Would you give up on a relationship so you could transition?
I did. It held me back an extra 4 years in my transition.
I'm so much happier now though and have a new boyfriend who loves me (currently mid transition) so it all worked out in the end.
No I'm not a mentally ill freak of nature

Yea you right
>>5944556
How much better is your life now?
>>5944551
I'm not giving up on the lie I've built.
It's what I'm used to. Where I feel safe.
It took time to build this armour. I'm not giving it up.

>relationship
>implying
like how do people even do that
but yeah i'll be giving up on any hope of a future one, so you could look at it that way

I once loved someone who knew about my desire to transition. They were completely fine with it, but I couldn't be with them at the time due to school. I started dating a guy who went to my college. Was super sweet to me until I confessed to him my desire to be the real me. Couldn't date the other guy who accepted me because he was taken when we broke up. I started to transition soon afterwards and have been doing well for 2 years now. It's not an easy road, but honestly? Do it. Give up on it and go for it. You cannot be with someone who'll never love the real you. Though I am sad I missed an opportunity to be with my one true love, at least we're still in contact and I am who I always wanted to be for so long.

Thanks, I think I'm gonna go ahead and end it.
>>5944706
well, becareful. Yes, it was worth it for me, but maybe not for you? Do you love this person?
>>5944551
Not really have to take female hormones and hope it just doesn't disgust him if you're fem to begin with.
Too uncomfortable without meding.
But I'm sure not going good to call myself a girl, talk lime one or any of that shit. Maybe he'll let it slide if it's no great differencem then...
>>5944556
Nah, another guy.
I should probably mention I'm FTM, he basically said he wasn't gay so he would leave me if I did. So I stuck it out for a while and repressed.
>>5944579
Quite a lot better. I finally feel confidant in myself now anyway, whereas before I could tell most of my self worth came from my partner because I thought of myself as utter garbage/hated myself.
I did. No regrets.
>>5944551
I tried, twice. Both times he kept coming back to me and begging. It got to the point where he put aside his feelings and is letting me transition without contest, and since that was the only problem I had, I went back to him.
I know he still has a problem with it, and I know it won't last forever, but I'm just gonna see how long he hangs on for. He had the chance to go and be happy, so if this relationship is what he wants, then I'll give it to him.

>tfw he gives you the one arm bro-hug from the side, your head is now resting on his chest, and you realize how much weaker you are than him, but you feel so safe and at peace.
>tfw he comes over and pretends he had a bad day and just wanted someone to be around, you want to cheer him up by making him dinner, and while he's waiting he turns on a romantic movie but pretends it wasn't on purpose.
>tfw you fall asleep in his arms on the couch
I need to get laid.
