Hiiii girls! So I'm about 3 months on HRT now, and I've had lots of body hair growth slowing down a ton, well I have been shaving my beard for the past month or so, but this last week just let it grow (I'm still boymoding publicly) because I just didn't feel like shaving it and I'm getting closer to laser treatments soon anyways.

Anyway, my beard is usually a pretty full beard but letting it grow in this time it seems to be very patchy/some of the hairs are practically blonde now (I generally have very dark, near-black coarse hair). Like the middle of my upper lip has practically no hair. Essentially I can't grow a beard again even if I want to so I guess I'm back to shaving every day as I went from looking like a man with a beard to a teenage boy with patchy af facial hair. So many spots that just aren't growing in like the rest.

Isn't this unusual? Everything I'm googling basically says "HRT generally won't get rid of facial hair", and I mean obviously most of it is still here but some of it seems to just be disappearing, though I'm worried this will effect my laser treatment in the future as well. Anyone else experience similar to this??

I’m trans. And there’s nothing i can do about it.

I got the surgery in South Korea under Dr. Kyulhee Kim. Recovery has been generally smooth. AMA!

This is more of a question but I recently thought about something, i hear other girls on e don’t really get erections anymore and like why is that not happening to me? Like dont get me wrong my other changes are very apparent, and i dont get morning or random ones. But when i wanna get in the mood its fairly easy and i was just wondering wait is that a sign my dosage isnt high enough? They keep asking me at my clinic if my dosage js okay but i have no idea what to tell from it so idk. I might just be overthinking right now but idk i wanna make sure im not limiting myself from even more changes or something.

i just booked an appointment with planned parenthood to get started on hrt! i want to do injections; can i just tell them that? i have insurance, but will there any any out-of-pocket costs? is planned parenthood a viable way to go about started hrt or should i have gone diy? sorry, im really nervous and also excited

Does anybody else relate to being end cycle and feeling just an anxious, snappy, rude mess?? I’m 23 and have been on hrt for 5 years this month, I usually take my mone shot at night every Tuesday. Every Tuesday I feel terrible and hate everyone it’s so sick lol

I’ve noticed this even more since I’ve gotten a bf. Every week it feels like I get really snappy towards him and feel bad but the day after my shot I’m so much better and stabilized. He’s even called it out a few times, I guess I just assumed everyone thought I was just a bitch anyways.

Is this a sign I need an increase in my dose or does everyone just feel so grumpy on injection day? 😭

So if I click on reddits search bar, number one on trends is detrans. I dont want to be on reddit anymore. Is there any alternatives for this bs?

hiya, so i’m 18 mtf, and ive been needing to start hormones for years now but couldn’t due to family/not being comfortable talking to anyone about it. but i finally bit the bullet and came out, im on a perscription for estradiol varelate now and plan on starting monotherapy soon. problem is while my parents understand that im trans they dont “believe me” and say i need more life experience. as well as it “negatively affecting everyone else in my family”. to be frank it pissed me off and i plan on moving out as soon as possible, but i was forbidden from doing any hormones as long as i lived with them. so to finally get to my question, how feasible is it to just stealth hrt until i can find a safe place to live instead? i wouldn’t be able to move out until later next year, like 10-12 month. any help would be appreciated sorry if my post was too long.

My mom is in my side said she’s helping me research for some cheap tucking underwear to order it for when i visit her for thanksgiving and I was wondering if there are any good cheap ones that feel closer to actual feminine underwear so if anyone has any specific recommendations that would be amazing if someone could help a trans woman who just started her journey out i forgot to mention that the desire to go MTF has been since i was 10 and i am 24 now ive had to live in secret about it and bottle it wearing a lie because of my situation i would rather not get into that and i just grew the confidence to come out about it to my mom

I recently discovered & realized that I am different well. What made me realize that I'm different I had a body dysmorphia issue that made me realize something when I had a panic attack... Over it. And I think I have gender dysphoria based on that experience something I don't want to deal with and obviously knew I've been different the whole entire time I just you know...

I want to medically transition instead of being social but I live in a current situation that I have family that doesn't support this...

I have a mom that doesn't... She's directly told me in my face indirectly because she doesn't know that "trans people aren't human"...

So I'm not in a good situation right now even though, I'm 21 it's hard finding a place & stuff that is cheap or stuff and I really don't have any friends to lean on. I don't really have any IRL friends for that matter.

I want to medically transition but the only option to me is Planned Parenthood and I have no way of going to the clinic for it either, because I currently don't have a vehicle..

