Also if anyone wants to be a mod hit me up, always looking for more to join our evil transgender cabal. only criteria is to be a socialist and trans/gender diverse/not a cissie etc. would be really excited to see some trans mascs join!

I really underestimated how transfemmes are treated on the broader internet. I came to understand myself here, and kinda assumed that this place is representative.
With it's acceptance and large presence of trans feminine people, and lack of inane bullshit, but actually this seems to be the exception (apart from like small discord servers).
This is a really good place and much more exceptional in it's protection of trans people than I thought.

Ok so update to my last post: im probably gay.
I always thought I was bisexual, maybe leaning towards men even. But then I decided to seriously date men (and hook up with one also lol), and like idk. I feel like the parts that I liked were just things that made me feel feminine, like the contrast between our bodies or when they take me out and I feel like a woman on a date with a man. I'm sure straight women also enjoy those things, but I'm not sure that Im actually very attracted to male bodies. And maybe I don't actually like it when they touch me.
But what really convinced me lol is that I also matched with another trans person and I'm way, way more interested in them than any guy I've talked to. Like I didn't totally get their gender at first cause they didn't say much about it, but just my instinctual reaction was "this person is really pretty and I want to get to know them". It turns out they're like transfem non-binary. We got coffee the other day and Im going to see them again on Friday, which im like really we excited about.
But even if that doesn't work out it seems like pretty good evidence. Like my reaction to men has just been increasingly meh and as soon as I randomly found someone who wasn't a man I like instantly had a crush on them lol. So yeah, being gay is ok I guess.

When someone in a trans shitposting community posts a femboy meme in which two girls joke that they're actually boys, and a few trans women point out that it's a problematic post because it implies that trans women are men, and then defenders are like "but femboys can be trans!"

Depression has wound up hard the last couple of days. Still hasn't fully gone away since starting up 3 weeks ago. Dysphoria decided to pop up again for the first time since bottom surgery as well. It's excessively bad right now, too. Shan't get into it because I really don't want to trigger others' dysphoria, which is partially why I've been sent into this spiral. I always find myself wanting to help people out with their issues here, but it takes its mental toll on me over time. And well, I probably shouldn't be trying nowadays all things considered. I genuinely should take a break, but I don't want to leave you folks here. This is a great community and I love all of you.

Yesterday was my first full day since starting HRT Friday. And it was mostly amazing! Chronic pain symptoms are way down. It was 90% the tension of not being myself. Being in high alert trauma mode for literally decades.
::: spoiler trauma triggers
But my trauma did get triggered yesterday. Went to a beach to hang out with some friends in a more conservative neighborhood. A lot of macho energy and drinking. I may have felt safer boy moding, but then again, I boymoded for decades in these kinds of situations and still had trauma triggered.
Felt the neck tension return when I walked to the bathroom with my girlfriend. It's still pretty tight but I'm feeling safe now and going to do my morning Qi Gong at the lake... back in my liberal little bubble.

Slept really well (not the norm but hopefully the new norm). I think I was letting go of a lot of things in my sleep.

::: spoiler navel gazing, cw discussion of sex related stuff
::: spoiler I'm having a whole day today, a lot going on internally.
I guess maybe it's being NB (again) or else I've had some kind of internal seeing-the-light moment, but I have pleasant, weird and new perceptions of myself and my expressions and a lot of things I do.
If you asked me six months ago what I thought of being touched below the belt, I would probably have said "don't even fucking think about it". Now though, I can honestly say that I have had sex without any real dysphoria, which in itself feels weird. I've been a dysphoric little bitch my entire life, and now it's just... fine? I did not feel the need to instantly pull up the covers or whatever afterword. I'm not convinced that my junk bothers me in sexual terms. Cool?? Could I have spent the last decade not suffering if I'd just forsaken binary genders?????? Did it really have that much of an impact on my self-perception and everything??? I guess so...
To be fair, part of this is all that excruciating trauma processing I did a couple megathreads ago =) My mind and its stream of consciousness will still float away and think irrelevant things if I let it, but having put in all the work to actively rein that shit in means I can think clearly about whatever is currently going on, ask myself what I want, what I'm gonna do. I feel ridiculously clear headed now; whereas before I would barely speak, I have a lot less trouble expressing what I want. Maybe I will be ready to do something funny and kinky at some point?
TL;DR yeag

