I told a story about how in my first year I got so black out drunk I lost my pants and didnt know where they were. Now, Ive told this story before and its funny - but now I pass and it was with company that didnt know I used to be a man... so it sounds way less funny 😬
Fuck this fucking day at work ughhhhh
Its so clarifying to have to go in and help people and kids with like actual intense shit, like kid with a heart thats not working and the parents are sobbing because this is supposed to have been a quick diagnostic heart cath and then their baby is on ECMO. It makes everything else kinda fade into the background.
But fuck I hate being siloed off into the corner and no one can check meds with me or help with weights or movement, Im just on some island and I know what I have to do but I just cant because if some beuarocratic shit - I think Ive had actual nightmares about this.
I don't think we can say much about the natural state of people nor the logical state, and even if poly was we're humans who arent bound by natural or logical state.
I can appreciate monogamy as default as being harmful, I think its a bit overwrought to say that but I get it. As the hegemonic default, a lot is negotiated and more or less thats because people know the script for it - don't cheat on your partner, but what cheating means can be stretchy and culturally coded. Some people think an emotional affair and a smooch is serious, some think it only crosses the line with sex, whatever. That could use some negotiating and communication - but also, dont cheat on your monogamous partner and if you cant, then dont partner uo monogamously. I dont get the harm in 2026 where you cant just sow your wild oats as a single person but everyones making you be monogamous with a partner except you also wanna still hit on other people? That part feels very overwrought. I could definitely see monogamy as an institution be historically harmful and oppressive but get real for today in the hegemonic society - you dont need to be paired up.
I still dont think its a kink nor invasive, I think thats still very silly framing. Its a kink as much as poly is (to me, not at all). Its just a way people have relationships.
Oh poly people can still find ways to cheat, it might sound impossible but they definitely can and have!
Ive dated monogamously and poly, and I think youre joking or whatever but monogamy definitely isnt just a kink you goober
You should do more things that make you feel connected to feminity then! Maybe that'll feel better and less like youre a "larper"
I know plenty of cis and trans women that are dudebro coded, but if you dont want to be. Dont! Experiment with some stuff and see how you feel. You seem to have a good understanding of feminity so pick things that seem feminine coded to you.
You know whats been the shittiest is the transbians I used to hook up with who have told me they dont wanna hook up anymore after I had bottom surgery and now have a vagina. One or two, hey no accounting for taste. Three, wtf transbians

I know its difficult for you, but you are going to have to train. I also know others have said your voice is quite nice as is, I dont know but I think Ill take their opinion over yours because it is quite muddled by dysphoria - regardless that means you have a very good starting point. You are just going to have to train if you want to feel better about your voice, it will probably make you feel bad because it is uncomfortable and it means focusing on a part of yourself you feel intense dysphoria about. Theres no pill for it, there is a surgery - but even the surgery for it requires some training. You've tried the technique of training a bit but stopping when you feel too uncomfortable, has that got you closer to your goals? Are you happier for it? If not, time to try something new and time to get uncomfortable (to put it lightly) and voice train. You have to start, eggnog.
The treatment for gender dysphoria is transition. You have to start transitioning socially, publically, or else it will contribute to you feeling depressed. You've tried going slowly and quite sporadically in girl mode for a year now, if you're not happy with where you are then Im going to suggest you start transitioning socially and see if thats better. You're in what is presumably a better more accepting place, now. It is time.
I know you moved and are looking for work - that part is hard, all your previous irl social life got changed and obviously money troubles suck. I think if you make a good effort to meet in real life with people you will feel better. Seek a trans support group locally, meet with them, make some friends who have a better idea what you're going through - and start going to places en femme (bring a change of clothes in a back pack if you have to). The alternative is doing what youve been doing and you've been very explicit that the status quo is not working for you and youve felt miserable. It is time, now, to start changing that.
FUCK DOWNTIME AND BEING DOUBLED
Damn this is so much paperwork 😭😭
