How do I cope with the idea I'm unattractive and that's unlikely to change CW NEGETIVE POST

spoilerIve kinda considered quiet quitting mg transition, I feel like few take it serrious, and my friends that do it feels like they are just being nice to me cause they feel bad that my dreams just are not possible. At this point ive kinds reached the idea that I’ll just boymode forever and hope they silently change my ID...

I was overweight when I started hrt too. Your fat can still redistribute. The fat you have isn’t going to move on its own and that’s the case for everyone. In order to get fat to move you need to lose it and then gain it again. I started dieting and exercising after I got on HRT and I lost a lot of weight from my waist and that’s already made me feel more feminine.

Yeah. My understanding as well is that weight fluctuates throughout the day which slowly causes weight redistribution. I neglected to mention it just because it is a very slow process and I find exercising to be a better way to get weight redistribution instead of just waiting.

Yeah I can definitely relate to that. I was extremely depressed in my teens and I did not really care about my body until I got HRT. Fortunately, I accepted myself a lot sooner, but I think it’s cause the thought that I am woman pushed through all the sludge in my brain and once it got to the front it wouldn’t stop screaming at me. I do wish I realized a lot earlier, when I was just a little kid. I had lots of signs and I also felt very lost until I realized why. Even though I like my life now, I feel like it would be a lot better if I had lived as my true self a lot sooner.

I’ve tried discord but haven’t had any luck yet.

Yeah I don’t have as much time as I used to either. I gotta write a paper today after I get home from work, but if you have a discord, I’ll join and we can talk sometime later if that’s fine.

Want to play Minecraft sometime?

Lumelore,
@Lumelore@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I was shy for a long time, so I understand how it is. If you ever feel like playing Minecraft with someone just let me know but if you don’t that’s okay too.

I don’t live in the UK but I have general advice. You can find videos on YouTube for voice feminization or you can buy lessons online. Also if you want sperm banking try to get that before your HRT appointment or else you will have to wait a bit longer before you can start. I skipped out on sperm banking so that’s all I really know about it, but I recommend looking into it now if you want to start HRT sooner than later.

Unless you lose that fat. I was overweight when I started hrt and then as I lost weight the majority of it first disappeared from my midsection. I feel like it resulted in me getting a feminine figure pretty quickly.( I did lose the weight quickly like 50+ pounds in a few months but I think that was from me stopping a drug that can cause weight gain.)

Hormones do affect where your body puts weight. I don’t think eating is a good way to make them grow. It’s better to do glute exercises and how much your breasts grow is dependent on genetics. I’ve still had pretty good breast growth despite the fact that I am losing weight so I don’t thinking gaining weight is needed for breast growth.

Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID?

Someone asked a question about how frequently young people have time to socialize and it made me think about what people do with their evenings. I recently asked my son to go to a concert (free ticket to see a band i know he likes) and he declined because it was an hour away on a weeknight. If we invite our kids or niece/nephew...

I am a young person and I only leave the house to go to work, but I am currently looking for a wfh job. There’s nothing really interesting outside and the weather is rarely nice. If there were less roads and stores and more parks or places you could just exist in then I probably would go outside more, but that would be during the day and not at night. Usually during the evening I just lay around and relax. I am so tired and stressed from the day that I never feel like doing anything when I get home.

Anyone out there confident in their personhood?

Just a relatively new chick here, wondering how it goes? I i have lot of internal conflict personally. I’m also stressing about the shit going on in parts of the US right now. Partially for myself, a lot for my (amab) son, whom I am questioning on gender/Sexuality. He’s young(elementary) but has some signs that make me(newly...

If possible move to a state with protections. For me I had a lot of conflict myself until I started hormones and it reduced, but didn’t go away. Then I found supportive people who fully accept me as a woman and then pretty much all the conflict disappeared.

You don’t have to leave now but you could be on the lookout for good jobs in safe states. You can always meet new people and you can still communicate with your other friends online. There may be a point where it gets real bad and you will have no choice but to leave, so for now I’d recommend eyeballing new places to live and jobs.

At my first appointment my doctor said they look into doing prog at the one year mark.

I’ve been on hrt for 1.5 months and for me the changes have been pretty quick so far so they may not be in your head.

I went to a wedding wearing a dress for the first time and all my cousins told me that I was very pretty and I even used the women’s bathroom a few times and I did not have any issues. So it was a pretty great weekend.

Is it normal for breast pain to come and go?

This is my 5th week on hrt (2mg estradiol, 100mg Spiro) and I first noticed breast growth and pain right at the end of the 1st week. Then for the next two weeks my breasts were pretty painful and even leaked sometimes. Now last week they suddenly stopped hurting completely for the entire week, however today they are a tiny bit...

I got them from an internal medicine doctor who also does gender services on Tuesdays. They didn’t test my estrogen and testosterone at my first appointment but they did do other tests. I am getting my blood drawn again in two weeks and they are going to test estrogen and testosterone then.
