So I'm Just Questioning My Gender, But I'm Sorta Stuck. I'm Amab And That Doesn't Bother Me Sometimes,

I’m just going to leave this here…

I need some help with dysphoria. I'm not able to start E for about another year or two, but I'm really dysphoric about my hair in general. I haven't been able to grow it out, so that's one thing that bothers me, but also it's starting to recede and thin, and I need support and advice for preventing it as much as possible and cope with how much I've lost already. Sorry, long ask, its just really bothering me and worrying me.

Hi anon! I’m sorry you’re feeling nervous and dysphoric. I know that feeling and it really sucks. 

If you’re able, I’d talk to your doctor about hair regrowth treatments. There are medications out there that can help slow or stop hair loss, depending on a few factors. Unfortunately, since I am not a doctor, I don’t know what drugs are good options for you or if there are any safe OTC drugs you could look into. 

The good news is, there are trans women who had receded hairlines pre-E who have beautiful long, natural hair now. There are some examples of them in the Before and After tag. 

I hope you’re able to get the help you need soon!

Starting now, I'll be posting poetry that I wrote on my page. Hope you all enjoy them!!!

Hey, I've been having doubts about my gender. Like, I don't feel dysphoric all the time, and at the times I'm not, I just feel content with my body. Like I don't love or hate it, I just accept what it is for right now. But when dysphoria hits, its debilitating and the dysphoria is hitting harder than ever right now, but I can't transition or do anything because of transphobic family. Is it normal to experience fluctuating dysphoria also, tips for managing it while still basically closeted (mtf)

Yes. it’s normal for fluctuations to happen with dysphoria. We all have bad days, we all have good days.

So then, finding exceptions to the transphobic slogans help.

Only 2 sexes? Um, intersex people exist Body hair? Hair is common.Big frame? Uh… Exists. Gal Gadot is 5'10" Allison Janey is 5'11". And Lane Bryant exists so…Shoes? Sigh. There are specialty shoes sizes, and some stylish shoes can be uncomfortable so you’d be taking them off at your seat already. (I just want to mention that size outliers exist for other parts of wardrobes, and also condoms & I’d guess tampons. Those are usually tailors & prescriptions.)Reproduction? Growing a human population requires keeping ourselves alive too, so doing a job, babysitting, etc, those help too.Makeup? Do whatever, everything is an aesthetic if you find the words for it.

That being said other people suck, and we can’t control them. Therefore, like look for other things to do to adapt to this/them. Admittedly this part I don’t know much on.

However, I do have mental illness. So generally making a to-do & i-did list helps out a lot. Also journaling can help.[1]

and yeah, walking/hiking to where you’re constantly trying to decide on a path, breathing, learning stuff, doing puzzles, writing instructions for things, all of that can help. Video poker like those handheld games like on your phone can be nifty too.

Good Luck, Peace & Love,Eve

[1]If you’re worried about privacy for your journals I’d develop a short-hand of abbreviations. Personally, for mine I focused on the little words like by, to, of, -’s, anyway, so yeah, basically, like, just, which I turned to x, t, v, -z, anwa, s yh, bscly, lk, js. You would want to look up texting short-hand in different languages & mix & match them. Also consider doing creative spelling when forming your shorthand. If you do it good they’ll be distracted by all the short-hand & not get you’re writing in code. For proper nouns, basically make a word association with it, perhaps use emoji. If lacking emoji for that write “such&such emoji”. Rhyming slangs can help too.

Some advice for dressmakers:

1. Pockets are a thing. 2. Breasts are a thing.

Leave room in your design for both.
