I was planning to write a longer post for this mega and then Silksong happened so... oops?

Short version is this week is my 9th tranniversary. I don't remember which day exactly so I like to say it was 9/11 so I'd never forget. What ultimately cracked my egg all those years ago was not the deep yearning when looking at women that I couldn't identify as envy or the increasingly intense and umm horny dreams where I had the power to instantly change my gender. No it was that fucking faceapp gender swap filter. I just kept staring at that pic like it was a mirror into an alternate universe where I was happier and suddenly everything clicked into place. The first few years were hit or miss with a lot of other life changes happening at the time that interfered with getting properly started so in some ways it's more like a 5 or 6 year tranniversary but whatever. vivian-shrug

It's weird to say I'm almost done but I really am so close to making all the changes I wanted. I'll never stop being trans, but I'm definitely moving from trans(itioning) femme to trans(itioned) femme and that's quite exciting. And maybe a little wistful looking back at the journey.

Have a good week everyone!

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

I alternate between "Tarot is not real, its a fun parlour game for self-reflection".

And "as a trans woman I have profaned both man and nature to gain mystical foresight like my many sisters before me".

[-] Disaster_of_Passion@hexbear.net 16 points 7 months ago

tarot is not real, unless it tells me that Yeah I Do Deserve Some Pizza As a Little Treat and then it is the gospel truth

transphobia, hopelessness, ugh

I don't regret coming out, but I just wish I could put it on pause just for a day or two so I can breathe. I'm so sick of how people treat me, and I'm so sick of begging people to use my god damn name. I don't even hate my deadname. I actually kind of like it as a name if I'm being honest. But the downright refusal to use the name I'm explicitly asking people to use just feels like a slap in the face every single time. I've told my dad several times now that I don't want to talk about it anymore, and that he can just do what he wants because I'm done feeling like I have to justify myself to him. I asked him if he saw the possibility of a world in which what he was doing was wrong and he said "I am rarely ever 100% certain about anything, but I'm 100% certain you're not a woman." Like at this point trying to talk to him about it is not worth it. But he just keeps fucking bringing it up. Has sent me 5 page long letters written in google docs asking me to see things from his perspective. That he's trying to do what's right for me and that I shouldn't be mad at him for it. The only reason I'm still talking to him at all is because I have $38 in my bank account right now. The financials are kinda shot right now. And sometimes he sends me money. I feel trapped. I just want to leave this god forsaken town in this god forsaken country. I'm so emotionally burnt out and I don't know what to do.

I think a lot about those studies that showed just knowing a trans person is enough to change people's opinion positively on trans right. Like not being friends or family, just knowing of a trans person.

That's why I kind of love being a huge, beautiful, goofy, obviously trans woman with amazing style who, as a meme I once saw said "was a a pleasure in class and I'm determined to make that everyone's problem".

Like I am going to start a conversation with you ostensibly Cis person and you will enjoy it. Then if trans rights ever come down the track as topic, you are gonna remember me and have a positive opinion.

[-] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 14 points 7 months ago

I like passing but its a little sad to not be read as trans. One of my coworkers didnt know I was trans until me and her had talked to a trans patient about healthcare and clothing stuff and sge asked me how I knew that all - and was surprised when I said I was trans. We'd known eachother for over a year!

I fully respect people who do stealth cause thats their preference or for safety but I like being openly trans

My parents, especially my mom likes to brag by saying that she fully understands me. Imagine all the information she doesn't know about me was actually beamed into her head. It'd hit her like unlimited void.

No but seriously, at this point, if they were to find out just how much I have been suffering for so long, they would be devastated. I think knowing that I am trying get into therapy for ideation would break them from thinking that they failed as parents.

I might just be doing motivated reasoning cause I don't want to tell them, but I think keeping things from them would actually be beneficial for them.

we dont understand how in the current state of things in the US people are still telling trans people to go see a doctor for hrt... like are you paying attention at all or???

not like a majority of doctors understand trans healthcare at all anyway xP

[-] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 17 points 7 months ago

Because DIY isnt, like, easy or straight forward and you have to deal with crypto and its still good to have an endo/prescriber who can figure out your lab values but also help you deal with mental health shit and fertility shit (the two most common concerns with the transgender patient population besides gender affirming care). Some people have insurance that covers meds and otherwise have to pay out of pocket for DIY.

I get the fear that a doctor might not be an ally to say the least. Knowing how to get DIY is a good skill even if you have a great doc who has your back. And I get that doctors aren't all geniuses who know the WPATH in and out - or know when to ignore the WPATH recommendations and go with current research. I don't know how to handle the balance of risks and benefits with yall yankees.

Haven't been on the bear site for a bit, too busy being gay. Just posting to say I love being trans. I love my genderfluid fiancée, my trans boyfriend, and my enby partner. I love all my trans FWB. I love my trans best friends. I love that I rarely have to ever talk to a cis person. When I was younger, I would never have imagined this would be my life, lol. But I love it!

I love you all little trans people in my phone <3

current events + family posting

My dad is full on grieving, constantly whining about how this country is so divided, how could someone do this just because of his opinions, wah wah. Mom has watched his clips and liked his speaking style.

Genuinely so cooked. My dad has just been talking all about it, angrily scrolling through comments about it. A couple days left of him being home. He's definitely going to keep talking to me about this.

Obviously Kirk has supported genociding us

I love yall poly people, I had a good time being poly. But maybe I want to be monogamous and it would be a little nice to have the choice. Wtf is going on in queer kinky dating lol, its like an inversion of mono-poly ratio in cishet vanilla dating.

There is apparently a queer romance brewing at work, currently being kept apart by homophobic parents 💔 tbh I thought for sure one was a trans girl. Maybe an egg ya never know.

Small thing I did over the weekend but on tumblr I periodically bully terfs for the fun of it.

But I clapped back on one terf and someone actually began following my blog. I know it’s a very tiny thing, but I like how someone somewhere out there in the world saw a rando say that hatred against people like them isn’t ok.

I told my therapist I've been scrutinizing my appearance more in an almost phrenological way and she said next session we're gonna talk about where I spend time on the internet

Mom found the /r/4tran subscription

Funny, the preoccupation with my brow really kicked off from a YouTube short

And yeah actually the more that I think about it this has been fueled a lot more by /r/transpassing and related subreddits than anything from /r/4tran. I just reflexively discount anything in greentext so I don't think it's that impactful

Refilling my hormone prescription at the pharmacy and the dispensing chemist asked me step into the consultation room.

I was worried there'd been some sort of fuck up somewhere and I was gonna have to spend all day making phone calls to this or that NHS ward because the WGS, the local gender team, and my local GP had started arguing over who's managing my hormones. Again.

Turns out she just wanted to ask what my preferred pronouns were.
