I've figured out Iwas trans around a year ago. I've more accepted it 6-8 months ago, and fully embraced the identity a few months ago.

I feel like I'm able to see myself as a woman more often(presenting or not; probably the longer hair) but I find it hard to consciously switch names and pronouns since I feel like I still very much present masc¿and don't look so femme, even if I want to.

It's like, it feels somewhat in-genuine, you know? Deep, deep down, I want to be her, but also I don't want the confrontation of, "you don't look like a 'her'."

I just need some advice/encouragement. My therapist has asked multiple times if they should switch name/pronouns, but it's so difficult face-to-face and not socially out.

Help plz?

Edit: I'm not sure how this ended up in the meme community 😅 I posted it late at night, but I thought I got /c/mtf instead

I've hatched twice now and it's like this for me too: it's been quite important for me to try things out and feel how they feel rather than expecting to figure out my life and self "hands-off" and then implement that once done. Sometimes parts of a presentation or of reactions to it aren't clear until they're felt and one may not necessarily know whether those parts will be pleasant or problems until then. That is, maybe you really don't know how it'll feel until you just jump in and try, give yourself some time to break up some things holding you back, and process the whole reality of it all at once.

Big note: it's okay to be wrong. A lot of people act like it isn't, like everyone's supposed to full-on know without ever thinking about it or having to learn anything, but they're dead wrong and they're probably lying to themselves just to keep from having to consider that maybe identity isn't as simple and easy as they want it to be, or want to pretend that it is.

That all makes perfect sense when it's spelled out 😅 I think I am moving in a similar direction about "just see how it feel" I get so stuck in the head space where I have to figure out all I can before I make a move, and my therapist has been trying to get me out of that for a while, because it doesn't work like that 😂

Welcome to femcel memes. A place where anybody can post memes that fit the vibe.

Warning: We have a tendency to post things that may at times come from a self-deprecating perspective or things that are funny coming from another queer person. This space will always be a safe place for transfems, non-binary people, people with a feminine gender expression (GNC or otherwise) or anybody else in the LGBT Community to come together and share about our experiences but we truly feel that laughing about the sometimes silly and embarrassing parts the queer experience can help bring us together. We never mean offense or harm in anything posted but rather they are satirical takes coming from queer people.

A note about 'Egging': Our community is mostly made up of transfem individuals, and as such most memes posted will be posted with the intention of having a transfem perspective. However, regardless of gender identity, all feminine presenting individuals are welcome here. Whether that means you're NB, GNC, transmasc, or any other identity, you are welcome here. It is not our intention or goal to invalidate these identities. If something makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to report the post and I will address your concerns on an individual level. For more information regarding the problems with 'Egg-culture', please see Here.

Love Y'all and thank you for following this community
