Hi everybody! My schedule has been really unforgiving, so I may or may not end up writing something and making changes to the post later in the week.

Regardless, I hope you all have a good week!

I look like if a girl took testosterone (I did for the first 30 years)

The sincere posting zone, earlier this week I saw a doctor about starting informed consent HRT. I figure if I don't like it I'll stop. If I like it sooner is better than later.

As an omen as I was driving I got stuck behind this Ute covered in bumper stickers and chalk writing, talking about covid19, government tyranny and globalism, etc. To crown it all it had a Eureka Stockade flag mounted and flying. But on the rear bumper in pastel blue chalk in the fruitiest handwriting it simply said "Stop feminising our men”. And I felt well shit if that wasn't a sign from the universe to do the opposite as what this driver wanted.

The consult went fine and I'm catching up at the end of the month to finalize consent check baseline bloods etc. They were very nice. But also doctors don't really understand when you say "If I end up not liking breasts I can have a breast reduction and get some cool as fuck scars".

Really nervous about the clothes I bought online.
We couldn’t find anything good at the store so idk how well they will fit me.

I’ve never bought a woman’s dress shirt before and I keep just seeing in my head a picture from when I wore a men’s dress shirt before I got on hrt that I hated how I looked in and I’m scared it will look like that or worse. madeline-scared

Thinking back on realizing I was trans, and I am remembering about a month before I finally realized I had found a sapphic audio subreddit, looked at the titles and has a "god I wish this were me" moment and then just kinda ignored it. Fucking oblivious Just moments like this all over the years that slowly come back to me

tldr: catgirl-flop

still complaining about work sorrymy first office day sucked ass so i called in sick today. i got there, forgot what floor we were on so kept visiting different floors until i found it. opened up my laptop, wifi wouldn't connect so missed my morning meeting. IT guy helped me find a wired desk. service desk guy misgendered me (i feel like intentionally? he was kinda rude from the jump and i was in a very femme outfit using a not-perfect girl voice). and i spent the rest of the day overstimulated, cold, uncomfortable, and super fucking anxious. i mean the office was bad pre-transition but now i'm just so on-edge i can barely even do any work

i've just had my penultimate psych session where i got him to explain my diagnosis in a letter. if that doesn't work i'm going to quit, the main reason i'm staying is because i really like my team, there's some (measly) trans benefits offered to 1+ year perms, and i'm dreading having to find another job

every single time i talk to someone about wfh they talk about how much they missed the social connectiveness of the office and how lonely they felt but i just don't get that. i know there's people that are more affected by RTO than myself and i know i probably sound privileged asf but i just can't do this shit 3 times a week. i don't even think i'm leaving the house that often outside of work...

I had to get my birth certificate updated (so I could get the right gender on it). A month later the red tape reduction office sent me an email that they'd be sending me another email shortly with details, that one came and I have to pay a fuckin fee. They said I could pay online or go to a registry office, I figured fine I'll pay online. Except I had to send the red tape reduction service an email to access the online payment portal and they had THE GALL to auto reply that they were busy and to expect a proper reply in 2 to 3 business days

Whyyyy

art is cool and shitthis time last year i went to a public art gallery and saw this painting:
"Sometimes I wonder" by Anne Wallace

it was the only thing there that made me cry (just a tiny bit, i wasn't taking estrogen yet). i kinda explained my feelings as "feeling held back by capitalism, like i can't figure out who i really want to be because work doesn't allow me the time". sometimes i would wonder if i could be someone else and maybe actually be comfortable with who i was...

we went again today and it was still up, i had a bit of a laugh at myself when i realised it was just my gender dysphoria on a canvas lmao. like the original sentiment was correct, i was feeling held back. sure, by porky-happy but more so by my gender and addressing that helped me enjoy life way more. i was able to actually enjoy finding a bit of a personality because i no longer had to share it behind a mask of masculinity

so yeah, pretty funny to see it again post-trans-hatch. maybe seeing it the first time helped accelerate that a little bit, who knows

Finished up Detransition, Baby and holy shit is that book heavy. It has such an intimate (in my opinion) understanding of trans women and how we see the world, our communities, and gender, and it really pays off in the text.

Torrey Peters seems to have a gift when it comes to writing scenes that engross you and make you empathize with the characters. The scene at the climax of the story had me emotionally, psychologically, and physically distressed and dysphoric because of how it depicts a certain character grappling with the physicality of our bodies in the middle of a heated moment.

I didn't expect a book about adults in their 30s having a baby to have so many twists and turns, it felt like I was watching a drama at times and I really hope the adaptation eventually comes out and does the book justice.

I want to recommend this book but the list of content warnings ((domestic) violence, transphobia, self harm, sexually explicit passages) probably means I'll only recommend it with the caveat that it's triggering if you're sensitive to the content.

I love me some messy trans women (Maria Griffiths my beloved) and this book really hit the mark. Overall I love this book and it's probably in my top 3 of all time and not just as trans literature.

I'm kinda bummed that all our good trans lit is so bleak and cynical. Detransition, Baby, Nevada, Manhunt, Tell Me I'm Worthless (well the last two are horror so I guess that's on me).

Are there bras you can buy from a store without getting fitted for one?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

You should be able to go to any underwear store or Walmart style store and pick bras off a rack without trying them on. That'd be a little fool hardy, you should try them on cause undergarments are usually not returnable, but you could do it if you know your measurements. Or if you just want a bralette.

I'm annoyed. Right after top surgery, my breasts were FINALLY even. Left was always much bigger than right and having them be the same was glorious! Until now. Cause apparently I went through another growth spurt in my breasts, but it was only leftie so they're uneven again >:(

A new razor blade really does make a difference. Doesn't hurt to shave nearly as much.

(I still really need to start laser though, there's a section on my neck that just doesn't shave off πŸ˜–)
