r/transfem

I am 60 and grew up in the 70s and 80s. As a child, I had curly hair, blue eyes, and long eyelashes, often mistaken for a girl, especially by women who praised my appearance and wished they had my hair and eyelashes. At 11, staying at a friend's house, his mom bent down to greet me without a bra under her shirt. I saw her breasts, and I thought I couldn't wait to have breasts too. I was confused growing up due to limited information about being trans. In the 90s, I got married. The internet made it easy to look up information about being trans. My wife found my internet history, and we got divorced.

I am now married to my wonderful wife, and we have an awesome daughter. I have always been attached to women but at the same time wanted to be a woman. I spent years of wanting this feeling to go away. Now, at 60 my egg has cracked. I am a trans woman.

COPY OF A POST I MADE TO TUMBLR, APOLOGIES FOR FORMATTING ERRORS IM DRUNK

I'm taking my first steps to getting top surgery, and I've been thinking a lot about my own personal feelings on it. I spent a really long time being super ashamed that I couldn't follow the "ideal" formula of taking HRT and getting perfectly natural, cis passing, or even just noticeable breast growth. That shit just didn't happen to me, and I worried about it, obsessed over it, cried myself to sleep over the feeling that I just need to do just a little more. I want to maybe see more representation of girls who maybe weren't so lucky. I think there's a lot to be said for how much I've seen of people drawing their transmasc characters with top surgery scars, but l've never seen a transfem character with a scar along the inside of her armpit, or even a hint on the underside of her breast. I think there's also a lot of societal stigma around breast enhancement and I think a lot of people carry that with them.

So my dead name is Vicente and like I'm using Emily right now but my family doesn't like it because they say it's not a pretty name so I don't now if I have to change it so I need help with that

Hi, I'm 23M and over the past few years I've been having thoughts about how I would rather be a woman. It might be due to being badly treated as a man, often from other girls and my university. I also like women's fashion as well. I don't really know where to start as I am mixed race and have thick eyebrows, so I'm not the most feminine looking. However, I also don't look very masculine either. I more or less look like a Mr Bean clone, but younger. Idk what advice you have?

Is something wrong with me specifically? I feel like I just can't find a genuine friendship with someone who is a girls girl. I feel like it's just so difficult for some reason. I try my best to find friends, but I always seem to find a way to mess it up. I don't understand. I'm just being me. This is going to sound weird, but I just want someone who I can be super casual with and laugh at and have fun and just play games and stuff. Is that too much to ask for? I think I need help.
