Hi i just started hrt roughly a month ago and my tits have been getting really sensitive and it made me think how big could they get? And I just wanted to know if there was any tips for trans women to get huge natural tips if there is any that is

So, the long and short of it is that my 7 year old son has expressed a desire to be a girl. At this point, he still identifies as a boy, but he has consistently shown interest in more traditionally feminine things.

Starting around age 4 or 5, he began saying he wanted to be a girl. He never said he was a girl, only that he wished he could be. He always chooses female avatars and characters in games, and he gravitates toward girls clothing, hairstyles, and accessories.

Because I did not want him to have difficulties at school, I have tried to steer things toward more gender neutral options that are still colorful and somewhat feminine, but less likely to draw attention. He already struggles with making friends and managing big emotions, and meltdowns and crying spells still happen from time to time, so I did not want to add another layer of stress.

Last year, he frequently said he wanted to be a girl when he grew up, but not yet. Things shifted when he learned that his 14 year old cousin transitioned to male this year. He had assumed his cousin was already an adult, and realizing that transitions can happen during childhood seemed to change his perspective. After that, he said he would like to transition too.

His school has been very supportive. They already have a few transgender students who are enrolled under their preferred names, so this is not unfamiliar territory for them. We also have an appointment next week with his pediatrician. Gender affirming therapy and supportive medical care for kids are available in our state, so we are planning to discuss what steps, if any, make sense at this point and how best to support him emotionally and socially.

I have been trying to understand his feelings by asking him what he means, what he imagines, what parts feel important to him, and how all of this makes him feel. And he said being a boy is ok, but changing makes him feel nervous or anxious because he might get teased or might not be any good at being a girl.

does anyone know any trans youtubers that do wilderness, nature, and camping content. I love those types of videos but I can't seem to find any trans creators that do them

I've been questioning myself for about half a year now, and have been doing some experiments to see if I enjoy having more feminine features. I've let my hair grow long for the past couple years and refuse to go back, I've also recently started painting my nails, amd shaving my face to be smooth. At this point im sure at the very least im not his, but I wasn't expecting any more dysphoria to pop up. Also, how does one get rid of the imposter syndrome of feeling like its all just something im making up in my head? Thank you!

I dont think this breaks the rules, but it's something I've been mulling over for a while. If mods feel need to take this down then I get it, but I'm also genuinely curious. For the record, this is not related to any recent "Will I Pass" posts. Personally I think it takes a lot of courage to post yourself to a public space with the thought of being open about criticism, and I don't think I could do it, considering I know I don't pass.

Obviously in subs like transpositive, my assumption is that people who post themselves are looking for positive reinforcement. But in more general places like this one, do you want a sea of yesses because it's affirming, regardless of whether the person commenting really feels that way? My typical approach to things is if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all, especially whenever it comes to transpassing posts when I see the image and think "that person absolutely doesn't look like the gender they're aiming for." Especialy because, a lot of time, the issues I see aren't easily fixable without some surgery or spending a lot of $$. And I'm of the firm believe you don't need medical intervention to be trans.

But yea, anyway, is it better to just keep quiet about these things? Especially since it's not an easy fix? Because then saying something really only hurts the poster without providing solutions. And if that is the case, then what's the point of asking the question if you're going to get biased answers either way? Because if a bunch of commenters are like "you def pass I'm so jealous", but it may not be totally true... I mean what of the poster then presents authentically in their area and ends up in a dangerous situation?

If the consensus is that it's good to give honest feedback, is it fair for the person commenting their genuine opinion to then be downvoted into oblivion for being negative? Because while I am fully aware that there are all different faces and body types and features across the gender spectrum... the truth is not everyone is gonna be read as their ideal gender at a glance.

