From my understanding that's pretty rare. Also know plenty of cis women who've gotten that from age and/or childbirth.

It's pretty crazy how transphobes (and especially TERFs) will use the idea that society hates feminity and accuse transmascs of transitioning to escape those constraints and stigma (ignoring the fact that being trans puts a lot of stigma on you). All the while accusing trans women of doing it to prey on women and other ridiculous accusations. Can't win either way, in their eyes.
I'm a binary trans man. I haven't expierenced the things that you're talking about. I definitely agree that there's a transfemme-centric point of view both on Lemmy and the wider trans discourse, but I have confronted that many times and people have always been open to listen to my expierence as a trans man.
I'm sorry that people have treated you unkindly and invalidated your expierences in the past. That sucks. It doesn't mean that's a universal thing that trans men expierence, though.
Whoops, transed my gender:
I'm biologically FireWire
Visiting home for the holidays. Mixed feelings.
Title (based)
E specifically is linked to migraines, not T. Definitely think my body is more sensitive to it than average.
I feel ya, I used to be passively suicidal as well. I dreaded every aspect of the future because each passing day meant that my body would continue to develop in the incorrect alignment with my brain. Now the future feels much more manageable even though things are far from perfect. Each passing day means that my body gets closer and closer to being my own and that's really helped me.
New permanent freckles were not what I was expecting to get after coming on T. I feel neutrally about them.
Seems like my skin recovers less quickly from sunburn, but that could just be getting older.
Yup, biochemical dysphoria is real. Estrogen just about killed me. Always had two weeks out of every month where I'd get crazy depressed for no discernable reason. I then took estrogen a while ago to stop mensuration while T did its magic and I initially had a terrible reaction to it. Made me extremely and irrationally depressed, gave me migraines, felt like shit all the time. Since being on T and getting off that E I haven't expierenced anything like that.
I'm a binary trans man, 19 years old. Been about a year on T. Socially transitioned a while ago. Shaving my face gives me gender euphoria. Also building fires for some reason. I'm from the deep south US. I wanna see more trans masculine content and perspectives on here cuz the population is overwhelmingly transfemme. My hobbies include tinkering with Linux and computers, audio production, drawing, cooking, and tomfoolery. Want to get into outdoors stuff more.
