This sentence has always frustrated me, however i had an especially hard day the other day and thinking about this sentence made it especially infuriating.

i got very stuck in my head about the fact that will have to inject medicine into my body every week, and have thousands of dollars worth of surgery that i can’t imagine ever affording just to feel at home in my own body, and even then, i never will feel 100% at home. I change things about my appearance consistently to get a small dose of euphoria to help, but it’s never permanent and i get put back into square one again.

i sit and think about how i have to fight tooth and nail for basic needs, just because my brain decided the sex i was at birth is wrong. what i wouldn’t give in this world to be fine, to not deal with this consistently, even being a girl, id be okay with, if i could. but i cant. i’ve tried many years to ignore it, wear skirts, makeup, bras, be called she/her, be a girl, but it never worked. I think about how my life would’ve been so much easier if i was either a cis woman or a cis man and not this awkward in between and i get even more frustrated.

and then i think about all those people who flaunt their transness, those who call themselves one thing, and do nothing to change it. calling themselves he/him while wearing long wigs, skirts that barely cover their body and provocative shirts that makes sure to accentuate their breasts. it makes me feel that much more like a joke. i think about how much they speak over the trans community of “their trans experiences” or “how they struggle” but silence those who speak on their dysphoria because it “invalidates THEIR experiences”. how much louder they are about their “oppression” and it makes me sick. how can you speak on your struggle when you have none in this regard? how can you talk about your oppression and fighting for your rights when you haven’t even had to fight for it within yourself? they’ll sit here and be selfish, placing all these labels on themselves and speak over trans people’s hurt and deny it’s existence simply because it “invalidates” them doing what they want and not wanting to realize what they’re doing actually harms trans people. it’s dehumanizing, and exhausting. i am tired of fighting with people about trans experiences when they’ve never had to deal with it a day in their life. they don’t have to worry about the oppression or the consequences because they can just take the labels off. they don’t have to worry about losing the rights, or the medication, or the surgeries, because they will never have to have them. they will fight with the trans people who have dealt with these things while saying “people can do what they want with their bodies, why do you care” while using slurs that have never been used against them, and never will, or invading in spaces that they don’t belong in until they’re practically nonexistent.

i am tired of fighting with people about what I struggle with every day. i am tired of being shunned because i want a space to talk about the struggles, or harassed and attacked because i experience dysphoria and they don’t, or told that the hardest thing i deal with on a daily basis isn’t real simply because they can do what they want.

Whenever a discussion on trans or gay issues is happening there is always someone who says “seem like you don’t go outside and don’t talk to elder queers heh…” and it is so weird in my opinion.

The most enraging example is people discussing “ftm lesbians” and saying that “akshually they existed in the 80’s so they’re hecking valid!!1!” as if something existing before the year 2000 makes it some divine rule set in stone.

I don’t think we should be idealising people just because they were born a few years before us. I feel like that is pretty much agreed on when we discuss how older generations normalised child abuse etc… the point is, many views from that time are now considered outdated, for a good reason.

I don’t care that someone in the 80’s identified as a “bi gendered boychick” and them being older isn’t going to make me respect them any more.

Also these people love picking and choosing which “elder queer” views they accept because somehow they’re VERY against the word transsexual.

Feel free to share your thoughts especially if you’re from an older generation, just wanted to rant

I’m incredibly lucky to have very supportive parents who have looked out for me during all stages of my transition. We live in a red state with very strict control on HRT for minors(adults too, honestly), so i never really thought I would be able to get on testosterone no matter how much I wanted to.

Me and my parents had that conversation a while ago, and I came away disappointed, but it turns out they didn’t stop trying cause they’re actual fucking superheroes!! The plan is to go out of state to get a prescription in a more trans friendly state, then finding a place that will refill it where I live. I’ll have check ins with the provider frequently, and even better, this is legal so I don’t have to worry about being taken from my parents 🙃

I’m going to have a medical consultation to make sure I’m certain about this decision (which I very much am) and to learn about ALL of the effects, risks, etc. to make sure I’m prepared.

I’ve wanted so badly to take testosterone for years, especially since I’m in high school now and I’m not very convincing as a cis boy that hasn’t gone through puberty yet. Taking testosterone would help me feel so much more comfortable in my body. I‘ve accepted my identity, but of course that hasn’t eliminated my dysphoria entirely.

I just feel so elated and insanely lucky to have a chance like this. I always thought I would go through high school never passing, always uncomfortable in my own skin. I never thought it could actually change this soon.

For context I am a high school teacher (ages 11-16) at what is considered a “challenging” or “rough” school.

I’m 6’1 and slightly clocky voice.

