I've been keeping a transitioning journal ever since my egg cracked months ago and it's funny how shortly after I started HRT, it went from lengthy, emotional reflections on my life and thoughts about gender, to brief rudimentary and primitive phrases. they used to be one, if not multiple paragraphs, but the last two are just "booba itchy" and "so fucking horny rn". it's like in a horror game when you find logs from characters documenting getting infected and turning into a zombie, but instead of getting the T virus, I'm just turning into a girl.

"T virus" would be a great name for our first puberty.
My hair is the longest it's ever been and I love it. I'm also wearing more jewelry, accessorizing is just very fun
tldr:
still complaining about work sorry
my 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...
my egg cracked less than a year ago and now i'm completely and utterly stupefied that I ever even believed for a moment that I was a man. Like, not only do I look back thinking that I was always a girl, I don't even believe myself when I think that before 2023, I legitimately believed that I was male. I know that fact is true but I don't even believe that I believed it
I had such a loose association with being a man or a boy, as a kid it rarely came to mind except all the fuckin times I did ridiculous shit like try to cast magic spells or wish to be a girl or dunk cold fucking water on my head like I was Ranma. As an adult, it was more of a resignation - "oh yeah, I guess I'm a guy. A lot of my friends are girls, I'm a super ally, I'm attracted to my partner partially because they fuck a lot with gender, I love drag and do at every opportunity including very stretched opportunities, I know a lot about transitioning... but I'm a guy I guess." lol
I feel this big time. It's unbelievable to me that there was ever a time before the egg crack and it's not even been half a year for me. I regularly unlock new egg memories that make so much more sense now and it will be forever baffling that these moments didn't crack me sooner
I literally did the "I'm cis but" on multiple occasions π
Itβs hard for me to believe I ever thought in school I could be a manly navy seal or some shit when I was a 5β3 shrimp
after about 9 months HRT and hair growth that girl in the mirror finally just looks like a clocky ass trans girl. I can't really see a man at all anymore
perfect :)
Mirror, mirror on the wall, whoβs the most estrogenized of them all?
not me
yet. girl's only on 9 months HRT yet, imagine what I'll be looking like in 2 years. I'd have been doing laser for over a year at that point too
One time long ago, I was in a first year English lit survey course. And the prof asked "but who does the bell toll for?" And I summoned all my 18 year old inner strength to not say "it tolls for thee" but looking back I think she wanted us to speak up at all lol

Getting ma'amd by my classes is nice
I am going to create a new political ideology. I shall call it Marxism-Leninim-CatGirlism and it will just be Marxism Leninism but everyone will be forced to have some sort of animal augmentation like cat ears and a tail. Especially the person who creates the ideology I decided
gonna get beaver teeth and go vegan with a wood based diet and build a big ass house
How is that different from the main transfem ideology, Meowoism?
Its better because I stole the idea from Meow and claimed it as my own
Does it have to be a cute animal augmentation, or can it be something like a thagomizer or shooting blood out of my eyes as a defense mechanism?
Today has been moving so slowly. Can something happen, or it be bed time yet, or something? I'd like to hurry this up a bit. I already slept as much of the day away as possible. Now I'm just stuck.
Homosexuality
sounds gay i'm in
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).
Why is it called Detransition, Baby
You're gonna love this. One of the main characters has detransitioned (life as a trans woman was too hard and dangerous) and there's a baby involved
I donβt think I want to read it
That's fair. It is heavy and I said it earlier but it does bum me out that all the big Great Trans Lit mass market books have such downer themes. As if the only way to define our lives is trauma and suffering and there is such an empty space where Trans Joy or Euphoria are palpably missing. Kind of sucks that we're represented, to ourselves mind you these are written by trans authors, that we're representing ourselves to ourselves as tragic figures and lost souls. Bleh.
doing my best to turn tiddy growth pains into gender euphoria

unhinged thoughts about gender and sexuality

Yeah, bromance for the first one. My little brother has had a couple deep platonic bromances. I mean, platonic as far as I know he's definitely engaged in some shenanigans but the aim was always picking up chicks (don't ask, also don't ask how a little homoeroticism worked for him because it always fucking worked when he went out to bars with me and friends lol). He's joked about it with his buddies.
c4c, but it was actually a t4t and they were both just afraid to come out
