either estrogen has made me even more attracted to women or finally admitting i'm trans has gotten me to open up about my sexual and romantic attraction in a way that i haven't been able to in years. either way i literally can't go 5 minutes anymore without thinking about how much i love women

Seven days until my first appointment with gender care!

I'm so excited. If anyone can share a time line on what to expect, I would appreciate it. I figure they'll have to do some hormone tests before they can prescribe anything?

Got some bloodwork done to get a baseline as I start my HRT (spiro and raloxifene). I have an Estradiol level of 5.8pg/mL and normal range is 11-43 pg/mL. Google says that low etradiol levels can cause: lethargy - check, low libido - check, dry skin - ...check, hot flashes - ...now that you mention it, poor memory - ......check etc.

I'm still not 100% sure about transing my gender (my treatment plan has a goal of limited irreversible changes for the time being), but I have to wonder if it is a coincidence that I came to the conclusion that transitioning and the mental/emotional changes from estrogen might be the best way to help me break out of my depression. Now I'm doubly excited for the changes that might happen.

weird brain things and dysphoriaIt seems that everytime I take a step forward, I end up having bouts of "am I really trans though" that last for days.

For example, I came out to my mom this last weekend. It went great, I felt great Saturday night and most of Sunday morning. And then the thoughts start to migrate back in. "Am I really trans?" "I just look like a guy" "I think I'm being self indulgent and stupid" type shit. Plus all the hyper fixation on all the things that make me feel like a guy. It'd be nice if it would stop soon. I was enjoying vibing in skirts and being dorlypilled. niko-concern

sex commThere's been a lot of sex talk in the megas the last few weeks. There must be something in the water. Last week, a few of us floated the idea of having a comm where sex and sexuality could be discussed without the awkward "this is kinda weird. Don't know where to post this" feeling people get posting in a mega. I think the quality of conversations we've had demonstrate that we can talk about sex without being weirdos about it.

I think it's important to acknowledge why we developed volcel culture because the sub was a very different demographic. The trans cuties threads, for instance, was a negative example of subjecting our users to sexualization.

However, I think now that the majority of the site is queer, the conversations will likely be more positive.

We had floated some ideas like the comm having a minimum account age requirement, being request only, being text only, and banning unsolicited DMs.

Let me know your thoughts on this.

Starting a struggle session to gain speed over the news mega thread was not a good idea

envyI remembered back when I was in primary school my mom never allowed me to take fruits with me to school as a lunch, when I asked her why she said that I'll make other kids feel worse, I didn't understand back then until some kid brought cake with her, I was a kid back then and I liked cake, I wanted cake, I didn't have cake and the kid having cake infront of me reminds me how much I am not having cake, so I hated her for that, but did the kid do anything wrong? did she deserve me hating her? was it the choice of any of us that I didn't have money? was I the only kid there who wanted cake? wasn't there kids too there who wanted my basic lunch? and in the end my hate got me no cake and made her lose no cake.
Now you might say that was envy for wealth inequality, an inherit problem in a capitalist society and whatever else, unlike genetics and beauty, there's a cause you can direct your anger at way easier, but beauty standards and all the "passing" worms are all set by society, and now things you should know envy is that Part of it is ego and hatred, to believe you're deserving of something unlike others that they and you had no choice in picking, you can learn to humble yourself.
Envy will never provide you with what you envy, it will not magically give it to you, and it will not motivate you to have it, it will only trap you in a cycle of always wanting more.
It will only hurt you, you won't be satisfied with what you have and you'll only end up unhappy.

I've always been sure I never wanted to have kids, but starting to maybe wonder if I it was less that and more that I really didn't want to be a dad. Maybe being a mom would be kinda nice?

despairI guess I'm needing a big loan from the girl zone right now.

Went to a party with my gf last weekend. By 11 I was exhausted. Didn't drink. Smoked some weed but that's my usual. Girlfriend and our other friend wanted to stay out, so we didn't leave until after 2 and didn't get home until five.

I must have pulled my shoulder by staying up. I have chronic inflammation as it is but this last week it's been bad enough to wake me up at 2am. And now I'm worried that it might be an autoimmune disorder which would be aggravated by me going on estrogen and t blockers .

This weekend my girlfriend went camping and partying. I feel left out of her life. We tried scheduling date nights but I feel like I'm the only one actually interested in it and the time we tried it she felt like it was encroaching on her time to do chores and shit.

Feeling like giving up. And like I'm not really a priority in my gfs life, as much as she insists I am.

I can't work because of the pain condition and how it interacts with my mental health. And trying to get on disability has been a nightmare process that I'd have to start over because my last denial didn't show up in the mail, meaning I missed the time I could have appealed it.

So, I'm dependent on my girlfriend and I don't really feel like she understands my needs for intimacy. Intimacy to her is watching a show before bed and smoking weed, which by that time I'm already half asleep.

When my egg broke I woke her up because I was feeling so overwhelmed. And she basically was like oh that's nice and went back to bed.

