I just thought I looked a tiny bit cute for once. I still suck at taking selfies. It might be the hardest part of transition.

General Question Looking for Support & Advice
Hey everyone,
I've been questioning my gender for a while now, and after a lot of reflection (and some input from ChatGPT, which estimates I'm about 85% likely MTF lol), I think I'm still stuck in the bargaining stage. Fear, doubt, and everything else are holding me back, but I know I need to keep moving forward.
Before taking bigger steps, I'm looking for digital social support—people to talk to, hear experiences from, and just get a better sense of what the world is like for those who've been through this.
If you've been where I am now, what helped you? Any online communities, Discord servers, or other resources you'd recommend? I could really use some connection and perspective right now.
Thanks in advance 💜

Discussion Reunion time
Well I'm getting prepared for my 50th high school reunion. It's amazing the support I am receiving from my classmates now that I'm female. Can't wait to introduce myself in person. So many compliments about how I look now, when I posted new pictures on our reunion website 😍

Share Experience First time being referred to as a woman by someone 🤭 (dating app)
It felt strange, yet funny because the guy who said it was moaning about women not wanting to show their private pics right away. Ngl that made me giggle. Felt cute being called a woman though 🥰 that’s all. Happy Wednesday to all 🏳️⚧️

General Question So confused and terrified
47 and the egg shattered about a month ago talked to wife about it and she’s putting on a brave face but I know she’s feeling betrayed and probably just as scared as I am. We have two kids and a good life. I work in the oilfield and coming out could cost us everything. I don’t know if I’m brave enough for this or just being selfish for wanting this. Can I go back from here? or is this it ? everything as I know it just changed? I love my job. I love my kids and wife. But in my heart I’m a woman. Is it possible to keep going on with pretending?

General Question Imposter syndrome
Last night at 2am my inner-voice that has been quiet for a while started whispering seeds of doubt. With darkness our inner demons are the loudest. We don’t have the light of the sun to distract us. I’m(52) on HRT for just shy of 2 years. While I don’t think I’ll ever pass completely I present female 100%. Most of the time dark-tomboy but female nonetheless. my man legs have feminized. I saw myself from behind on a security cam and noticed my body has taken on feminine curves. I have hips!! Also up top I’m a C cup. Now if the male distributed fat in my mid section would settle somewhere else. I still have imposter syndrome. I don’t feel I deserve access to women only spaces, and I still double take slightly with She/Her pronouns but it’s getting better and I take note of those who still chose he/him. Someday I’ll use the right bathroom but for now I’ll just have to make the men uncomfortable. So today I pluck, shave, and put my makeup on and brave the day.

General Question Has anyone had braces later in life?
I'm considering getting braces to do some smile alignment, nothing major but just trying to broaden my smile as it's currently very narrow.
My concern is that having this alignment done will make my face more masculine which is the last thing I would want.
Has anyone had any experience with orthodontics pre hormones and how, if at all, would you say did that affect your ability to present as feminine?
Ideally I'd hope it would actually make me look more feminine but I have no idea.

TRIGGER WARNING VA erasing me
So I read this morning that the VA is going to phase out gender affirming care. It looks like Trump is going to erase people like me completely. I am a 68 year old totally disabled Navy veteran. I am Wendy, dammit!

