I'm 36, and after 36 years of treating my body like shit (three guesses why) I already look like a bad artist's rendition of an old fat person.

I realized during one of my solipsistic evening work commutes a few months ago that my childhood crush on Tifa from FF7 was only partly because she was a polygonic babe but mostly because I also wanted to be a polygonic babe.

I have two kids, I'm more active in their school communities than I'd like to be, I think it's incredibly important to be a strong male role model so my kids don't turn out to be assholes or facists. I really love my wife and I don't want to scare her off, but she's frequently told me that she probably would've been a lesbian if it weren't for me (jokes on her, I guess).

I think, I know what I am. And I know that it's almost 20 years too late to be the woman I want to be on the outside. I can be happy as I am, I guess. But if there was a magic button I could press to be the shape on the outside that I've been yearning for, for years, I'd press it in a heartbeat.

As context I am trans fem and she knew for years that I wanted to be more feminine, but never that I actually would rather be a woman.

I am now on like day 14 of HRT but still have the face of a guy. Apparently from behind I look enough like a girl that some friends joke that from behind we look like a lesbian couple 🫠😬. If they knew that thats a compliment for me 😂

But ... are we a lesbian couple now? and if, then even if i still look like a guy? 🤔

I never used to care what I wore, how I looked, getting a girlfriend, or having friends. All that has changed. In all of my relationships, my ambitions and my life goals, I want to be a girl. Am I valid? Also, may I have some GGD (I’m lowkey addicted)? -Marianne (Mary) she/her

My family lives in a german area known to be the most very right wing leaning.

To me i live with my BF together for 5 years know and i see my family fewer every year.

To the Situation:

My Brother got very upset when i commented to a rightwing Meme he send me, that i just don't found it funny and asked him what was funny about it. I was after that just concerned my father is influencing him, with his rightwing (AfD) Stuff. He said i changed so much he can't even recognize me anymore.

Well yes i changed, and i changed my Opinion on most Topics, LGBTQ Topics in particular.

I have no Idea how i can interact with him now, i will start HRT AS soon it arrives with the next Mail. So is it a good Idea to be quiet and don't interact with my Family for now? I have no Idea how to tell them. Should i just take HRT and show up in Girlmode someday?

So for context: I'm a disabled NEET living with my (transphobic) parents. I cracked just a couple of months ago and I'm not out, I don't know if I ever will.

The doctor was being really nice when I was getting treatment for my illness, until my mum said I'm too whiny, to which she answered "he's a man, they are all like this." They continued joking but I kind of zoned out, and my mum scolded me afterwards for being rude.

Sure I'm used to being called a he, but this felt different. I'm not used to socializing outside of the internet, this sort of interaction isn't common and I just... didn't know what to do. My mum went to the hospital bathroom and I went outside to let myself cry. Unfortunately, she saw me, but it's whatever.

Whoo here we go first time actually doing something to experiment
Hoping for myself this goes well

I just came up with my new name and I do want to test the waters with it (my previous one was too close to my deadname)! I can’t transition for the next 3 years give or take due to situations, so this would definitely help me out in the meantime. Not to mention my first dose of GGD really had me wanting to come back for more so here I am ;-;

Eek!!!!!

Commenter on a TikTok post asking what they would do if they woke up as the opposite gender said they would “be joyous tbf”

Please be kind to others, you don't know what they are going through

On the evening of October 2nd, 2026, I stuck a 1mg finasteride pill and 2mg estradiol pill on my tongue and sent them down with a drink of water. And as someone who has felt euphoric dressing as a pastel goth woman, I think October is a fitting month for my HRT day. I’m mainly testing the waters to see how I feel. I don’t know how to go forward if I don’t feel any different mentally in the next few months. Would that mean HRT isn’t for me, or would it just be because it’s too low of a dose to make a difference? It’s been about 13 hours since I took the pills, and nothing feels any different yet. No emotional boosts or emotional distress. The only feeling I can think about right now is the stuffiness and pressure happening from this cold I’ve been dealing with. I hope that doesn’t interfere with any emotional boost that HRT would give me.

After MANY years of questioning my gender. After pressing the button "change me into a girl" a few times, waiting, and getting excited after it said that i'm a girl. Etc. I have accepted that I am trans. (don't know specifics yet)

Have no plans of GTA 6. Just thought I'd make a meme

Yesterday I was in college, and there’s this one trans dude in like the year below me, and he got deadnamed by my teacher on accident (I think it’s cus his deadname’s still on the system or something), and she was really apologetic and everyone was super nice and supportive and chill about it. Meanwhile my goofy boofy ahh is stuck arbitrarily not opening up to people I know for a quantifiable fact would be chill and supportive. Fml

it's been 84 (~6?) years.........
