>>42573436why wouldn't you just wish that you could have been born cisf instead
i much prefer my body now, post hormones than prior to hormones
>>42573436yeah it's not hrt fault you're stupid anon, maybe you should have wished u used ur brain
>>42573436same desu, learning about the possibility of transitioning altered the course of my life completely and to this day I can't figure out how 13 year old me determined he was a tranny short of demonic possession, even though I'm pretty sure I have actual dysphoria. I could've just been a normal man, and I was okay at it until I started spending all my time on this board and the dysphoria got too bad.
>>42573463Cuz I'm fake trans and my relation to a female identity is brought on by my spite of being a male. I blame my mother >>42573487I agree, unfortunately >>42573496I did for years and then just said frick it>>42573522I'm sure a lot of it is Fomo and idealizing something until it wins. Never expected to be a victim of it myself
>>42573436>i wish i had fewer choices so i couldn't make the wrong ones.lol
>>42573670>Cuz I'm fake transsounds more like a you issue tbhon
>>42573670>I'm fake transNot any of the anons you're replying to.What does that even mean? And, honestly, who the hell cares?This excessive fetishization (both positive and negative) of HRT has got to stop already. It's a chemical compound that hacks your endocrine system. You either like its results or you don't. That's it. There's nothing "true" or "fake" in taking it.>my relation to a female identity is brought on by my spite of being a maleAnd?Why do you impose on yourself so many pseudo rules and restraints? You are your own worst enemy.>I agree, unfortunatelySo if you do like the results, then what exactly is the problem? Keep taking it and... that's it. Enjoy life.There is no "rule" that says you have to have a "female identity"(wtf is that anyway?) or that you can't live as an estrogenized dude or express yourself however you deem fit. Again, stop sabotaging yourself.Iwnbaw but goddamn it shooting up estrogen was a good decision. Yeah, the hrtits are mildly annoying but I like how I process emotions and the rest of the physical changes are top-tier and get heads turned on the street.>fomoWhat you're missing out is living your life being hung up on these things.
>>42573436What mental illnesses do you have? You seem like you got something reeeal bad.
>>42573789ugh thanks for your reply. I agree I am my own worst enemy and I get hung up on the consequences of decisions I've already made.>This excessive fetishization (both positive and negative) of HRT has got to stop already. It's a chemical compound that hacks your endocrine system. You either like its results or you don't. That's it. There's nothing "true" or "fake" in taking it.I guess I'm just looking for some validation for my decisions. I think most people here are when they are trying to determine if they should transition or not. And if I'm not trying to validate it, then I feel like I'm just an excessively vain person who would rather sacrifice a lot of time, money and health on how I present myself. >>42573832I wish I knew
>>42573891>I guess I'm just looking for some validation for my decisionsAnon, with respect, gain some internal locus control. The first step is to remember that you are the final arbiter. Nobody has any right to override your decisions. They can judge, but it's ultimately a them problem.Do you like the effects of a 100 years old treatment (yes, that's how old hrt is)? If yes, keep doing it. If no, stop.That's literally it. Everything else is bamboozling noise.Your decisions concerning your own body are valid by virtue of you making them. And changing your mind is also valid because it's your body and thus your business how you fuck around with it.>I feel like I'm just an excessively vain person who would rather sacrifice a lot of time, money and health on how I present myselfAnd? There's nothing wrong with being vain either. MOST PEOPLE ARE. And especially most women, lol. They just mask it better.I do put a lot of time in my appearance. I like being an elegant hrtwink that triggers envy in both men and women. Especially in the people who know me and they know I'm older than I look and they know I'm bullshiting them when I say that it's all "just take good care of yourself bro".Does not make me vain? Yes, probably. And? Who the hell cares. Life's too short for that.You should live more rather than wonder and procrastinate that much. Most people don't give a shit anyway.
>>42573891>I feel like I'm just an excessively vain person who would rather sacrifice a lot of time, money and health on how I present myself.I am literally that and I say go for it. I consider myself a man down to the bone, but you're saying there's this funny little hormone that can prolong my boyish looks by a decade, maybe more? Fuck yeah I'm hopping on.Just donate sperm to a bank so you have a backup in case you go sterile.
>>42573436You can never "learn" to be a male, I tried hard, I studied men and it only backfired by developing crushws on them.
>>42573436if you were born before HRT existed there's a significant chance that you would have still eunuchmaxxed or just lived a short miserable life
>>42573891afaik the whole validation business is a trap of outward projection, stop giving a fuck and take the hormones if you like or not.. your decision. i enjoy the results.. obviously my "social options" have become more limited, but they pretty much were fucked before so why care