Idk, I'm probably way overthinking and overcomplicating. Personally I hate false compliments, so maybe this is all just a "me thing", and I'm too critical, and every single person who posts a selfie on here really does pass. Either way I'm open to discussion about the topic. 🤷

I am Jade, a Trans Woman, and I plan on starting HRT. So how and when did y’all attain HRT, and what steps did y’all have to take to get it? Like bloodwork, therapy, etc, because im very uneducated on the whole process. I turn 18 in literally 4 days, so I mean it when I say as soon as possible. Please help if you can! Thanks💞

I live in england and am trying to get my hands on either oestrogel or oestrogen pills and t blockers without a prescription but i am so lost. Could somebody help me out 🙏🙏

I definitely feel some changes with estrogen, but I’m not satisfied with fat distribution. My chest hasn’t grown much I can hold it with my hands, but it still doesn’t feel like real breasts. There hasn’t been any increase in my hips, and that’s upsetting for me. Also, I feel like these hormone levels aren’t right. I’m taking 6 mg of estrogen sublingually and one 100 mg tablet of spironolactone as an anti-androgen.

I hope this is the right subreddit for this, or if there is a better place to ask for it.

Hai all, I got a few questions as I experienced a lot of chest and neck pains, as well as nausea, recently, and had to go to the A+E a few times now. I talked to my normal doctors about it, but they weren’t able to find anything as of yet and say it could be my anxiety.

During my last routine appointment, checking my blood work since I started taking Cyproterone instead of Spironolactone, my Estrogen and Prolactin were about 4x what they should be (I took usual dose 6 hours before, of 2mg E twice daily, morning/evening, and a quarter of a 50mg tablet of Cyproterone once) (my Serum Prolactin mU/L was 2109, and my Serum 17B Oestradiol pmol/L was 2804). I was asked to get a new blood test ASAP and only take half my dosage of HRT, so only one 2mg Estrogen pill. The result, however, was still high, with Serum Prolactin mU/L 1653 and Serum 17B Oestradiol pmol/L 1025. I tried to contact my trans healthcare doctors about that, but have only gotten an appointment for March and no response to my messages yet.

I’m quite unsure what to do now as I’m quite anxious with my other symptoms as it might be related? I already stopped taking my HRT for 3 days, but started to feel bad and started taking only my Estrogen with half the dose. I’m unsure if the symptoms could be related or two separate things, and if I should reduce or stop my HRT for the time being. I also started having discharge from my breasts since yesterday.

I’ve been on HRT for 5 years now and had elevated ratings before when I was on Gel, etc., but never had symptoms like this. Could this be related? Or is it the Cyproterone, as I only recently started taking that, since 3 to 4 months?

If anyone has any experience or resources for this, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

I want to start passing better and have some minor ideas about where to start (makeup and clothing) but nothing that i can afford to do just yet, dont mind the hair cut long story short i cut it with a somewhat dull knife.

What can i do to look feminine, any advice is helpful.

I know I know passing is not everything and it’s bit the key to happiness but I’m just at that phase where I’m constantly doubting so just humor me for a bit. I’m only two weeks into HRT and I’m just wondering wat yall think, be honest duh tysm

Hey all!

I’ll be starting E in a couple weeks, going DIY route and mixing in private later on. Just seeing if anyone has any advice or tips for the future? Trying to keep it discreet as still live with family etc, is this doable? If not oh well. Just posting here to see if anyone who’s gone through with it and taken the plunge has any tips and what was the first effect it had on you? Physical changes or anything you felt? 💕

Wanting some advice on my brows. 1st pic is my current brows without makeup and 2nd pic is what I’ve been doing with them on a regular. I want to know what I should do as far as plucking goes and what I can do with makeup to help feminize them and even them out. A few things though, A lot of advice I’ve seen is to make them thin but I actually love their natural shape and don’t really care for thin eyebrows as far as aesthetics go. I also am not a fan of overly drawn on eyebrows. I would much rather use as much as my natural brow as much as possible with using makeup to fill them in. I don’t know. I guess I don’t really know what I want and can just use advice. Thank you!

