Am I Transgender?


DestinyPanda

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, I am new here but wanna ask this question that's been on my mind alot lately and do want to know an answer.

 

So I've been wondering lately if i am transgender being that I remember at an early age (before 10) I wished I would wakeup the next day and become a girl. Since the news on Caitlyn a few years ago I have always had the thoughts popup every so often as like "Am I trans?" It might be defined as a fleeting thought cause I usually do deny the question saying "I'm a guy.." But the question always have came back either weeks or months or maybe even a year or two later. It's just annoying when it comes cause I do wanna know really. 

I've been thinking about it more since a friend told me to explore why I have had the questions and have had memories of my past popup like again the thoughts of early age wanting something else, the thoughts of wishing I was a girl in high school, and the fact I usually only play as a girl in games due to them looking better than the guy option and just feels right to me.

I can say that when it comes to my body that I would like changes like I have always been grossed out but not to uncomfortable with my body hair i just feel like it looks gross to the point it makes me look dirty and I prefer being smooth which makes me wish I never had the body hair in the first place. I have big muscular arms and muscular looking legs but don't feel really offended by them like not uncomfortable to much but do wish they weren't so big? I wish my arms and legs were more feminine and because of this I never wear short pants ever.

As soon as I became a teen years ago I remember I stopped being comfortable with wearing shorts or even wanting to take my shirt off unless behind a closed door.. Just feels wrong to do that otherwise even if its in front of a parent or sibling.

Not to mention that I feel awkward about how a certain body part functions at random.. It just feels gross.. Wrong.. and have wanted it to just stop.. or disappear..

I have a deep voice of course but I don't mind it, But at the same time.. If I do record my voice and play it back I just feel like it makes me sound sick.. I wouldn't mind having a higher more girly voice..

I've been treated by family and friends like I'm not supposed to be sensitive or emotional or even the fact I can't really lift..  I just feel like I am supposed to be an emotional person and be very sensitive as well as the type that shouldn't be doing the heavy lifting ever.. Its okay but does make me feel bad when I can't do it..

 

Does this sound very cisgender to you guys or am I more likely Transgender?

 

I can say I would press the magic button to become a woman if it existed without any doubts in my mind about this. I have as well read about the affects that HRT Estrogen does to the body and I kinda want those.. 

 

I have told friends as well to call me 'girl' and 'she/her' to see if my feelings mean anything but I think i am overthinking it or just not used to it because when it happens I don't feel like they are talking about me or wanting to get my attention. It does leave a off feeling in my stomach when it happens but I have been called 'like a sister' and 'princess' by some and that made me burst out with a smile..

 

I have been worried to that this might be part of my Autism and might just be an obsession of mine (part of OCD) happening as well.. but these thoughts doesn't bug me to much. Only want to know if i am trans or not because.. I mean if i am a transgender woman or even a non-binary person who falls like not entirely male or female I can live with myself.. Other than that I can't tell you what it means to be a man really.. I feel comfortable with it most of the time.. But like other than certain 'characteristics' no I can't tell you what it means to be a man to me.. If i had to rate my feeling I could say not 100% male at all.. Has to be more closer to 60% or so.

One of our maxims here on the Forums is that IF you have any questions at all about your gender, you are NOT Cis Gender, and thus Trans Gender.  What we can't say is exactly what you are under the Trans Spectrum, that is a journey for you and a therapist to go on and discover.  Where are you going to take your Trans self to be comfortable and authentic is the real question.  It can be as little as the decision to be less like your birth gender's expectations of behavior, profession, trade and possibly your family care role.  These are mostly a matter of attitude.  They can go to complete Transition on the other end.  Give yourself permission to act as you feel without shame and you are on your way.  Stick around, read what is here, find a Gender Therapist, don't overthink life or try to be what is uncomfortable and BE YOU.

Can't really tell you how your feel just from reading one post, but will say a few things from my experience that echo what you wrote.

