Bun's thread of Transitional Cataloging and discussion (and shenanigans).

[Mikosah 65]

Shape is more important than size. And overall bodily proportions are yet more important than tit shape. Oddly, that isn't common knowledge. Working in the field of architecture, the concepts of shapes, symmetry, and proportions stand out like a sore thumb, but your typical pleb has no eye for it. Every straight teenage boy goes through the initial phase of judging racks by the simple mantra of "bigger is better" because they haven't yet realized a couple key points- one is that gravity is a thing. What starts up high and proud will inevitably swing low. The other is that the bra is deceptive. It carries the weight that the skin cannot. And when removed, our old friend gravity comes back with a vengeance. Standards might radically change in zero-g environments, but I digress.

The mature man quickly becomes disillusioned by sheer size once this basic lesson kicks in, but in spite of this the thicc archetype is still going strong. And there's numerous theories to that end, anything between "lul 'muricans too fat" and it being a black thing that got picked up by others, just like rap music. Even so, insofar as higher beauty standards are concerned mass remains a liability. Thicc is a trap (not that kind of trap) because of the same reasons outlined above. Even if a thicc subject has absolutely flawless tit shape and proportions at a given point in time, that's strictly a temporary arrangement. Gravity will destroy her, just a question of when. And there's also the issue of the ratio between fatty tissue and glandular tissue. Not as significant in this context, use of hormones to stimulate growth will favor glandular tissue which has better structural qualities than fatty tissue.

Moreover, even a relatively slim subject can produce a similar effect through posture rather than body mass or deceptive clothing. A simple forward lean with both arms held close to the sides for instance exaggerates the cleavage and denotes feminine submissiveness, which is desirable.

MFW this of all places is where I make the 'wise titty sage' aria. Need cold shower.

I had my one year anniversary of HRT about two weeks ago which was exciting benchmark. There have been a lot of changes which have been pretty nice. My skin is really soft and I don't feel super gross. I pass pretty well which is very nice. I definately have less body hair which is really awesome. Laser has been a bitch but I've lost a lot of facial hair from it and the difference is huge. I'm really happy with the progress I've made in the past year and am much happier and more comfortable than I was at this time last year.

I finally got my name changed which is really exciting and it has been quite an ordeal to do but my name is now Allison May. Its taken about three months and 480 dollars to do but its finally done and in a couple days I can get the papers to change my markers and name everywhere else. Many yays! It was supposed to change yesterday but I was sent to the wrong court house, and they sent me to the wrong court house so I finally was at the right one and hour and a half late and they werent able to do it that day so I had to do it the next (and of course I live about two hours from the courthouse so yay). It got changed this morning though and the whole thing was less than five minutes.

Also welcome to the thread @Mikosah. Have a pickle.

Challenge accepted!

I don't know what you were expecting.

Wait, which kind of pickle are we talking about?

It's a running thing that trans girls constantly eat pickles because spiro makes you crave salt.

Leaving early tomorrow morning.  Nervous as fuck tbh.  Haven't flown in many years and I'm going to a place I don't know on top of that. 

Good thing is I have isle seats all the way down.

[Alesia 339]

Well, an update I suppose.

 

Texas did not go how I thought it would.  Both people I was there to visit ended up coming out to me as trans in different ways as well as mixed in with some relationship drama that was going on between them at the time....they weren't out to each other either. 

 

Things happened and I ended up driving from Texas to Washington to have the transman stay with me.  So far Nate has been fun to have around and is getting close to starting hormones himself.  While I'm still firmly in the attracted to girls camp we have a sort of relationship and having someone to dork around with or blow off sexual needs without crossing personal boundaries has been good. 

 

I had my trimonthly check up and I adjusted what time I was taking my pills and got my blood tested.  Jury is still out but I'm aiming to get bioidentical hormone levels after this round of testing.  Weight is down slightly because of how much better my diet has been as well as having an exercise partner.

 

Also "inherited" Nate's girl clothes and since our sizings are similar almost everything fit.  Girl jeans + pink flannel has become my go-to for public.  As well as my hair back in a pony tail decorated with ribbon.  At home of course I have a nice selection of dresses.

 

Overall a wild ride but things are looking up for now.

[Alesia 339]

TL;DR I've been full time for well over a month.  Had a date with the one male that I've ever had feelings for which turned out well.  I pass only sometimes but I get compliments both to my face and to my friends.    So id say things are going well.

[HibachiSniper 134]

Glad to see people doing well!

