/ftm/ - Female-to-Male

Very good video, thanks for sharing.

I think it's good to keep in mind that just because it makes it easier to want to live, it doesn't necessarily make it easier to live, depending on how stealthy you are, the laws and stigma where you live, the mistakes you could make, and what not.

You really can't escape the way you were born even if you miraculously became cis male overnight, and it sucks.

That said, I don't think I could live my whole life depressed in a female body without intentionally shortening it, but my depression was so bad I had one friend that I never really spoke to, I almost dropped out of college, never worked a day in my life, and I was ugly as shit. They say boys are better at being girls, and that may be true some of the time but I sure wasn't. My hair was always greasy and frizzy with split ends, no makeup with terrible acne and manface, never showered or brushed my teeth, never shaved, and I dressed like I was homeless. I never spoke, never smiled, was perpetually angry at life while at the same time dead inside. I was pretty much a female neckbeard. I definitely think transition was worth it in my case.
