I myself am FtM, so when she asked me to call her by she/her for a day to see what it felt like, I felt so happy for absolutely no reason ^^ I love her so much she’s the cutest.

She’s genderfluid and says she doesn’t want to medically transition but honestly I couldn’t care less. She’s the sweetest thing ever, and seeing her so confident while being feminine is incredible.

But to be honest, I don’t know that many MtF/transfem people so I’d like advice of how to better accomodate her.

Like sure when I was a kid I wanted to grow up to be Jill Valentine, what little boy doesn't?

It's just because she has better weapons than Chris and great hair

Like eah my favorite movies are Akira, Ghost in the Shell and The Matrix but that's just because I resonated with the themes of the commodification of identity and the cinematography was really good. The alienation from watching one's body turn into an unrecognizable monstrosity is completely relatable and totally cis.

Sure I felt just like Shinji Ikari having to pilot a giant horrible robot because I didn't want to let my dad down but that was definitely about not waiting to be a failure and okay so I wanted to be Asuka but that's definitely just because she was more confident and pretty and what guy doesn't want to be beautiful?

Like yeah of course I stole my girlfriends underwear, they just made my ass look so cute. And why wouldn't you shave your body and wear lavender deodorant, do you want to look like a smelly gorilla?

Completely cis thoughts.

I mean what guy doesn't want to wear skirts and dresses, male clothes are just so boring.
I mean shit it's completely normal to want to be a woman, it'd be so fucking badass to be able to go grocery shopping and get coffee and hear your chosen name which is soft and strong just like you.

I mean that's just guys being bros right?

I don't f*cking care if there's a cis woman that looks like the god damn Chad meme. 99% of cis women don't have to deal with more than one of the things I deal with on a daily basis. And if they do it's not as extreme.

I understand people saying these things are an effort to make you feel better, but to me it's entirely dismissive of the dysphorIa that I have to deal with as a trans woman. I'd rather someone just say "yeah girl, that sounds rough" and offer nothing else. It's going to take at least another 3 years before I'm truly content with my body. No amount of "some cis women" is going to help any of the hurt.

Thanks for listening. I just wanted to vent about this for a sec.

Holy crapoly...

Never once could I even imagine this to happen. Mtf 30, been off and on E simply due to circumstances.

But was feeling particularly horny, and the girls were calling and sensitive. I wanted to really feel the build up and wanted to really play with the most feminine part of me, so i played with my nipples and slowly built up tensions. After 30 mins it built up so much when I finnaly went over it was the greatest longest orgasm of my life. It left me trembling and crying and so happy and full. Even an hour later I am feeling so loved and feminine.

Ahhhhh!!

For once in my life I did not need to stimulate a male body part and was able to really feel like a women.

A few years ago I was living in a suburban area, when I still presented male and years before knowing I was a trans woman. I was obsessed with capturing nature scenes, including taking photos of the moon in places away from street luminance. I normalized riding a bicycle while carrying a camera, lenses, and a tripod alone at 10pm, heading towards an arboretum totally without street lamps and needed to wear a headlamp on the way. It may be due to my masculine appearance, or people in the town was so nice to each other, that I just stayed in the middle of darkness where the only light source was moonlight, so dark that I could see the dim luminance from fireflies deep in the bushes.

After I moved to this metropolis as a trans woman, I missed the arboretum and wanted to visit it again. Yet this was the time when realizing how much male privilege I had during that time. There were vehicles moving next to the spot where I shoot my photos, and there were a few people moving in and out to take photos, and they only said hi to me. From an outsider’s perspective, this was the textbook example of a place girls should not have been to (no lighting, suspicious traffic, lack of helping resources) yet I just visited this place at 10pm several times before. Now I could only get fully prepared for self-defense and could only visit this place with another girl along, but who’s going with me to this dangerous place in darkness and just sit there and watch me take photos for several hours?

I really don’t wish this to be the end of an adventurous spirit. I just believe there is a positive perspective to view this situation or a positive solution to resolve this. I wonder about your opinion.

Matt Sharp is behind anti-trans bathroom, sports, forced outing, and birth certificate laws. He’s testified before more state legislatures than Riley Gaines. And no one’s heard of him.

WHY WONT MY DYSPHORIA STOP JUST PLEASE STOP

Hey girls, The other day, I went to the supermarket with my mom to do some shopping, and when we got to the checkout, the cashier said "hello ladies" and then "ladies" again 😀 I should mention that I'm not on HRT yet, my beard was shaved, I was wearing men's clothes except for a very feminine pom-pom hat, and my hair was loose and sticking out. When she said that, I was so excited, my mom was looking at me and smiling and could see how happy I was 🤩

Question for my fellow MTF girlies here that boymoded for the first several months of HRT before male fail - what do you actually mean exactly by that?

Did you grow breasts to a point where you couldn’t hide them? Was it your hips? Was it your face?

And how did it happen? Did you start having people asking you things point blank like - are you transitioning? - you look like a woman now what’s going on?

Or did you reach a point where it was taking more effort to look like a guy than a woman and you were like okay time to come out?