 

It took me a very very very long time to realize that if I was cis I wouldn't go to sleep every night hoping to magically wake up a different gender the next day. I too 'didn't mind' being a man, I thought, right up until I did.

I absolutely would have pushed that button, and when I finally read about the HRT effects it was yet another big step towards cracking the egg. I was all, 'yes, yes', 'yay', 'wow', 'cool', 'yup' going down the list. Nothing on the list sounded like a negative, except the possible higher tendency for blood clots.

Well for me I didn't do that every night, but did happen off and on a bunch and still kinda does from time to time nowadays as well.

If I could wake up as a girl I would be over the moon with joy to the point nothing on this earth could take that happiness and drag me down.

Hi, @DestinyPanda, nice to meet you.

 

We can't say for sure that you are transgender, but the questioning you describe certainly gives you good reason to investigate further.  As @VickySGVsays, cisgender people don't go around asking themselves those questions.  A lot of what you describe is very familiar to many of us.

 

I would recommend finding a good gender therapist and discussing your feelings and questions with them.

Hello DestinyPanda I am new here too,

 

Please take everything I write here with a grain of salt since I am really new her, but I still try tohelp you with telling my own experiences and thoughts.

 

All I know is that I have and had the dreams of waking up as a woman and sometimes I even had dreams of sexual intercourse in a heterosexual way, but I was not the man I was the woman.

I woke up and it was not like a horror dream where you would think phew thank god it is over,

no I really regretted waking up. It was like the reality was stolen from me.

So I can not answer for you if you are transgender but I think no cis person would questioning him or herself after the puperty that much like you or I did. I will have my date with a therapist soon and I think you should do that too.
In the past I was not totally honest to my therapists and doctors out of denial fear or anxiety, but this time I am going to open up finally, that is my goal.

 

 

I wish you all the best on finding your true self.

As others have said therapy, therapy and therapy. We don't have a complete understanding of how things work. We can only talk about our personal experiences. It maybe that you have split personality not saying you do but there are far more things that play into it. I don't wish transgender on anyone or even any illness. I know that I am transgendered without a doubt. I was a real soft kid and my Dad didn't like it.

 

I had to create a front. I picked and choose things that most people liked so they couldn't tell what was really going. At the time Dallas Cowboys were dominating and I saw a lot of classmates with those jersey's on so I said I was one too. Michael Jordan was really good at basketball and I saw people wear jerseys so I adapted. I never picked what I wanted only what the majority of what the classmates picked.

 

I wore my sisters and moms clothes as much as I could get away with because with those few minutes I felt ME. As time went by the girl in me was a shadow. I played the role as "Scott" and believed it. I joined the military and don't ask don't was their policy. I couldn't come out. I was in the dorms so I couldn't buy women's clothing. I waited till my next base and was off base bought clothes was extremely tense because of course they didn't have self checkout so I said it was for my sister. Fast forward to getting out and she was still a shadow.

 

At the time I was living in denial. I was putting it off just as depression. Moving forward to when I moved down to the coast of Mississippi I bought more women's clothes wore them around the house and was very happy. I was severely depressed and attempted to commit suicide twice by gun pointed in my mouth. I was admitted both times. I later got rid of them because I was disgusted I could hear my Dad yelling at me in the mirror. I was married to my best friend and she gave me the confidence. We got clothes and I wore them on the weekends when I didn't have the kids. She put makeup on me and took a picture of me. I never felt so confident, secure, like I was in the spotlight for once. I was saddened because I knew we weren't going to stay together. I tested her and she said that would still stay with me even when she knew she wouldn't. I'm still going through the annulment process.

 

I told myself enough is enough and I'm going to tell everyone. April 17 I told family that I was a trans woman. A lot of support left but I still have some. It took the VA a while to schedule the appointments that I needed. I got suicidal thoughts they were wanting to admit for the third time. I told them I didn't want to and I came on my own free will so I was not going to let them. My doctors agreed that I have gender dysphoria and got an appointment for an endocrinologist. First appointment was a physical but was able to get the second appointment in a week. I was put on HRT May 24 got home at 959 and put on the first estrogen patch at 1000.

