Transfem

i'm actually kinda surprised how there's not been 5 people yet commenting "oh you're so young, you have your whole life in front of you, it's not too late, starting at 18 is not too late, don't give up" etc.. well actually i understand your situation quite well. we think at every moment in our lives (especially when we're young) that it's one of the last moments we have. so we panic because we don't have enough time to fix our mistakes ever. but that is a wise trick of nature to kick our butts and get us moving. better start doing things today because you're running out of time. so get started with what you think is right to do.

I'm so sorry, I've had it pretty easy compared to most, but I definitely feel you. Representation is so important, I wouldn't be here if it weren't for all the cool trans people online, given how closed off I am, without it I wouldn't have stood a chance, I've never been suicidal but I often wonder where I'd be in a couple of years if I wasn't exposed to the voices of queer people online. A lot of the things I heard about when I was younger were from cis voices, and it really doesn't do it.

That's why I feel things like social media bans are going to cause a lot of harm to young queer people, because we just don't get that kind of representation in traditional media. Contrary though, I do see a lot more trans people in general now (in public), that and with things like the NHS waiting list probably being (at least in part) due to sheer volume, I feel like public representation could be a good substitute (in safe countries), since I (at least hope) we aren't going back.

I don't really have much life experience, and am quite literally 3 weeks or so old (since I accepted myself), so I'm not sure my advice will mean much (sorry), but it seems you're better now than you have been, If you haven't already (and if you're in a stable place to do so), start picking up your interests again, find some people to care about (and who care about you!), and try to make the best of what you have.

nya, well for me, hating my country and their media from start works good for me, huuuh awadgss, there are often trans associated with streamer dasha koreyka, also lol i had gay online friend for long....

I still suffer from body image issues, I still think I'm looking like my male version, and just because I finished my puberty with testosterone, I'm never gonna be self-confident again.

I'm getting called "miss" even with my unisex male clothes, not even shaving my arms due depression, and I'm passing but this doesn't make me happy.

I have zero interest in making female friends anyways. I seriously fucked myself between age 15 to age 18. All the toxic masculinity I internalised just to survive, permanently fucked my brain.

I can't recognize my childhood. I'm 22, and I still refuse to reconnect with myself.

Please NEVER rep. Being a sex worker in the streets is better than being someone that you're not...
