Yeah if you don't mind, please. Honestly I'm pretty stuck on what to do, and I mean, having some options can't hurt, right?

At the clinic, I would be able to get a diagnosis, get referred to a gender clinic to possibly start hormones, to possibly get on anxiety medication so I can maybe function when going out. The plan was to provide a base for me to be able to get better in therapy, my therapist really needs that sort ...

Thanks, honestly that would kind of help. And yeah, this is certainly a long thread. I think this just really sucks in so many aspects of this just suck. Like the person who hurt me getting away, again, and then it getting so much harder for me to get the help I need. I've fought so hard for so long...

Alright, so I certainly have a whole lot to I guess challenge myself although my therapist would want to change that word because it's making a judgement and now accepting the "now" which I'll explain a bit. As far as the yes and thoughts, I think that kind of goes along with just acceptin...

Firstly, I really want to say I'm sorry that happened to you and add, again that it wasn't your fault. You also deserve support around this. It's great you're going to connect with your therapist, it can be really great to have that space with a professional who can help you. I wonder, I know you me...

I'll definitely be bringing up that idea that I might not be getting any sort of closure with it and talking through some ways in which I can cope with it, maybe plan a bit for what this might mean for me. It sucks, which is an understatement but like it really does suck to watch this happen. My anx...

Thank you so much for all of that! A lot of this is so crazy to me, because I wasn't taught a single thing about such an incredibly important piece of history. Even as I'm researching there's things that I didn't know talked about in your writing, so thank you - I still have to look through the ACT ...

Right now, I just need a place to be able to get this out. I didn't think it would hurt this much, ever, to know that it's stopped. Knowing the person that hurt you, just got away scott free, again, not for the first time. That is all that's been on my mind. They got away with abusing me for two fre...

So It's been a little bit, and a) I'm not 100% sure what's going on for horriblegoose based off xir account info, gotta be honest, I'm a little worried but sadly, there's nothing I can really do except hope xe is okay. but b) I ended up doing a bit of research and I've noticed some pieces around thi...

Alright! Good to know, thank you. I'm not really sure exactly what I want to do with it honestly, I haven't really thought that through entirely, it's still pretty new. I have been looking into that a little bit, but really don't know much about where I'd even start. It's kind of just been something...

A lot of things have really changed for me in the past year, but writing has been something that has really helped me throughout everything, including lately with what has been happening in the world. Previously in school, it was just slowly adding on and reviewing topics we had been learning for ye...

Too, I kind of want to add in here, that oh yeah, it sucks big time to have to question what you do. I still have to do that a lot with my family just because after years, I’m finally making progress and don’t want anyone to second guess that. I like Al’s comment about wearing it at night, but also,...

So, I'm pretty backed up on the science portion of being trans, so I think I might be able to answer this a bit. So, I've seen that you've gotten top surgery, but I don't believe you're on T? If you are on testosterone then that would give you that adams apple, but even if not, some people with fema...

I'm glad to hear that =) With tucking, I can't imagine it being easy but from what I've heard it primarily just takes time and practice, as well as trying a few different methods, it would be pretty awesome to get it right in one go, but sadly that's just not the case. I pack (creating a bulge rathe...

I also found this, which might be helpful if you're still curious as to what other people experienced being trans, I've been reading through it for a little while now and thought you might enjoy reading it too. On the side there's quite a few other trans people's stories so yeah, that's cool: https:...

It's fine not to reply with a long thread, it doesn't like offend me or anything, you make your points short and quick and I understand where you're going with them so it's fine. I'm so so sorry you're having to deal with this!! That really sucks more than words can really describe. It makes sense t...

Hi, Everglow! I'm glad to hear you made the decision that feels right for you, I've never found it to be a good idea to stay in a relationship you're tired of. Also, I'm glad you seem interested in this new boy, and that you sound so interested in that. I think that's pretty normal to feel like you'...

I think there's definitely been a lot of information but there's a few pieces I definitely want to go back and touch on real quick. I'm really sorry to hear about your family situation, I know how hard that can be and I hope that gets better. I also want to let you know that part of being closeted, ...

I can definitely answer a bit partially based off personal experience, I’m transgender ftm and have been out and transitioned for about 5 years now. There’s a few different pieces I picked up on from this, part of that is I’ve been learning more that there isn’t a “right” way to be trans, kind of li...

Okay cool, I wasn’t 100% sure about that one but that makes sense. I think honestly at this point I have it pretty narrowed down to what’ll work for me so thank you!

My mom didn’t scream like she was mad at me it was just an “ew” from the other room (that was the scream, honestly I found it funny, it wasn’t to be mean), I explained how I felt, my parents strongly disagreed, I started the whole “this is my body” and then I mentioned that I keep my packer clean, a...

Thanks! My dad ended up saying no, I think he just doesn’t want to be looking for that (not because it’s strange but because he knows I have other options and doesn’t want to be in the store any longer than needed), which honestly I kind of understand - he does a lot of that for me whenever I need t...

Yeah, people definitely get weird about it but idk, it's kind of my choice, I think people just really need to get over the idea that it's gross, wrong or bad, it shouldn't be like that but whatever (I do think you get pretty used to it just being a thing when you get a period though). She's fine wi...

I think that was her main concern, and I tried to say that there wasn't really a sanitary risk myself -- and it's good to hear I was right with that -- I don't fully understand it because she's had a period, and has never described it as being a weird thing but with this using a cup it was weird to ...

Okay, I've wanting to ask this for like a hot minute, and idk, I've kind of put it off because to me it's weird. I've heard a lot about menstrual cups, and it seems like a pretty decent option considering I hate using pads and tampons (pads specifically I dislike), I would think having a more discre...
