came out to a friend the other day and we played Stardew Valley together and she said my name and oh wow it feels so nice when people call me a girl name
Jesyus fucjing cnhrist I almost girl fainted in my girl bathroom just now my right ear is fucjikgn girl ringing shit
ahh yis first
I've gotten very far into my physical transition since last summer, and recently I've made some more progress with getting my parents to understand this whole trans thing. But everything else in my life has just gotten worse, sadly.
Rant about personal struggles, transphobia and loneliness
I feel like I'm never going to get a job, I'm struggling to stay motivated for anything thanks to my ADHD, I've grown very distant with the few friends I have, and I have no idea how I'm gonna come out to my extended family. The isolation I feel from all of this is really starting to take a toll on me. There's also fact that my brother is a techbro chud that thinks trans people are all just mentally ill. Wish I could cut him out of my life, but that's difficult to do when he still lives with my parents, who I very much care about and want to stay in contact with. This shit sucks
Despite all of this I feel hopeful about my future. Gonna try to join a local queer org soon, see if I can't get to know more trans people that way. Also looking into getting therapy, as well as trying out a different ADHD medication since ritalin isn't doing anything for me.
Yesterday I had the worst shower possible, I go in, put hot water, realize midway through that I have no soap, no shampoo, no sponge, so I just threw hot water on my body for like 30 minutes and wore my clothes
breast talk
Sometimes I love my breasts and sometimes I hate them. I wonder what taking T will do to these feelings. I donβt really want to lose them right now but I also want to pass as man. Weird?
CAN WE HIT 1,000 COMMENTS FOR MAXIMUM PRIDE?
How do people handle names with job applications? In the past I've just used my legal/dead name but now I'm using my chosen name on top and adding a note on my resume of my legal name and that I'm trans. It's a little awkward and I'm worried about discrimination, but idk how best to approach it.
For context I've mostly been working blue coller in warehouses or doing data entry or light technical repair type stuff, and I'm applying in blue areas in the US.
i personally wouldn't disclose my legal name until I was like, hired and had to do so for payroll or whatever. your choice but I felt more comfortable just only going by my chosen name immediately when it came to that stuff and wouldn't bother disclosing I was trans at such an early stage of the process either. certainly not something I'd put right on the CV. I don't live in the US so I'm not really familiar with the specific hiring climate you're in though, but I would think that would be an unusual thing to do
There are now only 2 ways to make our report response time faster:
Making literally everyone a mod
Robo-transgenders that patrol and purge reactionaries on sight online and irl
hope everyone's doing well
Waiting in pre-op now.
If you don't hear from me within 24 hours, I legit died~ β¨πβ¨
Edit: hit 900 for me
Injection #3 today; hopefully things start happening soon!
possible changes !?!?!
My chest has been a bit more sensitive and sore, so it's either because I sleep on my stomach, the E, or both (I really have to stop sleeping on my stomach).
Been crying soooooooo much more lately
Despite that, I feel like vomiting all those sad emotions has made me find some joy again. Things are very difficult in my relationship because being trans will end it, but I have more support now than I ever have! I guess I just need to decide whether I'm "trans enough" for transitioning to be worth it
Lots of straight people at the lesbian bar.. just got asked by some dude if I was in line for the men's room. Very cool
clothing dysphoria (envy?) discussion (if that makes sense)
I probably over spoiler but
Its really weird how I can feel... I don't know if its dysphoria or gender envy but I really want to wear girl shorts instead of guy shorts. Its 6 inches of fabric brain, why is that such a big deal? Like really wanting to wear a skirt makes sense because there's nothing like it in normal guy clothing, but shorts? Really? That's what I feel a deep longing in my heart to change?
Also how weird is that? Its not part of my body but... I don't know. It feels a lot like how I want to shave my legs, yaknow? But that's part of me. I guess they're both gender presentation things. I don't know where I'm going with this or if I'm making sense so I'll just cut it off here.
Transphobic clichΓ©
Resigned to the fact that I'll have to constantly explain to cis people the rest of my life that I wasn't "born in the wrong body", I was assigned the wrong gender at birth.
I WASN'T LYING WHEN I SAID BIGGER AND MORE PRIDEFUL THAN EVER BEFORE
People in trans voice lessons who comment "I'm not trans, but..."
Nobody believes you
I don't pass, but people are complimenting my hair. Today a cashier asked me for my haircare routine, which was very flattering
Whenever I feel like I'm "faking it" I just think of all the hexbears who feel the same way, and then the feeling dissolves.
This place is powerful
I keep getting gender euphoria from the weirdest things. Yesterday I had to wear these fireproof/cut proof arm sleeve things for work and my first thought was how good they made my hands look. They were like a pair of cute heather green arm warmers. So here I was admiring how nice my hands looked and thinking about how cute things would look with my nails painted. All the while I'm surrounded by a bunch of steel worker dudes.
Its the middle of winter I'm tired of 'pride' bring on wrath it sounds cosier
working on bringing up them post numbers by saying:
