One of my nipples grew bigger than the other since starting MTF HRT half a year ago. How long until they become the same size again? The areolas are the same size.
They might never be the same size, unfortunately. Back when I had tits one of my nipples was bigger than the other (areolas were the same size) and the other never grew to match it. Tits are rarely entirely symmetric, so you're probably just going to have to deal with this.
Shout-out to the people who encouraged me when I posted in the trans megathread when my egg was cracking like 7-8 months ago. 6 months on hrt now and Im so much happier :D
How could you get on HRT so quickly?
should i drive over to saudi arabia and see if i can meet any trans ppl there
I had two drinks over the course of several hours, how am i somehow drunkish? Like, im not drunk drunk, but im more than tipsy??? Granted, i havent had alcohol in weeks, but still two drinks (not even super heavy pours either, like an extra 20% cause the bartender likes meeee) shouldnt hit me like this???? New calibration point for alcohol ig?
If you started hrt semi-recently, it's probably that. I know when I started T my alcohol tolerance increased quite noticeably, so assuming the timing makes sense, you're probably experiencing the inverse of that
Got a few web friends to use my real pronouns and my new name. It just makes me feel euphoric, but somehow still feels wrong. Maybe some internalized transphobia or just the disphoria (probably because I haven't started any part of the transition yet). But I'm happy anyways for getting some validation.
I have absolutely been there. In my experience is does get better the more you experience it
Is it possible to do HRT badly enough that it permanently messes up your transition or is it a kind of thing where it would just mean it takes more time?
just takes more time
unless u seriously mess up for like years n get osteoperosis
transphobia
Imagine deadnaming someone in your birthday message to her
I wish I could thanos snap these people into a pocket dimension so I don't have do deal with them. Fucking hell
Up with trans. Down with cis
In other news I got invited to a thing on Friday that I'm suuuuuper excited about. I'm going to get to flex my gay muscles
Coworker gave me a hair tie and another put my hair up for me
Low key have shed a few tears about it... just really nice of them to help me and feels kind of like something women would usually do for other women. Not out to them or anything but still you know.. needed something nice to happen to me today too.
this is sweet i have memories like this
I keep some hairties on me all the time (on my keys, in my wallet), gettining to help out someone, is a good feeling in return. I think i gave one to some random retail staff who were getting chewed out by a manager in front of me once
that's really nice!
I've been passing at work and wirh all my patients, weird feeling. Besides a little voice work all I did was move to a city.
hot? yeah i guess it was a little toasty overnight now i've had to crack out my second blanket, its the middle of winter! This is southern hemisphere erasure!
im doing okay, someone in the vague 'activist scene' in my city is kinda making my life hell atm, theyre not well, but neither am i. So i'm fading out of existence. For how much people all talk about 'community', i'm yet to have many people check in with me.
Theyre going to be living in a worldwithoutlawyers.jpg now i'm gone. no one else is going to tell them to reexamine their preconceptions, theres going to be unexamined racist shit going down, i tell you what.
i kept being told 'well remember what you were like when you were young!', and i kept thinking, yeah damn, they should all be doing drugs instead of crowing themselves godking of the 'movement'.
this has all really destroyed my confidence i'm actually too anxious to even check replies here atm, for a while i couldnt even comment because i felt like everyone was so mad at me lol.
The 'scene' is good for them, but has been a disaster for my mental health. so i'm dropping everything so i can rekindle my energy and re engage myself with my union organising.
i dunno this feels like too much, maybe im too much. I'm getting echoes of an ex telling me 'i'm not availible to do emotional labour for you'. haha hehe hoho yes
if people are treating you like shit, you should leave, its not easy, but its for the best
Male tomboy with a little bit of E busts it down agender style, are they goated with the sauce?
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! That is all.
Addendum:
Hey loves 💜
I wanted to give a little update, we made it through the hospital thanks to you all, but now my sisters and I are really struggling to find a safe place to stay. Right now we’re stuck somewhere temporary that’s not safe at all, and it’s scary not knowing what could happen next.
UNHCR told us to stay in Juba while they keep working on resettlement, but there’s no safe place here, and we can’t go back to Gorom camp because the host community doesn’t want us anymore. We’re trying to raise around $700–850 so we can get a small apartment for the four of us, with money for transport, rent, bedding, food, and the meds my sisters still need.
We’ve only raised $66 so far, so we still have a long way to go. If you can help us by donating, sharing, or even giving advice on safe places, it would mean everything to us right now. My mutual aid link is in my profile. Thank you so much for being here for us. Love you all so much. 💙🙏🏿
dysphoria
My dysphoria is so bad. It might be the worst dysphoria I've ever had. I want FFS so bad. Maybe I should do FFS first instead of an orchiectomy. But the waiting lists are so long and I'm not hopeful it will happen soon.
things that help me with dysphoria
This felts really corny when i first tired it but doing some positive afformations in the mirror really helped me with this, little notes that say something like 'this is what a woman looks like', 'you are beautiful' etc, I've got an old crimethink 'beauty must be what we define it as, or else it is our enemy' poster too
i generally just avoid looking in the mirror tho tbh
i dont know how long youve been out to yourself for, but with time things like ffs and srs have become a lot less important to me, but it was a lot of mental work
once when i told my grandmother how depressed i was feeling she told me, whenever she's feeling really down she hops in the shower, puts on some nice clothes and does her make up (oddly affirming because she doesnt really get im trans), but self care really helps
also helpful to remember the way you see yourself is not how other people see you
be kind to yourself
spoiler
I've thought that if where I lived offered FFS or SRS and they only cover one, I might have picked FFS to be honest.
As it is, SRS is covered so that's what Im getting. Im trying to save for FFS but its like... with that much money in the back I could also buy a house geez.
I tried the new blue monster after reading @[email protected]'s comment and it is really good. Adding that to my rotation haha
+1 on that rec
I found a peach one the other day and I kinda like it. Ultra peachy or something, not too much sugar and tastes like peach
Will have to add this to my stash of pink and white ones. For cis reasons.
Just get over your rejection sensitivity you dumb stupid bitch
Edit: Just.. press! the happy override button that all humans have! Get the fuck over it!
Edit 2: Why you having problems tho? Don't tell us! Don't worry, just calm down, right?
Edit 3: undeleted for full transparency to those concerned.
I'm sorry your struggling, but I think itd be good to spoiler such negative slurfilled self talk in future <3
Oh, dear, youre so precious. I know how much you've struggled. It isnt as easy as a button, which on the one hand means you shouldn't be upset with yourself that it takes longer and more hard work - but on the other hand, that it will take a lot of hard work.
I do hope you can find your proverbial tribe, friends or partner(s) who have your back and can build you up. You do really deserve it.
O Jamesy let me up out of this pooh