::: spoiler struggle session talk
Sorry for lashing out at everyone, yesterday.
Sometimes it just feels like I am only viewed as this like...charity case that has to be guided or condescended to and everything I say is wrong.
I was still kind of sensitive about the whole thing from a few days ago, so when I was trying to have a genuine conversation with Ash, but Smiley just comes along with what felt to me a very pithy and hostile and unproductive comment just targeting me and basically (in my eyes) calling me a transphobe it really hurt my feelings.
I'm grateful one of the mods eventually did remove the comment, but at the time it just felt like anything I said was under such intense scrutiny, but anything anyone said to me was fair game.
Like I would be chastised for calling someone delusion (which I shouldn't have done), but people had free reign to call me or liken me to fascists or phrenologists and transphobes.
Which to me is really hurtful.
And seeing all the upbears those comments get just kind of makes or made me feel like I was just surrounded by people who hate me, when this server should feel welcoming.
The anonymous nature of those upbears just kind of increasing my paranoia and making me lash out at everyone.
The only person I knew I was upset with (and who seemed to hate me) was Smiley so I made a post saying she should block me because I didn't want her interacting with me.
The way I did this wasn't very calm or mature, even when I tried to be more level-headed about it after my first comment was removed.
It probably could have/should have been a DM.
I kind of wish it had been because I really did not appreciate her claiming I purposefully misgendered her because I have a habit of using singular they.
She knew I was already sensitive about her previous comments that, in my mind, called me a transphobe. So her making such an accusation felt very purposeful and like she was further trying to upset me, and worse, manipulative like she was trying to get everyone to hate me.
That could or could not be the case, but that's how it felt to me at the time, for what it's worth I am sorry if it genuinely upset you that I used they.
I'm not really trying to dig up the drama, I just want to explain my side of things.

::: spoiler really awful horrifying sexual trauma processing ft Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl
Weirdly, despite the fact I stopped having rejection-sensitivity-fueled breakdowns about A Novels, I find Paul is still giving me psychic damage, maybe more now than before. Not in an obvious way, but to where it fucks with my mental state and makes me wobbly and weird and anxious and worried.
Literally I think what's happening is that, to an extent, some certain depictions of sex acts between men will fucking freak me out. My ex and I were both ostensibly sad little gay boys when we met, so uh there was a lot of that, and a lot of that did not stop when transition started, which is where the trauma mixes in. The only memories I have of "male sexuality" (as in ostensibly being a guy during sex) and the associated terms and acts are horrible and traumatising. I guess it's to the point where when similar things show up in a weirdbook, psychic damage.
This makes sense since I have not really read gay-dude sex before, this is kind of the first time, Paul is a lovely complicated little weird thing. But it's kind of fucking lame and I don't really love the idea that certain kinds of sex just EXISTING will trigger my fucking trauma, that really distresses me. I guess that's reality though? So here's to not reading about dudes having sex I guess...
I hate this, this is terrible, I've been feeling really good about all the sex stuff recently, but I guess it makes sense I would stumble into "damage" at some point. Blegh...

Okay chat, maybe I stayed up a little late last night and maybe I played an entire season of stardew valley and maybe I'm really eepy today.
Some of the notable events for spring of year 1:
Got a cat, named her mittens.
On day 13 I made it to floor 9 of the mines and got the slime boss floor, made it out with 1hp and 3 thousand dollars (basically everything at that point)
planted an absolute ton of cauliflower
Gave a bunch of gifts, mostly to Leah and Abigail (no decisions have been made yet)
I picked mushrooms and the tiller profession
Just on day 27 I made 14k
Started the summer with 13k in cash, the first backpack upgrade, a coop, level 20 in the mines and lots of stored food for my future kitchen.
I have since spent most of the money, mostly getting a ton of crops. My silly girl brain didn't upgrade my watering can during the final days of spring or use
fertilizer on my 100 blueberries so
This game is so much better as a girl and every time an npc calls me my name or genders me I get a rush of euphoria.

I have spent the entire day arguing with liberals on reddit, I regret nothing because I dunked hard on them
As you can see, this one comes in two lengths, as is pretty normal for lolita brands to do. Of the two I prefer the short, but that's pretty normal for my preference since I like to get a little more leg visible so the socks can get some attention.
The dress itself is lovely of course, the theming is obviously historic so this falls under classic lolita, which means it's exactly my sorta shit since I'm particularly interested in that style. This one is actually quite similar to another, much cheaper dress I already own so I won't get it (+ I'm poor like usual anyways), it's currently on its reservation period if anyone is interested though!
I adore the ruffled skirt of this one, it's so pretty and looks so fun to twirl around in~
God and the bonnet! The lace motif they have here is gorgeous, and it pops so nicely on the dark red version. The lace motifs look phenomenal around the waist too. And it's all tied together with that lovely brooch and bow to draw the eye when you're closer up.

