I'm still seeing a therapist, and if she doesn't prescribe it to me by the end of February or beginning of March, I'm thinking I will start DIY or something similar. I'd rather go through official route if I can.

Well at first I never really thought I was, I like all manners of masculine things like shooter games, sports, fixing cars, getting dirty. Things that are largely considered manly. However I did like to hang out with girls more often, like I felt more comfortable around them. I never really questioned that much it felt normal. But I met someone a few months back who was very much like me, we shared a lot of interests and even had a similar style and when I learned she's transfem it made me seriously start questioning. So I decided to have a little experiment and I asked her to call me by she/her pronouns to see how it felt, and I loved it. It felt so right, so true. A bit later I started to realize that I felt incomplete, my flat and empty chest made me feel discomfort and sadness.
That's how I knew without a doubt that I was transfem, and every piece of trans literature I read including Gender Dysphoria Bible just cemented that in further.
Speaking from experience as a trans woman myself, the best advice I can give is follow your heart and do what makes you happy. I'd recommend finding some local trans communities where you live, and also getting a gender affirming therapist to talk to, these things have been helpful to me.
I'm not a fan of this meme, it seems too much to imply that a person who doesn't take HRT or hasn't taken HRT is still cis because of it, transmedicalism is not cool.
Understandable, I meant it as a way to stand up for trans people who are non-op or pre-op (can't afford surgery or can't get it at all) and being discriminated against based on their genitals.
Also my comment was directed towards a transphobic shithead who was spouting transphobia apologia saying that we shouldn't fight back against transphobes because "they're people too".
Transfem tomboy power ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐ช
It's kind of a joke post but also kind of not, since I aspire to be a very butch, very Masc tomboy transfem. I'm not concerned if I pass enough for people's tastes, I just want to be happy and be myself, my true self.
Good suggestion, I'll probably get proper breast pads or inserts though. I've got the money for it.
been refining that for about a year now to reasonable success till i start hrt
What? You've been waiting more than a year for HRT ๐๐ญ?!? I don't want to wait a whole year to do it, especially since it might get harder to do it in the future.
Uh yeah, British transphobes ๐
That's good to know. I guess I can still eat like that but just work out more so I stay in shape and don't lose too much muscle. Also glad to hear that muscle loss isn't immediate or complete, still not thrilled about losing any. I know that for some trans girls it's something they hate and want gone but personally I want to be a very big and muscular girl since I'm going for the butch tomboy look, and also it's nice to be strong.
I guess it's good that I don't have biochemical dysphoria, at least not that I know of, my dysphoria comes mainly from my lack of breasts.
I think a padded bra or inserts would probably help me. I don't think eating more food to get fat will help me much when I'm on Estrogen cuz I work out a lot now, and I'll be doing it more then so I don't lose muscle mass as much, that's one thing I don't really want to happen when I'm on E.
Good to know. I guess I won't be doing anymore weed when I finally get on E ๐ข
