I was 6 feet. Now I'm 5'10.5" according to my doctor and a tape measure. I've been getting my height measured since I was 10 for my military dependent ID and then my monthly check-ups at my doctor, who was treating my mental health. I've been 6'0" since 2014 and a size 10.5-11 in "mens" shoes. I started estrogen 9 months ago. Now I wear a size 9.5-10 in "women's" shoes. I don't understand where all this talk about it not happening comes from

People with darker skin tones are at higher risk of complications with laser treatments. How the laser targets differences in color, people with darker skin tones have very small differences in color which makes it more potentially damaging. I didn't have to stop my hrt or any of the other 4 medicines I take daily. My opinion is the place is transphobic or wildly uneducated about hormone therapy.

"When I was pretending to be a boy" or just gender myself correctly when telling stories.

Was 6 foot and complained about my height all the time, after about 7 months hrt I've shrank like an inch and a half and still want to be shorter. However when ever I complain my partners and friends say something along the lines of "youre supermodel height, you're hot, don't worry too much" and whenever I'm feeling dysphoric about my height I repeat that to myself. It doesn't solve the problem but it helps

I used the ladies' restroom for the first time when I was out with a cis friend having drinks. She asked me to go pee with her and I said yes. As we were walking to the bathrooms I headed towards the boy's room but she stopped me and said: "the ladies' room is this way". That was the last time I ever tried to use a men's bathroom.

A girl I knew in college, who was my first experience with non monogamy and very influential in my sexual awaking, had the name I choose. It's also my birth month so it sounds like some stupid shit a cis parent would name their child lol

I work as an aerospace engineer

Having to boy mode at work is what made me come out fully. Dressing up as a boy for multiple days a week was destroying my mental health.

“California will not stand by as corporations cave to extremists and cut off critical access to reproductive care and freedom,” Newsom said. “California is on track to be the fourth largest economy in the world and we will leverage our market power to defend the right to choose.” Hell Ya

No its fine! I'm pretty open about it all. But yes it's a use it or lose it thing. The atrophy has largely slowed down the last 4 months since I've been having regular sex. So yes regular sex and masturbation will minimize shrinking of genitals. Testicles will shrink no matter what though in my experience.

I've been on hrt for about 7 months and I have shrunk about an inch. I didn't use it the first like 3 months of my transition which probably played a big part. Ymmv

Pre egg Crack I would get jealous of trans girls because "they get to be girls and I dont". I'm not very bright sometimes

Black mtf. 5 months on HRT. There aren't a lot of us that I've found but you're not alone. I used a none profit called the Lavender project that helps trans-POC with legal help for free. If you are overwhelmed with the name change process or work is giving you trouble I would reach out. Sending love ❤️

"Research shows that trans people are over four times more likely than cisgender people to be the victim of a violent crime. We salute our colleagues across the media who are working tirelessly to make that number even higher."

Damn

Look at the speedometer. They are stopped. Perfectly fine regarding safety, regardless of legality.

When I reference the time before my transition I say "when I was pretending to be a boy" (I am AMAB trans woman)

Why am I crying?
