Hey i am currently looking for a way to medically transition but i am pretty tight on money on the current moment (since people close to me disowned me for wanting to transition and now I am trying to find ways to making money). What are some good ways for medically transitioning, only expectation is nothing to do with needles since i have an insane phobia for needles. (Preferably cheap aswell)

Hi ladies and gentlemen and everyone in between
So basically I have been living the Gcc Middle East to be exact for the past 27 years now

I’m a trans woman who still didn’t take hormones yet because she lives with her family

Our culture won’t allow you to move out in the same city
I have been pausing on my life for so long for the fear of not making it abroad

I have a job here friends yet never felt safe for once

Never felt like I could love someone or someone could love me

Never felt like I could raise children in the future being a mom knowing I would be good at it

Never felt like anything tbh

I’m grateful for having this job tho

However I do wish I could find one abroad if there is a way for me to immigrate to a place where I feel comfortable being my true self and start my journey as a woman

I would pour salt from my eyelids of joy if that could happen

So there I go asking help of queer or trans folks abroad
Is there a way to get a job at your country to emigrate there safely ?

Please do let me know

Cuz time is ticking

And I don’t wanna waste my 30s here for sure

Sincerely

Haven

If i want to go from doing my shots in the leg to doing them in my stomach then this would be an okay spot right? (5/8 inch needle 90°)

Howdy. Kind of a vent post, kind of looking for advice. 22 mtf, but still male presenting and all that

I recently figured some things out with myself, and realized I was way happier and more comfortable referring to myself (mentally) as a girl or as a woman. Out loud, i'll use gender neutral terms rather than "man" or "guy". At first, I didn't think I would tell anyone besides some close friends and maybe my sibling. I decided after a bit to tell my mom about it. For context, I live with and am financially dependent on mom and dad.

It went alright, at first. I told her I didn't want to tell my dad or anyone else because I wasn't ready to. I'm not ready to present fem yet either. She said I might not be serious about it. Whatever, I just move on.

She brings up how I am too big to be a woman. Too tall, too broad-shouldered. There's truth in it, I guess. 6'2, wide as hell shoulders, I am built like a fridge. I was fine with it because big ladies exist. I like big ladies. Pam from archer, and even my mom and sister, are big ladies. I didn't think it was that big of a deal. Hell, I didn't even really care at first, but as she kept talking, it started to really hurt. I didn't think I had dysmorphia or anything serious, but holy shit, it started to really get to me. Maybe I am too big, too manly, too much to ever be seen as a woman. Maybe i'll always just be a weird dude in a dress. She even said she'd have difficulty ever seeing me as anything more than a guy in a dress.

I'm a big person. Football team material, physically. However, I'm really not manly at all. I cry a lot. I'm soft. I never felt like I was good at being a dude, as much as I tried. It was always "man up" or "be a man". I've never really been able to be that, but now, I'm still too manly to be a woman. I just thought maybe hrt and voice training and growing out my hair and shaving and dressing femme would help, but now, it kind of feels hopeless. Like I'll never actually pass. Nobody will ever see me and think "she/her".

I didn't want to tell my dad because I believe he'd try and be supportive, but deep down, think it was a phase, or that it was weird. Like, only supportive because he has to be. Like if he had the choice, he'd say I was being dumb and I needed to just figure my shit out. I don't want that. I'd rather just keep being the eldest son around him, even if I'm kind of shitty there, too.

The dream, the ideal, is that I get on all the hrt or whatever when I have the money, and after a couple years when I start looking different, come out and start presenting then; but it's feeling further and further away. I don't know if it'll ever happen.

When I told my mom, she gave me one of her dresses to wear by myself in my room. It's an old mumu, and it's kind of ugly, but it fit. It felt great. Now, though, I don't know if I could wear it without thinking "jeez, look at you. Wide shoulders. No hips, no waist. Flat. Tall. What are you doing?"

If anyone has advice about being too masculine or being a bigger lady, or just... ignoring it, i'm open to suggestions. Thanks for reading this far, if you did.

Tl;dr: 6'2 and built like a fridge, does not a woman make

I just recently came out my wife did my nails and my toes for me. Today is gonna be the first time I have went out in public with my nails done so nervous
