    as some one who is similarly masculinised and older than most, i simply want to start hrt to minimise the pain because further masculinisation will break me mentally. i dont think too much about passing or measurements or any of it, thats for people who start young or get lucky unfortunately. i just want to not suffer like this.

      I understand but isn’t not passing also suffering because if I don’t pass why would somebody love me or the world treat me like a human being? Isn’t the pain better than?

        how would you treat someone who doesnt pass from here?

        just in case the answer is “be disgusted and hate them”, then not everyone is as cruel about it as you

        but obvs hoping thats not the case and youd treat them nice in which case your comment is demonstrably false

          I would treat them nicely but that’s just because I’m a freak too. Isn’t that kind of the consensus here. Don’t we all hate ourselves because we’re trans. Idk. People definitely hate us. And even if they are nice to us, they won’t ever be truly good to us. People can be nice, but that’s not the same as being loved and wanted and truthfully accepted

            hot take: people youre close with matter more than random chud strangers

            and most people here hate themselves for not starting at 13 i think, not just because they’re trans, thats just kinda how they be so, cant do much about it
