I love my parents despite their flaws and they accepted and are trying to be supportive but… When I made my coming out things were said that was not really ok.

“Better that than a disease or cancer” … I mean REALLY do I have to be compared to cancer or some kind of awful disease.

“Be careful about HIV.” - > everyone should be careful about that. I know where this comes from but… Still.

And the classic : “you’re still my son”

At the end they said child at least when I told then that’s not the goal of my transition.

I understand they are from a different generation still. And somehow that was the best reaction they could have in my mind.

Edit : I gave them some reading to understand a bit better some things. But teaching parents is hard.

I get it too, I just love this new type of arousal so much more. You know I’ve never felt like “Butterflies” before hrt. This feeling is magic. The increased sensitivity…

My needs have changed too, and somehow I get it for the thirsty part, been there and exploring those feeling just slightly.

Hey, not sure this will help.

Basically societaly i have given 0 clues to others that I was trans. Always have been the person people expected me to be. And somehow, after my own revelation (at a drag show 😊) I was like. Damn but there’s a community here actually. They do exist. When I look back a lot of things make sense about my own identity (maybe I do want to link some event to my transidentity but even then? Do I really need to convince myself? Probably a bit deep down.)

Everyone transitioning is valid whatever they lived. If “You” want to do it (I do put emphasis in the you part it is important). Then you should do it. It’s ok not knowing exactly who you want to be. I was stuck a really long time (thick egg shell, but not only.).

Everything escalated quickly after that, even hrt, and well after 3 months and half, no regrets. I love the changes. It gave me motivation to change, weight loss through proper care (not easy everyday still), affirming myself, do things I forbade myself, knowing it wouldn’t be “me” - the image I was reflecting the world - not my inner self… To me it was a liberation.

:3

Honestly good and bad things?

I did some things I could never imagine doing. Not gonna extend on that. I have now, what I consider a best-friend. That was not something I have made in ages. I’ve been on a guilt-trip too and had a day where dysphoria was a bit over the top and had some intrusive thought. (Not too hard things, no worries about that)

My monster contains water right. Right? :3

Boobs rule. Mine will too :3

It’s tempting

Now I want the same outfit 😊

Looking great!

Nothing changed in that aspect for me?

I dunno, but what impress me the most is how body reacts now to stimulus whether it’s a mental image or physical touch. I love it so much and I wish as I was on THS F sooner.

Disgust is stronger as well as euphoria and laughter.

I’ve never laughed as much as I have these days.

Honestly before I could have a chuckle, a smile, probably a good laugh 2-3 times in 30 years pre-ths.

Need both, and skirts too, and high socks because I’m a stereotype and I like it.

Honestly, I’ve known someone who just wanted to escape a shitty family and cut ties.

Removing their given name was a way to do it.

I’m glad you did though. Yeah it made me feel a mixed bag of emotions. But I’m happy to have discovered this.

Finished it during my lunch break (glad I can be alone during these breaks).

I know that I will live some of this and it scares me. But at the same time. It’s good not to go on with a blindfold. The world is not forgiving.

I had constructed a thick shell denying myself of who I wanted to be. I was what was expected of me. It was easier in a way, until it wasn’t.

It makes me want to hug the narrator so bad.

I need some skirts too ( ˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈♡)

I’m started reading, I’ll have to finish it but damn… I understand somehow. Read a few panels so far. Just wow heavy.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Me when I was a teen : "that’s normal to want to be a girl. When you’re a boy. The opposite must be true too. "

“Me the dense dummy”

Oh yeah that happens to me since I’m a kid. I was told it was harmless but never had source.

I’m glad, I don’t feel dysphoria about it (well it happened, but didn’t last).

The only thing I wouldn’t like would be if the other person would focus on it.

I don’t really know yet.
