Trans female here, AMA

@MrTree

I’m actually quite confident! I’ve been on HRT for about 7 months, and my estrogen levels are exceeding my testosterone levels by a lot. I see my dysphoria worsening or getting better dependent on my location. For instance, I feel absolutely amazing at school, but horrible when I’m near my grandparents, which is more of a generational thing.

This is genuinely the first time I’ve ever had this question asked! Also, sorry if my answer isn’t exactly what you were looking for. If it wasn’t, just let me know <3

It is actually what I was asking lol. Do you ever see that confidence changing with your age though? Like as you go through college and maybe into your adulthood, do you think you’d ever wish you could go back? Have you ever wished that before?

@MrTree

Sweet!

I haven’t had any thoughts about “going back”, and I don’t really see myself having those thoughts. Growing up, I never had a father figure, so…I don’t really know how to do male stuff properly. xD

@alex
That’s very interesting! Do you think it would it be different if you ever had a good male figure in your life?

@MrTree

i think it might have gone differently, but I feel like I would have still ended up experimenting with my identity/sexual orientation at some point. The possibilities are endless.

@alex
Fair enough lol. Would you rather you had just been born as the other gender or do you feel its part of your identity to have transitioned?

@MrTree

I don’t see being trans as a prominent trait of my personality or identity as a whole. Just a homoromantic tomboy who wants to have some fun (not like that) and live her life :p

Forgot to mention - I have wished that I was born female before, but I’m not really sure if I’d actually want that.

Sorry for the delayed response, just woke up from my rest.

@alex Nonbinary Person here >:)

@Kumi-Hoshi it took me years to realize that non-binary is on the transsexual spectrum, I dunno what was so complicated about it to my younger brain xD

I have a functioning brain now, so I’m going to write a response to this, and it’s going to be long and includes a mention of what would be considered SA/SH. You have been warned.
This is also a really vague explanation that doesn’t really go through the whole process of finding a name, coming out to my mother multiple times, coming out to my friends and grandparents, etc…

I grew up without a father figure (as mentioned prior in a response to Mr. Tree), and was exposed to more “feminine” activities and behaviour throughout my upbringing. I never really noticed I had dysphoria until around 7th grade (2018/2019 I think) when I started to sort of experiment with what genders I was attracted to, finding that for a time, I was attracted to both, so I settled on bisexual for a bit. This has obviously changed over the years, but it was a start. I “came out” to my mother as bisexual shortly after, and she told me I shouldn’t believe everything I see on the internet, concerned mother of course, but she was 100% correct. I had no clue what sexual orientation was until I experienced/witness some certain things (Don’t ask for details, as I cannot elaborate at all for a multitude of reasons ranging from personal to legal).

On a lighter note (here’s your final warning, don’t read this if mentions of SA can trigger anything for you)

Spoiler

one of the first things that actually made me feel more feminine was when I was groped in the chest area in 8th grade (2019/2020). At that point, I was going by a different name (don’t feel like saying it) and preferring more feminine things, but leaned closer to non-binary because I wasn’t entirely sure yet. I actually recently got to reconnect with the friend who did this, we stayed pretty close since I knew it was a joke, and it inadvertently spurred a part of who I am now. He doesn’t remember it, but since it’s basically a “core memory” for me, I remember it clearer than I can see with my own two eyes.

Trigger warning is no longer in effect.

The reason I’m uncomfortable with my birth sex (male) is sort of complicated, but also basically entirely explained in the last few paragraphs. And about the “trans females don’t really have the issues of periods”: We don’t get the actual period, with the bleeding and stuff, but we can experience symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and/or premenstrual dysphoria disorder (PMDD), which, depending on hormone levels and who you are: can be quite extreme. I call it a period when I experience PMS/PMDD because I don’t feel like explaining it. They behave the same way as a normal period, just without physical cramping in the lower extremities and without the blood, though blood output is slightly increased based on my experience (I get bloody noses sometimes because something in my septum is messed up). I think that should be everything answered with as much detail as I can possibly add to explain everything. If I missed something please let me know. And, since you made it this far, go get yourself a nice cold glass of water. <3
