So I think the emotional changes from the E are starting to hit me. I have had the giggles for a week (for reference, I laughed at "Bazinga") and I have noticed more mood swings (either great or really bad, I probably need antidepressants). Today was the crying. I found myself crying or on the verge of tears for most of the day, either I was feeling sad and talking about my feelings with my sister or I was so happy to be able to spend time with my sister. I legitimately haven't even been able to cry since my depression was really bad a few years ago, and it honestly feels great to be able to show those kind of feelings, both negative and positive (as it also means I'm feeling them). Starting E has to be one of the greatest things I have ever done in my life.

talking with a close friend of mine about a really fun conversation we once had where at 14 i said that I didn't really feel like a man but I didn't change anything about it because it was "convenient, i guess" i guess. She was a closeted trans woman at the time and i was still thinking i was cis for a long time after

I have confirmation my sister's wedding will be in February.
I have so much time, thank God.

Premise: I don't want to present femme while I have facial hair because it upsets me

Problem: it will take over 6 months before my facial hair is gone

Solution: ???

Hello everyone I hope you are all having a great week, shame that pride ended, tbh it should be the whole summer. Anways, much love and have a great week!!! 🥰🥰🥰🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🥰🥰🥰

Weird/funny thing about transitioning: You know how some people like wearing masks cause it hides their face, letting them pass better? Well HRT has been very good to my face. So ironically, wearing masks makes me more likely to be misgendered.

Is a very rare day where I am not going out full goth. Got a bunch of cute old clothes from a trans man, and wearing them out is very fun.

t4t is the dream tbh

t4t communism ftw

I can't express to you all how excited I am to be able to be cute.

nothing to say, I just like seeing her dance

Spending my day off being eepy in bed in a skirt, life is good.

Inverted transsexual imperialist boomerang: after enforcing modern capitalist patriarchy (two sexes, heterosexuality, nuclear family) in its colonies, Britain now seems to be emulating precolonial forms of gender in order to reinforce the patriarchy: the third sexing of trans women

Big news! This thread also made me break 200 comments on Lemmy I know that's not much but for how little I usually post the 30ish comments here were a lot.

Good morning cute trans people in my phone~ I am feeling very eepy today

I leave for two days to touch grass and y'all make 300 new comments?!

the trans posting squad is gonna easily break 1k comments

Epilating some places is much more painful than others

This is kind of brainwormed and kind of weird, but idk maybe writing about it will help me work through things. So in like 2018-2021 I was more involved in local organizing than any other time. I lived in a pretty rural place, and the only org we had was DSA, so I joined DSA. I can't say that we were building the revolutionary vanguard or anything, but I do think that I did a lot of good work and met really amazing people. It was a really positive thing in my life for a while for both myself and others. I stopped all of that during COVID, mostly because my own life fell apart.

Almost 4 years later I'm doing a lot better, living in a new city with a new degree and new sex hormones. But I'm not involved in the local political scene at all. I don't think I would be useful if I joined an org. For one thing, most of the work we did involved in talking to people. I don't want to go around as a non-passing trans woman talking to strangers all day. I'm probably more shy and awkward than ever these days, even though I'm happier, because I honestly have no idea how I'm perceived. I don't think even liberal people are receptive to me.

But also I'm not sure that I care. Like the local left orgs are involved in a lot of causes. They talk about queer liberation during pride month, and the next month it's on the tenant rights or whatever. Maybe Im a bad person, but I don't care that much about the other stuff. I feel that my community, as in trans people, are under significant threat right, and I want to do everything I can to keep the people I care about safe. I don't have room in my life to worry about others besides them

I know that's not intersectional, and that some members of other marginalized groups are also trans, but Im not sure that matters because honestly I don't trust most of the activists I know to do anything for me if things got really bad. Like sure, they'll use my pronouns when they're not they/theming me, and sometimes they'll be extra friendly because my existence makes them feel diverse or whatever. But they wouldn't shelter me, or break the law for me, or die for me, like I would for the other trans women in my life.

Im sure if I joined all the local orgs I would meet based queer comrades who did have my back. But that's pretty much the only draw for me. And should I really join a group who allegedly wants to do serious work only to use it as a social club?

making a tierlist of medieval/melee weaponry based off of how lesbian i think it is

Finally looking at electrolysis providers like I didn't come out way back in the 2000s 🤡

Everyone's transition is different.

the trans megathreads are reaching a critical mass, soon the world will kneel

We made it to 910 last week LFG!!!

Hair growth update: I look like a UFC fighter from Dagestan

Would you press the button?

What did xi mean by this...

My girlfriend is over, she finished bottom surgery a few months ago. All I wanna do is destroy that pussy but we have to waaiiiiit ugh, I have to be satisfied with my pretty flogger 😒

I started hrt over a year and a half ago and prog 8 months ago, which has been great! But now the clothes I bought a year ago don't fit cause my ass, tits and thighs are too rocking 😫 which, sure, is a nice problem to have but those clothes were cute...

I managed to meet some local trans-ppl. I just had to go to one event, talk to the guy who seemed like an organizer, out myself to him. Get a number for a telegram account from him, write to that account and introduce myself,and then get invited to a weekly get together that's organized over whatsapp.

They were very nice, and I am happy I put in the effort. One is even looking for a roommate. One of the better things to happen to me recently.

Also: is that the normal ammount of effort required, or is this place just special?

the good news is that now i have soft girl skin :)))

the bad news is that it fucking hurts to shave now OWIE
