Are there any transitioned trans people that would want to help me out? I still have pretty much no idea what transitioning entails so drop me a message on here or Discord if you can provide that information for me.
I just realized I have to stay up until 1:00 AM on New Year's Eve if I really want to wish my boyfriend happy new year and tell him I love him as the first thing I say to him in the new decade.
Turns out my mom just doesn't know what the trans flag is. She called me brave for wearing a heart on my hoodie but thankfully she doesn't know what it is.
Basically a transition has two elements to it: social and medical
A social transition means changing social elements of your life to conform to your social gender identity. This may include, but is not limited to, changing your name, changing your official gender, presenting as (in your case) a girl (through hairstyles, clothing, and makeup for instance), asking people to use your preferred name and pronouns, maybe toilets/changing rooms too if you wish.
A medical transition means altering your body using hormones and/or surgery to conform to your bodily sex identity. For MTFs the main parts of this would be antiandrogens, estrogens, bottom surgery, some also elect for breast augmentation surgery, facial feminisation surgery, chondrolaryngoplasty, and voice feminisation sugery. A lot of this stuff can be quite difficult or expensive or irreversible so I'd take things slowly unless you're absolutely sure of what you want. I don't know how old you are or how far your body has gone down male puberty yet but if you have not yet finished male puberty you may wish to consider taking puberty blockers to pause/prevent future effects of male puberty if you feel you may wish to start HRT later. This decision is very much a personal one, for some transitioning medically may be essentially mandatory, for others they are perfectly able to live happy lives with only a social transition.
Any questions just ask