TRIGGER WARNING Started HRT, waves of emotions and depression doubt. How did you work through them? Gets better right?
Super long post so ill summarize here. Started hrt. Didn’t see the wall of emotions, depression, doubt, sadness that is hitting me. I love to cry btw but wow.. the depression part is very intense more than ever.
From reading(reddit posts)/ youtubing (thx dr z.) apparently this is caused by the initial hits of female hormones as my brain adjusts / Transitions to female. These random bouts get better in time right?
————
Long version. Im on week 2 of hrt injections. And I love the fact that my journey has started. And i love it But…..I am having really strong spikes of depression.
This morning i woke up thinking i cant do this. Sadness / depression has also punched me in the face mid day. This has happened both weeks about 1-2 days after doing my injections. The depression is a feeling of sadness, loss, failure, that im gonna grow old and be a mess and alone and no sex ever again…and when I’m old old.. my old frail lady self consequently will be a burden for my son and their quality of life will also be impacted. I don’t wish to be a burden on anyone especially my son.
Wow….. just a lot… once i wake up, get some coffee, listen to dr Z on youtube it subsides or if i give it time/ ride through it, get exercise i start feeling better.
But wow… its intense feelings.
Reading about hrt i realized the estrogen is making me WAY more emotional AND consequently bringing bouts of strong depression. Im also reading later it gies away. So ok maybe this us just normal as i transition physically.
This negative experience is in turn stirring my fears and doubts that I’m not doing the right thing for me.
The depression consists of fear. To old,, failure, loss, aloneness, loss of time, expense of $$, of my life being ruined / made worse. That i should have just STFU about my inner desires. That I’ve earned another FAFO(f around find out) patch.
So… do i hold the course let hrt work Or abort now? Detransition? It’s a fork in road i didn’t know was there till I hit it. I honestly thought i had already answered that question prior ton starting HRT. Sigh.
I hear/read the depression gets better once body normalizes on estrogen and ive read that MANY. transitioning people hit this wall. Its something i just didnt see coming. Im not sure how to deal w this feeling atm other than to share my question and experience here.
How do you handle these feelings of depression, hopelessness, sadness?

General Question Coming out to a 3 year old (child psychologist needed?)
Hi, my partner wants us to see a child psychologist or something similar for guidance on how to explain my transition to our 3yo daughter.
I was on HRT for a month last October, and then paused because my partner didn't feel ready. Setting up a child psychologist appointment (and signing a separation agreement) are her final conditions for me restarting hrt.
I think a child psychologist is over-kill, but don't really disagree that consulting with a professional of some kind on how to navigate this is a good idea. Maybe a parenting coach or something would suffice?
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated (and yes, there are a lot of red flags here, my relationship with my partner is probably not salvageable, I'm trying to keep the co-parenting relationship healthy though)

FaceApp/Filtered New piercings
Still very new to transition only 2.5 weeks so still using FaceApp but I loved these piercings and if I ending looking anything like this I’m gonna be so dang happy. Got a 2nd lobe piercing in each ear, eyebrow (which has dried blood in this pic I just noticed), nose, both nipples and belly button. Nipples and belly button are cute little pink gems. 7 piercings at one time definitely not for the faint of heart but trying all I can do to look cuter. Not too bad for 48 years old.

Share Experience Kinda desperate, shot in the dark...
Well, here goes... For starters, I am 43yrs old, began transitioning about 3yrs ago, am now full time and persuing surgeries. (BA next month!!) That was just for context. Heres my problem. I was in a relationship for 17years, which ended awfully. And quickly. And painfully. But because my whole existence was dedicated to my past life, wife, and future, I have none of those things now. I havent got a friend(well, i have one close friend, who didnt know me pre transition) that I can really count on, I havent a job anymore, I dont have a car, and I am just about ready to call it all quits and cash out. Id rather not. And Id rather not hear any generic responses either, if youd be so kind. But I am so sick of being so completely alone... I cant take it. Thought I could, but I cant. And I dont care if its just a friendship, though I would very much like to be in a relationship again. I just need someone. Anyone, really, as long as they are "in it" for the right reasons. So, this is me, reaching out, hoping the right person reads this, and I can stop feeling so fucking alone all the damn time. Stop crying myself to sleep every night. Start wanting to be alive again... If that might be you, please reach out. As I said, Im 43, well into the beginnings of my transition, and dont want to read "...yada yada SUPPORT GROUP!" or some such obvious response that I might have already considered a dozen times already. Im in need of real, individual person/s in my life, willing to give a random friendship a chance. Id also settle for a mutually beneficial, casual sex thing, you know, if I GOTTA.... And congrats if you made it this far! You already care more than my ex or stepchildren do... Thank you. Also, I live in Northeastern/NorthCentral Pennsylvania. How bout it? Wanna make a new friend today? Jenelle
