i'm 18 and i'm too manly to ever be a real woman

my parents are making me see a therapist to try cure my gender dysphoria, but will it work or should i just give up?

>>41620276 (OP)
no its almost certainly not gonna go away

>>41620276 (OP)
take your HRT, retard

>>41620346
what should i do in that case then?

it's not dude I'm 22 I'm so fucked. I tried le ACCEPTING MYSELF with a bunch of psychotherapy and it never worked for me. genuinely dunno what to do

>>41620396
yeah, i legitimately don't know what to do if this can't be cured :(

>>41620276 (OP)
>>41620396
Hrtrep

>>41620423
but i'm too manly, i'll never actually be a woman

>>41620423
no I'm a brickhon 6'1. never
>>41620421
idk people always say le accept yourself but they never had dysphoria and other shit

>>41620396
>>41620421

Try accepting yourself harder you retarded fucking faggot. Just put on girls clothes its no big deal

>>41620380
you should give yourself space to explore yourself. buy the clothes you wish you could wear. try to talk the way you want to sound. shit like that. when you never do that, its easy to fixate on the shit about yourself you hate and feel like itll never get better. but once you start actually trying to be yourself you might develop some confidence and security

>>41620467
???

>>41620476
i don't want to look like a man dressed as a woman, i want to actually be a woman

>>41620276 (OP)
you should see the therapist and see what it does for you, there is a good chance you wont masculinize much more than you already have for at least the next few years. if that doesnt work, im afraid hrt or death are your only options op...

>>41620508
cool, thanks :(

>>41620276 (OP)
take E NOW, u arent too manly that's propaganda ur just wasting time getting masculinized and gonna end up a hon for wasting time

>>41620519
i'm literally 5'11 with broad shoulders, i can't be a woman

>>41620484
idk i felt the same way for years and never did anything for myself until i started hrt at 24. I'm just trying to tell you what I wish I could go back and do at your age, because trying to push it all down cause I felt too ugly was one of the worst mistakes of my life

>>41620534
how are you now?

>>41620554
pretty happy. weight loss, laser, exercise, skin care and hair care have helped a lot with things I used to think doomed me to being a man forever. I think I needed the hormones to get myself to a mental place where that self care was possible, but thats not true for everyone. I dont pass at all and wear kinda masc/neutral womens clothing, Im working on the voice and like it, I have friends who call me by my name. There's shit about my body that hurts to look at and always will, especially my ribcage and shoulders, but ultimately I'm a million times happier looking in the mirror now than I was when I told myself being a man was my only option.

>exercise, skin care and hair care
How do I start with that shit? are there any recourses u got that helped you to start it from scratch

>>41620647
>skincare
picrel is rlly basic helpful guide for skin care that helped me. you dont need all this, right now I just use cleaner, toner, and moisturizer in the morning and cleaner, serum and sometimes exfoliant at night. and sunscreen, daily. mineral sunscreen's a bit better for you. look up oily vs dry skin and then just get cheap stuff thats right for your skin to start
>haircare
I have curly hair so I use shampoo and conditioner for curly hair, curl cream and leave in conditioner after showering, and deep conditioner twice per week. idk about other hair types, sorry.
>exercise
bulgarian split squats and clamshells are my main ass workouts and you dont need amy equipment for them. they say core exercises can help with flared ribs so i do planks, idrk if its working.

dysphoria is uncurable and progressively gets worse. you could try to (hrt)rep, see how well that works out for you.

>>41620736
would death also be a better option? /s

>>41620725
thanks a lot

>>41620750
np, good luck :3

>>41620746
better option? maybe. but it's also the most boring and easy way out. death inevitably catches us all, don't chase it. live your miserable life. write about it or something.
thats just how i see it though. do what you want. best thing life will ever give you is free will.

>>41620276 (OP)
fellow repper here, if it works or not depends on if youre willing to work together with the therapist and if you're serious about getting rid of your gd methinks. when are you seeing them? would be interested in your results, thinking of going the same route.

>>41620276 (OP)
get as many surgeries, especially FFS, as possible

for tranners who are 6 foot or over, how much do you get clocked IRL?

>>41620446
>>41620458
That's why it's called hrt repping, the estrogen will just make you feel better about your dysphoria but without needing to look feminine or come out, just keep manmoding
I've been doing that for a year and I got myself a tranny girlfriend, it's worth it repbros

>>41623565
I’m 6ft3 and girlmode and have only been gendered female 4 or 5 times, it’s not because of my height though. Tall women exist.

>>41620380
There's a good chance you won't ever pass, but if you ever consider the medical route consider if manmoding or honmoding would be enough to keep you happy. If not, well run screaming from trans stuff as far as you can.

Your 18 though, most likely you have a shot (most people genuinly do, even baldies can wear wigs, truely cooked he-men are rarer)

>>41623612
Personally, I am very early on so I sure as shit don't pass but I just wear girl clothes in private and look like a feminine male in public, maybe I will pass someday, maybe not, but 40% of the way there is a lot better than 0!
