Sending good vibes to all of my trans comrades

Good morning chapo dot cha--
this happens every time I post before bed, other timezones and sleep schedules are wildin
HAHAHA! YES! MY HAIR IS FINALLY LONG ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO FIT INTO MY MOUTH! IT GROWS!
more family stuff
Very frustrating how my mom seems to become mentally unwell by the fact that I’m no longer dressing and acting like she wants me to. She’s dealing with other stuff that makes her more stressed and on edge but I hate seeing me changing affecting her so much.
I know that I shouldn’t really think about that too much because it’s probably one of the reasons why I never explored my gender feelings further when I was a teen and I won’t let her words affect my transition process but it’s still hard to see and it makes me wonder how she’ll react when I come out as trans.
In the past it’s been a problem that she wants to know everything that’s going on in my life bit will react badly when I explain my mental or physical unwellbeing.
I’m emotionally still dependent on my parents because I don’t have a romantic interest and my friends have their own stuff they’re dealing with and don’t want me to visit them every day (they suck for that tbh). So it’s hard to limit my contact with parents.
Back off I'll take you on - love my trans comrades more than anyone!
@ashinadash@hexbear.net operation curly hair care is a-go and going swimmingly. Armed with my jojoba oil and wide tooth comb, my hair has never looked and felt better!
a bit sad
I don’t think I’m ready to get into a real relationship again but I do wish I had someone to just cuddle with sometimes.
Heard back on soy milk. Around two cups of soy a day is fine with my estrogen (about a gallon a week).
And two gallons is not. And since I get a lot of phytoestrogens elsewhere in my diet, I'm switching milks (maybe almond, oat is expensive for some reason). And switching to tea generally, since almond and oat milk in coffee doesn't do it for me.
I love how long my hair has gotten. It's long enough to completely cover my ears, but not long enough to pull into a ponytail. I love how soft it is and how good it smells after I condition it.

I've been having a good time touching grass, hanging out with my best friends for the past few days, and we're making plans to do it again soon. We've been online friends for months but this is only the second time we've hung out irl (and last time we were both in significantly worse mental spaces.) It's so nice to be together irl with someone on the same autism wavelength as me haha. I'm so excited, in the coming months we'll be able to spend a lot more time together irl.
Just boofed a prog. I expect to wake up with DDs or I will be filling a complaint
BAD VIBES
Not doing great still, it fucking hurts, he literally called me all the chapo.chat slur autofilter words, I thought I am over this but I am so close to call him and scream at him. Fuck whatever made him like this
nsfw
When your hair is long enough to catch on your junk in the shower 
not that pleasant a sensation.
So what're good ingredients for shampoo and conditioner to look for, oils aside? I noticed many conditioners, even the curly ones have various alcohols as the first few ingredients and that seems kinda scuffed to me.
I drink a lot of soy milk. Like two gallons a week. It looks like phytoestrogens can interfere with estrogen. Thinking I should switch to oat milk even though I don't like the texture.
Any pharmacology/diet nerds have any thoughts? I messaged my prescriber the same question too and will update if I hear back from her.
damn I can already notice my chest hair growing back in much lighter shades and far softer than it did before. nice!
I can feel myself developing a special interest in brutalist architecture in real time. I've loved brutalism for a while now but I'm literally like, planning day trips to go see some brutalist buildings near me.
i'm not sure if this is just the estrogen or i was wildly more confident in my muscles before but i keep trying to do any kind of workouts and they have been completely kicking my ass in a way i've never felt before. i keep getting trying these absolute baby beginner workouts and they keep destroying me before i make it a fraction of the way through them. Is this normal on estrogen? I was rather muscular before going on HRT and it's been about 3 months now if that helps. Am I just experiencing normal things or am I just a bigger weenie than I thought?
wish i could paint my nails more often. i did it for trans pride last weekend and it was nice, but i have to remove it super quick because i work with food 
HRT
my wife is geting fucked around by the NHS with her HRT. she moved here from anoher country while on HRT, got an NHS script for cyrpo and estradiol. then hey phone her up the other day and said 'sorry we have to cancel the cypro because a specialist has to prescribe this in britain'. now I know that high doses of cypro, of which stuff like 25mg or 50mg which most trans people take is a high dose, do have adverse long term side effects of spinal cancer and stuff like that, so that might be why? gut reacion ofc says institutional transphobia, but they didn't do anything abou the estradiol which is also ofc anti androgenising; so if it was just a transpobia thing they'd surely cancel the estradiol?
anyways, I told her to get her former doctor to forward relivant diagnoses and stuff, so we'll see. she has a doctors appoinment set up about this to plead her case. I am hoping the NHS is reasonable, because just denying somebody a medication they have been prescribed by a doctor is actually kind of fucked up regardless of transness or not
estrogen, my beloved? where have you been all my life?
the only thing the bbc deserves any credit for is not having any advertisements on the tv and radio stations. laugh about the tv license all you want (i'll join you) but i physically cannot listen to radio with ads. sorry
I've had a few breakups in my life, a few as in literally 4. First one was a fucking disaster, don't want to get into it. Second one was after 5 years with an ex, then third was 5 years after we got back together. Then there was this last one with a new ex.
This one didn't hurt nearly as much! I was surprised. I've never been broken up with, I've always been the instigator, I imagine being dumped probably makes it sting more rather than being the dumpee. After how difficult it was for me, emotionally, the first 3 I'm really surprised by how fast I got over this last one. Cause those first 3 were brutal, months and months and months and months of being down and feeling regret and all that bad shit.
We weren't dating for long, like 5 months, and I guess on some level I figured it wouldn't last the whole time (not sure why, but it was always in the background). I mean, she was nice enough and it's sad it didn't work out but also... it feels so weird that I'm over it.
