Hysterectomy in Singapore?

Hi all,

Wanna ask if anyone did their hysterectomy in Singapore & whether they are able to get the letter for gender marker change after the procedure. Does doing it under Self-sterilization Act make any difference?

Thanks.

Not a princess but a Knight

The first time I really realized that I didn't want to be seen as a girl was back in grade four drama class when we were readying for our year-end production...that year it was The 12 Dancing Princesses. I always dressed in boy clothing, cut my hair as short as my parents let me, was into traditionally masculine things, but it was during this time that I really realized how badly I felt being seen as a girl.

My teacher had assigned me the role as one of the princesses and I asked if I could be a knight instead (because come on, knights are awesome). She told me that all the girls were to play the girls and that the guys would play the guys...that didn't go over well with me. I begged and pleaded, not wanting to be stuck in a dress that would no doubt make me feel uncomfortable and sick...but she didn't listen.

Honestly, I wanted to brush off being trans for so long by hiding behind the label of genderfluid, but it just wasn't right. Now I have to deal with being a strong believer in God that wants to be the man that I believe he intended to be when everyone in my family; nearly everyone I know, says it is sinful and wrong.

You tell me what's sinful here: forcing that little kid to wear that dress; to be forced by society to be a 'proper young lady', or letting that little kid be who they want to be. I'm still that kid...I'm still being forced into that role of a princess when I am a knight...now go on and tell me how being who I am is sinful.

What I do not like wearing

I already dress the way I would if I would transition, I think. It's not particularly manly, or even boyish. I love mini shorts to no end. What I do not like wearing, is my body, my face, my voice, my everyone-knows-i'm-a-woman. I want to be able to wear these same clothes and this same hair, but with a body of a man. Is it weird? I feel like I should feel more, I feel like I should feel the need to be more, always more manly and more boyish. On bad days I dress more boyish, to hide the feelings of dysphoria from myself. Is it weird. Am I weird

This is what transition looks like for me

It bugs me so much when other guys assume I'm new to being trans just because I've only been on T for 8 months. Time on T does not equal time out of the closet!! I have been living full time as a man for years, I have my name legally changed, I navigate in male spaces seamlessly. My choice to wait to be on T has in no way delayed my transition. This is what transition looks like for me, it's different for everyone. There is not one right way/order/time to transition. It's all individual.

Grope

I really wish I was flat-chested so that I could look good in all my clothes. The problem's that I like groping my own boobs.

My abuser hated transmen

My abuser hated trans men. They hated me for being a trans man. Every day they'd yell at me. Don't I know nonbinary people and trans women have it worse, what do I have to complain about.

Sometimes I still feel I have to hate trans men and myself for being one. But I hate more that every safe space we ever had got swamped by people just like my abuser.

Advice for a Malaysian hoping to start HRT in Singapore?

hi guys, I'm from Malaysia and looking forward to start my testosterone therapy in singapore.

I know I need a letter from a therapist before any T shots. But I'd like to get some suggestions from here about the best prices or places for me to get my T.

Heard about Dr Tsoi but I'm not a Singaporean citizen so hope someone here can enlighten me about what I should do. 

Love-hate chest

Not sure if any ftm have this same feelings as me. I appreciate and like my larger chest when im with men i have interest in. I hate my larger chest when im with all women. Confusing...advice pls

So close yet so far...

So I'm going to an endocrinologist... but it's not for hormones. It's for my messed up thyroid. My mom is taking me and I'm still not out to her as trans for safety reasons. I just find it cruel and ironic that I'm going to the doctor that could save me but I can't say anything. What I want will be in front of me but I can't reach out. It makes me feel helpless, hopeless, and disgusting.

Family pressured me

I came out as trans and the pressure my family put on me was just so much. Every day they pivoted between making me less trans and forcing me into transitioning before I was ready and it was so stressful. I got so scared every time my mum wanted to have a serious talk because it was always trying to force me one way or the other. Eventually I lied, said it was just a phase and said i wasnt trans after all and i hate it. i hate being a girl i hate my birth name but what do i do when ill never be taken seriously

Losing hope

i'm losing hope. i came out, and while my friends have been supportive to their abilities, i lost my partner over it. i live in a small town, and my family is not very supportive, so i'm constantly being misgendered in public, by my friends, and at home. my mental illnesses have been so debilitating that i'm not in school and i haven't been able hold a job. i don't have any interests that motivate me for the future, there's nothing i want to do except run away. all i can think about is how complicated it is being trans to protect yourself legally, like switching your gender markers, changing your name, etc, and how it's going to take a long time before i could start T, and even longer trapped wearing a binder... i never wanted any of this. i didn't ask for this. i don't want this. i don't want to be alive anymore, and i don't know what to do.
