8) How do you deal with being read mis-genderd in the beginning of transitioning by people?

Sadly I am still at the very beginning of my transition. As much as it annoys me when people assume that I'm a chick- I am slowly coming to terms with the fact that I don't even see myself as passing yet. Though sadly I feel like I'm stuck in limbo since I don't see myself as a girl fortunately. But not so much a guy yet. But meh, appearances change over time. Once I'm further into my transition I'm sure that I'll feel better and more confident about that.

Right now I'm still living off of girl's skinny jeans which make me feel like a chicken. Along

30 Day Trans Challenge: Day 16

16) What's your rock anthem and why?

Tough one….
"The Motions- Matthew West: Because it hits home with the depression and the feelings that I felt for so long with not understanding what was wrong with me…Truthfully, Their music among with many other songs help me fight through my negative emotions when they dare to bother me. I'm usually not the most unhappy of teenagers, in fact I try my best to be cheerful and happy in order to help motivate the ones I care about around me so they'll be happy too... Because if anything, seeing people even strangers being upset or crying just makes me want to do anything to help cheer them up an

30 Day Trans Challenge: Day 5

5) Are you active in the trans community or LGBT community

This'll be a rather short day but here we go.

I am not yet as active in the community as I would like to be but I plan on changing that. I mean, I only just introduced myself to the LGBT community one day one of this meme. To be honest, I was so freaking surprised on all of the feedback I got for it too. Not that I'm not thankful for it- I truly am.

It's kind of funny though because the day before I found this 30 day Challenge, I was feeling extremely depressed and upset. I didn't know any other people who I could relate to or were like me in any way. I felt so alone and upset, con

30 Day Trans Challenge: Day 6

6) Who was the first person you told about being trans

Well I know this question only asks who the first person I told- I may as well say a few since otherwise the question would have a 3 syllable answer. lol.

The first few people I told were all very good friends of mine. Three who I know in person and two others who I know over the internet. Though I didn't tell them face to face because I sometimes have trouble communicating important and serious things with my voice. Their names are Jayden, Jordan, Madi, Sammy, and Andrea.

Yes Andy I put you last soak it up. xD

But after telling them, I was happy to know that they all understood and w

30 Day Trans Challenge: Day 7

7) Who do you look up to?

There are many people I look up to for different reasons. I look up to my friends who accept me for who I am and have supported me through some really difficult times.

But as far as who do I look up too in the trans Community? Well, I'm so very new to it, that I'm not entirely sure. I mean, the first person who I actually got to talk to online who is a Transguy was Marcus, I found him on his Youtube called Dearkitona. He seemed really cool and he has this timeline that I could relate to so much it made me cry.

Because I'm a baby, shut your mouth.

Hmm....who else...

My sister. She is so incredibly strong

30 Day Trans Challenge: Day 3-4

3)"Have you ever been outed?"

No not yet, And hopefully not ever. I mean sometimes it's hard to pass for me since I have yet to go shopping for guy clothes let alone a binder. //le sigh

So most of the time I just come off as a tom boy for most. Hopefully that'll get better..

4)"How did your family take it when you came out/ if you're not out, why aren't you?"

Well; after talking it over with a handful of supportive friends over facebook that I know in person and a few online- I told my mum. I started out with asking how she felt when my big brother (I mentioned before) came out to her- stating that he was gay when he was 16. After we talk

30 Day Trans Challenge: Day 10

10)What are some of your fears in regard to being trans*?

Well, being outed in an unsafe place is definitely one. I mean, it's one thing being outed at school or a party (lol like I go to parties) or some similar shit, but what about being outed in the locker room, or the washroom? It's not like I've never been in a fight or anything before, but people get touchy when it comes to their "privacy" and I don't want to get the shit beat out of me because of some stupid reason.

Or just at times I'm afraid I'm not passing at all...Although since my friends mother butchered my hair and cut most of it off I pass alot more...I guess I shouldn't be t

30 Day Trans Challenge: Day 15

15) How have you embraced your trans identity?

This question is a bit vague, but I'll do my best.

Pretty much the biggest thing is: I've stopped fighting it. I've tried to stop wishing things were some other way, because they're not. This is the lot I got in this life and wanting it to be otherwise only makes me despair. In fact, I'm proud to say that I'm trans. I'm finally happy with myself because I am no longer afraid to stray far beyond the life styles of my peers. They all act alike and if anyone falls out of line they're usually discriminated and made fun of. I find that unfair and ridiculous. Kids should be able

30 Day Trans Challenge: Day 14

14) What are some of your passing tips or things you do to pass?

Uhmm…Wow I'm not really sure how to answer this to be honest. I should have the word "noob" plastered to my back. Lol. But uh, one of the things that really helped me was my haircut. Getting a good masculine haircut helps(though I don't think that my haircut is any bit masculine.) Be careful, having short hair does not mean that it's masculine, there's certain things that you must do, or it will just look like a pixie cut. But you don't need to just go to a barber and pick out the MANLIEST HAIRCUT EVER. Because in my opinion you should still act like yourself and pick out

30 Day Trans Challenge: Day 13

13) Bathrooms

Well as much as I'd prefer using the mens now, I'm still not passing enough and kinda freak out when I have to choose. It's just awkward for me, for example I was at the mall with my brother and we took a trip to the restroom and I paused outside of them- just standing there awkwardly, trying to figure out which one I should enter. But it was embarrassing since people were around me so I rushed to the girls room.

