so why didn't you start hrt as a teenager?

>>40584869 (OP)
I did but got caught and sent to the ward at age 16.

i was convinced i was “just a kinda weird cis guy”

>>40584869 (OP)
i didn't know transitioning was a thing i could do

>>40584869 (OP)
I had no idea it was a thing when I was 16

Now I'm 32 and I am still questioning

I didn't hate my penis

>>40584869 (OP)
Got sent down an alt right pipeline cause i was retarded + none of the adults around me could actually explain the topic to me.

>>40584869 (OP)
i did

>>40584869 (OP)
i did, at 19. but i feel like that lowkey doesnt count.
i didnt do it earlier because i was scared of my mom finding out and also i thought it would be too expensive. dumbass.

>>40584869 (OP)
incapable of diy, got dx as trans at 16, was told that i had to wait until adulthood to transition
thank god i had a weak puberty

>>40585980
hiii gloves weve never talked but i like u
i had a strong puberty :< its over its over its over

>>40584869 (OP)
I thought transitioning would just be a fad.
I thought over time I would just get over it.
I thought HRT could potentially be dangerous.
I thought I couldnt handle how differently people would see me.

>>40584869 (OP)
i did, around my 17th birthday. i didn't get to start at 16 because the medical establishment makes trans kids beg for tablescraps because detransitioners have 1000x the worth and value of tranneis

>>40584869 (OP)
i did but i could've started much earlier if i knew about diy at 16, had to be a midshit instead :/

>>40584916
SAME until my friend asked me and came out to me

>>40584878
SAME LITERALLY SAME!

and when i got out i was not functional at all so took years to retransition.

>>40584869 (OP)
>started diy at 16
>twinkhon at 18
Please just kill me.

>>40584869 (OP)
My puberty was pretty weak and I wasn't mentally ready to commit to HRT, I'm still not (though I have everything on hand and have experimented with taking it for short periods).
Right now I'm on dutasteride.

>>40584869 (OP)
>so why didn't you start trying to get a trans gf as a teenager?

>>40584869 (OP)
midshit who started at 17, i tried telling anyone who would listen i was trans starting at 10 but no one took me seriously till i tried to kill myself

>>40584869 (OP)
I thought that doing HRT was insane. Then I turned 25.

>>40584869 (OP)
I did at 16, but my puberty was finished so it was too late.

I would've started earlier if I knew what trans people were earlier or you didn't need to jump through a million hoops to transition as a kid.
But alas

>>40584869 (OP)
I was too busy doing hard drugs

>>40584869 (OP)
I considered DIY at 16. What scared me away was that I was really fat at the time, BMI of 42, and had heard "hrt causes blood clots". So I spent the next 2 years losing weight on and off until the pandemic. Then I started getting high all the time and all of a sudden I'm 22 and a repper. Got scared into finally starting after noticing the start of baldness. Even though I'm a late shit hon hrt saved my beautiful long curls so still worth

>>40586574
this the answer

>>40585990
thanks anon, i'm so sorry to hear you went through that though

>>40586634
>BMI of 42
Holy shit.
>hrt causes blood clots
Injections and transdermal HRT are low risk in that regard. It's AAs and oral E that really jack up the blood clotting risk.

>>40586749
it did tremendously stunt my puberty so...

>>40586877
Not surprising. Narcotics fuck with the HPG axis.

>>40584869 (OP)
shammed by my mother into repression and didn't know about diy
>t manmoder

Because I like my natural born body and accept reality for what it is

>>40586989
what's it like

>>40584869 (OP)
Thought all guys wanted to be girls and basicly dodnt know hrt actually did anything thought it was just cope.

>>40584869 (OP)
i did, still too late though
>t. started at 15 (lateshit)

>>40587000
I honestly don't think about gender... like ever. I just do what I want. Like I have very long hair, not afraid to dress femininely sometimes. But I'm so happy I have a penis and don't have breasts. Being male is awesome imo

>>40587003
LITERALLY SAME

>>40587033
that's pretty based

>>40587036
;_; im sorry nony it's a cruel world

>>40584869 (OP)
thought you had to be a 100% gay flamer to even consider transitioning, didn't know hrt existed, thought trannies were nothing more than naturally effeminate fags who got surgery and wore makeup

you know what came to mind for the vast majority of people (and still does really) when they thought of trannies before like 2018? prostitutes, degenerate crossdressers and sissies, and drag queens, not hunter schafer

>>40587087
oh hey i transitioned in 2018. that also happened to be the year i learned what dysphoria actually was. before that i thought i had to have tried to diy orchi to be trans

>>40587087
trueee

So the vibe i am getting is:di,y and the sooner-the better?

>>40588082
start now, start now, start now

don’t waste a second don’t even doubt it if you are mtf just start right now

>>40588082
yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

>>40588082
how old?

>>40588082
>So the vibe i am getting is:di,y and the sooner-the better?
I am a cis man but this is obviously a "yes"

I am extremely anti-trans people in sports and pro-DIY HRT for minors so that the latter can make me stop being the former

>>40584869 (OP)
didn't know about it, when i was a teenager i tried to rep and be like zyzz lmaoo

>>40584869 (OP)
it was the 90s, even super liberal california was just getting used to the whole gay thing
I didnt understand my options
I didnt understand my condition
I didnt want to get bullied even harder
I didnt have the money for girls' clothes
I didnt have a home environment conducive to true self-expression
as supportive as she's allegedly always been, when watching a documentary on transsexual people my mother said the worst thing she could have said: "look at all that plastic surgery". She called the transwoman on screen plastic. Fake. She called what I wanted to be plastic and fake. She was probably just saying it to be a bitch but holy fuck, that's the sort of poisonous thought that sticks with you for years if not decades

>>40584869 (OP)
tst

>>40584869 (OP)
I did, took my ass to planned parenthood as soon as I turned 18, not knowing about diy kept me from starting earlier though, I thought you needed RLE to have a chance of getting on hrt because that's what google told me when I was 15

>>40584869 (OP)
i came out at 15, parents put me back in the closet. started DIYing at the tail end at 17. i feel this is pretty solid midshit territory

>>40589160
learned about diy tail end of 16 but the one friend I did come out to was lowkey transphobic so i couldnt get it in the mail by getting someone else to pick it up. eventually i made friends with some discord tranny adult 10 years my age in the same city and she dropped it off. my goat
