(Not sure if this is allowed here but need some help/support)
Update 2/ getting a blood test tomorrow which includes hormone testingā¦thank you for your comments and help :) Update/ just about to go for a GP appointment regarding āearly menopauseā. If anyone has any advice on what I can say to help my case Iād appreciate it. Thanks.
ETA- Iām in the UK. Anyone have any info or advice is welcomed. Edit 2- I just asked my GP about getting my hormones testedā¦waiting on their response e3- also my dad made a comment saying I look trans a couple yrs ago and heās not wrong tbh. Itās so hard not comparing myself to my sisters especially and other women in my family.
I donāt feel like a natural woman. Like the Portishead song āI just wanna be a womanāā¦
I just wanna feel like the the other women in my family and the gender I was assigned at birth but I just feel like the grinch. I literally feel like my body is all wrong and I canāt just āacceptā it and be grateful.
Mtf (in my case, masc to femme) I probably have hormonal imbalances or something. My life is awful. If yāall can take it at the ages you do, I feel like I should be allowed to at 23ā¦
Euthanasia is on the cards atpā¦I just wanna stop feeling worthless
Yep. If not him itāll be some other guy in a few yearsā¦. I donāt want men to have power over me like this. Like I need to be different to be worth something. But he just awakens dormant feelings.
I appreciate you comment.
Iām definitely not goals for any of you but thanks.
Not on hormonal birth control but finding out itās basically a higher dose of HRT, Iām considering it. I am fat but not in the feminine way and I feel like hrt could fix that. Redistributionā¦ Seeing how itās changed people (mtf), I feel like it could really help. My somatic issue.
Edit to addā¦a lot of you have features I wish I had (regardless of hormones or surgery)
You have no idea where we are at, so donāt discount that you may be goals. If youāve been called maam or lady for more than 1/100 interactions, you are already goals for me. Not everyone here looks like the transwomen to see posting.
Even if sheās goals for many of the girls here, gender affirming care should be available to anyone who wants it. cis or trans. Increased weight, masculine traits, depression would all be possible indicators of some sort of endocrine problem. But, itās impossible to tell over the internet. So getting estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and also thyroid hormones tested would be my first step.
she shouldnāt have any trouble getting access to that care because sheās cis - youāre right, she should just go to the doctor, get hormones checked, and go from there
I think at this point itās irresponsible to indicate she should source DIY hormones and start taking them.
I wasnāt suggesting that she go DIY without knowing what (if anything) the problem is.
Sure, but now that youāve mentioned DIY sheās jumping straight to that; I think we need to be more careful about when and how we bring up DIY hormones.
+1 to this, I used to have such intense distress and felt that even just being mistaken for a woman is all I want - being a pretty woman wasnāt even on the radar, just even been seen as a woman instead of male was āgoalsā for me