So yeah, once my binder gets here in the mail I'll probably take a few trips in there to build up courage. But till then I just avoid public stall bathrooms because it freaks me out. Oh lol I'm ridiculous I know. Tho

30 Day Trans Challenge: Day 12

12)What are you doing to stay healthy for transitioning mentally and physically?

I'm not as healthy physical wise as I need to be for the transition. I want to start lifting weights, jog, do active nice stuff... To be honest, I really enjoy working out and being active, But it's just been rather frustrating for me as of late since it's been a really windy and rainy spring and I don't want to go outside even if it killed me. Hah. But after one little trip to the gym with a friend I can see a little arm muscle growth which is sooo amazing~ So if I work on keeping that sort of thing up it'll be easier to go out and do things like that.

My mu

30 Day Trans Challenge: Day 9

9)What is something positive about being trans*?

Well, I get to be myself and that's definitely positive! I don't really think there's anything positive about it besides being able to live your life the way you always should have. Not that there's anything negative about it, per se, it's just… hard. Y'know?

Another positive about being trans, (in my opinion) is that it sort of opened me up to this whole new world. I like that I learned so much about all the different ways people can be, and I don't know this for sure, but I might not have realized that to the extent that I do now if I wasn't trans. Also, I have met some really wonderf

30 Day Trans Challenge: Day 25-27

25)What are your doctor/therapist visits like?

Well I actually haven't met my counselor yet. But I'll probably write about it if anything interesting comes up when I go to our first meeting next week.

26)Do you feel comfortable answering questions about being trans* if say your teacher/friend/stranger asked you?

I would be fine with answering questions from a friend or teacher, or really anyone I know personally, as long as they were polite about it. If they were asking out of genuine curiosity then I think that's good, and I want to be able to tell people about trans* issues since most don't understand them. but if they just thought being

30 Day Trans Challenge: Day 28

28)What is something you do daily to feel comfortable with yourself?

Call myself Kyle. Draw myself as a male. Mess around with my itty bitty new wardrobe and act boyish. I also just… talk to my friends here on dA. becauseImforeveralone sobsobsob.

I Have a not so secret obsession with hair. I really like to try new styles or dyeing my own hair and stuff like that- So in other words I never leave the house without styling it the way I want that day. OTL. I dyed it today actually, PURPLE CHECKERS. But I'm also obsessive with skin care and I guess just basic hygiene. Because I'm a teenager and my skin is like, "DFSDHDFHTDHTYH" randomly out

30 Day Trans Challenge: Day 16-24

17) What's your binding choice and why?
Well my one and only binder is 997 at Underworks and it's really comfy and works really well.Though since its like a wifebeater, it likes to roll up abit sometimes which pisses me off. XD;;

18) How do you feel about the trans laws where you live?
Well the only one that I can name off the top of my head is that StarBucks have in their policy that they don't hire Transgendered people. But uh, I don't really know any other than that.
19) If your religious how do your views effect being trans if your not religious what about your family religions?
Well like I mentioned a long while back, my entire fami

30 Day Trans Challenge: Day 11

11)"How do you manage dysphoria?"

Well, I guess it kind of depends on the situation. What most transguys get dysphoric about is that certain time of the month, but not me… anymore, anyway. Think of it like this: it's like getting a gunshot wound in your junk, slapping a bandaid on it and going about life for an entire week as per usual. Now that is incredibly manly!

But other things that I've done when I'm feeling upset and dysphoric- is to listen to alot of music. For some reason bands like Blue Stahli and Billy Talent make me feel worse though...So I usually end up listening to the soundtrack from Across the Universe or just Dubstep. Or sleep...Or just so simple exercise.

Because I'm really self conscious about my hips,thighs, and butt. My chest is small and I don't really pay much attention to it...Hah. I don't really have bottom dysphoria much, but I always point out to myself, my big hips, breasts, girly facial structure, voice, thighs, curves, all of that. But yeah for those days I'm usually just sleeping it off or whoring my lonelyitis on DeviantArt.

Of course, no matter what I physically change about myself, at the end of the day I still feel different, which blows. I just have to keep reminding myself that no matter what, I'm 100% male- even if I'm missing a few things.

I just try to go on with my life… although ice cream helps. I fucking love ice cream.

My one friend is trans, and he was constantly made fun of last year and was so asjdfkl</3 over it. Depression's not cool, yo. :u

~Ynne666 Sep 1, 2012 Student General Artist

I'm just reading this meme of yours and well, I have to admit you're really brave

I'm gonna show it all to my best friend (her situation is quite similar, but she's not 100% sure yet, she's still... you know, she's "identifying" herself, slowly finding the right path for her), your experiences and thoughts might help her a lot.

~mqpixie Apr 1, 2012

1. Glad I'm not the only one "whoring my lonelytits" on DA (great terminology btw) 2. Have you tried the mint Dibs? They make my mouth super happy!!!
