r/transfem

I feel less manly. Also, believe it or not, i gained weight

Should be noted that I’m not currently on HRT and can’t start yet for safety reasons. I’m very early into transition (started in April) and I wanna know if there’s more that I can be doing to look the way I want to. Btw, the boobs in the second picture are literally just fabric I put into a tied off tank top. I ordered an actual bra with padding so that should help at least with body shape

hey.. hope everyones having a great day! ive always known I was more feminine and i just stumbled upon this sub.. hope Ill meet more transfem people :3

In honor of my 6-month HRTiversary, I figured I would post some of my favorite outfits I’ve assembled recently. 🩵🤍🩷

Hello everyone!

I have recently became conscious of all the difficulties I had with being a man, and I have been heavily questioning my identity since.

I am unsure about my transidentity yet, and I am scared about whether I will love myself if I was to transition. I don't really know how to ask this, and I know no one can answer that question, but do you feel like I'd have good chances with a physical gender transition?

I am 25 years old, I decided to shave my beard which felt amazing, and the two first picture are how I am at work. The last 3 pictures are me trying lipstick and eyeliner at home 🙏 I feel more euphoric with my face slightly turned, but feel very masc when looking straight at the camera. I also know my biggest struggle is my hairline for which I started Minoxidil 2 months ago with almost no progress so far.

I'm also happy with any advice in general, both physical and how to apprehend my identity questions! My next steps are to trim my eyebrows, learn make up especially for the beard shadow, improve my skin and hair routine, and meet a psychologist more specialized in such questions.

Lots of love on all of you 🌼

Dysphoria sucks.

Hey! Please be gentle this is my first real post here… hopefully I don’t get blocked by the karma gods. I’ve been exploring my feminine side for a couple years, recently started taking it more seriously. Would really like to make some friends and get into the community, I feel like once I truly come out I might not have anyone left :/

I hate it. I hate being trans. Like im at this weird stage where no one knows how to take me. I'm really so exhausted from all the misgendering and hate.

I have to deal with weird guys coming up to be but getting affirmed but then still copping sir and man. It's like the worst of both worlds. I've been just non stop crying. The stress of regular misgendering is really wiping me out all my energy in just over performing my gender. My voice hurts from over doing my voice

I won't detransition because I wanted to transition for most of my life but I hate it. I want to become a recluse at this stage. I looked better in my first year before all the stress and misgendering and trauma has just rotted me out. I'll be okay. I keep pushing on for a better future that may never arrive. But that's all I can do.... keep working hard I guess... crying just wish I wasn't trans but I am. Its something I have dealt with my whole life
