Guys What Would Your Opinion Be Of A Woman Who Did This

Women: What, in your opinion, is the greatest compliment a man can receive?

You make me feel comfortable and safe.I think that’ll be the last thing I’ll ever compliment a man. Despite sharing banters and making the same crude or silly jokes with some, I’m generally always wary and guarded around them. I seldom or rarely felt safe enough.I once hated my bestfriend’s boyfriend. He was every definition of a bad boy: handsome, a ladies’ man, sucks at school (but he did get good grades if he wanted to), riddled with vices. But loving my bestfriend enough, I hung out with them sometimes. One night, I got so drunk that I was in and out of consciousness. I can remember him carrying me despite being very drunk himself, and whispering, “I’ll get you and (my bestfriend’s name) home safe.”He cooked us breakfast the next morning.I never minded him being around since then. I could even sleep (literally) in the same room and wake up to breakfast he would always prepare.He was and is the only guy I ever felt safe enough to be (recklessly) drunk with.

In your opinion, which is the more difficult gender transition, female to male (FtM) or male to female (MtF)?

I'm going to approach this just from the physical side, because at least in my experience, all trans people go through the same mental and social hurdles in the process of transitioning. I'm going to disagree with the other answer here and say that I personally think that MtF transitions are usually harder than FtM ones.While I completely agree that the surgical options for MtFs are better than those for FtMs, that’s usually something that comes pretty late in the game, and bottom surgery in particular doesn't really affect one’s ability to pass in a non-intimate social setting. As far as hormones go though, testosterone does a lot more than estrogen, and it tends to do it faster, too. Once growth plates have fused, it can't make trans men taller, nor can it take away their breasts, but it can do just about everything else. Trans men experience facial hair growth, muscle buildup, and fat redistribution all to the point where they look like cisgender men after a year or two, especially if they have a good binder or have gone through top surgery. Trans women experience a lot of the same things on estrogen, including fat redistribution, skin softening, and breast growth. There is one incredible crucial difference between MtF and FtM transitions though, that being that testosterone will make your voice change, whereas estrogen will do nothing to fix it if it has already dropped.This is a massive hurdle for trans women, who have to go through months or even years of difficult and exhausting voice training to get their voices to a point where they sound convincingly cisgender. There are surgical options that shorten the vocal chords, but that’s a riskier option that not a single trans woman I know has opted for. And on top of that, voice changes are something that happen very young in most people AMAB people, typically around 12–14 years of age. I started estrogen when I had just barely turned 17, and in a lot of ways that’s going to make my transition easier, but even that was far too late to save my voice from changing. The end result of this is that until their voices are mastered, a lot of trans women will “pass” quite convincingly until they speak (a cliche that unfortunately seems to be used as the punchline of a lot of sitcom bits).Nothing I say here is intended to downplay the struggles of FtM trans people. I'm merely speaking from my own experience, and I understand that no one answer is going to provide a complete answer to this question.
