This rings so true with me and my experiences too. I didn’t start transitioning until I was 33 because of this stigma, and I have similar problems separating reality with this perverted portrayal of transness I grew up with.
This post makes me feel a bit better and a little less alone. Thank you for taking the time to post it. I love you, stranger on the Internet. I’m happy you’ve found yourself.
Hey! Actual trans person. I want to start by saying please use Transgender, not transexual. It’s a dysphoria around gender and the outdated transexual term ties it to sexuality. In reality, those are very different, even if they may be closely associated in general thought.
Some of what you are describing you did when you were younger was exploring your gender. I personally think that’s great, and I think everyone should at least ask themselves how they feel about their identity and try things out if they find themselves curious. Like you, they might not find that they are trans and that’s ok! That actually happens a lot, though most cis folks don’t tend to question or think about their gender much.
As for me, when I was a kid, I just felt wrong whenever I was strongly gendered as male. I felt how you feel about your masculinity when I could get away with feminine choices. The Internet was an escape where I could be anonymous and I clung to it since it let me be more myself. If you’d like to learn more or learn signs that you or others might be experiencing gender dysphoria, I highly recommend https://genderdysphoria.fyi.
L take. I agree it’s behind modern image manipulation software, but it does almost everything that Photoshop did in the early 2010’s at least. It’s considerably better than current-day paint.
You’re full of enough hot takes to melt steel. Phobia means extreme aversion or fear. Your assertion that something does not exist does not mean it does not exist.
I’ve had good luck with Torrid, especially if you find yourself in the plus size women’s category.
As for shoes, if you mean a size 15 men’s, I think you’re going to have an incredibly hard time finding the women’s equivalent (16.5). I had some luck with Amazon as a size 13 men’s (14.5 women’s), but the higher you go the less options are on there. It might be a good idea to aim for more unisex options from men’s large footwear retailers.
Sure! I’ve had about 5 sessions on the top of my head over about two months now. I have had increased regrowth, though the hairs right now are still very sparse and thin. The treatment definitely reactivated a number of hairs, and hopefully with more treatment I could have full regrowth.
I had never heard of the treatment before my electrologist and I found that finding info online was really difficult regarding how effective it is.
My electrologist offers a treatment called Anaphoresis that they said brings blood to dormant follicles that I have seen some success with. I didn’t see it in this guide and there doesn’t seem to be a lot of info about it via a cursory Google search or two.
I’d be curious to know if anyone here has ever tried it or heard of it? I chose it over topical or pill options.
Judging from your other thread, you know perfectly well most sane people’s take on that rapist. Take the hint and fuck off to 4chan or something.
