Is It Normal To Feel Sort Of Weird When Wearing Clothes From The Gender You Identify With, But Not A

It’s hard being trans. It’s even harder when you can’t find a doctor. A new site hopes to fix that.

There’s a lot of talk about physical violence and employment discrimination against trans people, but there’s one aspect you don’t hear much about: health care.

According to 2011′s National Transgender Discrimination Survey, nearly 20% of survey respondents reported having been refused care because they’re transgender. More than 25% reported being harassed in a doctor’s office, and 50% had to actually educate their doctors on aspects of trans health care.

“I have been refused emergency room treatment even when delivered to the hospital by ambulance with numerous broken bones and wounds,” says one survey respondent.

But a group of four trans people have teamed up to provide a simple service: connect other folks with trans-friendly medical providers.

Is it possible for me to become a doctor in the United States if I'm a trans woman? I'm going into the medical field and that's my biggest concern.

Yes!! While there may be discrimination (because you’re a woman and because you’re trans), no one’s going to stop you. One of the hormone providers in my area is actually a trans woman, and I live in a pretty conservative area, so for sure it’s possible. 

If you are worried about discrimination/safety, and you pass well enough, you could go stealth so nobody knows you are trans while you work through med school and navigate the professional field. I would suggest getting your ID changed as soon as possible, if you haven’t already, so all your records are under the correct name. 

Followers who are in a professional field, any advice for anon?

How do I make my masculine walk more feminine?

Chrissi says:

This is really an important part of transition for trans feminine folks, and one gender therapists seem to forget. Here’s some steps that should help.

Focus your weight into your hips. Cismales tend to walk with their weight in their arms or stomachs. Think of a model walking a runway — her steps are light and her shoulders are back.

Swing your hips as you step. While an overly enthusiastic swing will certainly be noticeable, most ciswomen walk with a subtle hip swing. Practice by walking around your home and exaggerating the swing, then tone it down when you hit the street.

Slow it down. If you observe ciswomen in a shop or casual setting, or searching for a shiny Charizard, that was stolen from them at school (not bitter), you will notice that they tend to browse and meander. It’s not uncommon for a ciswoman to walk like she’s on a mission, but mimicking these browsing habits can make you appear more feminine.

Swing your arms gently and point your elbows in toward your torso. A light swing comes off as feminine, and turning the elbows results in creating a smaller silhouette.

Relax your muscles and allow your body to move more fluidly. If you’re wearing a wig, ensure it is secured so you can move your head freely. Rigid posture will make you appear more manly than feminine. Don’t relax too much though, or you’ll be sitting down, and this helps no one.

I know you didn’t ask but here’s a bonus:

Tips on walking in heels, a lot struggle, even ciswomen, and Princess Leia..

POSTURE: Heels pitch weight forward, so for balance, keep your head up and shoulders back. Tightening your core will offset some of the pressure on your feet. 

STEPS: Striding in a normal heel-to-toe motion can snap a stiletto or twist an ankle. Instead take short steps, going down evenly on the ball of the foot and heel. But remember heel-to-toe is the best way if you’re walking in sturdy heels.WEIGHT: As your weight shifts fully onto a foot, spread your toes in the shoe slightly; this will help to distribute the weight onto the ball of the foot. HIPS: When you’re feeling off-balance, you tend to stiffen up. For an easy, attractive momentum, let your hips swing in small, sideways, figure-eight motions.

These should help you appear more Kate Moss, and less Bambi on ice.

Much love

Amen... And even if they ask for forgiveness, you don't have to give it, especially if they fucked up your life so hard. There are certain people I will never forgive and I have my reasons, and that is no one's business besides my own.

Forgiveness isn’t a required part of healing for everyone. You aren’t required to forgive someone who abused you or bullied you in the past, even if they’ve changed now. You can start to come to terms with what happened to you and try to cope with it without forgiving the person who did it to you, and not forgiving someone doesn’t make you a bad person. 

Forgiveness is often portrayed as being the right moral choice, but it’s not morally wrong to do what’s best for you and your recovery. Sometimes, forgiveness can actually be detrimental to your healing, and being unforgiving can keep you safe. And some people don’t deserve to be forgiven, no matter how long it’s been.

And finally? Traumatized people shouldn’t be shamed for not forgiving the person who hurt them and instead be allowed to deal with their trauma in whatever way is the most helpful for them.

Who is this???

Wrong answers only

I had an idea similar to this but I like this idea better

film idea: two people of different genders swap bodies but one or both of them find that they actually like living life this way and the way they’re perceived by society in this other person’s body is actually really pleasing in a lot of ways- euphoric even. When they’re perceived as this other person they can behave in ways and enjoy hobbies that they would’ve been scolded for if they’d been read as their usual gendered selves.  However, they slowly realize that while the gendered aspects of their lives feel so much better, they’re still being expected to be someone else with a completely different life to them and they start to miss their family and friends.  The film culminates in them finding the other person in their body and doing whatever magical thing leads to them going back in to their original body and back to their friends and family, whom they then come out to as transgender, having learned a lot about themselves by how much they enjoyed living as someone of a different gender but still not wholly wanting to throw away the life they’d already established.  The film ends on a happy note with both protagonists wholly accepting themselves and never having to pretend to be someone else ever again - not the person they swapped bodies with nor the person everyone thought they were before the incident but wholly, truly themselves.
