I'm seriously started considering starting hrt. Talk me out of it before it's too late

>I don't know
Well here are some basic questions. Do you wish you were born the opposite gender? Do you have thoughts regarding this recurrently? Does it cause you anxiety to realize that you have to live presenting as the gender you have now?

And this .

Cis people don't want to take tit tacs. Cis people don't agonize over this for extended periods of time. Generally speaking I don't think this whole 'durrr the trannies are brainwashing us' thing makes sense and I can't understand how someone without dysphoria could just be tricked into considering transition.

Wow my dysphoria is cured! Thanks guys. Who would have known that the mental stress and anguish I had over being born with a male body could have been cured by watching South Park and a YT video.

Of course, when it's gonna be a tranny it's gonna be a bong.

HRT is only meant for people with gender dysphoria or hormone issues. If you aren't sure you have gender dysphoria you should see a professional and work out your feelings and opinions on your own.
I see a therapist about gender dysphoria right now, and I don't want to start HRT. Simply because I have a fully developed male body and have somewhat come to terms with that. There would be no dignity in transitioning and looking like I'm in drag for the rest of my life.
For me gender dysphoria has been life-long, and I probably shall not be rid of it until my death. I am depressed and struggle with anxiety.

Do NOT start HRT unless you're absolutely sure that you are completely aware of every consequence of doing so, and you believe it will alleviate your symptoms that gender dysphoria gives.

Also: if you could push a button and be the other gender but you could never change back would you do it

I don't know, I guess it could be helpful.
Not in the US, sadly. And I don't really have the money to spend on therapists.
How is it working out for you so far?
This is my biggest worry, honestly. There is no going back after you start. Also, what is prison gay?
I've seen it and I'm not on any discords.
Won't load for me for some reason.
>Do you wish you were born the opposite gender?
Yes
>Do you have thoughts regarding this recurrently?
Yes, semi-regularly
>Does it cause you anxiety to realize that you have to live presenting as the gender you have now?
Yes
Don't really have the money to spend on a professional, sadly.
>if you could push a button and be the other gender but you could never change back would you do it
Yes, absolutely

you're a bi cis man. i know that seems gross and impure right now but it's better to be what you are than try to be what you're not.

There's also an advanced version if you have high levels of dysphoria:
>Would you rather push a button to become the opposite gender for life or push a button to remove your dysphoria completely and live as the gender you have now?

Shills in action

The former, honestly

>There is no going back after you start.
Do you want to transition to become a woman? Because I know more about that. I know that you can start estrogen for a couple weeks and then go off it before any major physical changes. Some transgirls do this to see if they want to really present as women and if estrogen relieves their dysphoria. You can talk to an endocrinologist about this.

I don't know what to do about the money situation though.

Sounds like you might have some degree of gender dysphoria then. You could order DIY HRT, but like I said, please read into the potential consequences of doing so. You will need to take regular blood tests and monitor hormone levels. You will probably never be indistinguishable from a cis female (unless you have godlike genes and can access the best surgeons on earth). You will never bear a child.
Going on HRT merely allows you to easier present as a female, but you might never truly "pass" or feel genuine. It takes a lot of conviction, willpower and energy to transition. Don't jump into this blindly because a bunch of retards on Jow Forums started spamming pink pill bullshit.

Definitely sounds like gender dysphoria.

>I don't know, I guess it could be helpful.
So talk it out then, just start typing and go from there. Write a little about how you feel when you consider yourself as male compared to when you consider your self female, perhaps.
I think that HRT is the end point, the first step in transition is figuring yourself out. Put medical transition to one side and focus on the emotional side for a little, might clear your head.

I'm also 6 months into hrt so I can answer any questions if you want OP

>there's no going back after you start
You can detransition and people do it all the time, with mtf hrt you'll permanently go sterile and have boobs (which can be removed) after a few months but everything else stops once you stop taking hrt

>Does it cause you anxiety to realize that you have to live presenting as the gender you have now?
You need to find help now. I had this and it led me to commit suicide. Dysphoria is terrible. I know you have a probably with money but maybe your healthcare covers something related to dysphoria or mental health?

>I had this and it led me to commit suicide
whoa, spoopy

how old are you OP?

Original comment tbqh

Interesting. I'll do some research on that.
I don't even know where to begin, honestly.
Nope, doesn't cover it.
19

Usually if you start hrt before 21-22 you can still get female bone growth so try and keep that in mind.

>I don't even know where to begin, honestly.
Begin wherever, go nuts. Whole point in doing stuff like this is to get stuff you've been bottling out in the open, so it doesn't matter if it's coherent even. Maybe a question will be a good start;
>how does thinking of yourself as male make you feel?
>how does thinking of yourself as female make you feel?
>Think into the future and imagine yourself as an old man. How does that make you feel?
>Now do the same for an old woman. How does that make you feel?

So to give you an example, I feel empty if I think of myself as male. I just can't piece myself together when I look at myself that way, the best I can come up with is some kind of actor, someone playing a guy and struggling with it a great deal. When I think of myself as female I guess something just clicks, I'm the same person but I suddenly make sense. I don't hate myself as much, I can look forward rather than have all my energy go on maintaining some facade of 'male'. It feels liberating.
Now try it yourself, write a little out about how you feel

life's hard enough if you're not aiming for some unattainable standard.
don't become a filthy fucking tranny. all respect for trans people is fake and you know it

Well on some level, most respect is fake.
Really? Wasn't that only for 18 and lower?
I gotta go now, but I'll write it up later.

Usually bone growth finishes later than other parts of puberty

If I knew what you looked like I'd be able to tell you if it's a waste of time or not.
