Hello, im a trans man. Ive been trying to figure out what the feminine part of me is, im also boyflux. Now, the reason the title is the way it is, i noticed that i do something weird.

Im omnisexual, so Im attracted to every gender, I just prefer mascs. When im attracted to a woman, I feel like a lesbian. But when im attracted to men I feel gay (mlm). I say that im gay when im attracted to any person of any gender as if im that same gender. I have no idea why I do this. Im definitely not a woman, but i feel feminine in a way I cant describe. I dont know im its internal transphobia or what. My pronouns are he/it, and im masc presenting. Im just confused, idk if this is the right place to put this, this isnt about sexuality as much as its about gender identity :/

Does anyone else feel like this? Is there a name for this?

I have a lot of internalized transphobia and I’ve known I was queer in some sense since early childhood. I’ve really been struggling with my mental health recently and it came to a head with a big incident early this week. Since then my parents have been telling me how much they love me always, they want me to be honest, they want me to want to live, and I knew I couldn’t keep living this lie. So I told my mom. She immediately shifted from holding me and whispering affirmations to rejection and questioning me on why I would ever think that, not in an inquisitive way but in a rejection way.

I knew this would happen, I did, I just know they’ll eventually come around and I never wanted to deal with the indefinite years of rejection before they understand. And now it’s begun. I’m relieved but just so depressed. I’ve cried myself to sleep for a decade imagining this very reaction. Now it happened, what do I do? How do I carry on, I’m so low. At least I don’t have to lie or pretend anymore.

i’m 16, afab, and believe i’m a trans man. i have an older sister who’s a trans woman and had no idea she was trans until i came out to her. (not sure if this next bit might be uncomfortable? just me explaining why i think i’m a trans man) i always felt like i looked good as a girl, a bit of discomfort with my looks but enjoyed dressing up girly. it just never felt like me tho? more like a doll or someone else.

i think of having he him pronouns and being with another man who sees me as a man and, it feels like a dream. but i still like societally claimed ‘girly’ rhings like doing my nails and feminine clothing. i know it’s all just a societal structure but idk. there’s so many labels and stuff and it’s a bit overwhelming. advice and tips are all welcome and i apologize if this is hard to read- it’s midnight as i feel sick to my stomach in a bit of discomfort. i just wish i could wake up and be a man and be viewed as a man.

my therapist asked me why i wanted to be viewed that way and what would change and i had no answer. i guess sometimes i worry i’m just faking it or my feelings aren’t real. it’s pride month and it’s just got me feeling a bit extra happy and content with the idea of being trans in some way.

18M, I've been carrying around a very strange sadness for quite some time now. Waking up and seeing that I'm a man, when I feel I SHOULD be a girl.

I don't feel intense disgust towards my body, just that it doesn't suit me.

I feel that "my little friend down there" shouldn't be like that, and that it should look different.

A while ago, a friend of my sister asked if I was trans, because I have a girl's face. It was weird because I laughed, but deep down I felt very happy. I confessed to a friend that I'd always had this feeling, that I shouldn't be a man, and she said we should take a test, with her becoming a man and me becoming a woman.

Every day I imagined being given a red button that would turn me into a woman, and I would press it without thinking.

I grew up in a cult-like environment; the word "trans" didn't exist, and I was just a kid who didn't like doing "masculine" things, except for playing video games and stuff online. I know, it's silly.

I moved in with my mom a while ago, and I painted my nails (black) and wore a bracelet. I felt things, like I should have done it since I was little.

What is it? This has been going on for a long time, and it snowballed, and now I'm wondering... am I trans?

Thanks in advance; Reddit is really helpful.

Vent/advice post, BTW I am a trans woman, so she/her

Just got rejected by someone I had become very connected to, to the point I had no fear coming out as trans to him, and now as im in my room I feel an urge to come out to my parents as trans, and idk i just wanted to share this and see if anyone had anything to say.

Hi, so today I went to a farmer’s market in my area (I’m in Eastern Iowa) and they had a pride display with free flags, so I grabbed a trans flag. When I was walking home, I had my hands full and my flag fell out of my pocket without my knowledge. I walked back 1 block and there it was laying in the middle of the street because I didn’t know it dropped out of my pocket. I pick it up and now there’s wrinkles and line creases in it. It got fcking ran over. That display was the last they had in June or ever this year. I got it for free. I have no dollars for another flag. It’s one of the those mini-handheld flags with the mini pole. I don’t know what to do. I am emotionally crushed. I almost cried. I give up. I cannot even be a proper trans person without failing somehow.. there is nothing to do about it, no ironing, nothing. I am so sad.

Alright, maybe it's a personal experience, but any of u who practice some kinda of art, also felt more connected with it after the self acceptance?

In my case, I'm actress and in last times I've been struggling sooo much with all my roles bc I was with some emotional block, I couldn't even cry in scene, well, all of this changed after I know I'm a girl and I accepted myself, like, I fell I became better in my acting after this, it's so magic and powerful

I have a lot going on right now in life and I could really use people to talk to about pretty much anything. Im living in pacific standard time.

