r/transftm

I'm 15ftm and I recently came out to my parents. They're SUPER supportive and they're trying their best to make me feel the most comfortable I can. The main issue though is that my parents are conservative and they've spoken before about how much they're against hormones and gender affirming surgeries, but I really want to start T. I'm super dysphoric about my body, specifically my voice and my crazy wide hips. Another problem is that in my state it's legal for people under the age of 18 to start hormones, but it's CRAZY hard to fit the qualifications. I'd need to get professionally diagnosed with gender dysphoria, have my doctor give a prescription, and both of my parents would have to consent. I know that doesn't sound very hard but with the current state of the US, it's harder to do. Also it's crazy expensive and it would be hard to actually convince my parents since money has been tight recently. I'm gonna try explaining it to them since I've done a lot of research on the topic and would like to say I'm pretty educated, but if anyone has any tips to either make the process easier or give more info that could possibly better convince my parents please do tell! I'm lowkey desperate over here😭

It isn’t always but it’s rather often that I dream that I’ve being misgendered. That out of nowhere I’m back at using a binder. That I lose all of the “achievements” I’ve made.

In the dreams I’m aware this is false and somehow along the way I stop the dream and make adjustments to appear the way I am in real life.

Anyone have these dreams? Does anyone know why and how to stop them?

P.S. been 7 years in Hormonal treatment, done 2 out of 3 surgeries.

I used to be religious about going to the gym early 2025. That went downhill basically as that summer started, but during my time working on myself I became obsessive over tracking what I ate.

I’ve always struggled with my body, but this made it worse. I’ve been losing and gaining the same ~10lbs and I’m tired of feeling disgusting all of the time.

I want to get back into improving myself, it’s the least I could do for myself and my girlfriend.

I know there’s r/ftmfitness or whatever, but does anyone recommend any specific routine? I’m a college student and can carve time out for the gym roughly 3 days a week, but have free weights at home.

Or if anyone just has any general advice about disordered thoughts that would be nice too. It makes me feel very low to deal with these things.

Thank you!

Hello,

I am looking for a new doctor that specializes in trans mens health in Oregon. Specifically somewhere on the West side of the Cascades. I have Moda insurance and have looked on their website but it’s proven to be difficult.

Any recommendations?