I thought I was stealth but recently on the one day I didn’t wear makeup a child asked me if I was male or female I said “I’m a female and that’s and innapropriate question”. The other kids laughed and he didn’t say anything else

How do teenage children react to non passing trans women? Do you think that maybe the children all know I’m trans and are just being nice about it because I’m conventionally attractive? (I used to be a model that’s me giving context not trying to brag)

I’m never gendered incorrectly by other staff and by the children.

I’m a trans man, and I’ve been out to my parents for six years now. I am five months on testosterone.

My parents refuse to try and refer to me correctly. They have repeatedly said over the years that this is extremely hard on them, and that I need to allow them time to grieve their “dead daughter.” I try to be as understanding as I can, but they won’t think about how I feel. Sure, it’s hard to suddenly view your “daughter” as your son, but why continue gendering me incorrectly with zero hesitation, knowing that it causes me distress? Why put no effort towards reshaping how you see me? They physically cry and make it about themselves, and I cannot take it anymore.

I’m in the process of trying to change my legal name, and to give them some semblance of control (and maybe help them in their acceptance process), I want them to pick my name the same way they did when I was born. I have a preferred name that is used by my friends and my workplace, but I’ve always considered that a “placeholder,” if that makes sense. They say that the idea of that is far too painful and maybe after a few years they’ll be ready to discuss that. Maybe I’m being selfish here, but that’s extremely inconvenient for me. I don’t want to wait years to change my name legally. I don’t want to have to continue juggling two separate names because you guys can’t grow a pair and contact a therapist and get over it already. Is that selfish? Am I the problem here?

This is all over the place, and I apologize for that. My parents just had a long discussion with me about how much pain my transition is causing them, and I’m very upset.

Does anyone have a similar dynamic with their parents? I want to do something, anything that will push them in their acceptance journey, because I am getting impatient.

we agree that dysphoria varies from person to person at least, right?

for example i have more dysphoria about my body shape (face, torso, legs, height) than i do over my natal genitals, but that's not to say i dont wish i wasnt cis, nor that i dont have bottom dysphoria at all

^because my face and legs are a lot more visible to others than my genitals are, at least that was my logic for hrt consultation

asking cuz i saw someone get downvoted for saying that not everyone is dysphoric about the same things, which i thought is true to some extent 😓

(For the purpose of this post, I am defining "transsexual" as "trans" people with sex dysphoria, and "transgender" as those without.)

The mainstream trans movement has reached a point where the distinction between a medical condition and a social identity has been completely dissolved. Activists have successfully branded "transsexual" as an outdated term, many even considering it a slur, effectively giving us no other choice than to be grouped in with nondysphoric "trans" people.

The difference between a transsexual and a transgender person being in this community is the difference between someone saying, "I have a medical need to be in this space," and someone else saying, "I prefer the vibe over here."

"Trans" as a label has become meaningless. It no longer communicates anything specific about a person’s sex or their relationship to it. When someone says they are "trans," you have no idea if they actually are changing/have changed their sex, or if they just want to wear the label. By grouping transsexuals, transgender people, non-binary people, and "genderqueers" under the same umbrella, we have created a movement that lacks a uniform goal and erases the medical reality of transsexuality.

The truth is that transsexuals and transgender people do not share the same interests or needs. Transsexuals require the medical recognition of our condition, access to life-saving healthcare, and the ability to assimilate into society as our true sex. Transgender people, on the other hand, focus on liberation - they want to be seen, to be validated, and to dismantle the construct of gender. These two goals are fundamentally at odds; you cannot assimilate into a system while simultaneously trying to tear it down.

And the demand for unconditional validation of unfounded (and honestly, just ridiculous) claims has destroyed the community's credibility. It makes no sense to say someone's gender can change on a daily basis, but if you say gender fluidity isn't valid, you're labeled a transphobic bigot. It defies common sense to suggest that you don't need dysphoria to be trans, yet this is now the mainstream idea. When trans activism pushes boundaries of what most people find nonsensical, the legislative backlash is almost guaranteed - and indiscriminate.

The irony is that the resulting anti-trans laws - targeting bathroom access and medical care - do not affect all "trans" people equally. These laws hit transsexuals, whose lives depend on these services, the hardest. Meanwhile, those who only use the label socially can simply opt out of the danger when things get difficult. A transsexual woman has her entire existence on the line, while a nondysphoric AFAB "demi-girl" is at zero risk.

It is a shame that these two communities were ever forced under the same umbrella. I feel that if we developed separately, transsexuals would be more likely to be viewed as a protected class rather than a political caricature. By being forced under a social movement that prioritizes validation over medical reality, the mainstream movement has made a mockery of us.

