Ok, so I have to admit to myself that I have issues at the moment. I will try get these down in writing as to document them and put them into a better order. I have many thoughts during the day and not always enough order with them so it makes it hard to work with them.

I was going to film a clip for youtube but I decided against it for a few ( Read more... )

hrt, distress, body dysmorphia, femininity, counsellor, nhs, testosterone, gender, trans, androgyny, dysphoria, transition, doctor, moobs, anxiety, gender fluid, masculinity, breasts

Is coming out really worse than suicide?

If you fear being boxed than don't be boxed. Remember confidence is an excellent defense to social pressure and people will be less likely to be bothered by your presentation if you aren't showing fear.

You can do this.

hugs.
It sounds like you are conflicted here.

You want to transiton, but something is stopping you taking the next step.

That your body dysmorphia has returned and you have reduced your EV says a lot.

You *can* take spiro without EV, but at a reduced dose. Talk to your specialist. You can function with T below normal male range ( 15 to 35 ) but if you have no T and no E then you will have some problems very quickly.

Can I suggest that you read your post again and listen to what you are actually saying.

Finding yourself hating the breasts that you probably love having (I assume so) is because you are conflicted.

Slowing down your transition is for the same reason presumably.

Why is that?

What's important in your life and what takes priority?

There are some facets of my life at the moment that are conflicting. I do believe I'm in the process of transition, however, I have got to a point where I now want to come out as Trans ( ... )

I thought it best to add (just in case it wasn't clear) that I identified my awkwardness as being the result of living in the closet.

- it's like they're screaming something like: - honey, we cant have it all so you wont aswell. make up your mind and dont mess up with neither our narrow minds or all the rules and cathegories that took us so long to be solidified and blindely accepted. we still want to be able to pay women less in jobs and charge men more for car insurance. wich one will it be, ah?..
