    I used to be a woman, so I’d say I freak out and then I’d be depressed lol

        As in, how did I figure out I was a boy? Sure.

        I always felt like “one of the boys” from a very young age. I’d play games for “boys”, played hockey, took boxing classes etc., hung out exclusively with boys and hated girls.

        Around the age of 12, I went clothes shopping with my mom, and I asked for boys clothes. She refused and I cried myself to sleep that night. Many more times I asked for boys / men’s clothes and got denied, and every time I fell into a deep (diagnosed) depression.

        I had no idea why, nor what “being trans” was or meant. Over the years, I kept saying things like “if I was a boy, I would x” or “if I was a boy my name would be x”, to which my friends reacted with “you know cis people don’t say or think those things as often as you do right? Might wanna get that checked out”.

        It took until feb. 2023 for me to seek help, and when I did they were all unanimous: I am trans. I bought men’s clothes, stopped shaving and begun hormone therapy in May. I’ve never been this happy in my entire life.

        My boyfriend stuck around (he’s bi) and has been super supportive.

    Masturbate, max out my credit cards on clothes and same-day sex toys, body hair removal, stab myself in the eye with mascara and eyeliner pencil, book tubal ligation, get period stopping birth control, septum ring, mani-pedi, smash gashes with lasses, fuck myself sore.

    Day 2 would be a self-care day of cozy sweaters, cocoa, movies, and trying to vibrate my clit off.

      You really get it lol. Also, hope you don’t wake up on the first day of the periods. Or the 3 days before. Or the 5 days during the period and 2 days after :)

        Day one waking up with an axe wound would not be a great start. I’d probably just have to try out the massage setting on the showerhead and shove some paper towels up there. Then put on sweatpants and a hoodie then run to the store to pickup midol, period supplies, ugly underwear, chocolate, and a vibrator.

          I can only describe my periods this way: like someone is twisting a serrated knife constantly in your belly (uterus). Up and down, left, right, up and down… It doesn’t stop for 3 days straight…I’m really looking forward to menopause…no amount of painkillers help. But the chocolate and nice people does :)

    Call one of my woman friends and ask them come over to help me to learn do the woman stuff I don’t know how to do.

    Find it really effin fascinating. But then keep dressing in mens clothes.

    I have a fascination with gender swapping (and general body transformation) but it has never extended to clothes. I dont get why its so often clothes and crossdressing that other people of this kind enjoy. I just would appreciate a different body. And lower height. And not being so scary-looking. But being socially able to dress in female clothing doesnt interest me at all.

      Everybody’s experience being trans is different and you don’t even have to fit all the symptoms to be trans

      I can’t say if you are trans or not because that is for you to discover

        I’m not. I’m not that uncomfortable in my current body. Just small annoyances. And the wish to try something new. I guess.

          That is true I’m only saying it’s not needed to like feminine clothes or that liking feminine clothes doesn’t automatically make someone trans (only identifying as trans makes someone trans), I know a lot of Femboys who enjoy it while still identifying as male (myself included).

          Not saying that they can’t be or certainly aren’t trans.

    Me personally I would be extremely happy and not depressed anymore since I’d have a body that matches me

    No I don’t identify as male, I used too until my egg cracked