TW: homophobia and transphobia and purposeful misgendering.

Can people fucking stop assuming that cisfem tomboys are "just trans men in denial" or that effeminate/short/delicate cis men are "just gay/trans in denial" like holy shit you are not helping anyone here, you are literally pushing gendered stereotypes onto people. I've noticed it's mostly done by tucutes as well which... I mean I'm just gonna say it's a lil ironic. But anyways.

There's this friend of mine, he's a cis guy, very much a man, he has no qualms with his gender (I should know, he's like my best friend and we tell each other everything), who I've known for almost a decade now. But because he's in touch with his emotions, 5'3, has softer features and has long hair, and gets along well with women in a platonic way, suddenly everyone's like "oh this guy can't possibly be straight" or "this is an egg I just know it"

Like I'm sorry but that's genuinely kinda fucking offensive. My friend has struggled a lot with his masculinity before because people have constantly looked down upon him for "not being manly enough", people have made fun of his height, appearance, called him names just because of who he was, you are not woke for calling him gay or an egg, you are basically doing the same thing as his bullies have done, just with a sparkly filter.

I'm a tomboy, generally we get less flack about being GNC because it's more socially acceptable for cis women to defy gender norms, but I have had people misgender me quite a few times (sometimes literally on purpose to spite me or try to "convince" me), and it's like actually stressful (it's why I'll never misgender anyone even if I may not understand their pronouns, because I know how distressing it can be). Like just because I have short hair, don't wear any makeup, and usually wear more "boyish" baggy clothes (because it's comfy asf) people think it's okay to just misgender me or to assume I'm a boy. Like... Ugh

I just... Why do these people do this. Please fucking stop.

For context, my cousin built a house on the same property where I live. It’s been under construction since I was a kid, but I just found out he’s getting married next year and plans to officially move in.

He is incredibly transphobic and has always tried to pressure and control me. The hypocrisy is what kills me: I once heard him screaming at his own mother, "I hate when you control me!", yet he spent months trying to convince my dad to stop me from starting HRT. He wants the freedom to live his life, but he wants to take mine away.

I’m scared my life is going to become a living hell once he’s here full-time. I’m already so tired of looking over my shoulder. I don’t know how to handle the constant pressure or the fact that he thinks he has a say in my transition.

Has anyone else dealt with a toxic family member moving into your immediate space? How do you protect your peace when you can't physically leave yet?

That's the post, im starting Hormones soon and I'm very afraid of being clockable because of it, I've learnt to recognize it very fast in other trans people and it's impossible to NOT hear it once you know... (I don't want to sound rude at all, just something I've noticed)

The person who spent our teens from 14 to 20 outing me to everyone they could (online or in person) no matter how much I begged. Is now identifying as non binary/trans and has changed their name to a type of bug. This infuriates me on both a superficial and spiritual level.

They have been identifying as non binary for a couple years now but I’ve never been able to shake my discomfort, despite not speaking to them half of that time. On one hand I see their borderline obsession with trans people when they were a teen as being at least somewhat based in genuine curiosity and introspection. However, I feel very strongly, for them it is all just a personality trait, nickname, vibe etc.

We have known each other since we were little kids and they have been in and out of my life since then.

So, this has been a huge mind f\*ck for me. I have been transitioning for 7 years, still on hormones. I pass and live my life stealth. Everyone I meet sees me and knows me as a guy, EXCEPT when I’m in an exclusively black space or area.

The most recent example: I went for a walk in my neighborhood when two black dudes at a stop light, had their windows rolled down. When I crossed the street, they both took turns saying stuff out the window:

Guy 1: “that boy looks sweet”

Guy 2: “nah he looks like a lesbian”

When I lived in Chicago, it was even worse. Every time I walked by groups of black people, they would laugh in my face, whisper amongst themselves, or just stare at me. One time at a hotel job, this drunk stopped in his tracks, looked me dead in my face and says: Are you a boy or a girl? Again, another black man.

Literally nobody else clocks me, but my own people. Why/how could this be?

To begin, I’m so grateful this sub exists. But despite all of that, I need more than just writing texts and responding to comments on the Internet. That’s where the problem starts to show itself.

For context, I’ve been stealth since 2023 when I started testosterone. Even if I am a straight transsexual man, I’ve always felt the need to talk to other people like me, because cis men/women have no possibility to understand my day-to-day issues and underlying ones. I find this need natural and normal - we often desire this type of connection. I don’t want to discriminate anyone, trust me I really do not - I just want to express the fact that I lost my sense of belonging because of the things in the next paragraph.

