Transition Advice for Transgender MTF



Many male to female transgender people may have just started their transitioning. There are some suggestions from a person who have finished her transition. May these can help you.

Be patient. Many transgender people who just started taking hormones and blockers are very impatient with the process. You have to understand that it will be a long process, even for years. The changes are not obvious as well. Many trans women have serious gender dysphoria possibly will suffer great impatience during this process. You should have faith in it. It will change eventually. You should never expect that all the changes will happen in weeks or months. That is abnormal. Just be patient and believe that it will come one day. You will be happy. It is terrible that we have to suffer so much bad memories and experiences. But happiness takes prices. Just hang in there and you will get there eventually.

Be prepared that you are going to suffer emotional breakdown when you start HRT, which is hormone replacement therapy. You will be so emotional about little things. Maybe you will say some stupid words and do some silly things. My suggestion is taking things slow. Do not make it so intense for yourself. Understand that it is okay to be like that. Your body is suffering so many changes. It is super normal to act like that. But try not to hurt people who love you. Even if you did, explain to them and apologize. Give yourself some time and you will have a nice trans dating.

Be easy on yourself. Do not focus on your bad side. You may still look a little muscular for now. You may still have your Adam's apple. You may still have a manly voice. These can be changed and will change in the coming future. So why stress out on these things which will change eventually. Focus on something good. For example, if you have pretty eyes, look at them more often. If you have nice body, spend more time on dressing. Compliment yourself. Try to live happier.

Be nice and patient to your friends and family. Many shemales have problem with their friends and family not accepting them to be who they are. But at most of the time, that is not true, especially for your family. They are the closest people to you. Maybe they constantly call you by the wrong pronouns. But they did not mean it. Just think about it, they have been calling you "he" for over ten years or more. How can they get used to call you "she" in just days or weeks. They just need a little more time to adjust to it. Do not push them away right away when they show some doubts. Have some patient. They will get used to it and accept you and support you. Besides, you will really need them during your transition. You need someone to talk to and stay with. You need your friends and family.
