heads up to the reddit trans girls who recently moved over! we dont voice train here. we love the fag voice. dont worry if you havent shaved the tumblr tgirls go crazy using to like a scratching post. let yourself live a little here
The fact that the only way to avoid the "erections hurt after HRT" thing is to just jack off a lot is very funny to me.
vegan-cum asked:
hey, do you have any advice for girls worried about transitioning when they aren't like 19? anything really cool HRT did for you?
It sucks that sometimes trans people feel like it's "too late" when they're only 25! And obviously, you're gorgeous not to mention really kind and smart, so I'd love to hear your perspective :)

it is never too late to transition.
i’m 32 now and transitioned when i was 29 in the middle of lockdown in 2020. it’s been over three years now and i’m the happiest i’ve ever been.
and the thing is, i wasn’t ready to transition until i was 29. i knew i was trans ever since i was a young kid even if i didn’t have the words to describe it until i was 21. but i knew and i just wasn’t ready.
and in the time that it took me to be ready, i learned a lot of really important things that make me the woman i am today.
i went to therapy and learned how not to be ashamed of my gender identity and who i am. and that in turn helped me be as outspoken as i am about how important it is to have radical self love in a world that tells us that we aren’t worth loving. and that’s something that i really needed and something that i share because i know so many people like me need to hear.
i think a lot of people who haven’t transitioned yet are focused on what happens in early transition. things like your body changing and learning how to present the way you want. and yeah, thinking about and worrying about those things is such an important part of early transition.
but the whole reason that it’s important is because it’s during those moments, when you face your doubts, that growth happens. you learn how to be more comfortable in your skin as you affirm your gender. and the more you affirm that part of yourself, you realize that even though things aren’t perfect, that maybe you don’t look exactly how you wanted to, you still feel good about yourself.
and that is why we transition.
it’s almost impossible to conceive actually being happy when you’re so worried about the process of getting there. but take it from people like me, who’ve been through that process later in life (and people who have transitioned even later) the wait is absolutely worth it 🙂
that page of the transgirl romance comic where she kisses her hand and her hair while affirming her gender identity is so good I am not kidding it would be so wildly effective on me, I think I would entirely melt if this was done to me, just immediately become putty in their hands
my gender is this is the story of a man named Stanley. Stanley worked for a company in a big building where he was employee # 427. Employee # 427’s job was simple: he sat at his desk in room 427 and he pushed buttons on a keyboard. Orders came to him through a monitor on his desk, telling him what buttons to push, how long to push them, and in what order. This is what employee 427 did every day of every month of every year, and although others might have considered it soul rending, Stanley relished every moment that the orders came in, as though he had been made exactly for this job. And Stanley was happy. And then one day, something very peculiar happened, something that would forever change Stanley, something he would never quite forget. He had been at his desk for nearly an hour when he realized that not one, single order had arrived on the monitor for him to follow. No one had shown up to give him instructions, call a meeting, or even say hi. Never in all his years at the company had this happened, this complete isolation. Something was very clearly wrong. Shocked, frozen solid, Stanley found himself unable to move for the longest time, but as he came to his wits and regained his senses, he got up from his desk and stepped out of his office