This evening is a queer meet-up, but I am feeling dysphoric, don't know if I'll go. I know self isolation is bad, maybe I'll feel different after the shower and a second shave.
Also I am so happy I'll leave my flatmate behind in a week, she yesterday implied that my lack of attachment to this shitty flat is, cause of my "male socialisation", or what she actually said: cause I am "mannish". She had an almost nervous breakdown over an electric kettle once, in comparison to that, I am the buddah.

Up until a couple of days ago I would've told you I was a cis dude. I kinda new something was up but didn't know much about enby identities and never gave it much thought.
Read through the gender dysphoria bible. Holy shit, worlds most dangerous document. Less than 48 hours later I think I might be grill.
On one hand I can't help but keep noticing things I don't like about myself but I feel better for it. Like I've been miserable with everything in my life and I couldn't put my finger on it until now.
One of my closest family members killed themselves a couple of years ago. The world hasn't felt this vibrant since I lost them.
I think I figured out a way to help me feel whole. But I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.
Small step but I had to get a new USB-C DAC to replace my busted ass BTR5. Got one in this girly teal/green color that isn't super obvious, and shouldn't raise cis eyebrows.

I got prescribed a new antidepressant, escitalopram, at the appointment. i have mixed feelings about antidepressants and have been very wary of them after a couple of negative experiences, but my depression has been so all-encompassing since the start of this year that I feel like I need something. also I wanna go back on prog, I had to stop it because it made my depression and mood swings worse but I'm hoping with the mood stabiliser/antidepressant in the mix it will have a better effect on me. so I'm gonna start taking those two things this week, wish my brain and boobs luck comrades:)

::: spoiler hrt questions
Once I start on t-blockers how soon will it be until I start having some effects from it? Like spontaneous erections are very annoying to me. I'd love to see less aggression towards myself and my loved ones, etc.
Will it be pretty immediate? I know the secondary sex characteristics from the estrogen will take a long time. But I would really just like to not be under the influence of testosterone all the time. And the faster that happens I think the happier I will be and my partner will be.
Appointment is for Friday!

When I looked in the mirror I noticed my hairline masculinizing, I used to look so much more 'rounded'. That was a neat thing. Things otherwise have been going better than they usually do, makes me fear when they'll go wrong.
I am however dreading a therapist appt next week, managed to finally get to see one (I forgot I was on a waiting list for the local community clinic, just got the call the other day), I am worried she'll be nearly traumatically transphobic as my PT was since that's the default out here, everyone is a bigot and that's how it is, though if she's that bad I'll just drive 2hrs away, I didn't want to, but I've replaced a bunch of parts on my ancient car, so it can probably take the stress. At least both places are on a sliding scale, so that's helpful.

My neighbours are nice to me. Was walking the dogs with my wife and one of the friendly people on the corner yelled out "morning girls!". I'm very obviously trans and it's just nice to have this community of people that are all like 20-40 years older than me (aging little burb/village) be so uncaring about it.
Also I'm starting to age and feeling insecure about it instead of silver-foxy. Have I finally accepted myself? :P

::: spoiler autism discussion
Was inspired by all the 'tism talk in the mega to retake the tests on Embrace Autism again. I took them a few years ago, scored in the autistic range, got further confirmation by a psychiatrist who agreed that I probably am autistic, and basically forgot about it. Honestly, out of all my various neurodivergencies, I feel like my autism is the one that causes me the least pain and distress. I despise my OCD and my ADHD, but my autism? My autism is cool.
Anyways, I scored 34 on AQ, 154 on RAADS-R, and to my surprise, 102 on CAT-Q??? I guess I mask a lot less than I thought I did. Maybe that's why I struggle a lot socially, lol. I definitely don't relate to the common autistic experience of following a social "script", though I do try my best to be nice. My experience with trying to socialize with people in-person (especially in school settings) is that I will have a nice, friendly first meeting, and then those people will just... not be friends with me, and become friends with other people instead. I wonder if I just subconsciously radiate those autistic vibes, lol.

First, thank you AmandaBynesThought for writing a whole effortpost to help me. I hope no one feels like they have to write another to try and help me (right now) because honestly I haven't tried very hard (story of my fucking life)
GOD I don't even know if I'm fucking HUMMING properly. I'm so fucking stupid. How can I not know how to hum. And how do I know when it "cracks" like wtf, or what's a couple "notes" down. What's fucking RESONANCE MEAN. Its all just so frustrating and I feel so stupid. I'm such a fucking quiter too. literally try for like 10 minutes two days and want to give up. how the fuck am I supposed to transition when I give up on fucking everything so god damn fast. Whatever, I'll try harder later.
Hope no one feels the need to spend a bunch of energy explaining shit to me, I'm sure I could google it and find the answers. If you have a favorite guide or something I'd appreciate it though.

