[helena]

hi i am helena i am 19 and i am a transwoman i wanted to know if there are other people like me in this forum thanks ^^

 

[BeansOfRequirement]

There are at least two or three more that I've seen.

 

[lofticries]

I'm not a transwoman but have seen a couple of transwomen post here on the regular.:)

Welcome!

 

[grungeCat]

Not a transwoman or even woman (though a lot of people call me femboy lol ) but I've seen lots of trans people here indeed. Welcome to SS family

 

[Breakout92]

I guess I'm one too. I feel uncomfortable calling myself a trans person due to my mental issues where I feel I'm not allowed to say that i am, so I usually identify as just gay, but I've done a lot of transition things so I guess I am one. It's so sad that so many of us end up on this website

 

[Trans Magus]

I'm a 23 year old trans woman, too. I doubt I'll ever be able to pass, though, so I'll likely just boymode until I die. I'm currently four months into HRT.

 

[NightmareTour]

I'm trans, but I'm FtM. I'm 23

Hi Helena. I'm not trans but have friends who are, and I have a huge amount of sympathy for what the trans community go through with abuse from ignorant people, misunderstanding and just generally the internal struggle of being seen as different from others. Feel free to message me if you feel like a chat xx

[itsallpointless]

No lol in fact I've met so many trans here they might even be a minor majority group here

 

[TheDizzenter]

Greetings. You aren't the only one! We have a few here!
I am a FTM, if you wonder!

There's quite a few trans women on the website but most of them aren't in the recovery forum

 

[lukas19]

A recent poll on here showed about 16% are Trans

I am a transman :)

 

[WorthlessTrash]

I am a dysphoric AMAB.

 

[Linda]

Yes, there are. Quite a lot, judging from posts I have seen. At least one of the administrators is trans too. (And, in addition, there are probably trans people here who prefer not to identify themselves as such.)

 

[Sadbrains]

There was a poll taken a while ago from someone who was curious on the same subject. It's actually sad knowing there are a large number of trans here, including myself. The reason this is sad is because why are we all drawn to this forum? Anyways, welcome!

Also, you might be able to find the poll by searching for it in the search bar. ^-^
[Edit]
I went ahead and found one of the post but there was one taken with higher response I can't seem to find.

Are you trans?

I have found that there seems to be a high percentage of trans folks on here so I am interested to see the percentages. Also sidenote: just realized I posted this in Suicide Discussions instead of Off Topic. If that's not okay I'll delete this one and remake it, lmk :)

Looking at that poll, it does make you wonder why there are more MTF as opposed to FTM.

Probably it's just reflecting the wider world. There seem to be more m2f in the world generally than f2m.

That is possible, although that I have heard from somewhere that the ratio between FtMs and MtFs is even-ish. I personally think that it might have something to do with how the media treats them, trans men are pretty much invisible in term of media coverage so they are likely to receive much less hate than trans women. I am honestly not sure if half of transphobic people are even aware about trans men's existence.

Maybe (and I don't know how true this is) that transmen have an easier time passing flawlessly than transwomen.

May be (and I don't know how true this is) that transmen have an easier time passing flawlessly than transwomen.

That is also possible, testosterone is an incredibly potent hormone when dosed correctly. It defines a person's physique much more than oestrogen when it comes to permanent changes, which is a blessing for FtMs and a curse for MtFs.