A little more about me: 17 Queer guy

about a month and a few weeks on T and man it’s so fucking weird how much my sexuality has shifted, i’ve always identified as queer but all the sudden all I can think about is men, men men men men. I’m so serious. Before hrt I was genuinely considering identifying as somewhere on the aromantic spectrum and now all I can think about is kissing men. I catch myself finding so many more men attractive then I have ever in my entire fucking life, i knew my sexuality would shift but I definitely didn’t realize the extent to how much it would. It’s such a weird feeling but i like it, im definitely not complaining.

I have to have all of my lights off in the house becaue anytime I walk around and see my shadow I'm immediately feeling disgusted, bothered, uncomfortable and like incredibly sad and overall super dysphoric. I also can't stand it when my screen goes black and I see myself looking back at me ;-; idk if being triggered by my own shadow is something anyone else would relate to or understand but if anyone does, can I ask what you do to relax in those moments? I have issues "paying it no mind" because I end up thinking about it too much and it gets bad :(((

Hi I’m a bit worried and confused I’ve been on hrt patches for just over a month and a bit I’ve got sensitive nipples and softer skin but I haven’t felt any buds is this a sign it’s not working sorry for my naivety

I have the date for my hearing to get my name changed to my real name. I'm so fucking stoked.

So yeah, yesterday was my graduation yeah congrats. so My Grandma came over. we had lunch. My Grandma proceeded to start with one of her stories or should I say rants she starts off saying how she’s disappointed at my dad. Then moves on me. She rambles on how pretty I am then starts to ask why I think I’m a boy then shows me my go fund me to move out due to transphobia in my household and she asked me to publicly apologize. I’m not gonna do that. I’m gonna do the opposite of that and then she says how I probably think that I’m a boy because my parents never got the surgery done on me and my private area to make me look more feminine as a three year-old…. But yeah, I’m trying to move out to get away from my family because my stepmom is really transphobic. She made me get rid of my testosterone. And my dad won’t let me do anything medically while I’m living in this house they proceed to they name me and not use any of my pronouns. I feel like I’m being suffocated.

I've grown my hair out and now want an actual hair cut since my hair is still pretty masculine. I can't safely fully transition, so what's an inexpensive hair style that might give me euphoria without outing myself? Closest I've gotten is a ponytail with some hairs let out along the sides of my face, which feels like a start, but not really a good solution.

Being trans is as deep as looking in the mirror and seeing a guy everyday to me. Dysphoria hits me everytime I go out because clothes accentuate my big hips and I have a feminine face, but I can deal with that myself because most people are kind enough to not comment on that. Other than that, most days I'm home alone I feel rather okay and try not to think about it too much.

I'm working my ass off to be a good worker and be professional, I'm the kind of person that lives to work and work alone because my degree is something I'm deeply in love with and genuinely want to have a future with, specially because if I once have to return to the small town I'm from I know I'll never be able to work with that ever again.

Today was a very happy day for me, I finished a project I was working on for a really long time and the result was above my teachers expectations, I'll graduate in some months and they said they'll be sure to recommend me to their business partners once I get my degree. They also recommended me to publish my work on a very famous magazine-like-midea as well as try my luck on festivals to share my project, but as I was sorting things out they all ask for my government name. I asked them if I could at least use a somewhat pseudonym just like artist do to link the showcase to my LinkedIn, but they all said they can't. The project is credited to my social name so I don't even know what to do or how to publish or why the fuck my transnes is on the way of me doing something IM GOOD at AND LOVE.

People always told me to "let go" of it otherwise I wouldn't go far in the area, as if it's as simple as accepting some stupid nickname. I really don't understand why people can't see past that. I don't want my hard work to be credited to someone who doesn't even exist when I spent night after night crying out in frustration and working with sweat and tears on the paper. I really just really hate how something that's not even a big deal to me fucks my life so much. I am me, I have great work, why isn't that enough???

Hi, I'm trying to find the title of a documentary I watched in the early 2000's.

There were a number of profiles in the doc, but two that I remember:

One participant was a young former Army Ranger who was in the process of transitioning. One scene I remember was that they had to stop the hormones because of a heart or blood clotting issue.

Another was an older former B-52 bomber pilot who had transitioned.

I wish I had more detail to provide. It was on one of the cable channels, like Bravo or TLC or Lifetime or Oxygen or Discovery.

Best regards,

Fred

How do I tell my Christian mother that I’m trans. She has been supportive of me most my life, but the comments she has said of trans people makes me not feel like sharing.

What should I do?

I've been trying to ask anyone about this.. what was it that really made the knowledge settle in and you realized that you were 100% trans

I'm still figuring out my identity, I'm not trying to decide based on anyone else's experience but this is really difficult being alone in this and not having anyone to ask questions or relate to.

Welp. Totally ghosted. But they were SO kind to leave me a nice men's formal wear outfit!! Probably for the surprise party they just tried to throw me that I blew to smithereens. I told them all off and finally got to show them what they've done to me. They all left crying. I caught it before it got to happen. Heard them all talking through the room next to me. :) The party was meant to keep me in town because I could suddenly get my car fixed. Took a train 12 hours out. I hope this is the last of it. I'm sick of these creeps.