::: spoiler mental health talk, specifically anxiety
It's funny, I used to think I didn't really have an anxiety disorder, but now I think it's staring me in my face and I have to face it. I'm not going to get better just trying to deny that it exists. It's affecting my relationships with people, especially since I have horrible anxiety around texting, and that's the main communication channel everyone uses. Getting a panic attack whenever I see a notification that someone texted me and then leaving it unread for weeks because just thinking about it will cause another panic attack is... really just not conducive for modern existence.
My anxiety is also definitely connected to my ADHD and what I suspect is C-PTSD. I get really bad RSD and I experience a ton of shame, which feeds back into the anxiety and makes it worse. I'm honestly a huge mess mental health-wise, it's kind of embarrassing lol.

Anybody else have a bit of a rough time with epilators (other than the pain, of course)? I find that often, especially on my arms, the hair seems to grow back pretty quickly. I'm thinking that while some of the hairs are being pulled out, others are snapping, therefore making it similar to shaving them. Is there any way to get them to come out instead of snapping, or should I just do upkeep with the epilator in hopes that these hairs will eventually come out?

New Announcement, public matrix chat: https://hexbear.net/post/3088303
here to abuse my mod powers and say
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY HEXBEAR! Here's to another four years of loving our transgender comrades
Also if anyone wants to be a mod hit me up, always looking for more to join our evil transgender cabal. only criteria is to be a socialist and trans/gender diverse/not a cissie etc. would be really excited to see some trans mascs join!
I really underestimated how transfemmes are treated on the broader internet. I came to understand myself here, and kinda assumed that this place is representative.
With it's acceptance and large presence of trans feminine people, and lack of inane bullshit, but actually this seems to be the exception (apart from like small discord servers).
This is a really good place and much more exceptional in it's protection of trans people than I thought.
I think it's very funny that as a small child I was like the textbook example of autism and yet nobody suspected I was autistic, probably because I was not a boy lol. Just goes to show how gender interacts with the medical field I guess.
Late at night, thinking about how they put lil trans people in my phone and computer for me to chat with
how am i supposed to girlbuy new girlclothes if i keep having to girlpay girlbills
Sometimes I go on trans spaces on tumblr, and there is so much bullshit and wreckers and stuff there. I didn't know how good we have it here.
The "discourse" currently is about how egg jokes are harmful to gnc men, and don't respect their identities.
50% of the time when i upbear someone its just so they know i read it so they dont feel like they were ignored
boymoding for safety reasons :sicko-wistful:
boymoding to be the prettiest twink at the house party
My baby sister just called me sister on Facebook.
I started crying it felt so good.
Ok so update to my last post: im probably gay.
I always thought I was bisexual, maybe leaning towards men even. But then I decided to seriously date men (and hook up with one also lol), and like idk. I feel like the parts that I liked were just things that made me feel feminine, like the contrast between our bodies or when they take me out and I feel like a woman on a date with a man. I'm sure straight women also enjoy those things, but I'm not sure that Im actually very attracted to male bodies. And maybe I don't actually like it when they touch me.
But what really convinced me lol is that I also matched with another trans person and I'm way, way more interested in them than any guy I've talked to. Like I didn't totally get their gender at first cause they didn't say much about it, but just my instinctual reaction was "this person is really pretty and I want to get to know them". It turns out they're like transfem non-binary. We got coffee the other day and Im going to see them again on Friday, which im like really we excited about.
But even if that doesn't work out it seems like pretty good evidence. Like my reaction to men has just been increasingly meh and as soon as I randomly found someone who wasn't a man I like instantly had a crush on them lol. So yeah, being gay is ok I guess.
So apparently my entire issue with stardew valley being boring was because I was playing as a guy. Silly me, by playing as a girl I'm around 100x more invested in her cute little life.
I wonder if this has any real life implications
Will certainly be interesting to see.
::: spoiler blahaj instance I made a post on the trans blahaj comm about how the mega here got 3k comments and it was very highly upvoted, of course it attracted a ton of transphobic trolls (who likely aren't trans, shocker) that don't get removed and Ada is talking about how its cool and good to include fascist and exclusionary trans people in the comments because Hexbear is mean to them, oh and also being a socialist trans person is fringe, apparently. New to me! :::

When someone in a trans shitposting community posts a femboy meme in which two girls joke that they're actually boys, and a few trans women point out that it's a problematic post because it implies that trans women are men, and then defenders are like "but femboys can be trans!"