Every trans man I’ve talked to is either gay and really feminine or didn’t transition medically and I couldn’t relate to them at all. Obviously, I gave them the best advice I possibly could, but I didn’t fulfill MY needs. To be honest, I only found people that I truly aligned with, in this subreddit, and that saddens me. Based on my experiences and because of my constant rising fear of being “discovered”, I refuse to talk with other trans men - subconsciously, I think I’m ashamed of being trans because of tucutes.

I’ve always been really masculine, and have always aligned with cis men, because surprise! - I am one. And I think this is becoming more and more unusual in this “community” and I genuinely do not know what to do.

If you are similar to me, how did you cope with the fact that you didn’t find any trans men you could relate to?

I'm (19) a trans girl myself, and have been on HRT as soon as I turned 18. I moved away from home to attend college in a more progressive town, which I genuinely enjoy living in! I've made plenty of cis and trans friends most of whom are cool, but I really need to vent about this because it made me really uncomfortable.

A few months ago me and my friends were going to grab food after studying, one of my friends who is also a trans woman tagged along, (this was before I switched to injections), I took my 2nd oral estrogen pill of the day, and they asked me if my breasts have grown a lot recently and while a little weird, I told them sorta why? Did you start too, and then they said no because they don't want to stop having erections??? And went on to say they wished to still 'grow big boobs'?

They also make no effort to present feminine in any way, unshaven body, tons of facial hair, very deep voice. It just seems crazy to me you want to transition yet make no effort to transition over something as simple as losing your libido?

I feel that this is genuinely just a fetish to some people... I transitioned as soon as I could and this guy just goes out in shorts, hairy ass legs and arms and goes by Chloe? No wonder a lot of people genuinely believe all trans women are just hairy men trying to get into the women's bathroom

So its my own fault. I went to a community "transfemme picnic". In my defense there is a broad spectrum of people who attend ranging from the purple haired puppygirl tucutes to fully passable post op transmedicalists.

i was sitting on this bench eaves dropping on a conversation when i heard a bearded guy with neat pronouns announce "how freeing it is to not care if i havent shaved in 3 days; i can go into the girls bathroom; i belong there if i say i belong there"!

He then went on to rant about looking at "thirst traps" online and how when he sees a sexy girl hes not sure if he wants to be her or fuck her!!!

i almost swallowed my tongue! like dude of course some cis people are uncomfortable with the idea of trans women using the the ladies room. i would be super uncomfortable if this guy walked in on me in there.

Why are people like this??? Sadly if i had stood up for us I would have been the one shamed into leaving.

I was diagnosed with transsexuality at 13, I had regular check ups, around every second to third month to ensure that this diagnosis was true and transitioning was necessary. Shortly before I turned 16, I was told that I'm going to be allowed to start testosterone, but before that happened I was admitted to the psychward, the same one I went to for my dysphoria.

I was doing horribly mentally, not just because of the dysphoria but it was the biggest reason for my mental distress. I told them that I'm still dysphoric, that getting on HRT would definitly help me immensely even if I'd still need therapy for my other issues and that my dysphoria is genuinly the biggest reason for my suicidal ideation. But they took the last part as "proof" that I wasn't mentally stable enough to get on HRT. I didn't get any more check up's with the doctor for transsexuality, as I was told HRT won't even be considered for me until I'm mentally stable.

And I understand not wanting to give HRT to a mentally unstable teenager, but I was diagnosed since 13, my dysphoria was constant throughout my entire life and at every previous check up there was no reason to doubt my diagnosis, the doctor himself said so. Especially as they cancelled my prescription, because of reasons that had nothing to do with my dysphoria I was devasted.

So I needed to try to get mentally stable, which was extremely hard, and after 3 horrible years being denied testosterone for reasons unrelated to transsexuality, I just lied to them. I lost my therapy, since I said I didn't need it anymore, but therefore was finally prescribed testosterone. I didn't get help for any other of my issues, since I had lied about my mental health and was scared to lose access to HRT if I told the thruth, as expected that resulted in my unrelated mental health issues becoming a little bit worse. But my dysphoria got so much better, now I'm over a year on testosterone, had top surgery and hysterectomy, and am going to get stage 1 phalloplasty in two months. So overall I'm mentally a lot better now.

I usually don't support lying to professionals in order to get what you want, and this definitly wasn't the perfect solution, but in that case I genuinly didn't understand their thought process and they wouldn't give me any actual reasoning why me being mentally ill would cancel out the 3 years of documented dysphoria and diagnosis.

