A figure, pondering, stands in front of a billboard with around 40 subscribed trans-related threadiverse communities. Captioned "But am I trans?"
Me, on HRT for 15+ years, post top-surgery: but am I really trans? 🤔
For clarity I’m happy with transitioning, the doubt just never fully went away for me. I even felt doubt as I walked into the OR, knowing I’d wanted top surgery since before I knew what it was! I think doubt just means you have a functioning brain that recognizes the dangers and social consequences of being trans. So I tell myself and congratulate myself on my self awareness, anyway.
I’m making a bit of an assumption based on “top-surgery”, which I interpreted to mean the chop, not augmentation. If that’s the case I’m glad you’re here! I’d be glad either way, but this slice of the internet is pretty dominated by trans femmes, and I’m always glad to see our siblings using this space too!!
Yup, trans dude here. There are dozens of us!! 😂
I keep seeing more of y'all which probably means I'm doing something right.

I would have to agree with you about that. A big part of the doubt for me is that I really only started questioning after reading about gender online, rather than online material simply confirming feelings I already had. But I also know that if I was truly cis, I probably would not still be questioning 8 months after first reading said material.

Rules on Comments
If a post is tagged with a specific gender identity, keep the conversation centered on that identity.
You must follow the Egg Prime Directive. You may not push or coerce people into identifying or not identifying a certain way. You must respect them as the gender they claim to identify as. In addition it is extremely in poor taste to make assumptions about other people's identities based on external factors, we understand it cannot be helped but it is best not to as it can affect the way you treat others in noticeable ways. Read more about this decision here.
No Ewwphoria posts. Posts which contain misogyny, misandry, transmisogyny, transmisandry, or enbyphobia for the purpose of expressing euphoria are not allowed here. At best they bring anger to others, and at worst they may trigger people's dysphoria. People who create such posts will have them removed and may be banned at moderator discretion.
Recommendations:
We strongly encourage you to include your pronouns in your account bio so that others know how to refer to you without misgendering you. If you're questioning or unsure of your pronouns, that's totally cool—just say so.
