aerm a bit awkward as i’m already on hormones, but since i haven’t transitioned socially i just realized i need to pick a name

any ideas ? i love the name adella but it feels too like fancy i feel like i would embarass myself to have it as my chosen name cuz it sounds like im taking myself too seriously or something idkidk

I don’t have a specific want to use my ‘girl’ for sexual things persay, i’m not attached to it, it’s more just the fact that i don’t.. really.. wanna put anything in my butt

I see the phrase “use it or lose it” all the time in relation to sexual function while on HRT, but i’m wondering to what extent this is true. Is it possible to hold onto it forever? I don’t know if my aversion to the previously mentioned method of pleasure will last forever, but on the chance it does, will i have no choice but to use that if i want to do anything?

aa title is pretty self explanatory, just took my first dose of estrogen (doing monotherapy)

i’m so freaking excited and happy and relieved, it feels a little unreal as just a few weeks ago i thought i would never have access to HRT lol, don’t even know what to think right now but i know im happy

Genuine question and one that I think of often. Military technology is so advanced now, if half the country had guns it seems like it wouldn’t matter as (the american) government could (and probably would) just use drones, carpet bomb us, chemical weapons & all kinds of more advanced technology.

Is there anything we can do at this point? Are there any ideas? Possibility if enough people got on board some country like China would take it seriously and help?

(on macbook) Downloaded from the mega thread and 1 other site, at first just said “couldn’t expand, error 0” and after deleting and redownloading now it says it’s an unsupported format. The issue with that is that my computer had and still has no problem expanding the .7z file for Pokemon Y and Alpha Sapphire

Looked online and reddit couldn’t find any troubleshooting for this specific problem

Any ideas/help?

Thanks!

hey, title’s pretty self explanatory.

i’m not out irl, live in a red state surrounded by red states so i really have no community so i thought id look for one online. this sub is just named after what i am, so i assumed it could be a good place to look.

would really just appreciate some “i’m here for you”’s and whatnot even if that sounds a bit stupid, i just need someone to hear me and my story

i won’t talk about my age or specific location for privacy reasons but it’s enough to know that i’m not in a place to support myself

it’s gotten really bad, like really bad over the past few weeks. for years i kinda just had the idea that id become an adult and then move somewhere accepting and flourish, but i understand that that’s not how it’s gonna work. of course, ive done irreversible damage by going through puberty which i never thought of, not much can be done there, ill also be stick around my area for like a decade for college/career reasons. i can express myself and act like im just a feminine guy since my family is pretty progressive so at least that’s not a problem

here’s where the real big issue started for me ; when i started looking for hrt.

not sure what i can say here, so i’ll just say that im working on getting it how a lot of other people on reddit do.

i feel fucking terrible, but i needed money. (still do but that’s mostly fixed and not an issue as of right now lmao) this is all new and i was rushing to do so, but i probably would’ve done the same thing anyways if i felt i had more time. i talked to 2 different people online and (again, careful to not say anything i shouldn’t) ended up giving both of them some ‘photography’ for money.

i was scared. i am scared. i feel disgusting. i got sick last night after sobbing about it. i didn’t want to do it but im fighting to keep myself alive here. i just feel terrible, i feel so trapped with this and everything going on in the world. feels obvious to say, but i hate how the world treats us and how it affects us

if people like me were treated like humans by the government i wouldn’t have to do this. i dont want to live my life this way, all i want is for this to one day just be an extremely small part of my life that i can pay as little attention to as possible

i don’t know what else to say, i just really need someone to tell me it’s gonna be okay

again i’m so sorry if this isn’t appropriate for this sub

i live in a red state and i’ve always had the mindset that once i turn 18 ill just go and transition and all will be well and i can move away and even cut off family members if i need to, ive felt like a girl for a long time but i recently went from minimal to serious gender dysphoria, of course just as my country gets crazy anti trans

i don’t know what to do, obviously if i had it my way id start hrt yesterday and just live somewhere else but like, i have my future planned and my education is gonna be expensive and what i want to do is only possible because my dad is quite literally paying for it all out of pocket

my parents aren’t transphobic but i don’t know how they’d feel if they knew they had a daughter, i don’t wanna leave behind my friends and i don’t wanna feel like im pretending to be someone im not anymore

i just wanna live my life without all this, people are ridiculed all around me all day for acting even slightly feminine as men (being called the f slur and whatnot)

even though there are progressive people around here just being a red state the culture around anything lgbtq is so hostile and even if you can have good people around you you just can’t be openly queer and be not have it significantly affect your life

even my friends that are pro lgbtq they don’t know and i’m scared about what will happen if i ever came out

i just don’t want anyone to hate me i love all of my friends so much and i have no idea what their reactions would be

i love so many things about my life and i feel like some day i’ll have to leave all of that behind to live in some safe haven state
