Yep. If not him it’ll be some other guy in a few years…. I don’t want men to have power over me like this. Like I need to be different to be worth something. But he just awakens dormant feelings.
I appreciate you comment.
I’m definitely not goals for any of you but thanks.
Not on hormonal birth control but finding out it’s basically a higher dose of HRT, I’m considering it. I am fat but not in the feminine way and I feel like hrt could fix that. Redistribution… Seeing how it’s changed people (mtf), I feel like it could really help. My somatic issue.
You have no idea where we are at, so don't discount that you may be goals. If you've been called maam or lady for more than 1/100 interactions, you are already goals for me. Not everyone here looks like the transwomen to see posting.
Even if she's goals for many of the girls here, gender affirming care should be available to anyone who wants it. cis or trans. Increased weight, masculine traits, depression would all be possible indicators of some sort of endocrine problem. But, it's impossible to tell over the internet. So getting estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and also thyroid hormones tested would be my first step.
she shouldn't have any trouble getting access to that care because she's cis - you're right, she should just go to the doctor, get hormones checked, and go from there
I think at this point it's irresponsible to indicate she should source DIY hormones and start taking them.
I wasn't suggesting that she go DIY without knowing what (if anything) the problem is.
+1 to this, I used to have such intense distress and felt that even just being mistaken for a woman is all I want - being a pretty woman wasn't even on the radar, just even been seen as a woman instead of male was "goals" for me
