Decided that I rather be visibly trans than hide my fem looks at home. However, I kinda hate standing out among others, which is already impossible not to do when Im 2 meters tall, even more so when I dont pass and likely never will.

Any tips on gaining the confidence to continue, and getting into the mindset of not caring what others think? My local area is not that dangerous, but also not 100% friendly, which makes me over think this a lot.

Where does "it used to work, but now it doesn't, and I don't understand how it could ever have worked" fit in?

Started by going through the official system, went diy after they went from treating me bad to horrible. And it honestly gave me a lot of confidence to not feel like I depend on those assholes anymore, even if I go back later. It still broke me a bit that I no longer trust doctors.

Maybe you can get a new assessment with a different doctor, if you still want that?

I (mtf) bought a couple of summer dresses online which is a huge step because I haven't allowed myself this kind of femininity yet, and now that they arrived I feel awesome instead of shameful!

Now I just need to figure out if I actually like them and how well they fit, I'm kinda funny sized in a way most fem clothes are not intended...

I thought r/suddenly_trans was a odd funny subreddit, and one day someone linked to egg_irl in the comments and guess that's how I finally understood what being trans could mean - that was a very long weekend with a lot of thinking about all the signs that I didn't see :D

I feel like I should have found other trans people to talk with irl earlier. I don't think I was fully ready until recently tho.

Being tall and interested in hobbies that are usually dominated by men.

Gendering hobbies and interests is silly, but I can't help doing it sometimes...

egg_irl broke me after reading 4 posts :D

Username doesn't check out?

Og hvor det før kun var halvdelen, som lyttede videre til andet indhold i DR LYD, er det i dag tre af fire, som kommer bredere rundt i vores omfangsrige public service-katalog.

Er der en måde at få drlyd til at lade være med at spille random episoder efter at man er færdig med det men selv satte på? Er en af de ting som gør mig mest irriteret når jeg bruger deres app...

I think what has worked best for me was getting to know some of the things to do that makes the voice more feminine, and then spend a lot of time doing the things while recording myself so I can immediately hear if I did it right and what happens if I combine them.

It kinda sucks that it requires actually listening to the voice tho 🥲

I don't think I've seen any "ask transgender" style places on fedi, but this this page is a good starting point https://transequality.org/issues/resources/supporting-the-transgender-people-in-your-life-a-guide-to-being-a-good-ally
