What If a Professional Said You Weren't Trans?

[Jennifer.L]

Actually there are studies on the Trans Brain.  xD  they are definitive.  No one seems to care.  but we are hard wired.  a simple scan could pick us out.

Is it weird that I've never had an interest in makeup? I just don't find it very appealing. Tho clothes, hair, voice are all a definite yes. Love it.

Nah, it's not weird. There are plenty of cis girls out there who don't wear makeup, too. I just included it in that list as it's something that can help you pass better (if applied correctly, of course.)

Oh wow.. That's a little scary.

Yes. Ever watched Full House? It's one of my favorite shows. One of the characters advice on makeup is to make it look like you're not wearing any.

(I know it's scripted, but as far as I know, it's pretty darn good advice)

I actually had that happen. I was seeing a doctor who was convinced that I'm not transgender but instead my bipolar had advanced and was manifesting itself as transgender.

I changed doctors to someone who has experience with transgender people and she said herself that my old doctor was crazy. Three sessions later I had my recommendation for HRT.

So, like, if they did a scan of a crowd from a satellite, they could pick out who has gender dysphoria and who does not?

It's funny how they could've been trained the exact same way... Yet they have completely different conclusions for the same person.

I would rather live 10 days in total freedom and emotional security than 100 years miserable and in hiding.

[Jennifer.L]

Also Suiside.  No.  call me if you ever really think about it. .
Makeup.  Its shocking how many girls can't even do make up these days. xD  No, wearing makeup is actually growing uncommon.  xD   



HUGGGGGGSSSSSSSS

don't worry the people that would use it baddly don't want to do anything to legitimize us

Well, if you put it that way... Sort of sounds like being able to do whatever you want (then being assassinated or something) versus being some fugitive in a genocide... Like a Jew during the Holocaust.

Sure you don't want to PM her that instead, Jennifer? The whole forum may be calling you. Not to mention anybody who happens to stumble across this site.

I did years ago but I haven't thought about suicide in awhile. As I said before, death scares me. I believe in technical terms, "I have a fear of oblivion".

I don't want to join those who have suicided in this community... And I hope I never want to. Unfortunately, we leave in just about the crappiest society ever.

Well suicide applies to everyone, not just me.

I believe the suicide rate of trans is 5x higher than that of those who are not?

I've heard it's higher, but I don't remember the exact numbers. Anyway, I just wanted to make sure she was okay with the entire forum seeing it. Also, iiMTF, you're welcome to PM me if there's ever anything troubling you that you'd like to talk about in private.

[alabamagirl]

Ah, I see she did remove it from her original post. iiMTF, would you please edit it out of your quote as well?

Thanks. One thing I notice about the word private, tho: A lot of my secrets I've never told people in real life, but I have shared it over the internet to people I don't know in real life. It's odd how that works. I guess I just feel like being judged won't have as great an effect on my life?

Alright, I edited it out :p

Quick question, has anybody else used the Tapatalk app to view these forums? I use Tapatalk whenever I'm on my phone... I tend to not ever use my laptop on here.

What do they know anyway. Only you know yourself.
