Even without being trans, life is not worth living. Everyone has always told me life would be hard, they're right. Its too hard and not worth it. There's nothing redeeming. Its just suffering. I don't want to suffer another 30 or 40 fucking years.

i don't know why I can't work up the nerve to just do it. i have a method. I've wanted it for years. Why the fuck can't I just do it and get it over with. I guess I keep hoping life will turn around for me, but it won't. I think being trans really seals it for me. I don't think people understand that. People don't seem to understand why killing myself is preferable to this. I don't understand whats so hard to understand. Clearly something about it just hits different for me. The alienation from others, my ruined body, idk. Nothing i say makes anyone understand. How is this a life worth having. Its misery and pain. Its endless. All i can think about right now is shooting myself.


Whatever, if I'm going to make another stupid post like this I should at least make an attempt to explain what exactly is so horrible about being trans. Even without being trans I still have no real interest in sticking it out but it is one of the main tangible things I can point to.

Complete alienation from everyone else. No one understands or sympathizes. Most people support forcing us to suffer like this. How fucking horrible is it to live in a society that wants to mutilate you. Who's people want to refuse you healthcare. People understand the damage, they understand it perfectly fucking well when its trans men on T. People everywhere will look at me like a removed freak, since I don't pass. Even other queer people don't understand. I'm going to lose my family. Good luck getting a job as a removed with no education or qualifications.

My body is destroyed. Destroyed by T, destroyed by depression. I have always hated my voice. I can hardly speak sometimes. It hurts every time I talk. I don't make any other noise. I don't sing, I don't hum, I don't do anything but speak when I need to. Voice training is a special circle of hell and I can't. Between that and my fucking ridiculous height I will never pass. I will always be a freak. I will never be happy with my genitals. Facial hair is awful. I truly lost the plot when ts came in. "oh just shave, lots of women shave, whatever" you don't understand. No one does. I truly don't understand how no one gets it. How no one can get that this is hell.


honestly even without the trans shit I'd still want to die. there's nothing here worth doing this for. its the nail in coffin. its always going to be there, its always going to cause me pain. so much pain. i want it to stop and there's only one way how

self harmWhile I'm venting again may as well say this: I really want to cut myself. I remember what it feels like and I want that again.

Maybe this isn't helpful, but obviously life is very hard as a cis man. I can't imagine the difficulty in being trans nowadays. I can only read about it.

Also maybe not helpful, but you're literally my favourite type of person. I'd take one of you over a hundred normies.

I'd wish you stay here, safe and healthy, to fight with us here. I want you around, healthy, safe, comfortable, and happy.

Sorry if this text is all garbage.

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yea exactly. Its already hard and shit without all the other stuff.

What type of person do you mean?

Its not, thank you.

[–] ButtBidet@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

What type of person do you mean?

Someone with empathy. A real sense of humour. Someone that reads and knows what is actually happening in the world. Someone who isn't asleep and is blind to all the real world horrors happening know.

Most cis white people I know are just a breath away from Nazis. I wish I was exaggerating.

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's not as impassable as your depression and anxiety make it seem. HRT melts a lot, not all, of these issues away. Of course there is discrimination, but you shouldn't live life on 'what ifs'. Especially you shouldn't consider suicide when you haven't tried what you truly want. What if it brings you a great deal of relief and you left this world not knowing?

cat-trans stay in there girl

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How does hrt get rid of a lot of these issues? These all seem like things hrt doesn't help with at all. It's not a what if? Cis people literally are just that way. What I want isn't possible.

I have been wanting hrt but so depressed it's been impossible to actually get it ordered. Plus worried about family. People keep telling me I shouldn't get on it yet while I'm dependant.

I'm trying, thank you.

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Transitioning and being transitioned for a long time makes you feel less like your body is destroyed, unfixable, etc. I don't feel this way anymore myself. We don't really need cis people's approval. Most people think you're cis and treat you that way, which can be annoying even when they gender you right sometimes.

HRT made me not depressed. Like it completely removed it as a factor. This is ymmv territory, some of my family was physically abusive over it but it didn't make me feel worse, weirdly. I do think my anxiety got worse due to the social aspects but I didn't ever feel depressed or suicidal since despite my other comorbidities

[–] Alisu@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Since a few weeks ago, all I can think about is how to get hrt. But wow, is it hard to do... I wish I could just waltz in some clinic and say gimme Estrogen and then they do some health checks and some time later boom estradiol injections, or any type IDC. But I have to fear being mistreated and judged, I have to expose myself to potential humiliation and judgement to go through some processes for a year before getting anything, it's rough... But I WILL go through, just existing is enough of a fuck you to anyone who hates us. I will not let them get what they want, I'll have what I want.

