Re: Transgender AMA
Ayyy tosh! Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions, they're pretty blunt, but you provided some very nice insight. It's actually very good to hear your certainties with this transition, and that you're overall happier! I may have some future questions, but these are some main ones that i have thought about from time to time. So thanks again for the honesty and feedback

Re: Transgender AMA
Didn't see this thread till now, so sorry if something similar was asked already. My brother (sister?) came out (?) around new years 2017 and it's been an interesting/difficult/emotional experience for me. I can admit that I had/have some prejudice opinions because I don't personally fully understand it, but I'm trying to be as supportive as I can be.
I was wondering what were some of the difficulties you faced in the years following the start of your transition, and maybe some of the ways you wished others were supportive towards you? I don't see her very often anymore and sometimes I feel like she's depressed and I don't know what I can do. Did ether of you face a lot of depression and did it eventually get better? It's still difficult for me to remember to use female pronouns and use her new name since she's been my brother for 26+ years and we were pretty close. She says she's ok with me not using them but should I force myself to use them anyway (in your opinion)? Her birthday is coming up soon and I just want her to be happy... thanks.

i use a one-piece

but if it is required it should be required for everyone IMO also i would consider joining the military only if i administered first aid to help people live or did something where i wasn't a soldier or anything that doesn't help the military kill people like building guns and tanks i doubt it would be completely safe in a military setting if everyone knew i was transgender so i would probably keep it a secret unless i became close friends with someone and i trusted that person i guess i could join a LGBTQA+ group but i doubt everyone would be comfortable with transgender individuals Quote:
i adjusted my voice while i spoke since late high school because i really didn't like how my voice didn't sound feminine and i rejected my voice and after a few years i sounded feminine to myself; when i first kept adjusting my voice for a few years my mom thought i sounded like a little high-pitched girl so i tried to make my voice more natural and i spoke at a more comfortable pitch so now i think i sound naturally feminine; even if i don't i like the way my voice sounds and i'm not going to change it anymore most people use voice training exercises to adjust their pitch, tone, and resonance that are probably a lot more effective but i want to recognize my voice and have my voice be natural so i don't want to change my voice with exercises i don't really know whether i have curves or not; i don't look at my body in the mirror that much except for my face once in awhile; i don't really want to look at what i look like completely until after i get the surgery; i do have curves at the sides of my body which is really nice, but i never really look at my body to see what i look like i'm not going to have any surgery except for SRS (sexual reassignment surgery); i love how the hormones made my body more feminine and i'm really happy with the effects; also i pass as female all the time so there's no point to get any other surgeries since i'm happy with all the effects from the hormones i already love how my breasts look and as long as i don't have male genitalia anymore i'll honestly be okay with anything i'm trying not to masturbate ever again until the surgery i am definitely going to have the surgery even though i'm scared to have it because i really don't want to keep living with male genitalia i want to have the possibility to become pregnant and it does bother me but science can't do that right now even after i have the surgery no; science can't make transgender women have periods right now no; i was always a girl to begin with even though i didn't realize it until middle school in about 7th grade; i was always uncomfortable with the body i was born with since i was little though i know i want to transition because i always rejected the body i was born with since i was little and transitioning and expressing myself as a girl makes me happy, so i won't change my mind i do have another physical hurdle but it's really personal so i'd rather not share it yeah, i finally look like a girl in the mirror and i see myself as a girl inside and i like the way my voice sounds now and yes, i'm really happy with my transition Quote:

even if she says she's okay with you not using feminine pronouns it probably really hurts her inside when people call her masculine pronouns because that's not who she is when i first told my family i'm transgender my mom thought it was a phase for a long time and since i started transitioning, apparently she thinks i have a completely different personality because i'm more expressive and social and she "mourns the old me"; also once i started transitioning my brother didn't want me to go near his friends or school because he was worried if they knew i was his sister and i didn't look female yet and i was wearing feminine clothes, they might stop being his friend and judge him; my dad thinks i can't think logically anymore and my thinking is "clouded" because of the hormones which isn't true at all; hormones don't cloud your judgment or affect the way you think at all i just feel like if i had told my mom and dad earlier things could have been different also i have been depressed but it's because of school and how my family sees me; it has nothing to do with transitioning and transitioning has made me a lot happier also i was depressed way before i started transitioning and taking hormones i actually don't like tea at all; i don't like coffee either my favorite hot drink is hot chocolate

Re: Transgender AMA
Oh, you just posted this a short while ago. I was browsing and it was way down in the home page list when I opened the window. Just now I was like a new post but I had already read it... lol.
Don't mind me, I've been following the thread since day 1 and like reading about view points different from my own. And I mean that purely in the sense that I'm not transgender myself. I have a few friends from the area who are and have some super interesting conversations with them.

What is it like in your mind to decide to finally put things in motion? Do you feel like there might be a problem with overcrowding gender neutral bathrooms because anyone can use them? I've always thought that maybe not being CIS is like, some kind of defense mechanism humanity has for balancing out it's overpopulation. What do you think of that idea?

I've definitely not thought of it like that, I think gender dysphoria is more complicated like that, but it's certainly an interesting thought. Last edited by Staiain; 07-13-2018 at 10:12 AM.. |
