Sexually frustrating

The first 24-48 hours after a weekly testosterone shot are the most sexually frustrating.

New Facebook account

I created a completely new facebook account and only added people who already knew I was ftm

Continue being feminine?

I have always portrayed myself as a feminine girl, believing that being feminine would make me feel right about my gender. Now that I am coming out as a trans guy, everyone doesn't seem to believe me because I have always been "girl-like". Sometimes I wonder if I should just continue pretending since I have already been doing that all my life.

Partner having a hard time

My partner seemed fine with my changes to begin with and would be really happy to see new changes, but recently she has been having a hard time with it all and I think she is no longer attracted to me. I don't know what to do.

Scared to death

I am scared to death about starting Testosterone, but I’m also so excited that I can hardly contain myself.

Reclusive

As I grow older, I become a lot more reclusive. I figure that I rather stay in my room and fantasize about what could have been than to face reality of being born female.

Wrong

Sometimes I can't breathe, the crushing thoughts of just 'wrong' repeated over and over. It scares me.

Wrong field

i'm cracking my head to search for a suitable job. i have a degree in science field, but people doesn't seems to be able to accept a trans person in that field, sometimes i just felt i have choosen the wrong field to study.

Misgendering - Part 2

In response to my original post about not blaming others for misgendering you when you don't pass:

I don't mean people who know about your ftm status and yet refuses to use the right pronouns.

I am talking about ftms who complain when strangers use female pronouns. How would they know better when you still look like a butch??