Shan't get into it because I really don't want to trigger others' dysphoria, which is partially why I've been sent into this spiral.

So my best friend, who has know I was trans for a few months, is over at my house tonight. Which is normal, he comes over all the time. What's new is that I'm still in girlmode. And chat, I'm having the time of my life. This is the first time I've girlmoded while someone was over.

The place isn't perfect but it's nicer than any other I've seen so far. And I'm just so, so relieved to actually have a place finally.

trans people will be 23 and walk up to you and say "I'm 31, actually" and pull out their ID that makes them older than they really are. No girl, you're not a day over 25, stop lying, you do NOT look remotely that old
::: spoiler navel gazing, cw discussion of sex related stuff ::: spoiler I'm having a whole day today, a lot going on internally.
I guess maybe it's being NB (again) or else I've had some kind of internal seeing-the-light moment, but I have pleasant, weird and new perceptions of myself and my expressions and a lot of things I do.
If you asked me six months ago what I thought of being touched below the belt, I would probably have said "don't even fucking think about it". Now though, I can honestly say that I have had sex without any real dysphoria, which in itself feels weird. I've been a dysphoric little bitch my entire life, and now it's just... fine? I did not feel the need to instantly pull up the covers or whatever afterword. I'm not convinced that my junk bothers me in sexual terms. Cool?? Could I have spent the last decade not suffering if I'd just forsaken binary genders?????? Did it really have that much of an impact on my self-perception and everything??? I guess so...
To be fair, part of this is all that excruciating trauma processing I did a couple megathreads ago =) My mind and its stream of consciousness will still float away and think irrelevant things if I let it, but having put in all the work to actively rein that shit in means I can think clearly about whatever is currently going on, ask myself what I want, what I'm gonna do. I feel ridiculously clear headed now; whereas before I would barely speak, I have a lot less trouble expressing what I want. Maybe I will be ready to do something funny and kinky at some point?
TL;DR
yeag

More sappy posting about being gendered correctly on this funny bear website.
Someone referred to me as her the other day and
literally can't stop thinking about it and how happy it makes me feel.
::: spoiler struggle session talk Sorry for lashing out at everyone, yesterday.
Sometimes it just feels like I am only viewed as this like...charity case that has to be guided or condescended to and everything I say is wrong.
I was still kind of sensitive about the whole thing from a few days ago, so when I was trying to have a genuine conversation with Ash, but Smiley just comes along with what felt to me a very pithy and hostile and unproductive comment just targeting me and basically (in my eyes) calling me a transphobe it really hurt my feelings.
I'm grateful one of the mods eventually did remove the comment, but at the time it just felt like anything I said was under such intense scrutiny, but anything anyone said to me was fair game.
Like I would be chastised for calling someone delusion (which I shouldn't have done), but people had free reign to call me or liken me to fascists or phrenologists and transphobes.
Which to me is really hurtful.
And seeing all the upbears those comments get just kind of makes or made me feel like I was just surrounded by people who hate me, when this server should feel welcoming.
The anonymous nature of those upbears just kind of increasing my paranoia and making me lash out at everyone.
The only person I knew I was upset with (and who seemed to hate me) was Smiley so I made a post saying she should block me because I didn't want her interacting with me.
The way I did this wasn't very calm or mature, even when I tried to be more level-headed about it after my first comment was removed.
It probably could have/should have been a DM.
I kind of wish it had been because I really did not appreciate her claiming I purposefully misgendered her because I have a habit of using singular they.
She knew I was already sensitive about her previous comments that, in my mind, called me a transphobe. So her making such an accusation felt very purposeful and like she was further trying to upset me, and worse, manipulative like she was trying to get everyone to hate me.
That could or could not be the case, but that's how it felt to me at the time, for what it's worth I am sorry if it genuinely upset you that I used they.
I'm not really trying to dig up the drama, I just want to explain my side of things.

