so, bestie, why didnt you start hrt as a teenager?
>>45109200Didn't even know it existed. If I had known, basically no one in this country gets hrt as a minor anyway
>>45109200agp
>>45109200i technically did and i still became a manmoder.
>>45109200Im faketrans agp mef pervert fetishist man detransitionerBut I didn’t know you can transition, I thought it was just a hentai/fanart thing
>>45109200No reliable income + parents would notice eventually
>>45109200I did :)
>>45109200I did, at 17, still too late
>>45109200Do 18 count ? Didn't know how to get crypto as a minor and my parents were idiots but somewhat supportive so I ended up doing diy when I turned 18It was too late
>>45109200I will never in my life get over the tragedy of not trying to move heaven and earth to get my HRT back.I realized I was trans at 14, and started transitioning earnestly but still in private with 15. I got on discord and lurked on 4chan since then and I even started diy hormones while living in Germany at 16. It was a dose of 4mg and it was pills but still. (I remember vividly performing surgery on a teddy bear of mine to sneak my ordered medications into a ward).Unfortunately, after just like 6 months my parents somehow suspected, I believe because they were monitoring my online communications at that point, and begun to confiscate my mail. I don’t know why but I really let this shut me down and I didn’t restart hormones until I was 18. I scream at my past self now that I should have tried so so much harder to get around that.
>>45109246>teenager>"does adult count?"
>>45109200Because I started at 11. :(
>>45109378trutrans realtroon behaviorim ngmi
>>45109349If you were in a ward, did gender stuff come up? Was there any chance for you to get legit hrt? Sorry if you don't want to answer, I'm German myself and everyone I've seen from here who transitioned did it diy, and I'm wondering if it's a coincidence or they're that restrictive here
>>45109369>teenager>eight”teen”Hmm
I thought hrt only really worked if you were intersexed .
>>45109432People don't actually consider 18-19 year olds teenagers, especially not legally
>>45109200i got a job so i could diy at 16 and it was still too late
>>45109200didn't know what HRT was, and was repping too hard after my parents tried to therapy the tranny out of me anyways
>>45109232Upvote, me too, trvke, etc.
>>45109394It was diffrent because I had lived in the U.S.A prior and after, so it wasn’t considered part of the long term transition plan. I was out and girlmoding at that point, but only wasn’t horrific looking cause I was young. My parent were the type that disallow the possibility of HRT until 25 years old for ‘brain development’, so as a minor I never had any chance of getting a legit script. I DIYed when I could and went to planned parenthood for a prescription shorty after turning 18.I will be moving back to Germany soon and am a little worried about accessing continued HRT. Will a doctor just continue my treatment if I have been doing so through my America doctors for 3 years?
>>45109200It wasn't really much of a zeitgeist yet when I started jerking off to futa shit in my early teens. But now that I'm fully cognisant of how easy it is to start I'm also no longer as prone to being mindfucked into it. #NeverTroon
>>45109956Many doctors here won't give you hrt on health insurance anymore due to political shenanigans. You will probably have to pay for it yourself. If you only got informed consent, that might also make it difficult. They usually want a diagnosis of transsexualism and a letter from a therapist confirming you're trutrans. But maybe you'll get lucky and they won't question it if you have documentation that you had hrt prescription in the US
>>45109200I first had the thought at 18 but i was girly enough so i repped for 10 years
>>45109200fighting homelessness and never having heard of hrt or trans people made me think im just weird and suicidal
>>45109200i started hrt at 14
>>45109200first bf (8 years older) convinced me not to and said it does nothing
>>45110140cis people are never defeating the grooming allegations.
>>45109200I started at 18, didnt start earlier because my mom already hated me for nearly dropping out of school. Coming out as a tranny at that time wouldve been a death sentence
>>45109200I didn't even know what HRT was until I was 23.
>>45109200so, bestie, i did!!
>>45110392the gays against groomers gang always been throwing stones in glass houses
>>45109200started at 17 and a half and still too late
>>45109200I know two trannies who started as teens and they don't look or sound any better than me we all look like teenage boys with soft voices they just have bonus weird small boobs
>>45110644one i know who started at 16 is a gigahon who's short. face three times as masculine as mine and a really shitty voice
it was easier being a ghost and dissociating
>>45109956I have gender dysphoria on my medical chart, back from all the doctor and Psych referrals. I will get it translated and apostled here and maybe they will accept it into their record?
>>45110746Yeah if you have a dysphoria diagnosis, you should be good, other than perhaps having to pay yourself. But I assume you're used to that based on informed consent
>>45109200My mom screamed at me when I came out so I was scared of what would happen if she caught me
>>45109232>>45110632These are good to see because people assume I'm a passoid when I tell them I started hrt at 17 but highkey you can be cooked by 16
>>45109200so, bestie, why are you a post ffs post ba failtranny who still wears boymoder fits and doesnt pass
>>45109200i did (like a month after i turned 16) but i think i shouldn't have because it delayed my suicide and i'm just a twinkhon
>>45109200i did
>>45109200Grew up in rural Appalachia in the early 2000s. That answer should say enough.
>>45109200I blame susansplace, early 420chan, maury, jerry springer, buffalo bill, and einhorn
>>45109200i started hrt at 17 to look like this with long hair
>>45109200Because I was busy repping and ruining my life.
>>45109200because I am retarded and didnt know I could transition so I joined the military instead (bad ending)
>>45113977Transfem hrt?