I've mostly lurked this thread since Bun first posted it, honestly it was an enormous help to me in finding myself. I finally accepted who I am in late March last year but there were people I knew IRL that I wasn't ready to come out to who knew this handle and I was paranoid. I've been on HRT for ~11 months now and went full time living as a woman near the beginning of this year but had forgotten about this thread for a bit. I want to thank Bun for starting this thread years ago and everyone else who's participated. Without it I think I would have been in denial even longer and it's bad enough I kept myself in denial till I was 30 already. <3

Oh goodness that is amazing! I'm really happy for you and how quickly you were able to start full time. Most of us have moved beyond this thread to discord servers. *squeezes*

I originally planned to start full time no earlier than a year on HRT. I work remotely so hiding things from my company was easy but after going all out to make sure they would not notice when they had me fly up for the christmas party I realized I never wanted to do that again even if I had to find another job so I kind of jumped the gun on the plan lol. Luckily things went well and I didn't get fired for it.

Super congrats hibachi! We're so proud of you. 

I don't like to talk about my life much, but things have been really rough on me for the past six months or so. Bad health, bad experiences, and losing my SO has made for a pretty rough year. I've gotten some things done that I've always wanted to, but there's one thing I haven't been able to do, and that's come out about my sexuality. I just can't work up the courage, especially knowing how some people dear to me would take it.

I have gotten to talk with Bun more often though, and I'm trying to make some new friends, so things aren't all bad. Still besties with @Zytyx, who is a precious bean, by the way!

[AnArmyofBun 1,122]

I know it's late.  But I'm happy this thread continued for as long as it did.  My long departure from it was probably not the best thing.  However I had my reasons.  I want to say congratulations to Hibachi and everyone else who has really been able to make use of it.  Thank you for participating.

Today, March 31 is Transgender Day of Visibility.  This thread has sat idle for a while. I haven't stopped by wotlabs in an even longer while.  But I remembered this thread when I saw some of my transgender friends in information security post about TDOV today.  And I remembered how amazing this thread was and how amazing people were through the various journeys and stories that were told here.  I saw amazing bravery here.  I saw people who were absolute assholes in the game be absolutely amazing here.  Thank you all for teaching me so much about how to be a better and more understanding person.  I hope you are all doing well.  Peace.

[Rexxie 10,789]

A little update on me!

[cvshaft 139]

I am glad to see people able to find and be themselves.

I am still learning a lot about this community.

I am proud of you all. <3

[Alesia 339]

Still remember this thread sometimes even though I don't play WOT in the slightest anymore.

 

 

Basically things are going well enough.  Things with Nate took a turn and we ended up dating, and are now planning to have a hand fasting ceremony since we are both pagan.  So essentially getting married but without the legal stuff.  I'm also dating another transwoman long distance but she's amazing.  We are all poly so things remain open but I can't imagine being without either of them by this point.

 

As far as physical stuff, I have D cups now (pushing on E!) and my hair is halfway to the small of my back but still getting longer.  I did end up getting on bio identical progesterone which has been a trip of rapid physical changes.  I went from an A to a D cup in like 1 year 8 months which was mind blowing to me, after so long of just not having any real growth.  SRS has been put off indefinitely because of covid of course but I'm also still not sure if I can handle the pain and recovery more then anything.
 

I did end up moving to texas for like 2 weeks and then went back to Washington, with Nate, with cats....it was hell.  We were homeless for like a week as well but we finally found an apartment and got set up.  We remain poor as absolute fuck and I cant find work to save my life but...we will make it I'm sure.  IDK how but we will.

I'd never really paid attention to this thread before now, but around two years ago now I figured out that I was a girl. I can't really do anything about it other than very little things due to my living situation, but I'm working on remedying that. I'm glad to discover this thread and see I'm not alone as a trans person here ^^

[yetanothertank 0]

Forgot I had an account here, lul. Probably a waste of time posting in a dead thread, but may as well I guess...

I used to lurk here all the time when I played tonks. (Too shy to post. Thanks dysphoria.) Back then I followed this thread religiously for reasons I could not have explained at the time. Now I'm a year into transition and I haven't played tonks for much longer than that so I haven't been here in forever, but I figured since lurking here and reading folks stories helped me so much I might as well see if I can get in touch with anyone.

So, yeah. Where do all the ex-WoT player trans girls hang out nowadays? :)

I wish I could point you to a community, but Im not sure if there are any active groups for ex wot trans people. The few I know of are mostly quiet now, most of us have moved on.

Im glad you got to be yourself after all this time, btw! I hope your next year is even better ^^