::: spoiler really awful horrifying sexual trauma processing ft Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl Weirdly, despite the fact I stopped having rejection-sensitivity-fueled breakdowns about A Novels, I find Paul is still giving me psychic damage, maybe more now than before. Not in an obvious way, but to where it fucks with my mental state and makes me wobbly and weird and anxious and worried.
Literally I think what's happening is that, to an extent, some certain depictions of sex acts between men will fucking freak me out. My ex and I were both ostensibly sad little gay boys when we met, so uh there was a lot of that, and a lot of that did not stop when transition started, which is where the trauma mixes in. The only memories I have of "male sexuality" (as in ostensibly being a guy during sex) and the associated terms and acts are horrible and traumatising. I guess it's to the point where when similar things show up in a weirdbook, psychic damage.
This makes sense since I have not really read gay-dude sex before, this is kind of the first time, Paul is a lovely complicated little weird thing. But it's kind of fucking lame and I don't really love the idea that certain kinds of sex just EXISTING will trigger my fucking trauma, that really distresses me. I guess that's reality though? So here's to not reading about dudes having sex I guess...
I hate this, this is terrible, I've been feeling really good about all the sex stuff recently, but I guess it makes sense I would stumble into "damage" at some point. Blegh... :::

As you can see, this one comes in two lengths, as is pretty normal for lolita brands to do. Of the two I prefer the short, but that's pretty normal for my preference since I like to get a little more leg visible so the socks can get some attention.
https://lemmygrad.ml/pictrs/image/cf49d28d-52f7-41dd-adc5-34c17d8a7ee5.jpeg
The dress itself is lovely of course, the theming is obviously historic so this falls under classic lolita, which means it's exactly my sorta shit since I'm particularly interested in that style. This one is actually quite similar to another, much cheaper dress I already own so I won't get it (+ I'm poor like usual anyways), it's currently on its reservation period if anyone is interested though!
I adore the ruffled skirt of this one, it's so pretty and looks so fun to twirl around in~

Also I am so happy I'll leave my flatmate behind in a week, she yesterday implied that my lack of attachment to this shitty flat is, cause of my "male socialisation", or what she actually said: cause I am "mannish".

I managed to get up before the afternoon today for the first time in weeks. it was because i had to for a psych appointment, but still pleased with myself. it wasn't even that hard to get up!
I got prescribed a new antidepressant, escitalopram, at the appointment. i have mixed feelings about antidepressants and have been very wary of them after a couple of negative experiences, but my depression has been so all-encompassing since the start of this year that I feel like I need something. also I wanna go back on prog, I had to stop it because it made my depression and mood swings worse but I'm hoping with the mood stabiliser/antidepressant in the mix it will have a better effect on me. so I'm gonna start taking those two things this week, wish my brain and boobs luck comrades:)
I've been doing some research on top surgery recently, and I'm a little bit worried because my insurance says that it might deny (laundry list of cpt codes that align with gender affirming surgeries) as "cosmetic procedures".

Like there was a dirty secret I couldn't share. Anytime I'm doing stuff with my family I can't stop thinking about it. What am I going to do chat. And for some reason, all this comes with a (un)healthy helping of doubt. Am I trans, or have I talked myself into it somehow. I don't think I have but the feelings/fears are still there.
I think I'm going to finally change my pronouns to they/them on discord though. Still not what I want but a lot less drastic then she/her, yaknow?

new friends! take a look
got high last night and started fantasizing about what it would have been like to have been a neurotypical cis lesbian girl back in high school and how that seemed like a lost world i can never have had but should of, yet i remember following it later with a strong feeling of trans pride in an inexplicable way to where I get to instead have the lived experience of a trans woman, which is rewarding and prideworthy in its own right
now i don't know what to think other than "ugh i got to leave for work soon"
We gotta boost these numbers a bit if we wanna be a thousand ahead of news.
if you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.

Ok I'm quitting Spiro. I have to sleep I can't take this anymore. I am so exhausted it's hard to describe. I feel like a zombie. I hope this actually fixes my insomnia because if it doesn't I am a bit at a loss
went to turn my shower on and the shower head just basically exploded. ugh
When I looked in the mirror I noticed my hairline masculinizing, I used to look so much more 'rounded'. That was a neat thing. Things otherwise have been going better than they usually do, makes me fear when they'll go wrong.
I am however dreading a therapist appt next week, managed to finally get to see one (I forgot I was on a waiting list for the local community clinic, just got the call the other day), I am worried she'll be nearly traumatically transphobic as my PT was since that's the default out here, everyone is a bigot and that's how it is, though if she's that bad I'll just drive 2hrs away, I didn't want to, but I've replaced a bunch of parts on my ancient car, so it can probably take the stress. At least both places are on a sliding scale, so that's helpful.

But hey it ain't he this time at leastChat I would dox myself in an instant to show you how incredible the results of the "Wide Tooth Comb ft. Oils and Conditioner and Blackjack" routine from wet. I dunno if my hair has ever looked better than this. That was probably the best shower I've ever taken in my life.
Weirdly my hair seems to be drying from the bottom to the top? I just put it in a towel for like 20mins, like usual, Idk why it is doing this.