The only option I have to me is possibly diy, and I don't know how to go about that stuff. My main concern is I don't like needles...

I want a medically start now...

It even gets me pissed off when I'm at work and I get called by what I look like... I hate looking like a man... I'm a bigger person so that doesn't really help any either... I'm like 250 ish on a 6ft body frame.

I hate it... I don't know what to do...

i just feel unlovable and unsexy. i feel fetishized and lusted after. but i don't feel beautiful and lovable. i just want to feel that. i don't know if i ever will.

Hiiiiii, im lily im currently 23 and found out that I was trans when I was 17. When I was a teen I did come out to my family and it went horrible and suffered emotional and physical abuse and had really bad paranoia issues which made me worry that if anyone found out they will kill me. But now presently I had been making progress and starting buying cute clothes and I also made a close physical friend that im open being trans around. But I still don't know if hormones are for me. I have a family history of lupus for the women and it makes me worry that i may get lupus if I transition. And for why I want to take hormones im more fixated on being pretty/passing. Like I don't mind being flat chested. But maybe I just need to give myself more time to figure out myself.

where can I(18) find a long term relationship pre-transition? yes I know I should work on myself or whatever, but I’m not in a position to be able to transition, due to family issues that are pretty bad and not at a stage where I could hide my transition from friends whom I don’t want knowing since I don’t live alone. Living alone also terrifies me, as I feel like it’d feel so isolating if I’d have to transition while also worrying about hiding it and finding a partner when I’m a bit older.

people have suggested to date bi, pan, or queer women, but I have no idea where I could meet them, while also making sure they’re someone I have stuff in common with like anime and cosplay and are my type

sorry if this comes off as ranty or disjointed, I’m just in a really tough predicament, the solution feels like it would be simple yet I have not found one yet, any advice would be appreciated greatly, thank you <3

I just want somewhere to vent, I was forced to move from Florida back to Canada in June due to my visa process getting cancelled due to marriage issues.
But when I was in Florida I was fully on my medication, I had a full time job that I loved and the people also loved me at work and I was happy, now that I’m back in Alberta Canada I’m working part time, I get so much more hate and bad looks from people. And to make it worse when I had run out of meds up here my wife was going to bring some when she made her move up to me but when she got here and checked her luggage it wasn’t there (tsa probably took it out since she flew) but that just means that it’s been over 2-3 months since I’ve been on any of my spiro and I’ve had a little bit of estradiol pills that I’ve been stretching to last as long as possible but now I’m at a point where I have no meds and my doctor in Florida takes a week to respond and the clinic near me needs info from them so it’s been like 3 weeks just waiting on emails and for doctors to send it and for things to get done but it’s still taking forever and I’m still at least like 2 weeks away from getting any of my meds and I hate it. I hate how I have been feeling, I feel like such an imposter. I can tell how much the testosterone is messing with my body and how much I notice its changes and I hate it so much. I have never hated my body and myself so much in my life. It wasn’t even this bad before I transitioned. I’m at a point where I just I feel fake. I feel like I’m just a fraud and I want it to end. I want all of this to end, I’m so tired of all the horrible looks and I’m so tired of my body and everything about me, I’m sick of feeling how I have the last few months and I just want it to end already

As the title suggests, I'm not too sure how to react.

We've been out two times and had talked about meeting tonight as well but she had to study for a project, which is all well and good. But, me, having the day off from work went for a drink at a local Irish pub where I saw her with another bloke and I honestly don't know if I should take this personally or not.

I know she's leaving the country in December and that this has a due date, but I'm catching feelings for this woman and I'd like to see where this goes.

I came out to my therapist today as a trans woman. It's the first time I've said it out loud to someone in my life.

The thing is—I've been doing a ton of internal work. Journaling constantly, processing everything, and I *know* I'm trans. But between now and my next session, I'm terrified I'm going to lose the thread or talk myself out of what I know is true.

How do you hold onto your truth when you're carrying it mostly alone? Especially when doubt creeps in and you can't feel it the way you did before?

Working towards telling my wife (18 years together) but trying to get my footing first.

Just got my results back for my first labs post-hrt and honestly don't know fully what I'm looking at lol. Catch me dead before I ask AI about anything, but the research I've been doing is just making my head spin; this is easily the most confusing part for me. Are these numbers good and, more importantly, how do I know what's good and what's not? Are there numbers I'm missing? Should I up my dose (please say yes ya girl is impatient)