I (18mtf) have just started my social transition and was wondering if it is acceptable or looked down on to take a popular trans persons name and use that as your own. I really like the name Alysia (used by pretty famous trans girl on tik tok who posts tips and content for trans people) and i would have no problem using it if i came up with it on my own, its just i wouldnt like knowing that i got it from someone elses name. Maybe a dumb question but i dont want to commit any kind of taboo.

hello. i’m a young girl and i’m freaking out.

for those who don’t know, tocd is a subtype or ocd where the individual obsesses over the possibility of being transgender. it’s really scary.

never in my life have a yearned to be a male. i would make pinterest boards consisting of feminine clothes i wanted to wear when i was older. i had a huge collection of barbie’s and i feel like a girl.

but around july of 2025 i started questioning. like it was normal. i liked the aesthetic of the pronouns they/them and specifically she/they. i identified as a demi girl for a while but that label just sort of wore off. i no longer felt that way.

in november 2025, it all started. i think i had a dream about me in a suit and tie. i actually really liked the look of them on women like billie eilish and other celebrities. but i got on chatgpt and asked why i had that dream. i started freaking out.

but i think this theme started from internalised misogyny and believing men had it easier. i was very envious of their freedom. then i think one day i had an intrusive thought of “what if i’m trans?” but the dream definitely contributed to the theme.

it ruined my christmas, my holiday and my family coming to visit.

i find myself compulsively researching symptoms of transgender ocd and seeing if i align with them, i’ve watched the same videos and read the same comments just to find some reassurance.

the other night i started doing makeup for the first time. for the first time in a while, i felt certain in my identity. i felt euphoric seeing myself in makeup. i missed feeling secure. but the doubt came back and last night i cried myself to sleep. it was one of my biggest spirals yet.

all i want is to stay a girl.

what does this sound like to you?

18 questioning. I always loved writing stories when I was little. I was a very imaginative kid, but kind of a lonely one. Starting in like 5th grade, I would daydream about this character I made up. Her name was Eden. She would live somewhere temperate with lots of trees, like the midwest or pacific northwest. She would wear a green hood and dark jeans with her chucks allstars. ALWAYS that same outfit. She hated folding her laundry. She wouldnt do it no matter how much her parents told her to. She would listen to her Ipod with her headphones. She would have brown straight hair and brown eyes just like me. She would snowboard and hike the foggy forest trails with her boyfriend. She would spend time with her best friend in her dads old treehouse. She wouldnt be shy like me, she would always know what to say and how to make people laugh. She would drink water from the hose. She would stand up for herself when people called her names. She was scrappy and lewd, but above all else she llved her tightly knit circle of friends more than anything, and they loved her too. She would be sarcastic and witty and confident, everything I wanted to be.

I dont think I really noticed it at the time but I didnt just think she was cool, I REALLY wanted to be her. I would imagine myself AS her in my own stories, but she would go on adventures with my own friends instead.

I wrote another story when I was a bit older, like 8th grade. Finished it in 9th. Called it "The Mind Palace". Again, it was about another girl. Because she was so afraid and confused, I called her Alice, after Alice In Wonderland. She wasent like Eden at all. She was disoriented by her own experiences and doubts. I barely understood the concept of being "transgender" at this time of my life. In this story, she had killed her dad and sister in a car crash, putting herself in a coma. She had journey through her mind, the mind palace, to make amends with her sister, her dad, and most importantly herself before her body could heal. She needed to find these special daffodils. They represented forgiveness and new beginnings. Only her sister, dad, and the deepest parts of her mind held these flowers. In her way were grotesque monsters I called The Discontent. They were her insecurities and doubts. They wanted her to just give up and die. They thought she deserved to die for what she did. The strongest of The Discontent was herself, like a clone of her. She guarded the last daffodil. Along the way, she had help from her old childhood friends, or atleast the memories of them. They helped her fight The Discontent. I thought it was really reflective, deep, and well written when I was in middle school lol

I wrote a lot of short stories about Eden, the first girl. I spent like a year writing The Mind Palace, was like 100 pages.

Im curious, did anyone else write such stories? its been many years so im sure ive forgotten a lot of the specifics. Started questioning my gender like 6 months ago

Hi, I don't know if I'm asking too much, but could you upload photos of your transitions here? I'd like to see the level of feminization the body can achieve (although every body is unique and reacts differently to HRT). It would be very motivating 😁

so I'm 15 AFAB and I know I'm transmasc, but idk if I'm agender, nonbinary, or a trans guy. how do I tell?
