r/transplace

Not much of a story, but, im 17mtf and not really out yet. Im not fem presenting yet, still publicly a man. But yesterday while hanging out with my cousin, a little kid asked if I was a boy or girl, and omfg, I cant even express how happy it makes me!! It makes me so much more confident that one day I'll actually pass. I wasnt dressed feminine, I didnt even have any of my jewelry on (we were at a trampoline park) but the amount of joy I felt, even though I had to say I was a boy was immeasurable!

Im about 3.5 years into my transition I think. Transitioned the day I turned 20 and to this day i hate my body and face I feel like theres been minimal changes, especially in my chest and face. I looked in the mirror and all I saw today was 6 month transition me. Im happy for all my sisters but id be lying if I said i don’t envy how well everything goes for them in as little as two years in. I feel as though I’ll never pass or even be pretty. Can’t afford ffs or anything because Cali is way too expensive and I can’t even move somewhere cheaper.

I try to eat more to gain weight but I don’t notice anything even though I feel like I’m stuffing myself so often. Is there something I’m doing wrong here? I started on injection mono therapy about a year ago, haven’t been able to get my prog for a few months now due to back order so that’s fun.

If you wanna see pics of me they’re on my profile. I haven’t taken any new pics in a little bit and don’t wanna repost them to prevent spamming.

I’m sorry if this is too much of a vent I just feel lost and stuck.
EDIT: any tips or help is greatly appreciated:p

I’m 18 mtf and I just started socially transitioning at university. One of my friends went home for the weekend and came back with two big bags of her old clothes for me! I’m so happy omgggg!!!

I posted last week about my wife filing a protective order. Court was Friday and it was lifted. I had my first visit with them today. It was the first time seeing them in about 3 wks. It was so great just to see them. We watched Totoro, colored, and played foosball for hours. They had a great time too. My heart is full again ♥️♥️♥️

My occupation is probably one of the worst ones to be trans in. I work in construction, specifically I am a (soon to be) 3rd year plumbing Apprentice. I love my crew, and have been pretending to be a gay man at work and they have been receptive to that. I am pretty effeminate on site as well. I'm currently doing my second year of school, a two month program before I go back to work as a third year. Ive decided that I'm going to going to come out once I get back in two weeks. (CW TRANSPHOBIA) Ive heard alot of terrible things about trans people this year. Ive had conversations with people where they called trans people "mutilated". Ive heard us being called pedophiles, tr*nnys, she male, ect. I even had one of my coworkers flash me porn of a trans woman whipping it out just to see how I would react. I would really rather not be trans in this industry, but its what I know how to do, and what keeps me and my fiancee fed and housed (he has work too but makes alot less money than me). I don't think changing companies is going to help. I don't really pass yet, and Ide rather not be trans around of complete strangers. I will say that I am well liked at work. I am kind, forward thinking, autistically endearing, and better than many of my peers at what I do. But I'm so scared. I hate being the odd one out, and my company doesn't even have another woman on site, let alone another queer person. I'm gonna be alone in this, I'm going to be the brunt of alot of slurs, jokes, dead naming, misgendering. Thats just something that I have to accept. I have legal protections here (love you Canada), but I know that doesn't count for much day to day. I know I can take it, I know I am strong, but I also know its going to hurt me alot. I don't know how much hurt I can actually handle. Thats all, I appreciate anybody reading this far. I know this sub can sometimes just be sad trans hour, but I wanted to talk about it. Have a good one.