 

Two weeks later I don't feel as depressed (I'm still on 6 psych meds at max dosage) and I feel more happier more connected. Ever since I have been able to release Ashley my life has never been better. I still have work but I will take it as it is now. I can't wait till gender realignment surgery (GRS) and that will be just one of the surgeries that I will go through. Sorry for the long story but that's what happened.

I so wish this question had a simple answer, but it doesn’t. Like many other things, trans is a spectrum, some people don’t even realise they might be on the spectrum, while others re affected to the point of survival. And our place in the spectrum moves! Basically, trans people are born with a gender identity which varies from their anatomy. This conflict can create feelings of uncertainty like you are having, right up to overwhelming frustration. Gender identity isn’t the only possible cause for feelings like this, so a therapist can eliminate psychological causes. As Gender Identity is a brain structure thing, a psychologist can’t diagnose transgender other than it’s the only thing left to explain the feelings. So, until brain scans are accepted as a diagnosis, it will remain an ‘educated guess’.

 

From my understanding, the gender conflict creates levels of frustration and uncertainty. If doing gender affirming things like dressing, or acting as your gender identity, gives you relief (but not excitement) it is a pretty strong indicator that you are trans. There are no rules about what you have to do about being trans, and it is all about finding peace in your life. Strong frustration (dysphoria) can lead to a decline in health if not treated so it should not be ignored.

 

As I lay on the bench having my fortnightly 90 minute electrolysis session, often with tears leaking from my eyes, I know that only trans people would endure this level of pain to reduce dysphoria!

 

Hugs,

There is something reonsating with me under the nonbinary umbrella and I am wondering about this if you guys could be kind to help here..

If I am nonbinary and identify as like a demiboy or even a demigirl.. Is both of those still the same as being transgender?

Transgender is generally seen as an umbrella term covering all who question the gender norms. But, for most of us, our position is evolving, so trying to adopt a definition will usually cause confusion at some stage, so why bother? You are perfectly you!

Funnily enough, I chose the username Evolver on another forum I visit for that very reason.

 

@DestinyPanda Like me, you will probably tie yourself in knots trying to categorize yourself. It's futile, dear. You might be 1% trans or 99% trans and call yourself demi or bigender or trans or queer or nothing at all. It doesn't matter. The important thing is that you belong.

The technical definition of "transgender" is someone whose gender identity is not the same as their sex assigned at birth.  Since no doctor or midwife has ever said, "Congratulations, Mrs. Smith.  Your baby is non-binary", non-binary people are transgender under that definition.

 

However, most non-binary people I know use a different definition of the word.  I won't put words in their mouths, so I won't attempt to give a definition that works for them, because I don't understand what it is.  However, the NB people I know mostly do not consider themselves to be transgender.

 

So, while I personally would answer your question "yes", in reality, it depends on whom you ask.

Hey hopefully its fine to add to my now month old post.. But umm.. 

I'm just wondering if I now see myself identifying as nonbinary (Demigirl) but don't feel like a demigirl all the time and can sometimes don't see myself as transgender but would still say deep down I would choose to be a girl over a boy any day and would press the button to become a girl if one such existed? Like I want to get on HRT as well

Does that still count as me being transgender regardless just knowing the fact I dislike my assigned gender and want to be another gender?

 

I have explored with more feminine clothing and it gave me such happiness that lasted a whole day.. That has faded when wearing it now but it just feels normal like I am supposed to wear that stuff.

I think you have answered your own question with the last part of your sentence there.  That is how it feels when you are doing you just fine.

I suppose so?

