Just epilated for the first time and I'm in love with how smooth I am but holy shit that was agony.

I have to come out in college, and I don't know what to expect...

For context, I (FtM) haven't started the transition process yet, and I figured out just four months ago. I have a year and a half of my degree program left, but I’ve started worrying about my legal name, as official certificates are being generated, which will be an issue, and I’m already thinking about my diploma and the hassle of having to change it later. I discussed it with the university directives, as my therapists suggested, and they were very respectful and understanding; however, I was advised to legally change my name so it would be updated in the records, and they offered to draft a letter for my faculty; but that would mean outing me to my classmates and professors, and I don't feel at all ready for that! Everything is going too fast…

In my field, we’re expected to have an open mind since we’ll be working with people and dealing with cases like this, and I get along with my classmates pretty well, teachers see me as a good student, but I’m afraid things might get awkward, and I don't know how open-minded everyone really is. Also, I didn't exactly give off many signs, other than being a bit reserved or socially awkward, so I don’t know how they’ll take it; I hadn't even told my best friend, I’m planning to tell her first. Has anyone else been through this? How did you handle it?

I’m pretty sure in trans

I wanna be a girl so badly but I can’t do anything feminine cause everyone in my family is transphobic

I also wanna start hrt but my broke ahh can’t afford it

she went through my insta and saw all the accounts i was following, she berrrated me for over an hour when i got home and called me the f slur at least 10 times. she told me things like trans ppl arent real and that i was ruining not only my but my families lives by transitioning. she also stole my phone and wallet, and saud she wont help with college tuition.

i had to go to my dads, but im probobly going to have to come out to him tomorow in order to get my stuff back

i didnt mean for it to happen like this.

i wasnt ready

Yes I’m aware this is like my 8th “am I actually trans though” post in two weeks. But I made a lot of progress in accepting and have now been yanked back.

Saw a post that was just a “I slept with your mom” joke but the setup was talking about how HRT would make you look like your mom, not the top OF models or waifu characters. And… like, look, I already knew this, but the bluntness of that post made me reflect on things. I don’t feel like I want to look like my mom. I don’t feel like I’d be happier looking like that. Now, my aunt/cousins on my dad’s side? Yeah I’d love to look like them. But I’d also prefer looking like Leon Kennedy to how I look now. And if my metric is “I want to be a woman, but only in a specific way, and I’d also probably be happier as a different form of guy,” then isn’t it more just self-hatred than being trans? I hate my body and have for a REALLY long time. And not in the “it should be a woman’s body” way, in the “I’m fat and ugly” way.

I don’t know. If any has advice for differentiating these feelings I’d appreciate it.

I feel a deep sense of longing towards the concept of a gentleman. Sometimes I listen to love songs and can't help but yearn to be the male narrator. Lord, am I asking for too much? 😭

i don't think that my parents are safe, i only see my sister like once a month, and i'm not really close with any of my friends, so i only see them like once a day~week during school. i know my friends and sister would be supportive but i don't know how to talk to them about anything, or when...

Album artwork for a DarkSynth album I've become obsessed with gave me gender Envy so I made a meme about it.

Does anyone else imagine scenarios a but too well, and end up feeling awful and traumatized afterwards. It's always painful ones too, like being abandoned or even Raped. I don't why I do it, maybe theirs a lot more self hatred than I thought, or maybe I am just broken.

i got my first job recently working retail and a lot of customers use she/her for me but then correct themselves after seeing my nametag and hearing my voice T~T

To clarify some things:

1. The friend I was talking to (let's name him friend 1) doesn't know that I have a crush on the other friend (friend 2).
2. Friend 2 is obsessed with goth girls.
3. I texted friend 1 that I'm questioning my gender like 4 weeks ago but now I'm more convinced that I'm a girl and I haven't talked to him since then.
4. Friend 1 has a girlfriend.

HAPPY SPOOKY MONTH (im going to do makeup, shave, and be very pretty)

I just had to listen to my mom and my brother argue about trans issues for an hour straight. My mom is the textbook stereotype of a Terf, she never uses my brother's preferred pronouns, thinks trans women merely existing in female spaces somehow makes them a threat, thinks trans people having a high rate of depression diagnosis is "propaganda", and she's still a harry potter fan (as you can see in the attached image she gave me these harry potter themed sweets one time that were complete trash BTW)

It sucks having to put up with this, can I get some GGD please (Abigail She/Her)

Originally wanted to post this in said discord server until I realised I couldn’t send images in there so I decided to repurpose it for this subreddit :)

(Art is by Sharlene Yap, you should check her stuff out!)

So, I first came out to a friend about a week ago, and despite a good few hiccups, I think the egg may have actually broken. Now, I've been considering names, and I think I'm ready to try them out, and maybe get some feedback!

My original idea for a name was Agnes. We do have a cat named Agnes, which feels a little weird, but I think I could make it work. more recently though, I've started thinking of the name Myla. I asked for some GDD a few days ago under this name, but I'm still trying to decide if I like it better.

Myla is VERY close to my deadname, so much so that they actually share their British and Latin roots( They both mean "Merciful Soldier," which I've always thought was a cool sort of dichotomy). I do really like the name, and I kind of like that it sort of gives a continuation of my past self. But will I continue to feel that way? Since I first came out, I've experienced dysphoria about an increasing number of things and my deadname doesn't *really* bother me, but IDK if that'll change in the future. I've also heard a lot of people say it sounds made up or is a "tragedeigh," Which I know isn't true, but still feels kinda weird.

Anyways, thank you for listening to me yap, I think I'm ready now for some GDD, along with some feedback, good or bad, on names. Myla, She/They :)
