Wow, I had just gotten out of the shower, my hair looked really nice and I actually felt happy about my appearance for once. The euphoria was so strong it made me cry tears of joy, which I don't think has ever happened to me before. Yeah, I might be struggling with every other aspect of my life, but at least I get to be a cute trans girl! 
Saw myself in our full length mirror last night after showering and I didn't totally hate what I saw.
Defo inspiration to start exercising.
i knew going through HRT would be basically a second puberty but honestly I've been so moody/hormonal in the last month I think just telling myself I'm trans has fucked with my hormones subtly. I haven't felt like this since I was like 17
Weird thing about presenting as a woman outside is that there's now a sub-species of guy who will literally make zero effort to not crash into you if you're walking in opposite directions on a sidewalk.
News from the internet frontline: in the most active of the new Sapphic Book discords I joined, one of the regulars posted this meme:
Which mood, and also I seem to be in better company than I was in the lib cracker discord, cause it got a lotta good reacts :)
Think I'm probably asexual, but I'm going through the same thoughts I had when I was first contemplated my gender so now I'm just confused
AH FUCK I JUST GOT A PHONE CALL FROM PLANNED PARENTHOOD LIKE AN HOUR AGO AND I MISSED IT
one of the best parts about being trans now is that i actually like myself enough to say nice things about myself and genuinely believe them. I was completely and utterly incapable of doing that when I was "cis". That dumb Family Guy ramble was absolute top tier posting, and it was really funny. I'm not funny, I'm a fucking riot, and I actually believe myself when I say that now
Thongs
less affirmation
more discomfort by midday
why did I buy this?
Been a rough couple days. Really hoping things calm down a bit so I can be around a bit more.
CW: Bottom surgery talk, cycle talk, and talk of emotions
Been having a pretty severe issue with my GI tract this week. Not gonna get into it, but I’m starting to become concerned. I’m hoping it’s not a severe complication.
On top of those physical problems, it’s been a rough week emotionally. Bring cooped up and unable to do things for myself is starting to affect me. I just wanna make some breakfast for myself. Gimme like 20 minutes to make a nice bowl of zosui damn it.
Also I slammed directly into my cycle tonight, so that’s going to make matters even worse. It seems it is going to heavily affect my emotions this time around as my brain is attempting to make me cry heavily every time I think of anything that triggers nostalgia or childhood memories. Which is more or less where my only remaining dysphoria lies. Things I can’t fix. Well, hopefully I escape the cramps unlike how I didn’t during the days immediately post-op. Feeling strong cramps right after you’ve had major surgery is actually a nightmare.
Coupled with some external problems and I’m just exhausted emotionally. I didn’t think post-op would be so taxing in the mind, but just the body. Can’t wait to be healed.
can't post late at night because i live on the US west coast and everyone else is asleep. gotta save my banger post for tomorrow morning. going to ask about what your totally 100% very cis thoughts you had as an egg were
i have no real way of saying it but i only ever felt like i was male ironically. this feels weird for a trans girl to say, but like, the most relatable fictional character i felt growing up was Ron Swanson from Parks and Rec. Like, the masculinity was just a dumb act.
"Look at me. I have big muscles and big mustache. I trim this big fucking mustache every morning! I took this job because I hate big government and so I can ensure nothing ever gets done. I hate government and love America and the Constitution and the flag! I don't trust banks so I store my money by burying gold in the fucking woods. The same woods where I have my log cabin where I go hunting in because I love hunting and eating lots of meat! I was a central character in a show that ran for 7 seasons and I only smiled like 3 times. I'm the manliest man on earth and no one else comes close, and as my reward I get to wear a visibly miserable stoic scowl in literally every scene for the rest of my life
at some point writing that i think i forgot that i was pretending to be ron swanson. honestly it's been like 8 years since i've seen that show anyway what the fuck do i remember of it
posting to friends like im in transgendercirclejerk but unironically rn. making a long list of which historical periods are fembrained or masc brained rn, was having trouble with the islamic caliphate, but decided that the Ummayads were gender neutral brained, and all the other iterations of the Caliphates were masc brained but Al Andalus and the Ayyubid Sultanate were fembrained
Are 139 pg/mL estradiol 15 ng/dL testosterone (total) good levels? I don't trust my endo and I'm getting myself all in a panic thinking that maybe my levels have just been off which is why things have been the way they've been for the past two years
just checked old paperwork and my e level was in the 200s 6 months prior wtfff how'd it go down after getting my dose upped?
