I'm not sure that's entirely true, my hips grew (and are still growing) even though I started at 20.
I heard that it got more complicated after 25 but anecdotaly some trans women have reported some hip bone growth after that.
Fat redistribution does the grunt of the work anyways...
I'm really tempted to go on DIY and it's very reassuring to know it's an option, I'm still scared of needles though, but I know that I can basically overcome most of my anxiety if it means relieving gender dysphoria.
I'm not in the US and injection are sadly not predcribed where I live, I am stockpiling my gel though, but I can't get much more than what the pharmacy allows...
Welp, that's terrifying. I'm planning to get an orchiectomy as soon as possible but it's expensive (I'm a student) And the waiting lists can be a bit long.
Hopefully my estrogen supply never cuts off ;(
How long until testicular atrophy is irreversible?
Does anyone know how long (if it happens at all) are testicules irreversibly atrophied from HRT? Basically I'm scared that if I stop HRT they'll just go back to working the way they always have and I'm hoping that they won't.
I've been on HRT mono therapy for a year now and my testosterone has been nearly totally suppressed for the whole time, so I wonder if the girls are done for essentially...
That's so freaking cool i love it! <3
Sadly that isn't the common opinion :((
And I'm the same, except maybe with another bottom, since I'm "the bottom of bottoms" (title given to me by an ex and friends)
Basically yeah! 👍🏻
Sorry, I'll give them back🥺
More than you would think, my previous partner evidently was. she was pretty great but never understood my bottom dysphoria. and always assumed I had "male" desires.
I've heard that even a gynecologist could be "fooled", there is a lot of info about neovaginas out there I'm not sure what is true and what isn't :/ (Joke enjoyed c: )
You make a good point 👍🏻 I was moreso arguing for not disclosing you're trans in situations it might be difficult. I whole heartedly agree with you otherwise<3
At some point I think it's just better not to tell people you're trans , like If you have a neovagina and pass there is literally no visible difference.
I'll just be having you please >.<

My current experience dating as a trans woman
- 1st panel : spongebob in a stand caption reads "Single trans woman"
- 2nd panel : a huge crowd gathered around spongebob
- 3rd panel : spongebob adds a little paper on his table saying "I don't use my penis"
- 4th panel : the whole crowd left.
GROND!
Need a dommy mommy, like bad. I'm ok though 🙂 ( no )
Dangggg I'm the unstable, girl you read mee!
Maybe I'm ignorant but what if they're a chaser and you date them? Like as long as they love you it's ok right? Maybe I'm terminally lonely but, if someone was to take interest in me I'd love it...
I blush extremely easily when I'm aroused or embarrassed . My previous partner used to rely on it to see if her flirting worked and even tried to push it as far as she could to see how red I could get. The answer is very, very red! Even my chest starts blushing at some point! When I have an orgasm I'll often be blushing all over my body. Apparently it's normal and I don't have any health problems...
Also my sense of smell is insane, and I can touch my nose and my elbow with my tongue.
relationships and fear of abandonment
Hey everyone, I'm pretty sure I have a deep rooted fear of abandonment, I'm scared most of the time that my friends will leave me once they find someone more fun or interesting to be with, I don't outwardly act like it but it's really like that and it makes me feel anxious to start new relationships, I don't know if I can trust anyone actually likes me, it's pretty bad because there is this girl I LOVE whomst I spend all my time with she's told me she loved me AND I STILL CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO ACTUALLY BELIEVE HER. It's destroying me. I feel like no one I meet will meet my need for reassurance, it's probably making me needy which I can't help, but which definitely makes me less desirable of a person.
How do I even get better? I don't know why I'm like this...
is there a sub in here to vent about dysphoria?
I currently need something like that but there is no equivalent I've found on here (Lemmy)
I don't think I can do better than looking like a femboy.
I've been 10months on HRT so maybe it's still too early to tell but I genuinely believe I won't pass unless I get FFS, my face was quite masculine before HRT and I think it's not possible to change some stuff without surgical intervention. I have a prominent brow ridge, my jaw is square and my chin is cleft. No matter how hard I try with makeup, voice, eyebrows and hair, I still get sir'd once people see my face. Sorrowfully without much hesitation. It makes me feel terribly illegitimate to call myself a woman when I look like this.
My dysphoria has lowered a lot since starting though and I actually feel alive for once in my life. But maybe it would be better identifying as a femboy until I can get FFS...
The week after laser hair removal is so dysphoria inducing
Like I got another (5th) session of laser on my face and I look like I have really thick beard shadow, I know it's temporary but I have a hard time looking into the mirror... Sadly shaving doesn't do anything because the hair is under the skin. :( It's a tough week but I've had worse <3
Dating
Sorry this is a bit of a depressing subject but I've been feeling down and I kinda want to interact with ppl online.
Basically I'm feeling down because the girl I liked (I'm not out to her) is very likely into another girl (she's bi).
I never dated in my entire life, mostly because I feel like a freak and don't want to seem like a pervert trying to flirt with a girl. I don't know why I feel like this, but it's really taking a toll on me because if even as a relatively attractive guy I couldn't find anyone, how the hell can I find someone now?
I know T4T exists but there are so few trans women where I live, and the queer community is tiny here. I feel like I'll always be a second option to cis women(genital preference) and it just feels bad. I'm scared I'll end up alone. Moreover the HRT is making me crave intimacy so that adds to the pile...
Anyone feels like this too and found how to deal with it?
so everyone thinks I'm a femboy now?
For context I'm not out to anyone and I still boymode (6months HRT)
I was at a party in a bar with friends 1 month ago, we took pictures together and posted them in a discord server, immediately a dude "V" asked if I was a real femboy. So now I have people asking me about it and I didn't reply.
Yesterday I had an eyelid surgery and I sent a picture in the group with my eye patch just for fun and V immediately went "yeah you're 100% a femboy I was certain of it" (in another language) and people AGREED???!!
I don't know what to do, on one hand I want to be a woman not a boy or a man, but on the other, since I probably won't pass until I get FFS I might as well say I am a femboy in the meantime, this way I can pretend to be a man and still wear what I want?
I'm not sure I would get treated better than if I was out as a trans woman. Feminine men get a lot of shit. But femboys seem to be trendy enough to be seen as weirdly cool. Idk...
Les transition de genre sont officiellement interdites pour les mineurs en France( en fait non mais vote du sénat)
Je suis dévastée.
Il est très probable que les moins de 25 ans soient les suivants, ils veulent nous éradiquer.
How important is prolactin?
Hello everyone, I just got my test results back and everything seems to be good, although I'm slightly concerned that my prolactin is too low, it's at 9ng/mL.
I looked up prolactin online and it seems it regulates breast growth and pregnancy, could low prolactin levels slow my breast growth?
Que faire en vu de la montée des idées transphobes?
Coucou, depuis la sortie de Trnsmnia 🤢 Les républicains ont sorti un projet de loi visant à supprimer le droit de transitioner aux mineurs.
En plus d'être transphobe cette proposition de loi et tout droit importé du Royaume-Uni et des idéologies conservatrices américaines.
Il serait évidemment préférable que ce genre de proposition de loi ne puissent jamais voir le jour où être votées, mais je ne sais pas quoi faire pour empêcher cela d'arriver, j'ai l'impression d'être impuissante face au politiciens. Je suis allée manifester et j'ai signé des pétitions, mais n'est il pas possible faire des trucs en plus?
