▲ 165 r/trans

Mother is saying I'm not old enough to know I'm trans. I'm almost 21.

She says I go through a lot of phases, such as wearing a lot of makeup, being goth, or learning Japanese. That I need more experience to know if I'm really a boy. She says I may change my mind and that this is too young to make a lifelong decision. I told her I have known this is who I am since I was 16, I just only recently decided I had to do something about it. I'm just super upset and in need of support. She is a liberal, and was absolutely fine with me coming out as a lesbian. This has all been a real shock.

Edit: also she wants to talk to my therapist...
& I would say "accept it or we can't talk", but I still live with her (I'm a mechanical engineering student so I can't work more than part time during the school year)

Binders for flatter chests??

Does anyone else have a chest that still makes them insecure but are flat enough to where binders sometimes make them look larger? This is my issue. I just don't want to add any bulk to it. I'm like 32 inches around. They are still visibly two hunks of meat with a shirt on. Sports bras make me feel like a girl and not flat enough.

3 years into recovery!

I'm 3 years into recovery this month. I'm so glad I recovered and stayed recovered! This is the longest I've ever been recovered for. I am weight restored and then some. I've also been able to manage my AN-related chronic illness well! And I will probably go on testosterone soon, hopefully this will make me feel better about gaining weight (a big reason why I restricted was to avoid looking like a woman). I'm really proud and excited of what is to come.

Does anyone else get anxiety watching WIEIAD videos?

Title. I don't watch them and feel I need to restrict, I just get a lot of anxiety. Especially if it's foods that I think are high calorie or high sugar. I just get so stressed out and can't watch it. Does this happen to anyone else? I figure it's from my (recovering) AN.