::: spoiler small dysphoria talk after i hit the bullshit male puberty my face was always covered in a layer of grease, like it was never ending. i could wipe it with a paper towel and see the grease on it. now that i'm on the good shit and my T levels are down my facial skin is SO GOOD it's so much better it's ridiculous. i'm fucking pissed how i could've had a good skin without the slight acne scarring (which has been fading thanks to E) that i still have
this sucks

Oh shit! I have boobs now. I can touch bobs whenever I want!
I wonder was the the blahaj drama orchestrated to drive more trans lefties to hexbear and to further boost the traa mega?
My neighbours are nice to me. Was walking the dogs with my wife and one of the friendly people on the corner yelled out "morning girls!". I'm very obviously trans and it's just nice to have this community of people that are all like 20-40 years older than me (aging little burb/village) be so uncaring about it.
Also I'm starting to age and feeling insecure about it instead of silver-foxy. Have I finally accepted myself? :P
::: spoiler dysphoria Try not to sad post too much but the happy/sad ratio has been improving a lot.
The disconnect between body and mind is just always there, always reminding me. I feel like I'm looking out at the world as a girl, but it doesn't see me that way. And I understand why.
Just wrapping myself up in a blanket and trying not to look at my body too much. ::: spoiler genitals Also random erections
wtf penis.

Feeling cute today :3
compliments reaching dangerous levels of flirtatiousness
I slept poorly last night and got up early today. Now I'm so exhausted that even my adderall isn't working like it usually does
I've been in a terrible, angry sour mood for like 2 days I'm OVER IT. I have nothing else to destroy. Go away feelings
My mother is finally gendering me correctly, she has been really supportive(even if she is really gnc, so she doesn't really get feminity I think), but that was something she had her problems with
Being trans is really nice, I don't get all that anxiety over egg-jokes. So weird.
OBTAINED: 2x wide toothed comb, (more) jojoba oily curly-specific shampoo, and scrunchies, to go with the hydrating shampoo and towel dry methods. I am so ready to have curly hair all day every day. Let's fucking go
::: spoiler Image. Nothing bad about it.
Omg, so gender. :::
it's not spironolactone, MOM, it's a Piss Speedrun:tm:
Feeling very eepy after all the excitement from today. G'nite silly little transes in my phone, I love you all~
I know lingerie isn't really sleepwear but I love sleeping in my mediocre lingerie nightgown, it makes me feel like me and that's nice even if it's uncomfy.
And on that note I turn to sleep, g'nite megathread~
My biggest fear: becoming a middle aged man
Music Iโve been listening to: Deftones, Chevelle (I only know of middle aged men who listen to them)
I think the Chappell Roan Minecraft parodies and Not Like Us mashups put me back in the right demographic, though.
No one on this bus is masking
::: spoiler vaguely sad Being a babytrans is so hard why did no one warn me. I mean I already tried to keep my shell intact but I'd have tried harder.
Being an elder trans better be as good as you all make it out to be

