For transgender people who don't have a history of significant mental illness, abuse, trauma, or neurodivergence (such as autism), how do you view transgender people who do? (The majority of transgender people iv seen or met have had atleast one or all of the issues listed) Do you think those factors can contribute to someone identifying as transgender, or do you believe they have no bearing on whether someone is genuinely transgender? And do you ever think that some people may identify as transgender because they're confused or because of those experiences, rather than because they're actually transgender?

Does the extra weight help with the pointy boob effect that early stage development causes?​ did you still see fat redistribution without losing and then gaining back weight?

I’m 20 and bigender (he/she/it) and would consider myself more transsexual than transgender, for me that means I’m currently on hrt testosterone and working out to be perceived more male physically but I don’t necessarily mind being perceived as a feminine person (sometimes even a girl if dysphorias leaving me alone that day) aesthetic wise

Anyways I’m bi and I’ve tried dating men (both trans and cis) and I’m just so over it. I so wish to meet a girlfriend but I’ve realized through experience it would be a lot better on me mentally to date someone who is also trans so they understand certain things that are important to me that someone cis never would

The problem is although I’ve got a fairly complicated gender identity people tend to just read me as a feminine trans man, and I find that every trans girl I meet is either into much more masculine men or fellow trans girls

I’m just wondering if any of y’all trans fems on here would ever date a fem trans guy (who’s on T)? to see if there’s any hope for me lol

Thanks in advance!💔

Hello. Im trying to get more into witchcraft recently. I was wondering if there was any discords or subs anyone knows about relating to trans witchcraft 🧹🌙??

Also does anyone know any good spells to boost my transition??

hello hello, i'm 22y/o(23 in december) and i'm AMAB, while i know YMMV and all; i'm still curious on what y'all think on my situation since tomorrow i should be able to finally get on HRT and all, so i was curious

after checking my blood exams i apparenlty have 350 ng/dL T (which seems to be on the lower end of the avarage T levels?) and 31.2 ng/L E (which if the paper is correct it's almost the highest of the avarage E levels, not too sure about that but the it does mark <15-31.5 as the avarage E levels?)

i've always been thin no matter what i ate, so i presume i have a pretty high metabolism especially bc i don't work out at all; i am 54.4 KG and should be 1.80m tall

imma warn i'm not too good with medicine and this kind of information so i dunno if these are the correct infos... but i'm getting on progynova (2mg 1 tablet[not sure how to call it in english sorry-] a day) and androcur (50mg 1/2 tablet a day)

other than that i'd say my family has generally always been on the bigger side with chest and all, at least on my mother's side and also my sister (also what would you suggest to do to get bigger thighs? as i said i'm tremendously thin and don't work out plus i have an high metabolism so i wonder what i should be doin, especially bc there's the whole fat redistribution matter which doesn't happen immediately so how should i be handling that to have the fat go in the correct places?)

so yeah i wonder what y'all think my prospects might look like and what i should be expecting in the next months

im 14 mtf and ive known i was trans for a while now. for a year or two now ive had unbearable gender dysphoria and had like nobody to talk to about it. my parents would freak out and probably scold me or worse if i transitioned. my other family feels the same and so do all of my friends.

i feel like theres no escape from dysphoria. ill always be depressed. nobody will ever love me for me. ill have to live a life as a man forever.

ive tried to contact literally any resources i could in my country and they told me to transition but i dont think i could do it. ive heard so many stories about trans people and bad things happening after transitioning its awful.

i sort of like my life i dont want to lose it. i want everything to be nice and peaceful. me transitioning would cause so much chaos.

and also ive heard estrogen being horrible cause it messes with your emotions and stuff. and the results from bottom surgery not looking like cis womens. it being really expensive.

i dont know what to do please help

J.K. Rowling posted an upskirting photo of a trans woman to her 13.7 million followers in retaliation for said woman refusing to unblock her on Twitter. In response, Gina Martin — lead campaigner behind the UK's 2019 upskirting laws — came out in support of Rowling's victim, Freda Wallace.

I really like swimming, but I haven't been able to in years because I'd feel terrible showing my body in the middle of tons of strangers, and I feel like it would attract tons of unwanted attention.

I feel like I could feel enough at ease to have a decent time if I was surrounded by people who are more like me and would actually understand... Are there any establishments like this..? I live in France, so American places wouldn't really suit me, but with the confirmation that this kind of place actually exists, I could look to see if there is any close enough to where I live...!

I'd really like to feel what it's like to swim again without any of the dysphoria and social pressure..

Hello there, I'm Zac. This is my second time here.

I previously asked about advice for writing my Trans Character Aaron Miles, thank you to u/Laura_Sandra for help with that.

I am here to ask for advice on an intended character growth moment for Aaron. During this point in the story, every character ends up having to do the whole training to get stronger, but the major point is that they all have to accept that they are unable to change the past.

This is where I’m iffy, a direct quote from Honovi(MC’s grandmother/the mentor figure) is “Listen, You can’t change that Juliet used to exist, as much as I can't change Sammy’s death. We can only keep moving, Stop being hung up on what Juliet discovered, it’s yours now. My eyes are shot but I don’t see a girl in front of me, I see Ultra-Violet.”

I’m iffy on Honovi using his Deadname but have been told that it's written well enough to send the point of them not being the same person.

(P.S: Juliet is Aaron’s deadname. His hero name is Ultra-Violet. He was holding back a major facet of his powers because he discovered it pre-transition)

All advice welcome and if you’d like any extra info on Aaron, please ask me.

I’m currently 16. I really wanna get on HRT, but through legal means it would probably take me close to 2 years before I can actually start. The waiting lists are abysmal in my country. I’m considering starting DIY, since I def will fall in some kind of depression if I don’t start HRT within like a year. (Parents are supportive, but they are sceptical about DIY and they would rather me do it the legal way.) Should I wait or just start DIY?

Any advice for trans people visiting West Virginia? Specifically curious about Morgantown but also about different areas across the whole state. Thanks so much!
Editing to ad that some of the scenarios I'm curious about are bars and restaurants, bathrooms, campsites, gas stations and rest stops, street violence, and bathrooms again just to doublecheck. 🧚‍♀️🌞
Sorry, editing again to add that it's pretty likely that most people will correctly guess that I am trans and that's just sort of one of the basic premises of this scenario ⏰