No problems from me, HRT is actually used as a diagnostic tool because it will help you decide if it is right for you to Transition.  Your body will know if it right for you in a relatively short time before any irreversible changes really happen. You will need to either get a recommendation from at least one therapist, or if you are over 18 you could get the HRT by "Informed Consent" from an Endocrinologist.  Your state may be a little iffy, but I am going to suggest checking with the Trans health resources at Planned Parenthood or your nearest LGBTQ center.  Good luck on being YOU.

Mind If I ask what do you mean by "Your body will know if it is right for you"?

I'm someone who is AMAB if that helps?

It is something highly individual, but as you described with the clothing HRT will make you feel at home in your skin, or it will change nothing in your mind.  I have Transitioned friends who tried it and felt no better or worse on it, and decided it was not for them.  In my case there were subtle changes in how I generally felt for the better.  We have what are called receptor cells for the specific hormone, and if your receptor cells like and respond to E better than T you will feel it.  I have a condition where we know the cells respond to E better than T and give me feelings of overall better being.

I went on HRT and in a matter of days realized that there was some body tension I must have had for a very long time, enough to not be noticed, until it went away. I thought, 'I feel more relaxed than ever'. I had no idea at that point that that was a possibility, so think it wasn't a placebo effect.

 

And, generally, it was not a long time before people started saying, 'you seem happier' even if I wasn't out to them. There were no noticeable physical changes yet, which is what I thought would bring the happiness. Musta been those receptors.

I can't add to the wonderful answers already given. Relax and you'll get there.

As I read through this today for the first time, it made me wonder if HRT might be the way ahead to quell my dysphoria. I've discussed it with my therapist several times but have deferred seriously exploring it until I became more fully aware and confident of my true identity. Something to discuss at my session this week.

      https://apnews.com/article/title-ix-sexual-assault-transgender-sports-d0fc0ab7515de02b8e4403d0481dc1e7   The revised regulations don't touch on trans athletes; which I totally understand, as that's become a third rail issue and this is an election year.  But the other changes seem pretty sensible, and will obviously result in immediate right wing lawsuits.   Carolyn Marie

      They may win a few battles but not the war! as @Davie pointed out there is little truth if it full of lies, inconsistencies, and ignores evidence to the contrary. I saw this article earlier and have to agree here. Truth will win. This isn’t the first time this tactic has been tried. Always stick with the truth!
    • Susan R
      Welcome @violet r! Glad you joined our forum and got through the hardest part…that first post. As many have mentioned, we are more than accepting here as we affirm your gender identity and hold no judgement, whatsoever. There’s so much here on this forum, I think you’ll find very helpful. If you have trouble finding an answer just reach out, try the search but starting a new thread is usually best to get some quick answers. Many are here for various transgender related issues but many, if not all, are here to help one another if we can. It’s great to have you onboard.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      good evening   good day at work today.  I did do some things a little out of normal but everything was completed successfully.  As I said earlier, the Asst Mgr was my second today.  I don’t think she was too happy about that.  Several customers asked her where Richard was her answer was the manager cut his hours.  Well that is only part of the story,  his hours were cut just like mine were and several others but in his case he made demands about his hours that couldn’t be met.  But instead of making some non complaining remark about it she made sure to lay it all on the manager, thus throwing the manager under the bus.  Similarly when asked why she hadn’t been at work early mornings, she said she was being punished by the manager.  Well that’s partly true, she wouldn’t do what the manager told her to do so she took her off opening.  But secondarily she didn’t have a car to drive temporarily.  You can’t open the store without a car because who ever opens has tasks that require them to leave the store, so it was  at least partly her own fault.  But she chose to throw the manager under the bus for that.  I think she is asking to be fired for insubordination.  And if the manager gets these conversations off the security tape tomorrow she just might get her wish.   im pretty close to being ready to take the asst position but there isn’t anyone ready to take over my job, at least not at our store.  I suppose the other shift lead could if she is able to work earlier shifts and if the other closers were just a bit more reliable.   Ive been wanting some homefried chicken.  We found a BBQ place not far away that had such a chicken but I is made fresh when ordered so it has a 30 minute wait.  It was worth the wait and the other things we tried were also good.  Another restaurant on the list.  At least half of what we ordered came home for another meal.   i get to sleep in tomorrow, I go to work at 1:30!   Willow

