Sex Ed Time

ok I'm gonna tell you about some things that might happen if you are transitioning m->f. this is not a comprehensive list just my own experience, be sure to do your own research I just really wanted to voice how this affects me because I think open discussion about this type of stuff is just more helpful for everyone rather than keeping it private

BOOBS HURT WHEN THEY GROW

your sex drive (libido) will probably go down a lot

facial hair is very hard to get rid of

my go-to gender affirming clothing is high-waisted jeans. I suggest going to a goodwill or some sort of cheap store that lets you try on clothes to figure out what you like

muscle mass will go down, fat will be redistributed

boobs do all sorts of crazy stuff when you run / exercise

overtime your skin will get softer, you also might smell nicer, and I've been told it can thin body hair but I don't really see it all that much 🤷

your brain chemistry can change when you reduce testosterone and increase estrogen, there are lots of factors that contribute toward any changes to your personality, but hormones can have an impact as well. for me this is a good thing because I struggle with allowing myself to feel emotions sometimes, no matter how hard I tried I was never really able to get myself to cry. I've gotten closer to being able to cry since I started transitioning though and that makes me very happy

this is a slow process that can take several years, ultimately you're going to be in your body for several years regardless, so if this is something you want it's definitely something you should try to pursue if possible. the time will pass anyways, and it does feel nice to work towards something that can make you happier.

also this is very important, you don't need to do any sort of hormone replacement therapy in order to be trans. not everybody can access HRT, and for those who can access it, not everybody wants to take on all the changes that come with treatments. you don't have to chemically or physically change your body in any way in order to deserve respect

all right that's all I have for right now feel free to add anything in the comments, I would especially like to hear from trans men what your experiences have been, I think openly talking about these types of things can really help some people

Ex: I love the color green. My room is green, my hair is green, my phone background is green, etc.. If I can get an item in green, I will. I don’t wear a lot of green, but it’s like “my color” yk?

Black is separated specifically because I have a feeling a lot of tumblr users will align with that

Just curious :)

It's okay he can say it

I’m aromantic but I’ve been dating this girl for 2 1/2 years because I didn’t realize that I was aro until after we started dating but I didn’t break up with her after I realized because our relationship was kinda just like a friendship but with extra kissing and being affectionate anyways and we’re both ace so we don’t gotta worry about “that”.

And I’ve asked her if she’s okay with that. If it hurts her feeling when I say I don’t love her the same way she loves me and she’s said it’s cool and she doesn’t care. And the other day in ceramics class we quite literally planned how we were gonna get married.

Like I’m gonne pull up to her house on her 18th birthday, we’re gonne go down to the courthouse and get married+have her name legally changed, and then 3 years later when we’re 21 we’re gonne have a small forest wedding that kinda has a cult vibe, and then a few years later when we have the money we have a more “traditional” wedding with a bunch of differences.

Me and this girl have matching bracelets, we’ve kissed in front of her parents after a concert “for the bit”, she’s let me just kinda chew on her finger for a whole class period because I was bored. She bought me a pink 3D printed sword but it broke in the mail so she gave me a PLASTIC SWITCHBLADE.

All this to say aromantic people can be in loving relationships that work for them and nobody should have a say on if your love is “correct” or not. You’re not any less aromantic for being in relationship. All that matters is that all parties involved care for each other and communicate. If you and somebody vibe and you put the label of dating onto the relationship that’s cool and if you don’t that’s cool to. As long as Yall are happy that’s ok that matters

There no “right way” to love somebody (as long as it’s all legal and consensual) whether the love is romantic or not, the connection, care, and your happiness is all that really matters.
