Talking to my dad is fun because he'll call me something like an "industrious lad" meanwhile 20 feet away is the bottle of pills I shove up my ass to make my tits bigger

Shout-out to all those who learn about trans people and stand up for us because for some reason you just really care about trans rights. I'll be waiting for you with your hormones of choice when you're ready

Dec. 6th marks 1 year on HRT. I'm so happy but I don't have anyone IRL to celebrate.

Wokeness really did a number on me. I went to college a good Christian boy and left as a cute commie girl!!!

I feel like a togepi. I have cracked my egg, but am still hiding under the shell

How. The fuck. Did my legs get to be this cute? I'm wearing jeans rn and I looked down and saw the cutest legs of all time

Well after much hemming and hawwing I have finally decided to start hrt! I've got an appointment booked, anything I should know? I hear spiro kinda sucks, should I ask for something else?

I'm so hot now actually :3 estrogen is so magic

Got rejected for a job I'm massively overqualified for

Estrogen may be simply the best thing that has ever entered my body tbh. It's kind of amazing

Hey folks!

No big life updates, but just wanted to just confirm that I'm doing alright. Still job hunting, but that's not exactly a unique experience. Other that, I've been enjoying life with my partner and friends. Was able to survive Thanksgiving with the folks (still not out, planning to come out after I land a job or at least move to an apartment that allows cats.)

Also, passed my 1 year HRT anniversary a week ago (although the anniversary of switching from a baby dose to injections is in January.)

Lol there was a time when I thought I was a guy

I'm so fucking sick of being too tall to fit in bath tubs, all I want is to sit in hot water in the privacy of my own home

I could use some encouragement and validation. (Maybe discussion on pros and cons too.) I'm afraid people won't see me as pretty anymore because I'm fatter than I've ever been and I'm thinking about really masculinizing my look.

Letting go of pretty girl privileges is hard when you've already had a lot of people disrespect you in general. I have issues with being passive, so people who hate themselves love to self project on me. People who pick apart women might pick me apart for showing off my manly side. And for being fat while at it.

Being a pretty boy is the vibe I like to have when manlier, I think I like the safety of checking off some "pretty people" boxes that go with societal expectations advertised in magazines. When in reality feeling good about how you look is more about the attitude of feeling cute than how close you look to what you see in magazines. I think I mostly dread not feeling cute because I'm afraid of how others might perceive me and put me down. Trying to seek social "safety" by looking as much like a magazine image as possible was how I felt the most insecure, and I'm doing it right now. Not at the level I used to, but I still am doing it.

For others seeking safety can mean passing on their own shame about their looks, and seeing a gender bender who's fat could either be freeing or lead to them choosing to double down and pass on their feelings of shame.

Damn HRT is magic! Gender affirming care in general is magic. Woke up this morning and when we were about to unlock our phone we saw a very eepy and cute girl in the reflection

Me years ago: "Well obviously I'd rather be a different gender, what cisgender man wouldn't rather be a woman? Oh."

Me yesterday: "Well obviously I have what feels like different people living in my head and they have conversations sometimes and most fit nearly into these descriptions of different types of head mates in a plural system. What singlet doesn't? Oh."

I'm truly hopeless sometimes but we get there in the end.

I'm trying to find the courage to come out, knowing that for me the genie cannot go back in the bottle. Several people here have been really helpful in figuring this out. I'm so thankful for each of you 💜

Confused the clerk at the grocery store today, got sir'd but then ma'am'ed!! But then back to mister when I gave my name for the money orders :(

But that's my first verified male fail!!!

as if by some dark magic, every single time my partner drinks I end up with a nightmare headache

how is she doing this

I've completed a 5 hour course in 3 hours feeding my brain that HVAC knowledge. It was all pretty much review on maintenance and diagnostic procedures but still it's solidifying my knowledge on all the stuff I'll do when I do get a job and start working. Looking forward to having a job, ojalá I'll finally be able to do adult stuff like go on dates I'll have so much HVAC trivia I can share

These past mornings been feeling real emotional almost cried just now listening to wizard of earthsea, le guin is so damn good at portraying emotions like fear and doubt

Any other trans folks here in Berlin got a free room/apartment available? Wont have a place in a few weeks :/ mein Deutsch ist nicht güt und ich bin ein student

I started job searching and immediately had to stop and call my doctor to order a prescription of anti-depressants

There was some discussion of weight cycling earlier and I would like to advise everyone that weight cycling is not good for you, and probably won't do you any favors as far as long term body shape goes. If you like to read more about it, here is a short article.

If you are considering using pioglitazone for reasons other than diabetes, you should know that there are health risks associated with it (it may increase your risk of heart problems and bladder cancer) so it requires more care and caution than diying hrt. We also don't know for sure that it has any long term effect on fat redistribution for trans people so there might not be a real benefit in taking it.

Please take good care of yourselves.

First laser appointment in 30 minutes!!! aaaaaaaaa!!

It's really annoying when women are drawn with messed up proportions, boobs and butts shouldn't be 5 times the size of someones head.

pick a common name

get embarrassed when someone else has it too

Update on my previous post, I ended up just going with spiro + estradiol pills. I'll see how it treats me and adjust accordingly.

I'm so depressed that when I write a depressing post, I delete it cause I'm too depressed to even bother posting it.

I'd like to kindly inform everyone that I'm doing well.

have a doctors appointment soon, probably gonna fuck this one up like the other one but at least my partner will be there to advocate for me this time so we'll see

Struggling super hard with the last screen of this Celeste level, turns out I just didn't learn a trick I was supposed to earlier. After finding out the new tec I beat it in one sitting. Still need 3 crystal hearts to unlock the core.

Ok it's probably not place to say it but as of late it's been getting increasingly harder to at a glance easily tell apart my nephews pfp on discord with all my trans femme friends there, if they ever do something it probably be when they move away from Texas and my conservative sister tho

Pink nail polish?

Arch linux?

Engineering student?

Trans?

All black outfit?

High heel boots?

It's all coming together

The real key to quitting energy drinks and soda seems to have been drinking water. And absolute fuck tons of it.

Sweaters

Local group was actually much more understanding of dysphoria then I necessarily expected, it was nice. Glad I shared.

Dropped my soy curls in the sink