      It was nine thirty.  Saturday morning had rolled around more quickly than Taylor could believe.  She groaned, whined, thought of a million excuses why she should just stay in bed and knock the alarm across the room.  But it would still be going on, and so would the promise to Bob: when the gi came in, she would be in. There it was in its nice package, out where she could not miss it.  Why didn't she hide it?  She shook her head.   Up she got.  Sometimes you just do.  Her hair was a wreck. She patted it down and went to the bathroom.  Nine forty five. Shower later. No make up. She hated kara-tay especially at an ungodly early hour on a Saturday morning. Bagel. Instant coffee.  She was five minutes away when she realized she had forgotten the gi.  Back she went.   Into the dojo.  She had about five minutes to get the gi on.  She attempted to slip in unnoticed and go to the little restroom. Someone barked something out in Japanese or something, and there was a dead silence.  She turned to see what was going on. Both classes were getting into their lines, but everyone, including Bob, was bowing slightly. To her. Bob nodded, and she returned the bow.  Life started again. She was touched.   Bowing three times. Oath. Kata.  She was facing off with Judy as her partner.  Judy looked worried.   "Sometimes you just gotta pick yourself up and try again," Taylor told her. She nodded. "Let's do this."   Lunge punch and lower block.  They traded off like nothing had happened the last weekend.  Lunge punch and middle block. Lunge punch and upper block.  It was kind of like dancing. Taylor enjoyed it.  She wanted to learn more.  Brown-belt Maggie adjusted position of limbs and hips for both Taylor and Judy, telling them when she was about to do something: elbow up a bit".    "How'd you do?" Bob asked her later.  They had both gone home and showered. Now they were in a booth at a fast food place.   "I was kind of disappointed class ended. I was ready for more."   "That's my trooper."   "I'm not allowing you in my apartment until we are married," she said suddenly.   "You think I am a problem?"   "No.  I think you are safe. You passed the test  I am the problem here."   "Okay."   "What did the doctor tell you?"   "It's complicated.  More tests coming.  Like getting into college.  I got a letter back.  It seems there is this big fat M on my transcript and my current picture is not an M type picture.  I have to write a letter and send them notarized proofs and stuff. Just delays. This is a pain. Nothing cut and dried."   "I will say.  I'm glad I'm not transgender."   "Hah. You are pulled into my world.  You are involved in this stuff as much as I am, and, as you put it, of your own free will."   "You are worth it."   "I hope so."   "I know so."

      On the way back to her desk she was interrupted by six short, urgent conversations that had to be attended to. Then she slipped into the women's room and locked the stall door.  She took a deep breath, then another, and allowed herself to shake for five minutes,  Then deep breathing, ten in and ten out, stretch up, touch the floor, neck rolls and she was fine. She used the toilet and a woman knocked and said, "Taylor, are you okay?"   "Ready to conquer the world!"  on her way out she found her makeup was fine.  Three stalls, two sinks.  If she ever designed a women's room with three stalls, there would be four sinks, with plenty of space to plunk your stuff down between them.   She met a deferential Karen.  "Here is the branding I came up with," she said.  And she went back to working as hard as Brenda and Mary, who looked up worriedly and then went back to the proposal.   Shortly before 5:00 she received an email with the title Consolidation and Compensation.  In it she learned that the position of office manager was eliminated, and the current office manager was to become the chief executive officer. The former CEO, along with the CFO, the chief legal officer, and sundry staff, had been terminated, per the Board of Directors.  Effective immediately everyone would receive a base salary of $20,000 with a commission to be set by the individual's supervisor.  Each supervisor would be given a certain percentage to distribute.  Most functions they had been handled would be outsourced as needed.   "The question of what profit was made last year is frequent enough to be answered.  The company lost over 500,000 in fiscal 2023.  At this point further cuts are not anticipated.  We will be strategically adding positions that will enhance our profits. Hard work is expected of everyone."   Her two web guys had been complaining because their games had been remotely uninstalled.  After the memo came out they were absolutely silent.  That gave her an idea, and after an exchange of emails they were reassigned to maintenance out at the plant, effective tomorrow morning.  There were lots of weeds that needed pulling, if nothing else. That email went out after they left early, for the day.  The maintenance foreman was a no-nonsense type who did not tolerate slacking, and they would learn a thing or two.  This also freed up two spaces for her to put new people.

