It's frustrating to me to see people here with names like Katiecumslutsissy or frillysissymaidbitch4u complain about having a hard time getting acceptance by family and friends. If your idea of yourself is purely sexual it's going to repel everyone and you will reek of it even when you think you are hiding it. Hot sex is not a valid reason to transition, jfc. Your sexuality is your business. Keep it that way. Want family and friends to accept you as a woman? Then act like one. The way you think about yourself matters and the way you present yourself does, too. Being trans is NOT about your sexuality. Grow the fuck up and educate yourself before you say silly shit to family and friends. Seriously, how lazy are some of you? Is transitioning going to be easy? Hell no. We don't live in perfect world and probably never will so quit demanding that it be simple. You sound like a privileged idiot. Especially to trans women who have already fought the battle you complain about years before you were even thinking about it. Who are you telling how hard it is? I don't trust people who have never faced adversity and overcome it. And if some family and friends do reject you as a woman when/if you come out? Then you find new family. They are called your Chosen Family. Ask any trans woman or man. You have to take the rough with the smooth and ride out those first big waves.

"What “Chosen Family” Means to Trans Women

For many trans women, chosen family is the network of people they intentionally choose to love, support, and stand by — regardless of biology, legal status, or traditional family structures. It’s a source of safety, belonging, and affirmation when relationships with birth or legal families may be unsafe, rejecting, or unavailable.

Why It’s Especially Important for Trans Women

You can't 'decide' to be a girl. Nobody can 'make' you be a girl. (Hypno is crap, btw). You're either born that way or you're not. It's a matter of the soul but there is also science. Don't be discouraged if you are strangely curious but don't necessarily 'feel like a woman' at this point. If you are truly an egg, that awareness/realization comes like a bolt of lightning (more times than not) when you 'hatch'. But, more info on our main topic:

"Gender incongruence is the state of having a gender identity that does not correspond to one's sex assigned at birth. This is experienced by people who identify as transgender or transsexual and often results in gender dysphoria."

What is the Cause of Gender Incongruence?

"To put it bluntly, we don’t know (at least not firmly). Science and modern psychology have proven that it is not caused by nurture; no one becomes transgender, gender identity is congenital, solidifying before we even exit the womb. It also appears to sometimes be hereditary; transgender parents have a higher likelihood of having transgender children, and many times they realize this in reverse. The child comes out to the parent, and that helps the parent realize they can come out as well."

Ahh, gender euphoria! It's not sexual. Cisgender men and women experience it. And so do trans people. It is a feeling that eggs don't often identify even though they experience it, too. Transitioning trans women experience it at a much deeper and frequent level the further they progress along their journey. More:

"Gender euphoria can manifest in many ways, ranging from intense joy to subtle feelings of rightness. Examples include:

Seeing oneself in the mirror and feeling, “Yes, that’s me”.

Being addressed with the correct name or pronouns. (My note: You will NEVER get tired of this. It will NEVER not make you happy.)

Experiencing alignment between one’s body and gender expression, such as after gender-affirming medical care or clothing choices.

Feeling confident and comfortable in social or public spaces that previously caused discomfort. It can be a warm, electric sensation, a quiet hum of contentment, or a deep sense of hope and excitement. (My note: This! contentment.)

Importance and Impact

Experiencing gender euphoria is linked to better mental health outcomes. Research shows that transgender and nonbinary youth who report high levels of gender euphoria have lower odds of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation compared to those with low levels. It highlights the importance of affirming gender experiences, whether through social recognition, supportive environments, or gender-affirming medical care."

There, I simplified it for you. And, as with any dream, you commit to overcome all obstacles to achieve it with an unstoppable passion. Roadblocks and things which cause delays become unacceptable.

“Good!,” you hear as your Dad’s feet pound down the stairs.  The door creeps open.

“Darn it!  Why… won’t… this… door… pull… open?!”
