What the fuck. In a month I will have known I'm trans for 4 years. What the fuck.
Ranking labels by how comfortable I feel applying them to myself
Future woman, very comfortable.
Woman, depends on the moment. Right now it feels weird but sometimes is very comforting.
Lesbian, actually feels really comfortable. I suppose that makes sense, if I'm a woman I'm definitely attracted only to other women.
Trans, What might make less sense is it feels more weird to call myself trans. I know that if I'm a woman, I must be a trans one, but it still feels very weird.
lgbt/queer, And finally, possibly making the least sense, calling myself lgbt or queer is the most weird feeling label on this list.
I'm too terminally online to write an actual good, well formatted post but I feel more comfortable calling myself a women then I do trans, and calling myself lgbt feels even weirder. And that seems very odd to me.

spoiler i like women :)))
i am gay :))))))))
:))))))))))))))))
The cis can't have petplay, right? I mean that isn't allowed, yes? I don't think I've ever seen cis petplayers, like maybe they exist but surely not?
I talked about it briefly in a server once and while all of the cissies were bewildered, many different varieties of trans users came out of the woodwork to discuss 'n' bark with me abt it.
Inconsistent sleeping sucks so bad, I'm trying to get some voice training and physical training but I don't know when I'll be available because Idk when I'll sleep next
Also, I should burn my diary soon
Started working on voice training day before yesterday. It's nice to have something to work on while I wait to see the clinic at the end of the month for HRT. Meeting a trans friend I recently made for coffee tomorrow. And going to a trans support group the night after. Hopefully that will help with things mentioned below.
dysphoria and coming out
I'm starting to experience pronoun/name euphoria and dysphoria. And I'm having trouble asking people to stop dead naming me. Changed my profile name on facebook to gauge the reaction. But honestly feeling sketch about FB generally and will probably delete the thing.
I also haven't come out to my kid yet. He's 14, and I only see him once a week supervised because of my poor mental health. His mom has him in a conservative school district, and he's already been teased for not having a dad because of me being in his life so little. I'm going to talk to my therapist today about it. And probably our supervisor (who's also a therapist) soon. Then likely have to email my ex-wife and explain the situation to her and see if she wants to try co parenting on this or if she wants to just leave me to it. I'll probably apologize to my ex too, for my end of all the things her and I put each other through. Tell her something like, I really wasn't myself when we were together.
Bit idea: red scare but the McCarthyist is an egg and is paranoid that everyone is a sleeper agent trying to trans their gender.
I don't want to work another night bleh
I wanna call in sick. I'm done with night shifts. I've been doing this for 4 weeks
Nerded:
I do not fucking like the autoscrolling bit in this chapter (8) where you have to bounce across ice platforms to ascend. You know the bit, with rigid fucking timing. I died 973 times.
I've been growing out my hair from a denial buzz cut for about 7 months (obviously for trans reasons).
My mom (who I think would be accepting but I'm not ready to come out to yet) has suggested I get a haircut. To be fair, it's not a bad idea since my hairstyle is currently just fluff, and I can't keep up the rejecting after having kept it short my whole life while also having no clue about the hairstyle I actually want (how am I supposed to pick something that isn't genderfuckery?)
What kind of style can I get at a barber (not outing myself obviously) with wavy/curly hair that I can still use to boymode as a college student that also allows me to keep growing some length?
Sorry for dumping this, don't know anywhere else to ask ๐ฅบ
I started writing a song this week and Im really happy with how its turning out, wish music wasnt so identifiable because Id love to show it off to youse (i also have a lot of sappy trans songs lol)
I want to get into the routine of discovering new music again. Maybe Iโll incentivize myself by trying to post a song a day on the trans mega that feels gender to me.

uWu :3
cant believe the amount of times ive had to move because people were erasing my work :(
this is a weird one, it's probably some kind of dysphoria? I guess? cw uh weird body stuff, weight discussion, mild brainworms
Does anybody else ever feel really under-developed to the point of almost being like, neotenous??? I know this is weird as fuck.
It's a given I guess that most adult men are like three times as wide as me, and a considerable portion of people are much taller than me too. (I know I know, "god I wish that were me", I'm sorry) But the average woman (cis or trans doesn't matter) also seems a lot more like, physically substantial than I am. It's probably the tiny noodle arms, (funny) really small cup size (lol) and perpetual ability to see my ribs because weight does not gather on my torso, but sometimes I do kind of feel like an overly tall child standing in a room of adults. My brother is way bigger a dude than I, even, and we aren't more than two years apart.
