So, You think you might be trans? Now what?

*positive advice only here* disclaimer main focus on transmasc (enby inclusive but I'm a man So...)

Research is key. Here's some things I reccommend

Youtubers (yt) : JammiDodger, MilesMckenna, Noahfinnce, UppercaseCHASE1, Aaron Ansuini, Ash Hardell, Jake Edwards, Kovu Kingsrod, TheRealAlexBertie

TV: Emmerdale- Matty Barton on yt. Waterloo Road (tw does apply but very good if you can access) - Casey Barry S8 EP18,19,21,23 (main) & Martin- S7EP2 on BBC and maybe youtube. Druck S3 yt. Degrassi (old one) - Adam Torres S10 Ep15/16 (main) yt

Scrolling through the tags on here is (mostly useful) focus on tips don't focus on negativity or misguidance.

Tips I have to share

Examples of Dysphoria/Euphoria (not all are needed but maybe a couple): being uncomfortable looking in mirror, being confortable looking in mirror when closer to what's right, having some sort of discomfort/unease/disconnect with a "gendered part of body", feeling at ease when hiding/changing that part, feeling like trash/wrong when someone calls you wrong name/pronouns, feeling happy/right when called right name/pronouns, hating things associated with assigned gender, loving things associated with your gender

BINDING IS NOT SAFE WHEN: done for more than 8 hours, exercising, too small, not GC2B/Spectrum/Underworks (I reccomend gc2b.) Save up it's worth it. Also Reccomend full body if larger size but both work.

For me packing is great but not for everyone. Sometimes packing is good especially if you can't bind for whatever reason obviously there are options (UppercaseCHASE1) but socks or smthn similar work too

Ways to look more masc: Take Zinc, Chew gum regularly, Shave face semi often & use aloe or jojoba oil on beard and eyebrows, pay attention to male mannerisms and try to copy, look at ways to deepen voice Remember Tumblr is one of the best places to look for these things!!! Ignore anyone trying to invalidate take your time work out what the right things for you to do are

Try these things see what works and doesn't, experiment with close friends or strangers online. If at any time something doesn't feel right give it time (month or two) and try something else. Doesn't neccessarily mean not trans. It's okay to be not quite sure but please dont start hrt if theres a risk of you regrettting it. If multiple don't feel good maybe you aren't trans maybe it's something else don't give up looking.

If anyone wants to reblog and add anything it would be appreciated.

Can I have advice on coming out when your an age where people would say it’s a phase? Only if you want. Sorry for being annoying lol

Oh goodness anon you’re not being at all annoying !! Firstly you’re not a pain for talking to me about lgbt+ stuff ( I need gay content ) .

Ok so I came out April 2017 and my family were completely accepting ( took a bit of time for some but we’re good now ) it was rather myself that wondered if I was going through a phase .

I had so many panic attacks thinking ‘oh god what if I’m faking it etc ‘ . I obviously wasn’t and I have come to terms with the fact I’m hella gay .

As far as others thinking it’s a phase , please try your hardest not to take this to heart . Think of it as ‘ they’re in the phase of not understanding ‘ . I first came out as bi which a family member didn’t understand and almost dismissed the fact that I like females as well , I then came out as pan as I thought ‘ well f-you I happen to like people ‘ and then I recently ( couple weeks ago ) came out as a lesbian and it feels so much better then my other labels . It fits . It’s me .

As far as the coming out part , make sure you’re safe first . If you’re safe maybe then test the waters . I’m not very good at coming it ideas , I kind of fell head first out the closet three times and managed to get a concussion

Stay strong to your heart darling as only you know you . You know who and what you like so sod everyone else . You are you for a reason so bloody well own it ! In the mean time try to surround yourself with as many inspiring creators online etc. I’ll list a few

This list is from memory so I might have gotten a few identities incorrect and I’m so sorry about that !! I started identities to make it quicker if someone needs support .

Mileschronicles - trans boi Ally Hills - lesbian queen Dodie Clarke - bisexual princess MacDoesIt - gay creator Stevi Bobbi - lesbian creator Dan and phil ( obviously ) Strangeaeons - lesbian creator Tyler Oakley - gay influencer Queer eye ( Netflix show , pssst you can probably find clips on YouTube but I don’t condone that obviously ) Ellen DeGeneres ( my queen ) Shane Dawson - bi King Rylan Adams - absolute queen 👑 Garret watts - gay af Asante the artist - asexual Arielle Scarcella - lesbian with important vidsAsh Hardell - lgbtq+ expert Bria and Chrissy - adorable lesbian coupleBrooke Makenna - positive creator Elenor Neale - bisexual creator Elle of the mills - bisexual creator Heartfelt humour - funny content JammiDodger - trans man with trans content Julia Zelg - Lesbian fashion ( pastel goth ) Kovu is a unicorn - lgbtq+ content Ladylike - queer ladies are included !
