The Way You Think About Your Body.

Hey all,

I know I'm not even a "confirmed" TS yet, but thinking about being a woman has changed the way I think about my body.

Before this realization occurred, I cared little for how I looked as a male and wasn't ever really "impressed" with how I looked. I mean I thought I looked alright, but if I looked kinda terrible, I didn't really care.

Now that I'm thinking this body may be (more) womanly someday, I have the willpower to workout and I want to look good! I want to be pretty/cute/beautiful just like every girl does.

Has anyone else had this same experience??

I went through the same thing. In fact my change occurred just a few months ago. I didn't care about how I looked though I was picky on the clothing I wore. I avoided anything too guyish. Now I pay extra atention to how I look, trying to reverse the damage already done. Evil acne!!! :angry:

I think thats actually kind of normal for peeps who are transgendered (I could be wrong and if someone has a different experience please feel free to voice it). I have at two different times in life "tried" to look/exist as the birth gender and in each of them the level of depression I hit included really not caring about how I looked. I actually "hated" doing anything positive to the form. I hated the foundation, couldn't bear a mirror, was humiliated and ashamed in the way any cisgender man would seeing himself with women's parts, so why would I want to interact with it? (Cleansing my mind now of even the spectacle....)

As male though (clothing, manner, personal affects) I love what I see and how it causes me to feel to the point I'm happy to do things for the body; work out, be meticulous about my grooming, want to be nicely dressed squint and scrutinize the haircut from the barber, everything.

Hi,

for me it is same like Evan_J told. First of all, all the girls around says I look good. But I think not. When I look to my body there are some points or parts I do not like the shape. I think my legs are to thin my butt is to small, my waistline is to fat, my chest is to big and my breast is to flat. I allways thought that this is cuased by having not enough muscles. I have to look like a atlethic man. Bu than one day I realize that if you take all together you get a female body.

I do sport and I also need to do some body building because I have bad muscles in may back. But I do not liked the idea to get a turkey still breast.

Know I make a diet to reduce body fat to remove the fat belly belt to get a better female shape. I also wear a corset sometimes and think to get one with can form the ribcage to get the v-shape of a female body. For thicker legs and butt I think only hormons can help.

When I start acctepting that I may be a girl, I can see a female face in the mirror when I smile but it still look the same.

I also do not like to shave my facial hair every two days. I think to make a permanent hair removal. It is okay because I never want to wear a beard. It is good to be accepted as a man without facial hair. Know it is still going more and more and after shaving it leave the blue taint I do not like.

I got the light bulb moment that I want to be /am a girl when I add all my body blemish.

Greetings

Nelly

Yes. My wife says that once I started hormones, I became much more fussy and much more modest about my body. I rarely pass a mirror without adjust my hair and I always make sure my shirt is buttoned so not to show cleveage.

      I am gender fluid, leaning heavily towards trans masc. My eldest is male and despite all the "stuff" we deal with with him (autism, speech delay, etc) I found him to be easy to raise. When my middle kid (female) was born, literally the first words out of my mouth were "I don't know how to raise a girl!" And I really felt I didn't know. She showed me. She's still showing me how to exist as comfortable and completely secure in her gender expression. It is entirely awe inspiring to see all three of them feel so settled in their bodies in ways that I never, ever felt or feel to this day.

      That sounded like an awesome opportunity to dress as your actual self. I have to say I'm a little jealous lol. I never got compliments from people and definitely haven't been kissed. I can imagine that part was still really nice and boosted your confidence.

      I've been absent so much lately I feel as if I'll never catch up. Too much going on in our lives that's kept me away from the keyboard. and limited my time as "me."   I am so looking forward to your post on how you arrange your life. I know that I won't ever be able to fully transition so finding some happy balance is crucial for me.

      Mae, you are so sweet for making this comment.   Desert Fox, you are so right.  I always knew that even though I was part-time, my motivation was way more complicated than a simple desire to wear women's clothes.   Your question is a timely one because in my next post, I am going to talk about how compartmentalized my life is, and the short answer is yes.  I have friends who only know Sally, friends who only my male persona, and a rare few that know both.

      @EasyE With my background in Behavioral Sciences I do go to actual conferences for the medical and psychological professionals that deal with Trans Youth, and in those conferences, the ethics of "too fast" versus "too slow and restrictive" are a heavy concern.  There is very thoughtful sharing among the participants for making professional judgments that the therapist is comfortable with without being afraid of what is "too soon" or "not soon enough" to advance to medical prescription therapies. The ethics of what constitute reasonable caution or unreasonable delay are deeply at play in those situations, with the idea to prevent harm while alleviating the patient's stress and other issues.  This type of conference fulfills Continuing Education license requirements that most states and other areas have.  From them the therapist may seem to "speed up" their evaluation process, but it is based on the accumulated experience of colleagues, just as is true in other professions and yes, even trades.

      That's wonderful news!! I took our pup in for her Vet check today - perfect. She slept 7 hours last evening and is coming along really well with her house breaking and crate training.   I know you'll have some excitement with a new Boxer!!

      Surgeries are drastic, and indeed should be a last resort for minors.  As indeed they are.  It is very rare for anyone under 18 to get gender-affirming surgery.  It is typically only done if the person would be suicidal without it.   Puberty blockers are a way to avoid the "drastic measure" of forcing the person to undergo the wrong puberty.  They should not be prescribed lightly, and I don't think they are.  They are a way to go slow until the person can truly make an informed decision.

      My Endo keeps track of several trace chemicals in my blood system that can be affected by our slightly different hormone balance, keeping in mind we have had both hormones all our life, just in different balance.  I did have to change one diuretic I was taking that was crashing out one chemical that does affect energy levels, and it turned out that Spiro was the alternative to that one for the way it works there.  I was never on Spiro for the hormone issues per se.  Let your doctor know about the fatigue sometime today or whenever you read this.

      Hmmm .  .  . if I only had a ten-word description that completely described my identity. That would be great, but one doesn't exist. "I'm a girl—and a boy. And neither—and both?" There. Now you know, right? Maybe not. —Davie

      I think you should discuss it with your doctor.  I know you are 'asking around' but experience probably varies.

      This one is behind a pretty heavy pay-wall, for me $50 US/per year.