Informed consent let's you walk in and do it in like 15 minutes

[–] Alisu@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There's lots of rules about this here. I gotta have a year with psychological treatment and with an endocrinologist (this one makes 0 sense). On the upside I can get free treatment including all the meds

DIY is a thing if you need recs lmk

[–] Alisu@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Kinda do. I couldn't find anywhere that ships here, (as I'm not in the US, or Europe) when I tried to look

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hrtcafe search for Rose ships from France to world

[–] Alisu@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

I did find one that ships. But it's a little on the expensive side for me, I can afford it, but shipping is heavily monitored for people not paying import taxes, and I'm afraid of having my package not delivered.

I'll be trying to get a prescription normally, if it really takes a long time, I'll just buy that I guess.

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sorry if not make sense kinda in dangerous situation medically just love helping my people lol

[–] Alisu@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

Thanks for helping out ♡

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I hope so. The things that upset me the most seem the least likely/possible to change. People viewing me as I want to be is important for me. It's not because I need to be valid in their eyes, but because I personally don't want to look/sound like a man. I need to pass to be comfortable with myself.

I hope it does the same for me. I keep telling myself I'm going to get it and then that not happening. Idk what my problem is. I know we started talks a year ago atp and I still haven't gotten it. I have what I need I'm just stupid or something.

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

You're not stupid cat-trans

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I really want you to have queer and trans people in your life that allow you to find strength in numbers, secure safer spaces, commiserate when it comes to it, and have a deep rapport that only can come from going through the same kind of struggle.

I'm not trans but I have dozens of trans friends IRL and I see them having something like this and I want that for you.

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have two queer people in my life, honestly useless as shit when it comes to this. Fucking cis people. Knowing some trans people would be nice though. idk if they could deal with me though. I'm too negative. Also like, it'd be nice, but it obviously doesn't fix a lot of the reasons I want to kill myself

holy fuck idk if I've had dozens of friends total in my whole stupid life

sorry and thank you.

[–] mrfugu@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Sorry I’m trying to think of good advice to help you find more trans/queer friends or at the very least some understanding people for you to lean on. Feel free to ignore this but just some ideas I could come up with:

  • Get into fighting games and go to local meet ups. You don’t have to be good, the fgc is always looking to indoctrinate new blood.
  • Get into your local electronic music scene
  • anime conventions
  • volunteer with local queer orgs
  • If you don’t already, move to a city with at least two gay bars. One will likely be full of white gays and the other will be cool.

if you live in the mid-west usa reply or send me a DM I’ll have more specific advice.

You are worthy of love and support.

Do NOT look for friends on dating apps of any kind you’re going to have a bad time.

Hey I'm nobody, but I don't think you should hurt yourself. I hope the act of posting this let you blow off some steam. I'm here for you if you want to chat as I'm sure many of us are.

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It does help, yea.

I don't know how much more there is to say. Life is miserable. Knowing how people view me (both like, physically how I am and how they view trans people). Just want to kill myself. I'm always going to be trans and its always going to be a source of pain. More pain then I can possibly describe. Life truly just isn't worth living.

[–] AtmosphericRiversCuomo@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fwiw, not everyone views trans people like that.

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Most people do though. Even "allies".

Most people want to force us through the wrong puberty and don't think our surgeries should be covered. Allies talk about how we aren't changing our sex, or that we should still be counted differently in some way. People think we are icky and gross. god I should go find some "ally" posts.

You aren't thought of as your gender unless you pass. I've come out to a bunch of people, some queer even, its obvious they don't see me as a woman. They would not treat me this way if I was. Maybe some small % of people are actually good, and supportive and whatever else but I hate how a lot of people view us, even if they aren't outright calling for genocide. There's a lot of people who aren't actively hateful but still shit. I'm probably not explaining what I mean well. Sorry

[–] AtmosphericRiversCuomo@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nah it's cool. I get what you're saying.

In my experience, one of the things that struck me along my gender journey was seeing trans people that don't "pass" by traditional standards, that kinda dont gaf and still rocking their girl vibe even with stubble or a deep voice or whatever.

I dunno, it really changed my mind about things and made me think the whole gender thing is really getting chipped away.

Just trying to offer a different perspective.

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I wish I could be happy like them.

Yea, honestly I don't think you get my issues either. Those things make me want to kill myself regardless of anyone else. Sitting in my room alone with stubble and a deep voice makes me want to die. Being around others just makes it worse.

thanks for trying

I'm sorry. I do hope you can come to some kind of peace about it.

I was in this same boat for a long, long time. The only thing that saved me was entirely replacing my social circle with other trans folks. It's become a space where I truly know they perceived me as a woman. If you want suggestions, gay bars or [local area] discord server. Once you meet a couple trans folks, it spiderwebs from there, most of us know a ton of other trans folks. If you don't want suggestions, you have my sympathy and love. You will find a better life, one that you find worth living.

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

I still can't drive so a gay bar is kinda out atm. No one in the discord is close enough to me. Thank you for the suggestions though. I hope so, and I hope it happens quickly. This fucking sucks right now.