School starts back up in less than a month. Not sure how I'm going to manage classes, trying to have a life otherwise, and my mental and physical health.

I see the gender clinic next Friday. Being out has brought me joy. But my fears of being attacked for being queer haven't gone away. And likely won't.

bunch of stupid whiny bullshit
spoiler probably bad to post but I have never had good judgement anyway, cw lil bit of 4chan language Can you make a good case for why I should do anything other than never post here again? I can't. I'm really not into lecturing people from my white-gold tower of an impossibly safe city where I've almost never even been harrassed, never am afraid to go out, apparently perfectly pass and fit binary gender expectations due to having started at age 17, being tall and skinny and having long hair and all that. Yes I unironically fell for the "zero-effort youngshit passoid" meme, it kind of sickens me to think that I've been yapping at people from a position of such fucking privilege. I'm not convinced I should ever speak again, and if I did I'm not convinced that literally everyone else would not be much better suited to doing so, because painful social ineptitude is a really ugly ingredient to add to this fucking stupid cocktail. I have never improved when it comes to that shit.

I probably shouldn't be putting this on the mega so I'm sorry, I just haven't ever felt more discouraged about ever speaking up again. It's easy to brush off stupid liberals in discord servers or whatever, but I actually give a shit about this website.

Bit weird thinking of all the new groups I'm in. I'm trans, a lesbian, a woman madeline-shock, lgbt, queer. I don't know, feels odd to be in those groups.

Anyway I'm going to go finally read the Gender Accelerationist Manifesto.

Just left the gender clinic. Going off hormone blockers. We’ll see what happens. I don’t have much dysphoria, so I figured maybe a waste of effort to medically transition? Who knows. I’m feeling nihilistic.

weird uncomfortable sex/dysphoria/sexual anatomy postingmakima-think How are you supposed to tell if or how much bottom dysphoria you have? Why do I have such dogshit interroception? Why is autism so dang silly?

I already know VERY well that I have worse than no interest in sticking everyone's least favourite external genitalia into anything or anyone, and like oral sex is also fucking terrible. I can't really tell how okay I am with treating it like a clit, I guess. I think it's okay...? maybe?

And more generally, would I even mind having it if I could tuck at all? The most common thought I have about anything below the belt is that I need to learn to tuck.

I know it also kind of bugs me that my front is not flat when pressed against a partner, even though pressing it against stuff feels pretty good. Apply pressure. Clit is definitely vastly improved after longterm ESTROGEN WITHERING sicko-fem at least, like low-to-zero sex fluids is cool, but I feel weird and undecided about it I guess.

I have no desire to recieve re: insertive sex, now or ever, and I can't even really picture how that would feel with a vag honestly, bad interroception again. It almost feels weird to imagine myself with different anatomy, but I think that's more because the idea of dramatically altering my body like that is unreal to my brain, since it can't happen yet, y'know.

One of the things that really destroyed my ability to even think about this subject was, again, hexbear-non-binary en bee hexbear-non-binary because as a teen I really wanted bottom surgery due to self hate, and then when I became less of a loser I really wanted it because my micro brain figured I was just supposed to. Removed of all the cisnormative assumptions, though... what do I actually want? How do I feel about the anatomical options available to me??? Idek.

niko-yawn Gee I sure do wish I could just cut my fucking balls off, though! That shit sucks. Do any of you know a good way I can cut my balls out? Hit me with that "diy orchi but you dont die of an infection" knowledge!

more sad posting, this time about parents

I'd like to take my mom's middle and maiden name when I legally change it. But my mom is dodging using my name. Most recently she used my dead name. Now she just dodges. She's a liberal.

And my dad is caught up in his patriarchal bullshit. His pride injured because I didn't spend enough time with him because my trauma got triggered. Trauma that he caused. Through physical and emotional abuse while I was a child. Also a liberal but with a lot of conservative values. Most of the liberal values his liberal wife has instilled in him.

Said liberal wife seems quite skeptical of my transition. Which is kind of the impression I get from my mom too.

I hate to say it because I feel ageist, but fucking boomers.

And fuck whatever generation I am (x/millennial?) because most of my friends are more interested in exploring their own gender queer feelings than supporting my transition and how difficult it is to be out.

On the bright side my kid was cool as fuck about it. I have a lot of love for all of the queer cartoons that he grew up on.

And my little brother has been nothing but supportive. As well as his wife. Much love for trans allies.

lea-think Can one "crossdress" if they don't have a binary gender? Is that only for men and women?

Here is the conclusion I have reached: if you are agender you cannot crossdress, because you have no gender from which to "cross". However if you are genderqueer or nonbinary, you are always crossdressing since no article of clothing is gendered appropriately for you power-genius

TOMBOYMODER'S BLOOD TEST RESULTS

What do you think are these good levels?
The website they sent it on says they are abnormal, but I think it's because the test is treating me as a cis male despite the test kit I ordered being for transgender woman.
(the blue is what my levels are and the grey is the reference ranges)