I think some of this might partially be mtfg brainworms, 'cause I know once or twice I've seen particularly shitty trips imply that anons were "pedobait" but that's not the kind of thought that enters my head about this stuff. I guess it feels like for all the changes I've affected, I still have a very similar build to when I was 17, you know? Idk if this makes any sense. I feel fuckin "underdeveloped" somehow...
One of the big ones I guess, and maybe this is one of the last "gender envy" things I still feel: my wife's hips are like 3ร as wide as mine, it's incredible. I have pretty decent proportions myself, got a lot of mileage out of redistribution and hip tilt, but my wifey's figure is bottom-heavy u feel... my miniscule pelvis proving no match for her power as she hip-checks me
I need my ~~daily~~ hourly dose of trans vibes!
family shame, microaggressions, and skillful means
I posted on Facebook, asking family and friends to use my name, along with an explanation about me preferring feminine things. Including feminine names.
One of my favorite Aunts vomited the family shame up on that post. She may have been half in the bag considering how difficult it was to parse what she was saying. Once I looked at the tone though, I was like oh, this is the family shame we all grew up with. I know this garbage.
So, I deleted my initial defensive response. And explained to her that my name and my dead name actually have the same meaning. That it's just my name. And that it will legally be my name soon. I also explained that pretending I don't prefer feminine things was literally killing me. That I choose life. And that I hope she prefers a joyful niece to a suicidal nephew.
I feel proud of myself for handling it so well. I don't know that I'll get through to her. But I hopefully educated some people on the sidelines. And proved to myself once again that I'm much more able to deal with life's hurdles when I'm able to be myself.
Texted my baby brother, who has been super supportive. And vented and then we both vented about transphobic people (he's a serious ally, in addition to being a beautiful sibling) And both him and his wife offered support on the Facebook post too.
What my Aunt said hurts and makes me sad. But, I'm choosing to focus on all the support I've been getting. And putting my attention there instead of on the hurt brings me gratitude for the beautiful people in my life who will love and support me through this.
my roommate: "hey estradoll have you seen the mail key?"
me, setting down my copy of "2020's Women Fashion Absolute Basics For Dumbshit Trans Girls Who Gave Up Being Cis Five Minutes Ago" with the title emblazoned in a comically large font in front: "oh yeah, I left it in my pocket, sorry"
Just kind of complaining here, but the one local trans support / meetup group here has been cancelled every time for the last month+. Apparently the org that runs it doesn't have enough facilitators. Which, like, I get that people are busy but it's two hours twice a month. And they've only been announcing the cancellation last minute on Facebook.
Last week, I showed up without seeing the announcement. I wasn't the only one either, there was a whole series of vaguely nervous looking queers who came up to try the locked door and the immediately slunk away. At this point Im not sure I need a support group that much. Like I have some irl trans friends and I'm fully out and all that. But some of them might have been really struggling and it's super shitty to just cancel the group like that.
I wish I was more confident, I would start my own group lol.
When you work up a sweat with your significant other
spoiler
We spent a few hours unplugging and rearranging our media system, cable tied a ton of cables together to reroute our consoles/pc and hifi/tv/receiver into a non rats nest. We had to turn off fans so it became like a sweatbox for an hour or so. Feels good being productive and to have it done, even though it was like working in a sauna lol
I've said this before, but it really is incredible how much I want that darn shark plushie.
I know I don't need to think about getting a new name right now but I am anyway. So I was looking at people talking about picking their new names and it's all like "Well I picked [extremely cute and unique name, but not too unique or unusual] because it aligns with my star sign, my grandmother's middle name (who I loved dearly but passed away when I was a child), means all of these things in these cultures that tie to who I am, and lines up with my winning lottery ticket numbers."
And I'm like "[common name for people my age] sounds cute"
edit: oh wow I was 666 and didn't even write about Satan. Well here it is, dudes rock. I can't stand up to anyone about anything and here's this dude fighting god for thousands of years. What a guy.
Maybe the bullet was combined with the gender change potion from Terraria is actually had the goal of transing Trump's gender instead of killing. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
