Spent some time with my best friend of a long time. This was the first time we'd seen each other in months and the last time we hung out I was only a month out of starting hormones. I felt this weird anxious tension in the air the entire time, though that was probably just me. It was nice, they've been having a rough couple of months now so it felt pretty good to vent to one another over a few hours.
Other than that it was mostly the same as usual, a lot of hanging out in discord. I'm moving in about a month and I haven't really started packing properly yet and it's kind of freaking me out a little.
Oh, and I was wondering if any of our european friends could help me with where I should shop for sports bras and such? Shopping online is always a miss for me with sizing and I'd love to get to know some brands that tend to fit larger ribcages without being uncomfortable.
Peace and love to everyone, you're all valid. ❤️❤️
Venting to a friend can be super cathartic. I'm glad it went well!
Edit: I have been told there are lgbt+ discords, as someone not too familiar with discord, how would one go about finding them?
There is a discord called The Orchard and that's a good starting place for trans peeps needing to vent or make a friend. My favorite LGBTQ+ discord is actually a leftist youtubers discord. So many people there are queer.
If discord will ever let me log in again I will definitely check it out.
It's all "we sent you an email verification" and the link I get is all "nope a secure connection can't be made there's nothing you can do" so 🤷♀️
I mostly hang in private discords, sorry. I haven't stumbled across many public LGBTQ+ discord servers, if I knew any I'd shout them out. 😕
