i'm ftm and I want to be a man. But people don't take me seriously because I'm not on T and I don't really pursue transitioning. I just know that if I have a male body, I would be happier and more comfortable with myself.

>I just know that if I have a male body, I would be happier and more comfortable with myself.

1) No, you don't. You've never had a male body. What you have is a bizarre fantasy.

2) Being a man sucks too.

>>5236391
Do you feel this want to be a man being more than a need would make your decision to transition more questionable? I'm asking because this is something I'm trying to figure out myself.

>>5236352
I am a girl, and I need to fix my body if I dont want to be a morbidly depressed sack of shit thats useless to society, only to suicide at 30.

you can say that's a want if you wish, but a lot is riding on it.

It's a want in the sense that it's something I strongly desire. It's a need in the sense that I don't think I could possibly live a tolerable life otherwise

>>5236477
It certainly sounds like a need when it becomes a matter of life and death. I can't imagine a better reason to transition.

>>5236419
to be honest, im not sure if it's a want or a need. But I could press a button that would magically turn me into a man, I'd do it.

>>5236413
fuck off trutrans.

>>5236352
mtf here, more of a want for me. Sometimes a deep and painful want/longing.

>>5236352
>>5239452
Also, I thought I would mention that I really like that picture.

I've been trying to find a reason to not kill myself for years now. This is the solution that I've come to. At least that much of it is a need.

>>5236352
I guess a want, since I don't need to live, I only want to live, there's no actual real need for it.

>>5236352
Mtf. Irrepressible need, but by the standards of this board, I'm late. Transbian hon, amirite?
Would have done it in my teens, it may have been more of a want, I guess.

>>5239522
>>5239522
Nothing is a need by this standard.

>>5236352
for me its more of a need. i feel like a girl and i need to correct that so i am a girl physically. i need both myself and other people to see me as a girl. if i cant achieve this - i will end my life as i cant see why it would be worth living being a miserable, depressed pathetic excuse for a human being

>>5239522
Most people would argue that it is a need to live. Can you address the question again with that consideration in mind?

need. now that i'm on T I feel like i'll die if i'm not on it anymore

I consider myself female and transitioning is a must for me because I'll absolutely kill myself if I don't, and that chance is drastically reduced if I do.

life sucks

>>5242182
Well said, friend.

>>5236352
A BIG FAT COCK..
IN MY ASS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>5239941
Then, it'd be a need, I cannot imagine living a life as male.

For me it's just how I see my life going I guess. I try not to dwell on questions like this desu, they're not really productive and the reality of things is that I chose to transition and that's that. Being able to define who I am to the world and act through my morals is something I place above many things.

>>5236352
Need. Tried multiple times to kill myself before coming out.

>>5236391

I feel for you, a mtf before hormones at least get recognized as trans just by dressing and makeup. No matter how dudely you dress you'll get mam'd until facial hair.

But I guess it evens out at, testosterone will 100% make you at least pass for fourteen years old boy

I have a fear of the unknown. If I don't act now on my feelings, my hesitation could turn into suicide in ten years. It's a need to transition.

>>5236352
If I were trapped on an island with no access to my HRT, I would not kill myself because of it. It would, however, decrease my quality of life and contribute to my early death.

I know how to live an uncomfortable life and I can do it well, but while I do not need to, I am not.
