I’m a 35 trans woman that has been battling the “what ifs” and “is it worth it” thoughts. So I wanted to prove to myself that I was or was not. I always knew I was, but fear is a real asshole. My therapist and I determined that biochemical dysphoria is likely big for me. So I started depo-estradiol and used it for two weeks. I had a bit of time where I could experiment and just see.

After the first dose I was focused on seeing if anything felt different…it didn’t. No noticeable change. This was disheartening because I saw so many people say they felt the fog lift and the relief within hours or a day or two. I went the whole week and noticed nothing.

The second shot. I almost didn’t take another dose, but I decided I better give it a real chance to find out and so I took it. Within a day of the second dose. I felt the effects. I discovered that I do have emotions. I’ve always just been an eh type person. The only emotions was anger and then just bland. But now I feel things. I teared up at situations. I felt joy. I was happy maybe for the first time ever. I caught myself smiling. Not faking it to get by. I caught myself smiling just because. I talked more at work instead of being a grumpy knot on a log. I enjoyed my existence. I was happy to be alive and that might be the first time in my life.

So I have to stop the treatment for now. I have things I have to get settled in my life before I actually start. But I have my answer. I am a trans woman and I will not deny myself any longer.

TL;DR:
I took two weeks of estrogen injections. I did this as a trial to see if I am really a trans woman. I experience joy, and sadness, and just emotions in general for the first time ever. I was actually happy to be alive for the first time ever. I now know for sure I am a trans woman.

My partner and I are expecting our first baby in late August and are trying to find a safe, stable place to live as soon as possible. We’re currently staying in a temporary Airbnb while we search, which has been stressful and expensive.

The rental market has been incredibly competitive, and it has been discouraging to keep finding places that are gone quickly or won’t consider us because one of us has poor credit.

We are both employed and make about $60,000 a year combined. We have good rental history, no felonies, and one of us has good credit. We also have a qualified cosigner available if needed and can provide proof of income and references.

We’re looking for a 2-bedroom in Minneapolis, St. Paul, or the surrounding area. A safe neighborhood and in-unit washer and dryer are especially important to us with a baby coming soon.

We’re responsible tenants and ready to move ASAP. We’re just hoping to find a landlord who is willing to look at our full application instead of automatically rejecting us based on one credit score. Any legitimate leads would mean a lot to us.

Any got more info then there website?

Like what even is a mosh?

I'm also curious about how many puppygirl?

Or lesbians?

Other trans woman?

Are in the group?

As im Trans Lesbian.

And have been puppygirl pilled......so yea....

Hello! I am seeking a roommate to move in on or after August 1st, rent is $620 + utilities, the lease is 12 months.

We are a household of 4 nonbinary people living in a house in St Paul. We have one bedroom available on the basement level of our house, and it has a bathroom on the same level that would be a private bathroom for the person moving in. The only other room on that level is our unfinished craft/storage room which we access infrequently, and there is a door at the top of the basement stairs. We have a laundry room on the main level, along with the open living room-kitchen space. There is a spacious back yard and we live on a quiet street. We have a cat who is very sweet but does not like other animals or lots of guests.

Our landlord is the person who built the house (~4 years ago), he is very responsive to maintenance requests, takes care of lawn care and snow removal, and collects rent via check. 

We are looking for a roommate who is queer (trans ideally!), leftist, does not have any cats or dogs, might hang out with us occasionally, and is a good communicator!!

The four of us are good friends and three of us have been living together for 6 years. We like to play board games, watch movies, go to art fairs, & go out to eat together. We all like TTRPGs, video games, and reading.

If you are interested, send me a message and we can discuss meeting for a vibe check and talking through questions!

So, I have a black tie wedding in August. I'm thinking maybe a consignment prom dress. I recently lost my job is it needs to be very affordable. But I don't want to desk with transohobia while trying to feel beautiful. Any recommendations on local stores?

THAT called me cute 😍 while i was getting gas.

Ah who ever drives a white Kia soul, has hot pink hair and 4 piercings at corners of mouth.

THANK YOU.

And NOTHING fits?

Ah

Im kind of doing this blind.

I want a bra for my tits?

Not cis woman's tits.

Can someone Help?

Seeking recommendations for a primary care physician in downtown Minneapolis (Hennepin Healthcare) who works with trans men and provides surgery referrals. I am a trans man in my mid-20s who recently moved to the Twin Cities. Thank you.

“Our Voices, Our Future” is this year’s theme of the Twin Cities Pride Festival, and the grand marshal isn’t just one person championing LGBTQ+ lives, it’s the entire community.

I’m here as a trans masc person for pride weekend and looking for anyone’s favorite go to trans friendly bars and clubs. I’m a huge fan of dive bars but I’ll always get down on a dance floor! Any spaces where people might be chattier to just make friends and get a lay of the land is preferred though hence the dive-ier bars! Looking for downtown and north loop area if possible :) !!

BUT THERES NO INFORMATION ABOUT WHERE NEW WORLD IS

Are there any queer people making films in the twin cities? I’ve been looking for some other queer people interested in making film and I was wondering if there were local groups or something similar

I have BCBS BluePlus Minnesota Care through the state. I want to get started on top surgery, does anyone have any recommendations on surgeons and mental health professionals (for a recomendation letter) that take my insurance? id be hoping for a shorter wait if possible, up to 6-8 months and im comfortable with newer surgeons if it shortens the wait time. Just hoping to get it done over the winter.

I've been transitioning for 6 years. I came out a long time ago. But I have serious, serious self-loathing surrounding what I was assigned at birth. I'm looking for a trans therapist or a therapist who's good with trans issues who can help me with this deeper issue. My current therapist doesn't seem very equipped to deal with these things.

Hey all! I'm looking to get a bit more active and am wondering if a casual sports league or free play place would be good to join. Does anyone have recommendations for a good trans-welcoming group in/around Minneapolis? I was considering something like pickleball or tennis, but am open to hearing about other options.

I’m curious if anyone knows of any tattoo artists in the area that do camouflage scar coverup? I had top surgery six years ago and while my scars are fairly white, I have some faint redness still I’d like to cover up. I’ve seen tattooing where they essentially mask the scar with skin color ink so I’m looking for something like that and not artwork to cover scars.