      So…I didn’t know your Facebook avatar was public. So, on my birthday, a couple people used a group avatar message to wish me a happy birthday…and now my Facebook friends can see a short video of my female avatar dancing with an old friend’s and another with my uncle’s avatars. So am I “Facebook out” now? 😬

      No, they are not. Truth wins in the end and this report is full of lies that poison the whole thing: see this: "Dr. Cass Backpedals From Review: HRT, Blockers Should Be Made Available it's said. Dr. Cass's latest statements are likely to cast more doubt on the validity of the study, which has come under fire for disregarding substantial evidence on trans care." https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/dr-cass-backpedals-from-review-hrt?publication_id=994764&post_id=143743897&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true I hope Dr. Cass wins The Mengele Award for it.

      By which I mean there is a cultural stereotype of what a man is, and one of what a woman is.  Even worse, of what a transgender person is.   You be you.   I read of a boy who thought he was a girl because he did not adhere to some (rather toxic) conceptions of what it means to be a man, so he decided he was a girl.  He was told he didn't have to conform to stereotype and got happy. "You mean I don't have to transition?" He didn't want to, and was relieved.   Once upon a time if you were transgender they told you either you transition or die.   Incorporate the best of what it means to be a man and the best of what it means to be a woman as much as you possibly can, and let the rest go.  Be fully human. Be alive. Don't conform to some cultural crud.

      On the way back to her desk she was interrupted by six short, urgent conversations that had to be attended to. Then she slipped into the women's room and locked the stall door.  She took a deep breath, then another, and allowed herself to shake for five minutes,  Then deep breathing, ten in and ten out, stretch up, touch the floor, neck rolls and she was fine. She used the toilet and a woman knocked and said, "Taylor, are you okay?"   "Ready to conquer the world!"  on her way out she found her makeup was fine.  Three stalls, two sinks.  If she ever designed a women's room with three stalls, there would be four sinks, with plenty of space to plunk your stuff down between them.   She met a deferential Karen.  "Here is the branding I came up with," she said.  And she went back to working as hard as Brenda and Mary, who looked up worriedly and then went back to the proposal.   Shortly before 5:00 she received an email with the title Consolidation and Compensation.  In it she learned that the position of office manager was eliminated, and the current office manager was to become the chief executive officer. The former CEO, along with the CFO, the chief legal officer, and sundry staff, had been terminated, per the Board of Directors.  Effective immediately everyone would receive a base salary of $20,000 with a commission to be set by the individual's supervisor.  Each supervisor would be given a certain percentage to distribute.  Most functions they had been handled would be outsourced as needed.   "The question of what profit was made last year is frequent enough to be answered.  The company lost over 500,000 in fiscal 2023.  At this point further cuts are not anticipated.  We will be strategically adding positions that will enhance our profits. Hard work is expected of everyone."   Her two web guys had been complaining because their games had been remotely uninstalled.  After the memo came out they were absolutely silent.  That gave her an idea, and after an exchange of emails they were reassigned to maintenance out at the plant, effective tomorrow morning.  There were lots of weeds that needed pulling, if nothing else. That email went out after they left early, for the day.  The maintenance foreman was a no-nonsense type who did not tolerate slacking, and they would learn a thing or two.  This also freed up two spaces for her to put new people.
