Well, I scheduled an appointment with a therapist. Said I wanted to talk about gender identity issues, amongst other things. The first time I've ever revealed myself IRL. It felt good, and was kind of exciting too.

Well, to me you are incredibly brave.

Thank you for telling me your situation. I don't know what's going to happen with my life but hearing from you and the others means a lot, and makes me feel less alone.

I watched it all and several of her other videos and ill be watching more. Thank you. Is the height and hair thing true? My body hair and balding are what trigger my dysphoria the most.

Is just "trying" HRT a thing? A doctor will just prescribe it estrogen and anti androgens?

That's basically what I'd be looking at. You are a very strong and brave woman.

My heart goes out to you internet stranger. If you're willing to share more, I'd love to hear how your life had changed for the better.

What's probably crazy is thinking about it for months and years and years feels normal. I have an equation in my head, is the benefits of transitioning equal to or greater than the cost of blowing up my life. Right now it still feels like the cost would be too high, but I don't know anymore...

No therapist but I'm hoping to start seeing one soon. I have a lot I need to deal with besides being trans.

Girl(?) 🥹

Pretty much ya. I had never really thought that my dysphoria could be hurting me. It's just always been something I carry around, and I've treated it like any other unfulfillable desire. It definitely made me more anti-social, and instead of seeking out a girl friend i was happy to fantasize about being a girl. I'm not completely disgusted by my own body like I've read others are, which probably helped with coping too.

I sobered up a couple years ago and have started to face the reality thst I'm getting older. With that has come a realization that my dysphoria has probably significantly hampered my life.

I hope not, maybe I'm projecting too much.

It's possible she could... I haven't felt this constantly dysphoric in years.

Thank you, I want to provide all the support I can.

She's definitely already caused me to reconsider. I've thought about it every day for months.

 

Long story short, I've known that I was trans long before I had even heard the word. There were signs as early as 4 years old and I knew by the time I was 8. I'm in my late 30's now and I had come to a kind of peace about not transitioning. It's something that I want but because of life, family, and a lot of fear I decided not to.

Recently a very close friend who I've know for decades came out to me as a trans woman.

I want to tell her about myself but I'm worried about planting seeds of doubt about her transition because I've known I was trans for so long and yet haven't started transitioning myself. I'm afraid that if I try and explain why that she might internalize my reasons. If that makes sense. I've never told anyone my truth and I'd so love to have someone to talk to about it. Especially since my friends transition is causing me to second guess myself.

I would appreciate some thoughts on whether I should tell my friend.

Bernie bros didn't show up to vote and lost the nomination.

You: the system is rigged ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Nice cock. Is it difficult to find a partner that can take it?
