The last person to come out to. Should I?
LusciousTheLock replied to LusciousTheLock's topic in Coming Out
Its been an interesting day. People I've avoided for a few years have been phoning me up. One of my cousins was on the phone for three hours. It makes me wonder if I've just been punishing myself for the last four years? I've been inviting old friends back with a short messenger messages explaining who I am. Take-up is really good. Even one of my neighbours along the street has accepted a friend request and we've never said much more than "Morning, or Hi" Turns out she's a counsellor and fascinated by my situation. A long lost sister has been in touch and wants to meet the new me... She never -
I am going to also say what others have said but elaborate a little. Linda, You always most certainly dress the part and the best thing about it, you dress to your strengths. You have got to grips with looking what other women of your age wear (No disresepct intended. We are all getting older) and use that to fill your everyday with a certain class that only a woman of your standing could.

Coaches, Athletes & Allies Press NCAA to Boycott Anti-Trans Youth States

https://www.si.com/college/2021/04/09/leaders-on-ncaa-remove-competition-states-anti-trans-athlete IMO, those on the right supporting this legislation want this kind of reaction. They want the boycotts, b/c they want the war with the LGBTQ community. It stokes the base, drives the funding appeals. It's a quandary. Carolyn Marie -

Non-binary who hopes to seek others who have had a mastectomy. Anyone else struggle with this?
Willow Farmer replied to Alex_V's topic in Introductions Forum
Welcome to Transpulse, Alex! I am fairly new here and I just wanted to let you know that there are fantastic people here. I'm sure you will be talking with others who have the same struggles as you soon. I fully sympathize with you and respect your issues. I just happen to have the exact opposite problems and needs. You can still talk with me any time about any facet of gender issues. I am far more Non-Binary, just from a female spirit. much love, ---WILLOW--- -
@Susan R according to the item description it is supposed to be a water proof bond. I just tried going without the bra today and after about 7 hrs they were still 90% attached. The forms I got were originally adhesive but not very good, basically just enough to stay in place with a bra. I did t try anything crazy (yet) just wanted to see if they really would stay on without a bra. I will let you how they hold up during workouts and such as I try them. Forms are the Y-NOT silicone breast forms in Nude-C from Amazon Adhesive kit is here https://www.glamourboutique.com/b

Hello all, Name is Alex and for about 15 years now I have struggled with my body dysmorphia- specifically referring to my breasts. I identify as nonbinary and don't prefer any pronouns. My legal name is Alex and that's what I prefer people to call me. I'm 6 ft (born female) and have size DD? (i dont know because I only wear sports bras...never been properly fitted for a bra but trust me, they're hard to miss) and again, for about 15 years have always worn double sports bras, taped them down, smush them across my chest so it looks like theres just pec muscles. I am a very outgoing

It's really interesting, our stories are similar. I am 20 years older than you, but when I was your age is when it really hit me as well. A lot of things just kind of came together at that age for me and I realized I wanted to be like a girl, even tho I didn't really think of it in those terms. I was doing things like shaving my body hair, finding an excuse to use a women's razor even to shave my face, etc. Before that age I had still hated my facial and body hair, my voice, how I looked, but I just didn't make the connection. I don't think I thought of it as a phase, more like something I was

Greetings @leongreen and welcome. It is not unusual to have feelings of doubt. Particularly when you have made a change as you have. As you are younger than I, it could be a phase but only you can say if this is so. Remember you have time to mull this over before you decide to take further steps. Take time to get comfortable with the "new" persona you are occupying. Eventually you will determine if it fits or needs adjustment, just like a new shirt! Also consider that you can evolve and still maintain certain attributes of your prior life that you find enjoyable or desirable to

I had just about every breast form made in every material and size way back in the 80’s but I never splurged and bought a pair of those adhesive breast forms. I always wanted to try them but back then there was no internet to get reviews or ask anyone about them. Let us know how you like them. Are you able to jog, run, or go down a stairs and feel them move like the real thing? That’s what I was curious about so many years ago when I first heard they existed. Susan R

Welcome @leongreen, It’s a pleasure to meet you. It’s good to reach out with questions...especially gender related questions here. I personally can’t say I had this experience with sudden onset questioning of my gender. It’s something I always knew and had to deal with from the get go but I am sure there are others here who have had this happen to them. We all have such unique backgrounds and stories which make it nice to compare notes. I wonder if there was a recent trauma or trigger that brought this to the forefront. In my case, I was suppressing my GD the best I knew how but a few major tr

More updates I've been trying to see if I can get an earlier appointment with my endo but so far no luck, can't really go on the waiting list for cancellations because of my work schedule. Got a gel nail kit ordered, supposed to be here sometime tomorrow. Also got a new adhesive kit for my breast forms, so far it works great and I can go braless if I want to. Spent the last couple of days playing "how in the heck does this go together?!" with a couple of exercise machines. But I got them together with only 5 spare parts (jk)

I am a 17 years old afab (assigned female at birth) and I had never experienced physical dysphoria up until a few months ago. Suddenly, of what felt like over a night, my body looked wrong, my voice sounded wrong, my long hair that I had insisted on growing out didn't fit me anymore. The thing is that I was a very masculine kid and I was very non-conforming in the sense that I enjoyed doing and wearing whatever I wanted, regardless if it fit the expectations of my assigned gender or not. Recently I've been looking into every detail of my childhood to try to find something that cou

How do I tell transphobic family members? or if not, what do I do?
Lexi C replied to Kakileli's topic in Coming Out
Hey Kakileli I am a bit confused. Are your parents the issues? Do you or do you not live with them. If they are supportive then your are WAYYYYYY ahead of the game. Your only 13 that's plus. Your sis should matter if she not living with you, just keep your distant However, if your parents and sis are not supportive and your living with them. Then I am afraid Jackie is right and you should hev her advice until you can get out. She right it will be a rough , tough ,awful journey. As some you can try to get a pt job , save , research about support groups around -

Not impossible, but it takes a LOT of work to build man-legs without T. For example, I can press 11 plates (that's 990 pounds plus another 110 for the carriage) and my legs still look girly. It'll take a lot of calf and leg work to thicken them up without T. Hugs!

How do I tell transphobic family members? or if not, what do I do?
AwesomeClaire replied to Kakileli's topic in Coming Out
Well, she probably won't be supportive then or use your name/pronouns, unfortunately. That's a tough one. You have to think about the possibility/eventuality tho that she will find out. How would you want her to find out? -
Ok, have you tried strength training? For example, exercising regularly and including weightlifting, to reduce body fat and increase muscle mass?

Shame and fear of how others would react and not wanting to disappoint my parents. Growing up from the time I started kindergarten to when I graduated I was always subject to violence and bullying. My parents knew of the bullying as well as the teachers and principles. My mother just kept telling me that if I didn't just act the way I did the other kids would leave me be. My father took a different stance, he thought I should learn to stand up for myself so his approach was either you fight back or I will beat you myself. It took me a very long time for me to change my believes about myse

A long lost sister has been in touch and wants to meet the new me... She never met the old me, but never mind I'm not really a fan of Facebook, but as a tool for contacting old friends and broadcasting "News" there is nothing else. Again, I appear to have enough support to cover anything one miserable old relative has to say. Even if he is the head of the family. -
