I’m really glad I found these people, I love them all to death already

[pre-t-dude]

I really have nothing to say here, I just really appreciate the steps my family’s been taking to help me and I hope that it happens with all of your families too

I visited an art school during spring break and there was a surprising amount of people who looked just like me!! I’ve never seen that before it was kind of surreal lmao

I don't know what to do anymore and I'm thinking of giving up on everything. I don't mean suicide giving up, I mean just loosing all motivation. I even thought about running away and I'm scared that I might do it. Not only that, my work coach decided to sign me up to a YMCA program and I'm not sure if it'll work. Apparently they will help with stuff like motivation and sexuality and stuff and I'm worried that it might be bullshit.

Dude that feeling really sucks, I’m so sorry you have to go through that. Honestly try out the program for at least a few classes/meetings to see if you like it! If someone’s recommending something to you then chances are it might not be bullshit. Please remember to do things that make you happy and stay motivated, those are two really great things that can help a lot in general. If not, another thing you could try could also be to try something new! Even if it’s something small like taking a walk around the block, I hope you’ll feel a lot better afterwards

Hey, what's gonna happen when you start on T with your username?

I have no idea!! I’m trying to brainstorm new names but if anyone wants to send me suggestions for a new username when I’m post-t then by all means tell me lmao

I’m a trans guy and I’m happy like this, but I’m still anxious because a lot of people have told me that it’s probably just a phase and that I’ll grow out of it. How do I get people to stop telling me that?

Honestly you can’t, you’ll just have to show them. The more time passes by and the more secure you are with your identity then they’ll start to question themselves and realize that you aren’t in a phase. My parents thought I was going through a phase and wouldn’t let it go for a full year, a little while after that they started to realize I wasn’t stopping and then finally accepted it and helped me take steps to keep going with my transition :) stay strong!! All those stupid comments will end one day

A month...has never been so long...

Click here to support Ryan's Transition organized by Ryan Almeida

My name is Ryan. I chose my name weeks ago and I'm still trying to get used to it. I am a non-binary person and my pronouns are he/they. I live in Portugal and my existence isn't valid because they believe that there are only two genders...so I basically need to identify as a male to get top surg...

I’m raising money to start my transition. If you don’t have any money please share. And if you do have money and need it more than I do please don’t donate. I hope we’ll be able to be ourselves one day. Thank you! 

[pre-t-dude]

This person seems really nice, if anyone’s willing to donate or at least read their story then it would help a lot!

Hi! Just wanted to say as a Pre-T dude that does sports, I love that you were bold enough to join the swim team! The only sport I can play (well) is volleyball, and there's no men's volleyball that I can join, so I often practice during lunch and after school with my wall as my receiver (before I got used to it, I hit myself in the face a lot). I was too shy to ask if I can join the women's volleyball as a guy, so I'm going to try! Thank you for inspiring me!

Oh yay!! Good luck my dude! I’m sure you’ll do great :)

I wish to be able to go swimming again but I don’t want to wait around for another 2-3 years for top surgery what kind of top could I wear? I know most binders aren’t suitable for swimming in so I was wondering if you had any suggestions or anything. Thank you.

I usually wear a specific type of swim binder that can withstand chlorine and water and then I put a binder on top for when I’m swimming! I found the binder by googling “swim binders” and there’s a small selection but they work really well :)

Im in a super religes family so for about 6 or 7 years now (im 18) ive been hiding the fact im auctuly a female stuck in a males body so im woundering how did your family take it

My family was really confused as to what I meant when I first came out and my parents are still kind of hoping it’s a phase now, but I found that therapy sessions with your parents really help them understand what you’re going through and what they can do to support you. It isn’t a graceful journey in the slightest no matter what you do but being patient with them helps a lot because I’ve found that most of the time they’re just genuinely confused and want to understand what’s happening and (hopefully) what they can do to help

Hey quick question how much does testosterone cost (with no insurance)per month for those who are taking it?

[pre-t-dude]

Hey just curious, it's totally chill if you don't feel like answering, but what about changing rooms when you go swimming? I love swimming but quit when I hit puberty due to dysphoria and changing rooms and I'd love to know so I can start up again

It’s probably not healthy but i usually just change at home and put on sweatpants and a sweater over my bathing suit before and after getting in the pool, Ive been told we could change in the boys room though if I ever need to change though you just have to change in the stalls. It’s kind of awkward at first if there’s people in there that knew you when you before transitioning but nobody cares after a while (but if you don’t feel completely safe in there please don’t jeopardize ur safety)

[pre-t-dude]

Oh my god I just found your blog and??? Oh my god I absolutely love it? You’re a really inspiring dude! I’m a trans guy too and just scrolling through your blog makes me really happy :DD
