birth certificate is from New Mexico. It's a single page form, plus the court order for name/gender change, plus a check for $10. Incredibly easy; just took a few weeks because I live out of state.

I had a "nightmare" a few nights ago about driving with my mom in the car. I got my license 16 years ago.

I started hrt at 30, and also realized at 10 that I wasn't who I was supposed to be! I'm at 15 months now, and yes, it does get easier. Not that it goes away altogether. Best wishes doll!

No, I get that; I didn't mean to imply that you are wrong in the context of use in your own country! For us though, "gay" is a component of our identities, and doesn't accurately portray our gender identities or sexualities. For instance, I'm a transfem sapphic leaning pansexual. Your use of the word gay seems similar to how we use queer as a blanket term.

That still leaves me wondering your country!

Edit: Filipino?

she broke a court order to not discuss the case with the media.

This is not behavior befitting a Starfleet officer.

Lettered people.

Which country, out of curiosity? I live in a house with 4+ queer people. Labeling all of us would take a minute, but, none of us are gay.

I just got a pair of tomboyx boyshorts, and could totally pass as cis at a beach. Their purpose built swimwear allegedly does an even better job. So worth the price.

You look absolutely lovely!

Doxy also makes wonderful wands too, just to add another quality option.

I brought ten 20's into a bank once, trying to get all 5's for change at my workplace. 2 or 3 of the 20's were fakes. Turned out that someone had been making them, and they had been showing up locally for a day or two.

They were indistinguishable other than a slightly wonky watermark if held in front of light. The bank staff showed me the difference, let me take pictures, and were happy to break all the real 20's. Not an issue.

Read the post again mate.

I rarely pass, and use the women's restroom the majority of the time. I just mind my own business, and haven't been harassed. To be fair, I'm legally female now, so 🤷🏼‍♀️

My household is 4 trans people and a cis guy. Plus another few outside of that who are trans or nb.

I had made lists of girl names I liked for years, totally not for myself, who was totally cis. Just names I liked. My name was on exactly zero of those lists.

I found mine while looking for a D&D character name. Kara was the first part of the name. I immediately felt like I was hit by a train, or my spirit left my body, idk, you get the point...it was heavy. I knew that was my name.

Maybe that sounds like a whim, or not taken seriously on paper. Of course I was nervous sometimes, but never for long.

It felt like I'd always known my name, and just forgotten until I was ready to accept myself.

I spent 30 years with everyone thinking I was a man. I'm not, and only 1 old bigot gave any shits.

I spent 30 years dating pretty blonde women, and everyone, myself included, figured I was completely straight. Then I showed up with a hairy, muscle-y, outwardly male presenting person. And only the same bigot cared.

Sexuality is fluid, the only one it should matter for is you and your partner.

At a year now; my breasts have a decent shape and size. I'd say they're comparable to cis women. Even with a wide chest, they look good.

I always assumed they did. Then whoops I have boobs now.

You have the support of a random trans girl. You can get through this. Hugs.

Your dick won't perform the same. Sildenifil (viagra), or other drugs will be your friend there. With proper hormone levels, it's gonna be a pain sometimes. Toys are friends. Re-learn your body, and the bodies of others. Sex isn't just about shoving something into something, it's about intimacy.

Having a penis isn't a thing to worry about. It's your choice, and it's fine to keep it. You're no less trans, and no less a woman.

Our store does hot sandwiches and had to get wiring upgraded. Not sure who paid (inspire or franchise).

I started sitting 98% of the time years before my egg cracked. Can use my phone, zero shart risk, and the toilet stays clean. Plus, the clothes I wear at home don't take any effort to pull down (but now it's cute stuff instead of gym shorts).

It did become a dysphoric type issue more recently; a combination of actually seeing myself as a woman, and using women's restrooms by default.

I'm so sorry love.

Know that there are people out there who will love you for who you are. It's scary and lonely now, I've been scared too. But you will find friends, and build a family of your choosing.

If you can, reach out to anything lgbtq friendly in your area. Instead of isolating yourself, get out there as much as you can (safely). Your people are out there, waiting to have you in their life.

Warm internet hugs.
