Like mosquito bite tiny. I’m almost ashamed of them.. I’m 22MtF and have been on HRT since October of 2024. I’ve been on and off progesterone since starting. They still look terrible. I know it takes time but I keep seeing others saying theirs are much larger with less time on HRT. Did I do something wrong? I’m probably gonna need implants cause my chest looks fucking gross

I’m 22 and have never been with anyone in my life. I have never even kissed someone. I’ve been transitioning for nearly a couple years now and the further I continue and the further I read comments from cis people who never want to date us, I’m really beginning to lose hope. Maybe I’m doomed to wander alone forever. All I’ve ever wanted is an intimate connection with someone but who knows if I’ll ever even get that.

I (22MTF) started transitioning at 20 about a couple years ago. When I initially started, a had a variety of friends groups with both boys and girls. However, I’ve kind of lost a lot of those connections I had after socially transitioning and the only people I really talk to are my guy friends from high school on discord.

To make matters worse, I didn’t really have any female friends in high school. I was the fat, socially awkward kid. I can’t really blame people for not wanting to interact with me.

The closest girl friend I genuinely ever had was my brother’s ex a few years ago. We were actually good friends and hung out together whenever he was away or busy. Unfortunately we kind of fell out after they broke up.

And now I’m sitting here realizing that my experience and socialization is everything transphobes criticize. I was not socialized around women when I was younger. And I almost feel gross now for being this way

I've (22 mtf) been socially transitioned at work for like a year at this point. I had been on HRT for quite some months prior to that.

While clocking out today, my lead hit me with a "Thank you Sir" before awkwardly correcting himself. To make matters worse, another one of my coworkers was right there and overheard. Like, I know you'll never actually see me as a woman but you could of at least tried a little harder to hide it. Who else secretly still views me as a man? Do I not pass enough? I don't know what else to do besides literally putting on a full face every morning.

Not even my own biological father, who is also a transgender woman. My papa, who is supportive but clearly doesn't actually look at me as a woman, referred to me and my twin brother as "the boys". Its been much more few and far between since transitioning but it does remind me that he doesn't actually see me any different. My dad( transgender woman) proceeded to reply to him with the stupid same "the boys" shit and I nearly fucking lost it. Just because I grew up a boy doesn't give you all the right to refer to any past version of myself as male whenever you so fucking please.

I'd rather people just straight up tell me they still see me as a man rather than try and attempt to be supportive. "THE BOYS" fuck off. Eww.

I've been growing my hair out for a couple years now from short length and recently burnt a few ends last night. I need to go get a trim but I'm absolutely terrified of the person cutting my hair not listening and cutting more than I want off. All I want is a 1/2"-1" cut ott so it can start growing healthy again. If anyone please has any stylist recommendations please lmk, preferably ones that won't be hostile towards trans women or maliciously cut my hair in a way that I won't like.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S24+ and it has its own set of issues. However, I went to work today and got off and now my wifi and Bluetooth are REFUSING to turn on. The switch just stays gray and doesn't do anything. Please help i literally did nothing

Meanwhile, they'll still laugh at a joke at the expense of someone's transness. Allies only want to be allies when they recieve something positive from doing such. If they tell themselves they support trans people, they still laugh at any trans person all they want cause they think theyre an ally.

I wrote this because I was hosting a 4th of July thing yesterday and as I was getting up and walking away for something, I could hear someone mutter "stupid transgender" under their breath.

I(22mtf) USUALLY get gendered correctly by customers at work, both strangers and regular shoppers. I'll get gendered correctly like 85-90% but I still get misgendered occasionally, usually by older folks. It feels like it ruins every other time I'm gendered correctly, as if it was only done to not be rude. I can't tell if strangers are only using the correct pronouns to not hurt my feelings rather than them genuinely seeing me as a woman. And it seems like its the latter.

It doesn't matter how "ma'ams" or "shes" I'm called in a day if someone else calls me "sir" or "he", cause than it all just feels like a big fat lie.

I'm 22MTF and have been with my current dentist/ortho since I was like 8 years old. I was born with a cleft lip and palate which is why I'm still with them and in braces. I also started transitioning in 2024 but wasn't out to them and socially transitioned until around this time last year.

I go in every month I usually have the same hygienist each time. She is nice and we chat a little, but I've always noticed she struggles with correct pronouns even though she gets my name right. This includes one time she called me "mister" (I was already well out at this point) which she then caught herself. This habit also applies to other hygienists and even the dentist himself. Sometimes they might correct themselves but usually not.

The reason I bring this up is its really hard to deal with consistent misgenderings while getting teeth worked on. I'm already uncomfortable physically and it always ends up adding another level of uncomfortableness, especially if other patients are around. I usually try and ignore it but the more it happens, the sadder I get and the more I start to dissociate and cry. There have been multiple times I've been fighting back tears throughout my appointments just trying to get through, only to end up looking like a mess at the end. I could tell the receptionist was wondering what the fuck was wrong with me, even though we had a good conversation when I first got there.

I feel like I might be overreacting here but I want opinions from the rest of yall.

I've been on HRT for like 20 months at this point but only in about the past year were they in range. I'm concerned that I won't end up seeing any facial structure changes or fat redistribution. Around what mark did you all notice if at all?

Obviously he is currently on IL but I haven't heard any news whatsoever on his recovery/rehab yet. Don't even remember what his injury even is at this point. If anyone has any updates, please share