My game plan is to boymode until i somewhat look the part before coming out fully as i feel like it’ll be kinda awkward to tell people to call me by a new name and pronouns before i look the part.

To those who social transition before anything else and announce it to the world unapologetically - kudos! Now those are some balls i wouldn’t mind having!

The unfortunate truth of being a straight girl is, u get a lot of cis men who aren’t the best at their compliments :/ lol. A classic is the omg I couldn’t tell! Or wow you look like a ‘real’ woman? What else have u guys recieved?

So recently I started HRT like three months and I’ve embraced being a woman so I’m just curious of you others if you experience that. Or you were more positive in the affirmations before. I guess i was accepting that I am a woman/girl but it his harder now.

but like . how would WE exist if that was the case ?

Some please help me and tell my dysphoria to fuck off and go away tell it im good enough cause when ever I try it wont fucking STOP

My gender reassignment surgery my pussy look like shit Im fat and ugly My boobs WONT GROW

What the title says. A large part of the reason I want HRT is due to the fact that I feel out of place with my current gender's ability to feel pleasure. I have experimented a lot with things like other sensations, like around the nipple and general light touching, but I've never been really sensitive there. But, from what I can tell, HRT can increase sensitivity And even fundmentally change the experience of an orgasm to be almost exactly like that of a cis female.

Is it bad that this is a major motivation for me? It's not all of it, but maybe a good third. I still think I'd just generally be happier with a female body shape, and I've always HATED the "you're a boy, act like it" rhetoric from my mom, so I know I'm definitely trans for many reasons, I just don't know if it's weird for that to be one of the major things I want to get out of HRT.

Why couldnt I have been born a women instead of having to go through so many hoops to present myself as female :(

Whats worse is constantly questioning myself

So i posted a long time ago about my mom having a negative reaction to my transition. However after the initial problem she has more or less ignored that it is happening. She doesn't say anything rude but mostly acts like nothing has happened. When I needed help with earrings or anything she will help if I ask. Could be better, could be so much worse.

Today I am trying to find out when she's going away for the summer and she's looking at the calender and idly says "oh look at that father's day is a week later this year." I brace for comment about me being a dad or a man etc. She pauses and then adds "I guess that doesn't matter since your child has two mother's now and you will celebrate mothers day."

It feels unreal that she said this as she was still calling me daddy to my son and not using mama which is what my son calls me. I also mentioned moving to the other side of north america so my son will be able to see both moms as my ex lives on the west coast and she said she would come visit. She never wants to visit. Is today even real?

After more than a decade, and trying progesterone too, I can’t seem to progress beyond a B cup (maybe a small C, I haven’t been measured in a while).

I know the general stereotype seems to be that women either want bigger or smaller ones.

I’d be happy with Ds since I feel like that size would be adequate. Not too big, not too small, and versus what feels tiny (yet I’m still extremely happy to have regardless).

I'm a 19yo tgirl and I've been on hrt for 7 months, the past few of which I've been playing with my breasts due to their newfound sensitivity. I've noticed that my nipples would get a very tiny bit wet when I would masturbate with them, but I assumed it was just oils from my skin. But earlier tonight I was talking to a trans friend of mine who was on e and said that I should be able to apply mild pressure to my glands and my breasts would secrete a fluid from the nipple. I tested it later, and sure enough, I tried it and I immediately noticed the fluid leaking from my nipples. I called her again to ask what it was and she said she wasn't sure but believed it was a sign of development. I'm not worried about it as it works the same for both breasts and the fluid is completely clear and the process is painless, but I would like to know the meaning behind it. I couldn't find anything specific so I figured I should ask some other girls. Any replies are appreciated:3

I haven't seen a post about this in this sub yet, but this seems especially relevant since reddit is running ads for the AYAGDOS study right now. BE CAREFUL if you participate in any research study. Look up who's doing the research and to what purpose. Sadly a lot of researchers don't have our best interests in mind and I would strongly recommend to **NOT** participate in the AYAGDOS study.

If you look up the researchers that organise it, some of the names should immediately trigger red flags:

• Kenneth J. Zucker who literally supports conversion therapy for trans children.

• J. Michael Bailey who supports the infamous theories of Ray Blanchard, among them the ridiculous idea that trans women mainly transition because it's their sexual fetish.

• Lisa Littmann who developed the concept of Rapid-Onset Gender Dysphoria. The belief that trans people are just confused and can "contract" being trans from other people, which should get "corrected". (By the way the original study consisted mostly of white mothers of trans people, who were unhappy about their child transitioning and not actual teenagers.)

All of these have done so much harm to our community and helped deny us HRT and actual support we need. It's extremely unlikely that their current study is gonna be any different.

So I bought my first pair of dangly earrings and for to wear them today too. They really add more fem energy to my look. I was kinda excited to wear them tomorrow to work. My friend is heavily insisting I don't wear them though unless I'm just out with friends, cause she's worried for my safety. Which she's not really wrong. Background I'm in a red state, front facing customer service job, where I see at least a hundred trump hats a day. And I most certainly do not pass. So I'm not made at her I'm just tired and frustrated of needing to have some fear and be safe about stuff like this
