Should I give up HRT to save money since it doesn't work for me and is having no real impact.

Should I give up HRT to save money since it doesn't work for me and is having no real impact. - Pricefield | Lemmy

https://imgur.com/a/6JkRV6X [https://imgur.com/a/6JkRV6X] I’ve been on HRT for 3 years, and I really have lost all hope that I will ever look like a girl or be gendered correctly or even just be treated with dignity. I’m really ugly and honestly I can tell, people lie and say well it’s your personality that matters. It’s really not that hard to see, and I am wondering if there is a point to spending 120 dollars a month, just for peace of mind.

I’ve never been told this by a random person in public

Okay, I’m sorry, I don’t want to come across as being harassing, I came back to check on the post and see what other insights people offered. But I had to write a reply to this.

You do realise that it would be impossible for a random person in public to tell you that you pass right? People don’t just walk up to cis women and compliment them on passing as a woman. The only reason the person you’re replying too can is because of the context of being in a trans community…

No your not coming across as harassing sorry, I was meaning that I haven’t been gendered as a women by random people in public I interact with

voice training, posture, general attire, makeup etc also all contribute. my mother has consistently been misgendered throughout her life as a cis woman because she doesn’t wear makeup, has a particular posture from working out/physical labor, and wears like jeans and masc-cut t-shirts. all of these things can be changed and posture nor voice training require you have money if you already have internet access.

Yeah it’s absolutely okay to participate if you aren’t trans, as long as you’re doing so in good faith, which you are :) From the sidebar:

Anyone is welcome to participate in this community but disrupting the safety of this space for trans feminine people is unacceptable and will result in moderator action.
