Have a genuine question about How trans corn is getting traction every year coming one of the top searched category but in the other hand trans visibility and trans rights are getting downgraded into a level of we are in between a genocide yet no one cares. New bills coming, new oppressive rules coming. Openly invalidating our existence by major political leaders, yet no one cares.. Why is this? Will this change? I think we had all the signals of progressive in 2016-2017 era but the downfall is unbelievable and unbearable at this point.

Hi everyone. I’m 25 and a trans female questioning my gender identity. Lately I’ve been feeling that I really need someone to talk to and I think I’d benefit from speaking with someone who has experience in counseling, psychiatric work, or gender-affirming care and is familiar with trans or questioning experiences.

The problem is that I’m not in a good financial position right now and I also don’t have much privacy, so meeting a professional locally or even online isn’t really possible for me at the moment.

So I wanted to ask if there’s anyone in this community who has experience in these areas and might be open to talking with me. I’m not trying to pressure anyone, I’m just wondering whether something like this is possible here.

Because of privacy reasons I’m not really comfortable with video calls. Maybe we could use a space like Discord or something similar. Audio would probably work better for me than only texting.

If anyone feels they might be able to help, feel free to DM me and we can figure out a safe way to communicate.

Thanks…

I am 25, I’ve been questioning my gender a lot lately and I think I might fall somewhere under the transfem umbrella, but I’m still unsure and trying to understand myself better.

The hard part is that I can’t really experiment or express any of it openly right now because of lack of privacy and financial issues, so everything mostly stays in my head. Sometimes I wonder if I’d understand myself more clearly if I actually had the freedom to explore any of this properly instead of constantly overthinking it alone.

Lately I’ve been reading a lot of other people’s experiences and realizing how different everyone’s journey seems to be. I honestly keep wondering how people knew the feelings were real before they were actually able to try anything outwardly.

I hope every trans person finds at least one space where they can relax and stop performing survival all the time.

A place where they don’t have to explain themselves, defend themselves, or constantly stay emotionally guarded. Just somewhere they can breathe, exist softly, laugh a little, and feel safe being human.

Everyone deserves that. My that place is Reddit what’s yours..

I’ve been wondering if some trans women choose to do things like laser hair removal/electrolysis, FFS, breast augmentation, or even SRS without taking HRT.

Is that actually common or possible?
Do surgeons usually require hormones first, especially for BA or SRS?

I’m also curious about people who don’t want HRT for medical, personal, or nonbinary reasons but still want certain parts of transition.

Would love to hear personal experiences or what the process was like for you or your opinion…

I am amab 25, I am kind of in a difficult circumstance to get into hrt. My possibilities are in the very low side. I wish I was born in a much more trans friendly country with a more open society. But I know there is a certain limits I have to keep because I look like a guy so I still haven’t concluded or accepted anything, mostly I consider I am a questioning guy. But I just wanted to know can I be atleast part of online trans woman community if one day I accept it fully but still not getting hrt. This is not about physically being in a place as a woman this is more about cognitively being a part of trans woman community.

Is not liking Eliot Page as Achilles Transphobic, because there is a big backlash over it

Edit - Not me but there is a backlash about it, last time for fantastic beast people didn’t like replacing Jonny Depp, like that is it preference or transphobia in this scenario
