What made you transition?

Well, someone told me to “grow a pair” and I mistakenly thought they were talking about breasts.

I kept hearing people talk about NFTs and thought they meant Non-Functioning Testicles

I lost my hood ornament to atrophy and learned t would reverse it. Just for 3 months I thought. It's over a year now, and I feel amazing. I realized, fuckit, I'm transitioning now. The plan was to wait till I had I had my own space but...nope. doing it now.

That's the tip of a massive iceberg of dysphoria, self harm, dissociation and other shit. But trying t, just as an experiment, was like turning off the static that had clouded everything since I was 8 or 9. I felt something new and good. I felt whole.

I knew I wasn’t a man, and I realized that that didn’t mean I had to be a failure. I could be something else.
It’s been rough these last few years, but I don’t have the crippling depression and intrusive thoughts anymore. I am a work in progress with visible success.

Bwhahaha! I love this x

Tricked myself into thinking I'd be much happier just staying in a lane that was never made for me. Turns out I was very very wrong x)

My engineering school kept complaining that there were so few women students so I decided to do my part to even that out

Tired of faking the wrong gender and hiding boobs I had since 13 (XXY). Slouching ruined my neck. It was exhausting. I drank every single day for almost 20 years and was miserable. My drinking just suddenly stopped once I transitioned full time and started HRT. I haven't been this sober since 1998 💜

I was like, "my lifts are mediocre, what if I could nuke my testosterone and keep trying to lift?"

lainkaplan.bsky.social•12 days ago

Who doesn’t love a challenge?
At my last in person job I was lifting 30-40 pound boxes constantly and with careful motion and proper motion. I mids the workout.

So worth it.

I only transitioned because my ex told me that ladies don’t fart.

Sheesh, was she ever wrong!!!

I wanted to actually recognise my face when I look in the mirror.

I knew since age 9 that I was uncomfortable being a boy and had a secret wish to be a girl. I didn’t know changing gender was a real thing people did, and when I found out transition existed at age 15, I was pretty immediately like “yes, one of those please”

I realized coming out as trans would make my already shitty full of abuse life 500 times worse, but at least I'd no longer be lying to myself.

larrydeluca.bsky.social•14 days ago

I found a fascinating abstract on transitioning and regret. The top three reasons for detransitioning (which was usually temporary anyway) were:

1. pressure from family
2. being tired of facing harassment and discrimination
3. difficulty finding work

Regretting the decision itself: nowhere.

Do you have a link or do you remember the name of the article? That sounds really interesting.

This one hears a lot of beings get hit with that one.

It took a lot. Decades of depression, collapsing in the shower crying, being unable to look at myself in the mirror, those thoughts, every day, inescapable, telling me to end it. So I tried. I failed five times. I knew I had to transition, or I wouldn't survive the next, I felt that deep down.

rinkuraku.bsky.social•14 days ago

But I still couldn't. I needed a push or two. A customer told me life is too short for bad chocolate. She meant it literally, but I took it more metaphorical. Then I read a web comic about an egg who was isekaied as a girl, then returned, and transitioned. It's silly, but those gave me the push.

syovere.bsky.social•14 days ago

Covid.

kept getting the thought "all those masks would make this a great time for someone to transition", and a few months in realized "oh wait it's me"

(the decade of asking myself who I was and being unable to answer also contributed)

tabris-sky.bsky.social•14 days ago

This will get dark.

For me, transition was better than dying.

My mom told me she couldn’t accept my transfeminine friend as a woman because she didn’t shave her legs, and that it was a “rule” that in order to be a real woman, she must shave their legs.

I didn’t shave mine either. Oops 🤪

Language matters. I had to do a lot of soul-searching when someone told me to eat a bag of dicks.

I was told women aren't supposed to have jawlines and thought the womanhood was more worth getting rid of than my Chad jaw

marissarowan.bsky.social•13 days ago

Same, and I wanted to grow a pair of breasts, too.
