I used to be 19 and stupid, ah memories

Now I'm 3_ (don't worry about it, I'm old enough to be your mother) and I'm still stupid

I think I've found a group chat where I feel like I belong :D

cishets really are just out there living like that huh?

come back after like 5 hours tops

272 new comments, some removed, two people talking about leaving

before transitioning, if I wanted to look at boobs, I had to go to www.internet.com and look up "boobs" if I wanted to see boobs

now all I have to do to look at boobs is look down! this is great!

The more I explore my gender, the worse the dysphoria gets.

It's like climbing a rose bush to get the rose. It was one thing to admire it from afar, but the higher I get, the harder I have to grip the thorns.

The good:

• I took a picture of myself last week and it didn't make me feel completely terrible.

• I'm gonna be starting voice training again.

The bad:

• I still don't know what fuck-ups are keeping me from my HRT, doctor at the gender clinic says I shoulda heard back months ago, but also hasn't had word of me not attending the initial appointment to talk about prescriptions so it seems the local gender team forgot about me or something. She's asking around but, it looks like I gotta go knock some heads again (metaphorically).

The meh:

• I'm outta town for most of this week, so if the WGS tries to contact me via housephone (I've told 'em not to but they still do on occasion) there's probably gonna be some confusion from whoever answers the phone.

starting a new stardew farm tonight and that is exciting

but first to survive two more hours of work

Being into stuff that cis men oversaturate fucking sucks, like I'll go look at stuff I nerd out about in a forum and they're making shitty right wing jokes under a picture of a 2004 Ford Taurus

biden dropped out to give news mega the boost it needs to overtake our big beautiful trans posting

I have never felt as trans and happy about it as I am right now. I am excited to transition, on my pace.

I slept weird and now my neck hurts this is bullshit

blahaj drama going stupid rn

I'm out tho, I can't do stupid Internet drama anymore so i left with a deez nuts joke

long live hexbear

I hate hunting for a place to rent. I hate that I can't just force myself to be comfortable in a place with men since it'd be so much easier to find one if I did. I wish I could actually fucking afford a bachelor. I wish I didn't get fucking ghosted 90% of the time I mention I'm trans.

Summer is making me feel like I am always sweating and have light girlstink.

Should I switch to body wash instead of soap?
Would that help?

got my 1 year on hormones bloodwork back today and my levels are GREAT. We love to see it, folks.

I've honestly been feeling really good lately, I can finally just go to the store and buy hormones without having to wait a month to get the bare minimum. I think I passed well enough at work too without all the makeup, goddamn kitchen work and disallowing everything cute, and if that is possible for my 6ft tall, wide af shouldered ass then everything is definitely possible

i'm getting kinda anxious since things are going TOO well recently, shit is bound to hit the fan again soon

600 more comments than the news mega.

Like Christ you crucified me, but in doing so I am your savior.

i love that even the former president getting blasted at didn't have enough staying power to surpass us

waking up at 4 am 😒

I’m glad my parents weren’t super strict about gender-specific toys growing up. I had dinosaurs, my little pony plushies, pink dragons, transformers, and superhero action figures.

Meanwhile one of my brothers says that his son will grow up to be a wimp because he doesn’t play with trucks and prefers baby dolls.

So! Anyone here self-medicating? (a.k.a. "DIY HRT") - I'm a moderater over on r/estrogel, I'd love to get in touch. Anyone here wanting to self-medicate, but have no idea how? Lets talk

How do I know if im gay?

I want to at least try prog but I really don't know how I'll get my hands on it in my shitty country

Estrogen has been super easy to get via grey market sources but progesterone seems more prolematic

I just realized the last time trans women in sports gained this much attention was during the Cold War when NATO countries would constantly whine about how the Soviet Bloc would be entering “biological men” to compete. The accused were mostly intersex but that didn’t stop them from being transphobic.

Dear transfemmes,

What's it like not having to shave anymore? Do you even think about it anymore? Is it great?

I've never loved shaving, but recently it's become very emotionally difficult for me. Please give me something to look forward to

decided to make a resources thread to condense things a bit

I'm on 2 mg of oral estradiol in the morning and 2 mg in the evening and my estradiol levels have gone from 146 pg/mL last year to 82 pg/mL six months ago to 71 pg/mL yesterday. I don't even have balls. We're increasing the dose to thrice daily and I'm gonna switch to injections in three months. Wtf tho.

2 days until I have my appointment to start HRT. Then another 12 days until I can actually start. Is it okay to count the days here? Is that weird? I’m counting them in my head and it’s driving me nuts.

Me, sitting here anxious about going to the store and buying a bracelet and plushy

Trans people in history transitioning with literally no community or medical care

I have no thoughts and I must post

Grrr..

Scrolling the news mega I got caught up and made a comment.

So I'm putting this one here to make up for it.

Remember just a few weeks ago when we celebrated hitting 500 comments on this mega? Now we can do it in less than two days

I have to remind myself that we are a mammalian species and it's fine to have a little bit of peach fuzz on your body.

I might be developing a fear of men.
