NationStates' Transgender Thread II

[Nature-Spirits]

I know it's frustrating feeling like you can't do anything to progress. All you can really do is keep fighting and hope that you come out in a better place. In the meantime, why not do something small to make yourself feel better? Go buy some makeup, or cute panties or something. That usually makes me feel better.

Not going to lie. Cute is something that's pretty hard for me at times. All that socialization about cute being 'embarrassing' and fear of drawing attention to myself, or looking immature, really sometimes keeps me from getting clothes I like. ^-^;

Well, I'm not going to lie either. "Cute panties" for me often just means plain, dark monochrome boyshorts. Most of my pairs are black, but I have some grey ones, one beige pair, and some navy, burgundy, and purple ones. Almost all of them are boyshorts, mostly because things pop out of anything else. Some of them have a bit of lace, though!

I, personally, think that black lace is sexy af. :3

In any case, I understand where you're coming from.

And length is another issue for us taller women. I know that finding long enough sleeves will be an eternal battle.

Haha. I have that problem even with men's clothes. Pants, shirts, jackets, pretty much everything is too short in some dimension or other. That's why I roll the sleeves up on most of my shirts, and often wear long gloves alongside my jackets and coats in the winter.

And then miniskirts just look ridiculous. I've tried. It feels more like a strip of fabric wrapped around my hips than anything else.

My legs are merely average in length, but it only means tops become tricky.

Looking back in life, I always remember I interacted better with girls, and had more female friends

Looking back in life, I always remember I interacted better with girls, and had more female friends

And for me, I interacted more closely with girls or with guys who didn't have the most masculine interests such as art over sports for example.

I also remember my first attempt to kiss a girl, didn't work out, she called someone and we talked, two days later the next kiss I had was with him in the woods near my pool

Looking good so far in transitioning, if I do say so myself.

Awwwww... I still haven't done squat like that. I think my mind isn't thinking of love without the body to match.

If I get to look that good, I'll be proud as a peacock.

Aw, thanks peeps!

Wish I didn't keep getting stuck feeling hopeless about everything.

Why would you feel hopeless about everything? If you don't mind me asking.

Is it hard to find a partner as a transgender person?

[Shonburg]

Is it hard to find a partner as a transgender person?

Depends on the person I suppose. I've had about 4 relationships since I started transitioning, and have had 3 people I've had to turn down.

[Veceria]

Is it hard to find a partner as a transgender person?

Depends on your personality and location, I guess.
But I bet it's harder than for cis.

[Vassenor]

Guess I'm not doing too badly, even if I haven't technically started yet.

You certainly wouldn't stick out in my local city center.

Hi, I'm alive!


Just a random thing that popped up on my FB that I wanted opinions on from the Trans Crew here on NS:


And it doesn't let me post the link...

Hi, cismale here, have to disagree. I can't get anybody. ._.

Actually, it is often very hard for trans people to engage in romantic relationships, because a large number of cis people don't want to publicly acknowledge that they could be attracted to a trans person. Trans women especially have to take into account that if they don't approach relationships carefully, their lives could be at stake.

And anecdotes prove nothing....

I'll fully admit it. Openly and clearly.

It's almost as if the whole plumbing right down to the uterus and ovaries needs to be there but science won't let that happen for me to go with anything less than absolute caution.
