"just eat more! Also you need to remember that it's a marathon not a race. Be patient! It takes time! :3"

Yes and no-

I've done it a fair amount irl, and I like to think I'm experienced enough to at least offer guidance. So you're in good hands ❤️

I love talking makeup, fashion, managing dysphoria. Anything. No matter where you are in your transition, I want to help my girls be the best version of themselves possible, and I just want to talk to more trans girls

If you're interested in anything at all, my DMs and asks are open. And I'm definitely going to make some more posts about it. I'm always more than happy to help ❤️

Well I’ve been on T for just short of 5 years now!! Crazy how time flies. I wanted to share a tip on how I dealt with people misgendering me when I first started transitioning, specifically people (my family) who wanted to use the right pronouns but had a hard time getting used to the change.

All I did was establish with them this:

Whenever they said she/her/hers by accident, I would say “pickle”. It was a non-confrontational and even fun way of calling them out on their mistake.

Obviously, you can choose any agreed upon random word to have the same effect. Using a random word was nice because i could use it in public and not embarrass them and not bring too much attention to their mistake in public. And my other family members started calling each other out using “pickle” too, so it was fun and easy. I only really used it with my family but I think it could work with anyone who you set up that expectation with.

This blog was created to give advice/help to all our mtf sisters out there. You can send in asks about anything mtf/trans related. You can also submit something if you think it might be helpful for someone.

I’m a 22-year-old trans girl, and I’ve been transitioning since I was 15. Over the years, I’ve had the same core friend group of guys—my "boys"—since before I came out, and honestly, they were incredibly supportive when I did. I’m lucky to have that kind of long-standing acceptance, and even though I have other circles now, this group is still one of my closest.

Now here’s where I’m feeling a bit conflicted. The guys are planning a classic “lads holiday” to Portugal this summer and invited me along without hesitation. And while I was really touched by that, part of me can’t help but wonder—would it feel weird? For them, for me?

It’s not that I think they’d treat me badly. It’s more that I don’t want to unintentionally make anything awkward. Like, does having a girl (even one they’ve known forever) change the dynamic of a lads holiday? Should I go and just enjoy it like old times? Or is this something I should maybe sit out?

Would love to hear if anyone's been in a similar boat—whether as a trans person or even as a cis person who’s navigated group dynamics like this. Any perspectives welcome.

I'm currently a deeply closeted trans woman and the thing that really gives me dysphoria is my body hair.

I'm like fully fuzzy and this was never an issue when I was nonbinary, but now I'm starting to feel more femme, my chest hair is getting in the way of feeling great.

Do you have any suggestions regarding what to do in such a situation? My spouse doesn't mind, but I feel removal would help me feel better and have no idea the best way to do so without irritation.

Please help :)

Hi Gorge, so sorry to hear you've been feeling this way

Body hair is a real struggle for a lot of girls, so don't worry, you aren't alone. You have some options, depending on where you are in your life and transition. If you are on estrogen, a lot of your body hair will thin naturally, and what new hair grows will typically be significantly reduced and much softer. And if you're not already on E, it's something to look forward to at least

As for permanent removal, laser and electrolysis treatments are your best bets. Electrolysis will permanently stop your hair from growing back. Laser does the same but is slightly less permanent. Both options are long, expensive processes, however, and probably a long way off if you're not in the right financial situation. Although it's worth saying that these treatments can be less effective depending on skin tone and hair colour. I'm definitely no expert, though, so take my word with a grain of salt. I haven't had any permanent hair removal (yet), and I'm still cunty as fuck so it's not the end of the world if these options are out of reach for now.

Your final option is to shave! shave! shave! It is tedious, it is time consuming, it feels like a sisyphean task. But it does work. Make sure you exfoliate and use a shaving cream that won't irritate your skin. And be sure to moisturise after shaving. The internet is your friend, and I'm sure there is a glut of resources detailing the best ways and routines to dehair yourself. Just be patient, and from my experience, shaving the sensitive areas is much easier than first expected.

You will eventually find the solution that works best for you, I promise. Given the patriarchal world we live in, every woman will have felt what you're feeling right now. I empathise with how you feel. It's a shitty stage of transition, but it's one we all go through.

I have the utmost faith in you, in all regards ❤️