But here comes the plot-twist Theres a tucute that I know, she claims to be ftm, but has presented as female every single time I saw her, long hair, wears skirts and make-up, pre-T. She openly talks about having sex using her vagina A LOT, it's disgusting also because she is 15, but she talks about having sex with boys using her natal genitalia so much that that alone shows me she's definitly not trans in any way, said she didn't like one of my friends because she doesn't like "cis straight men". She only hung out with me because she knows I am transsexual, ever since she found out that I am actually just a guy and not a "transboii" she hates me.

She's 15, and she was apparently recently prescribed testosterone by THAT SAME gender clinic. I really hope she just lied to ragebait me, especially since her "transition goals" are all just south east asian men who fit the beauty standart, like k-pop idols (she's not south east asian) or femboy anime characters.

I didn't know what to tag this as, but

So lately I was scrolling on my phone and saw a few posts, the creator of which was ftm, and said that if they were born male they would still be trans and transition to be a woman.

what do you guys think about this? I don't understand this at all, it makes no sense whatsoever.

I genuinely have a disgusting jealousy towards Americans, even though I know you guys have more legal issues than us Brits.

Like, I saw someone on Twitter (ik, lol) say that they had such massive long waitlists and the earliest appointment to get hormone treatment is November... Ive been on the waitlist for 7 years and literally wont be seen for another 10 years at the current wait.

Ive seen people talking about their insurance and how long it takes, but people seem to only be waiting a year or two for that to be sorted... but it takes us years of appointments just to get referrals before being on years long waitlists for a surgical appointment before waiting for surgery.

Ive seen people saying that they have to spend out loads on surgery. But then they quote amounts like 3000 dollars for bottom surgery because their insurance covers the rest.

Ive just spent out 10k on top/hysto AND had to pay to go abroad AND buy travel insurance, etc, etc. If I had it in the UK, it would be 10-15k for top alone, then its impossible to get a hysto.

If I got bottom surgery, it would be easily 50-100k to grt it abroad or 100-200k to get it in the UK. And no complications are covered in that amount, so it can easily double, triple or more if anything goes wrong.

People say their hormones are super expensive then quote like 50 dollars a month. Im literally spending that amount on mine, but Im also paying out of pocket for endo appointments and blood tests and if anything goes wrong Id have to pay out of pocket for any more endo medications because my GP would refuse to cover it because its not his work.

Ive seen people complaining that they werent allowed to start puberty blockers for a few months/years.

Ive been out to doctors and therapists and everything since I was 11. Im 22 now and I still havent been seen by a gender clinic to get any treatment on the NHS even though Ive been diagnosed with gender dysphoria once as a kid (maybe around 13/14), and I was rediagnosed at the beginning of last year. I was literally out before I started meaningful puberty changes and I couldn't fucking do anything.

Im just so fuckijg jealous about everything.

I keep seeing people fully transition in the USA within 5-10 years, but Ive literally been sat here after being out for over 10 years and Ive only been able to start TRT 9 months ago and I was only able to get top/hysto 11 days ago because I had been saving up every little drop of money Ive had for the past decade.

I have no issues with it except I cant open most doors (except really light ones which have really easy handles) and I can barely carry things above a kilo or so.

I had an hour drive yesterday and it was actually much nicer than I expected. a little pain on my lower left pelvis, but nothing severe or enough to flinch.

I dont really have many feelings about it tbh. I just feel normal at the moment. I suppose it'll kick in when I get these bum-ass bandages off (theyre so tight!) and actually see my chest.

I feel like Im gonna 100% be upset about the scars though. I really dont want to have scars, but its the only option 🤣🤣 Definitely gonna go and get tattoos once Im able to !!

So, so happy about never needing to wear a real binder anymore though.. other than the compression one for a couple months.

I've been concerned with the rise of Xenogenders in the trans community and with how Far-Left the trans community has gotten. As a trans woman, I oppose Xenogenders because many of these people are functionally Cisgender while appropriating the trans struggle. They play into negative stereotypes about trans people as well. You know the whole "attack helicopter" meme? Well, Xenogenders are the type of people who identify as attack helicopters unironically. Not only that, but Xenogenders also infantilize trans people, making us look like babies who associate things that we like with our gender identity. My views don't align with the mainstream trans community as I view Xenogenders as going too far. My question for you guys is why are so many people in the trans community accepting of something that is clearly offensive and an appropriation of our struggles?

I saw a comment that said "no matter how badly I wish I was born male, I am forever grateful I was raised as a girl. It has made me the man I am today". It was going triple platinum on Instagram.

Is this a common sentiment for trans men? Do you feel happy with your upbringing? Would you rather be born male?
