Hi there

Hi everyone, I am a 23 year old from England. I am a musician and I love listening to punk rock and watching horror movies.

 

I was assigned male at birth and have lived as a male my whole life, but deep down I've always felt female. I have always wanted to be seen as a female by others, and every time I am called "he" or "him" it just doesn't sound right. I hate my body and wish it was feminine instead of masculine.

 

This is the first time in my life I have admitted this. I suffer with depression and anxiety but when I dress up in feminine clothing (in private) I feel happy and confident. I feel as though I am whole. Coming out as transgender (which I have come to the conclusion I probably am) just isn't an option though at the moment because it would be very upsetting for my family and ruin all my friendships. I have joined this forum to hear the experiences of similar people and and I hope one day I will be ready to live as a female.

I think you'll find quite a few music enthusiasts here as well.

Welcome! This forum is awesome, alot of helpful, supportive folks here. I just started using it recently to seek help sorting out my gender dysphoria. People here are pretty warm and welcoming. 

 

Love your username! I have a passion for punk rock here in the states. All my friends are anarcho crusties! ❤️

Welcome Sophie.  When i joined this site i was much like you.  I loved presenting as female.  I had started to move in society as myself but only where no-one knew me.  I also feared the reaction of family and friends.  The time i spent here and some time with a gender therapist helped me discover my path. 

Simply knowing i wasn't alone helped a great deal.

 

Hugs,

Thank you everyone for such a warm welcome! I really didn't expect such a friendly welcome. And it feels so nice to finally be referred to as my 'real' name instead of my male one ☺️

 

In response to Jani's question, I play guitar and bass.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie

      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again.

      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow

      I have shared my doses and levels a lot and no one has said anything. Yeah I put alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a dose. I tend to forget a lot of stuff on what needs to be done. I have been also using the calendar on my phone a lot. I missed an appointment because I didn't put it in my calendar.

      Feeling better than I did yesterday

      It's official. My doctor wants me retested after the last results (too high). The test, that she scheduled, was likely too close to the dose. She did tell me to keep the increased dose instead of reverting to my old one, probably because my "too high" wasn't that high. I don't know what the forum's stance is on results, knowing full well the rules against sharing dosage, so I'll keep those under wraps until I know if it's OK to share those. Less to say, it was over the range she feels comfortable with by about 50%, but taken a day earlier than the midpoint value she was expecting. Grains of salt everywhere!   Of course I messed everything up too, missing my dose for the first time, yesterday. I had to re-reschedule the lab I setup yesterday to Monday from Saturday after taking my shot this morning to avoid the same issue with the testing. I woke up and thought, "Thursday, what do I have to do for work today? OH -crap-, IT'S THURSDAY! I missed my shot yesterday!"   Anyhoo. Question for the ladies: does anyone else get a mild zen-like high after their shots/doses? My brain feels lighter and I'm happier and I feel a lot more girlie this morning. 💃

      I'm into my fourth month of HRT and just titrated up in dosage after my last checkup. This is my life. 🤭   I have yet to grow out of my B cup bras, but I have noticed more fullness, having started with gynecomastia. I am seeing less gapping in bras with my right breast, which has always been smaller than my left. My areolae are slightly pronounced/projected now, that are larger but not vastly greater in circumference, and I have noticed little to no nipple changes beyond their painful sensitivity.

      -It's not a sprint it's an endurance.  -It won't happen overnight. -Seek a gender therapist. -You might lose a lot of support but hang in there. If they truly loved and cared about you they would stay. -Retail therapy helps and plus it builds your wardrobe and shoes. -Makeup is an artwork. It takes lots of practice to do it right and watch YouTube videos on how to put it on or someone who is knowledgeable. -You are going to have roller coaster emotions so don't rush anything.