>>45109200Unsupportive parents
>>45109200because I was/am stupid and a coward
>>45110676Yup passing is something you’re born with
>>45114920yes. i was meant to rep really
>>4510920019 still a teenager, right?
>>45109200it was the 90s, I had no idea it was an option, had repressed the tranny thoughts and convinced myself I was crazy for wanting it, and when a psychiatrist point-blank asked if I liked wearing girls clothes I shut down the entire conversation because I didn't trust him
>>45115321>>45109369
>>45109200My conservative parents constant berating of transgender/queer people and them shutting down any expression of femininity or expressed harsh dislike of my male sex/gender I had as a child led to internalized transphobia (as in hatred of any notion I may be any sort of queer, not toward others); so, despite always having close LGBT friends in my youth including many trans people, I found myself constantly convincing myself I was cishet, and even refused to really learn about HRT or accept that it worked in conversations with said friends (what an annoying arrogant guy I was when I was like 14 lol) which I now theorize was me trying to protect myself, although I do not particularly remember my thought-process at the time since I have been dissociating since the age of like 12.I just allowed myself to blame other factors for how I felt about myself, and dissociation made me barely recognize what male puberty was doing to my body so I never thought to stop it. Only recently have I realized the damage I did by my repression-spurred inaction. I saw a picture (one of few) of myself from age 13-15, and I saw someone who wasn't 6'6" yet, someone who wasn't undeniably male, and somebody that could have maintained that smile they had on their face in that photo for more of their life had they realized what they were before it was too late. I'm incredibly jealous of people whose puberties were less harsh, moreso than I am cis-women. By the time I was in my mid-teens, I was already incredibly tall, but at least not as bad as I was now. It hit me like a truck, and there's no universe where my parents would have supported me had I continued expressing my desires to them beyond my infantile attempts at the age of 4 that I'm sure they have long forgotten about now, and at the time probably brushed off as me being childish.I do not know what I'll do now. Repping is killing me, but I do not think I'd survive transitioning with my body and mind. Sorry for vent/blogpost.
>>45115584Still me, I guess I'm not done being upset and venting! I am 18 now, 6'6" and built like a truck. My only saving grace is that if I dropped weight I would probably have somewhat feminine hips. I look like I'm a 30yo in a shitty metal band, and feel like I've aged 8 years in the past 4 months (looking at a picture of myself from 4 months ago proves this to me) from stress. I really do just wonder what my life would be like had just a few things been different, if a few things were different. Rant actually over now sorry.
>>45109200I didn't start hrt as a teen because my dumbass fell for the>Diy is dangerousTrap
>>45109200cuz i was already 6'2" and nearing gorillahon status by the time i was 15
>>45109200i was a religious repressor who thought prayer would save me
>>45109200I actually had no idea it existed until my 20s and by by then I thought it was far too late and only ended up trooning out because I was almsot 30 and realized i didn't want to be called a man for the rest of my life
>start at 17>hon
I did, the earliest I could get it leaglly was 16, I took my first dose of estrogen and spiro 3 days after turning 16
>>45109200>why didnt you start hrt as a teenagerIt was already over.
>>45109200When I first learned about the transgenda it was on /b/It was the last time I paid attention to my own feelings on the matter until I became homeless at 21
>>45109200Because I stopped being a teenager in 2007 and trans care practically didn't exist back then. Next question.
>>45109200i didnt knew trannies even existed ;-;started as soon as i learned about them at 22
>>45109200didn't know anything about it or had any connection to queer culture at all, then when i did learn about it later i repressed for a long time because i am by nature an avoidant, agreeable conformist with high anxiety and an unfortunate body.t. middle-aged man/honmoder
>>45109200parents wouldnt have let me. I doubt they would have even let me get conversion therapy, they would have just told me to stop being delusional. Mom probably would have cried. Also they probably would have forced me to be more feminine because I couldn't get away with lying about the reasons I didn't want to do dysphoria causing stuff (go to the pool in a swimsuit, wear a dress to a school dance, date, etc.). + testosterone is a controlled substance so harder to by illegally. If my mom forced me to shave my legs because she didnt want me to embarass her i seriously doubt shed ever consider letting me transitionPlus i started puberty at like 9 finished puberty by like age 14 so i was fucked very quickly
>>45117732>parents wouldnt have let me. I doubt they would have even let me get conversion therapy, they would have just told me to stop being delusional.very real, sending your children to therapy or acknowledging that psychological disorders exist in children at all was practically unheard of when i grew up. the only exceptions were those with highly expressive behavioral disorders (untreated adhd etc.) and "those people" were heavily looked down upon.
>>45117763realll. They only treat the disorder if its a problem for people other than you, and even then they just try yelling at you first. This happened to me in an urban, liberal area in the 2010s but like all Catholics spiritually live in the 1950s so
>>45117792i'm a good bit older than you, but things haven't really changed that much in the past 20 years, even here in the progressive nordics.
>>45109200Didn't know DIY was a thing and my family was super conservative
>>4510920015, 20 now. i sometimes get sir'd and sometimes ma'amed. Tho tbf i rarely wear makeup. I feel like ppl have been treating me condescendingly since and I havent once been catcalled or stared at which might mean im ugly. I feel like I look like a mildly androgynous unimpressive young woman. I was hoping to be pretty but eh. >inb4 ffsSurgery is the devil and my husbando wouldnt want that for me
>>45109200>teenstoo late
