A community for transfeminine people and experiences.

This is a supportive community for all transfeminine or questioning people. Anyone is welcome to participate in this community but disrupting the safety of this space for trans feminine people is unacceptable and will result in moderator action.

Debate surrounding transgender rights or acceptance will result in an immediate ban.

Posters may express that they are looking for responses and support from groups with certain experiences (eg. trans people, trans people with supportive parents, trans parents.). Please respect those requests and be mindful that your experience may differ from others here.

To make such a request, at the start of the body of your post, not in the title, the first line should look like the this: [Requesting Engagement from _________]

I had everything figured out when I started HRT. I knew at what point my mediocre health insurance would pay for part of various procedures. I could put pins in different points on the timeline and tell myself, "ok, once I'm here, I should be comfortable with x, y, and z and out in these spheres of my life". Things like that.

Now I'm coming up on 6 months in and there are days when I just feel like I'm gonna go insane. Like, how did I ever think I was going to stay not-out to most of the world for a year of this? When I'm at home and I can girlmode a bit, things are OK, but holy shit boymode at work and in the hyper-male atmosphere in some of my hobbies is just killing me. Mirrors get progressively worse. My patience seems almost nonexistent. I start daydreaming of just ripping my face off, or researching shoulder width reductions.

Obviously I wasn't ready for any of this. Did other folks run into this? How do you stay afloat?
