AMA: Reintroducing myself (formerly Fairymother)
I have been fairly active in this community since I was pregnant with my firstborn, it's been about 4 years now. I'm most known as "Fairymother". I haven't disappeared (I just started being active on the app again last month), but I have began making changes to my life that I always wanted. I am not in a position to reintroduce myself IRL, I've been trying to keep these changes more private than before, but it can be lonely and isolating. My solution is to reintroduce myself to this community, where I've come so often to confide in (I also learned some didn't know where I've gone or what's been happening with me or that this profile is me).
I am pursuing a medical transition (female to male). There is not much community for trans men who are/were moms. I am not a "seahorse dad", I chose not to pursue transitioning until after I gave birth to my children, I can not really relate to that experience. Some users may not agree with my identity (it isn't up for debate, to be clear) but I hope everyone can understand that I do still have children- that I carried, birthed, & breastfed- and would like to continue using this platform for parenting and support reasons. There will be times that my identity is relevant to a poll I may post, I cannot always separate who I am from the issue I'm seeking advice for, and so I ask that you please respond to future posts with my children's best interest in mind and not use it as an opportunity to comment on my transition.
Motherhood is different for everyone, my journey is obviously very different than most of yours, but we all want what's best for our children and for the world to be a better place for them to grow up in. I hope to still be welcomed here while being fully out as myself. Thank you to everyone who has been friendly to me over the years and checked on me, I deeply appreciate all of you.
Anyone is welcomed to ask me anything (although I might be selective with which comments I answer). I'll likely link this post as a reply to any future curious comments about my transition just so it can stay all in one place and not take over any future comment sections on unrelated posts. Thanks again if you took the time to read all of this & take care π©·

I've made a group for anyone of similar identity. A place for masculine women, trans masculine individuals, and trans men to vent or seek advice about issues unique to our experiences. I'm sure there aren't very many on this app, so it may just be me talking to myself for the most part, but figured the group should exist anyways just in case for others! Allies are welcome as well (as long as they follow the group rules).
Oh you did it ππ

Possible early positive
Hello, I tested around 14 dpo this morning and got a very faint pink line. I am scared of false positive and will test again in a few days to see if it gets darker. But thought it woukdnt hurt to have others opinions. It was very hard to get the line on camera.

Omg is this positive!?!?
I took this morning and the photo is within the time frame. It was a faint pink slim line. Idk i just need others opinions or need to see it get darker first.
