What is your gender?
Transfem!
What are your pronouns?
She/they
When did you first realise you were trans?
About 20
Did you change your name?
Yup! Took the name of a witch
Are you out to your family?
Yuppers
Are you out to your friends?
Yuuuup
What did they think of your coming out (if applicable)?
Mum & little brother were cool about it, the rest of my family not so much. Most of my friends were pretty supportive but some of them got really nasty about it.
Also I lost my job :p
Do you have trans friends?
Yeah, a couple IRL & a few online. You have to *really* go searching for people IRL though.
Did your sexuality change when you came out?
Nope! I've always been bi as hell lmao
Did/do you take hormones?
Yup, intramuscular estradiol cypionate.
Do you have penis envy?
Transfem so,, no :v
Do you plan on medically transitioning?
Yeah, but the surgeries are expensive.
Upon transitioning, did you notice a difference in the way society/the public treats you (if applicable)?
Yeahhhh, I lost my job & finding work that I'm not discriminated in became *really* difficult. I get a few odd comments on the street/shithead teenagers shout at me & I have to be careful at night or when there's a public event like a football game. That being said, I've met a lot of really supportive and sweet people, both cis and trans.
Do you have any trans headcanons or idols?
Not really? I related a lot to Rose from Homestuck when I was like 13 so I guess that could count as a trans-headcanon.
Who gives you the most gender envy?
I don't really get gender envy, per se. I have a few friends who I'm like "oh my god you're gorgeous, I wish I looked as good as you" but less envy & more appreciation.
I used to *really* wanna be Aerith from FF7 when I was a kid though lmao
Any tips for passing?
Confidence!
I think it's different for trans-masc people so I can't give any advice there but like, for transfem passing it's mostly a case of being really good at makeup and knowing how to dress.
If you're newly out & trying to dress fem avoid the "Amazon Basics" fit, you wanna find a blouse that changes your torso silhouette & a good skirt that's reasonably long - foam breastforms are also great for wearing underneath dresses & blouses that go up to your neck.
There are a bunch of great makeup tutorials for trans girls on youtube too, especially if you get beard shadow sob sob
Do you wish you were never born trans?
Nothing quite so severe. I would have liked to have been born a girl, gone through childhood as a girl & not made such a mess of my early life, but I'm happy that I'm trans. I wouldn't be me if I wasn't.
There's a lot of pain involved in transitioning, but it is also something worth celebrating.