Transfeminine hormone therapy aims to achieve estradiol and testosterone levels within the normal female range. Commonly recommended ranges for transfeminine people in the literature are 100 to 200 pg/mL (367–734 pmol/L) for estradiol levels and less than 50 ng/dL (1.7 nmol/L) for testosterone levels (Table). However, higher estradiol levels of more than 200 pg/mL (734 pmol/L) can be useful in transfeminine hormone therapy to help suppress testosterone levels.
I'd like to come out but I really don't want it to be a big deal. I know most people in my life would be very supportive, but I also know that a lot of them (the straight ones) will make it a big thing. I came out as pan to a few people and got hugs and encouragement and "I'm so proud of you." That's very nice and they acted with good intentions and I'm sure a lot of people would like that. But the best reaction, and the one I'm looking for, is just a thumbs up and an "ok". Like I dont want it to matter to anyone that I'm pansexual and agender. But I gotta tell people at some point.
Also I don't dislike the people who do a big celebration, I know they're happy for me. But I just want to be more low-key in general
So like idk this is a vent post and I have a lot of fear wrapped up in this but recently my mental health has been quite bad. I am starting to think its my estrogen but really it started after a mushroom trip that left me with a lot of obsessive and intrusive thoughts and anxieties (about 2 months ago). Those specific anxieties have mostly dissipated but I'm still left with this feeling of... general anxiety in my chest. Like, it feels hard to breathe kind of? Everything feels overwhelming. And I've noticed that this gets worse when I inject estrogen, and honestly this scares the fuck out of me.
Before this trip honestly I felt for the most part better than I ever have in my entire life. I was so sure that I was a trans woman. I was on the right path. But now it's like, the estrogen seems to be making me feel like shit? Idk what to do. I don't wanna get off estrogen, I don't want to go back to being a man that's for sure. But like I can't even think straight. I feel miserable and I'm scared I was never meant to be a woman or I made all this up in my head and it'll be like this forever. It's incredibly scary.
Honestly idk what to do. I'm 5 Months in. Maybe my levels are too high? Idk. Maybe I need to get my levels checked
autism and gender intersect in really incredibly unfunny ways
What the actual fuck, dude. This whole fucking gender thing, as in the two that E*rope assholes forced on everybody, is literally fake. The labsls, the associations, gendered things, they are entirely socially constructed. Literally completely, an imperialist fever dream I think. That's what reading Gender Outlaw and then The Gender Accelerationist Manifesto is like.
So hey what the fuck, am I an idiot for calling myself a lesbian? Or a woman, maybe. Because what the fuck right, no one aspect of humans, physical or mental or emotional, is inherently gendered, at all. Stupid fucking idea. So if "woman" is just a vague collection of physical aspects, then "lesbian" is only even kind of a sexuality label. It doesn't indicate if you prefer long hair or short hair, wide hips or slim ones, high voices or low ones, fuck it doesn't even reliably say what sex hormone you prefer in a partner? What the fuck does it even mean, aside from the queer cultural association I guess... it doesn't stop being "lesbian" if you include nonbinary people in that, right? But then what the hell even is the definition of "lesbian"? Not really "woman liker".
So if that's the case, (maybe it isn't Idk) then what the fuck does identifying as a "woman" even mean? I guess it's comfortable to me because it's associated with femininity, I guess. But having long legs or thick thighs or incredibly long hair or boobs or soft skin or small shoulders(not necessarily in width terms) aren't actually gendered at all. Maybe cisnormative views would say those are woman traits, but there are enbies and agender people and genderfluid people and even fuckin' dudes that have some or all of those traits. So um what the fuck??
"Women" actually did get debunked. Motherfucker.... 
This has busted my brain in half in a way that's kind of making me panic, Idek what to feel. Thanks for reading my absurdity?