I had a really productive day of DIY-ing yesterday โ added patches to an oversized button-down that I just know I'm going to live in, plus finished adding patches to a pair of shorts that I'm trying to keep relatively simple. Then I started trying to sew up some homemade grommet tape and everything went into chaos. Hopefully I can finish that up today but honestly, with the shitty grommet attacher that I have that doesn't work half the time, I'm not as optimistic as I want to be.
Post orchi does being kicked โin the ballsโ feel good bc of the parineum?/j
Trans mega has risen
done some cleaning, a bunch of reading, and went out and bought food today. all in all a successful day
we're back in it. news mega can kiss my ass
What is the current state of the diy electro kit? The post isn't pinned anymore. It is a really cool project.
might've just found the greatest minecraft mod https://modrinth.com/mod/estrogen
502 bad gateway, hexbear get some better gateways smgdh (shake my girl dick head)
my ability to be simultaneously incredibly laid back and incredibly high-strung is genuinely incredible
Just woke up and I feel like shit but also better than last night. Literally as soon as I got in bed and started listening to music I just fell asleep, barely any time to listen to it, but I was hoping to just nap a little so I forgot to do all the actual pre-sleep stuff I usually do so my mouth tastes like shit and I feel a touch dehydrated.
would anyone like to synchronize screaming into a pillow? i don't really have a good reason to be doing so but that doesn't matter. all motivations welcome
::: spoiler autism discussion Was inspired by all the 'tism talk in the mega to retake the tests on Embrace Autism again. I took them a few years ago, scored in the autistic range, got further confirmation by a psychiatrist who agreed that I probably am autistic, and basically forgot about it. Honestly, out of all my various neurodivergencies, I feel like my autism is the one that causes me the least pain and distress. I despise my OCD and my ADHD, but my autism? My autism is cool.
Anyways, I scored 34 on AQ, 154 on RAADS-R, and to my surprise, 102 on CAT-Q??? I guess I mask a lot less than I thought I did. Maybe that's why I struggle a lot socially, lol. I definitely don't relate to the common autistic experience of following a social "script", though I do try my best to be nice. My experience with trying to socialize with people in-person (especially in school settings) is that I will have a nice, friendly first meeting, and then those people will just... not be friends with me, and become friends with other people instead. I wonder if I just subconsciously radiate those autistic vibes, lol. :::
If I do anything in my life, it's gonna be getting really good at playing the organ. Current life goal is turning into a cute girl and getting damn good at the B3. Im gonna take y'all to church.
I'm so over working rn, it's just 12 hour shifts and only 3 in a row but at the end I'm just tired
::: spoiler rant about voice training, self directed ableist language (sorry, just can't think of how else to say things sometimes) First, thank you AmandaBynesThought for writing a whole effortpost to help me. I hope no one feels like they have to write another to try and help me (right now) because honestly I haven't tried very hard (story of my fucking life)
GOD I don't even know if I'm fucking HUMMING properly. I'm so fucking stupid. How can I not know how to hum. And how do I know when it "cracks" like wtf, or what's a couple "notes" down. What's fucking RESONANCE MEAN. Its all just so frustrating and I feel so stupid. I'm such a fucking quiter too. literally try for like 10 minutes two days and want to give up. how the fuck am I supposed to transition when I give up on fucking everything so god damn fast. Whatever, I'll try harder later.
Hope no one feels the need to spend a bunch of energy explaining shit to me, I'm sure I could google it and find the answers. If you have a favorite guide or something I'd appreciate it though. ::: I know this sounds like a really negative post but I've actually been completely girl vibing all night and plan on going to bed very happy. Just frustrated at myself, but not in a sad way.
Playing tony hawk's underground and it kind of sucks that the character creator locks you to male gender :/
22:30: "I'm going to sleep early today".
My brain at 0:58 AM: "that was a nice nap ma'am but you've got to wake up you have many chores and work to do at 3 in the morning!"
Doing the water drop test to identify my benzyl alcohol and MCT oil. In one of them the water drop stayed cohesive on top, the other one it kinda broke into smaller droplets and diffused a bit. The first one is oil and the second is alcohol right?
I hate how everything is a fucking app these days why the god damn fuck can I not sign up for lex on my computer. It wouldn't be as big of an issue if they didn't have some shitty browser auth that fails (probably because my phone likes to open a private browser tab for apps instead of the full browser app). Like wow guys wouldn't it be easier to verify my browser IF I WAS USING A FUCKING WEB BROWSER TO DO THIS. JUST LET ME SIGN UP LIKE I DO FOR EVERYTHING ELSE ON THE ENTIRE INTERNET.
Anyway I'm just annoyed I can't see how many cool gay things are happening near me that I won't even go to, maybe I'll debug it later. Right now I have girl farming to do.
20mg of Medikinet, actually able to work on stuff I want to work on like sphynx-site.
Hopefully it can help me actually do something about my body.
Okay, so now that I have achieved fuckin Curly Girl Zen and have beautiful hair, I draw attention to my original question - what is the strat for curly bangs? My bangs resolve into this bizarre arrangement of ringlets that look like I left curlers in at weird angles. Kind of unpresentable. How style curly bangs?
Tfw I just want to read orange book instead of work but today's another 12 hour day ๐
New mega new me
Feel like a bug that just molted ๐, all nice and clean
::: spoiler mental health talk, specifically anxiety It's funny, I used to think I didn't really have an anxiety disorder, but now I think it's staring me in my face and I have to face it. I'm not going to get better just trying to deny that it exists. It's affecting my relationships with people, especially since I have horrible anxiety around texting, and that's the main communication channel everyone uses. Getting a panic attack whenever I see a notification that someone texted me and then leaving it unread for weeks because just thinking about it will cause another panic attack is... really just not conducive for modern existence.
My anxiety is also definitely connected to my ADHD and what I suspect is C-PTSD. I get really bad RSD and I experience a ton of shame, which feeds back into the anxiety and makes it worse. I'm honestly a huge mess mental health-wise, it's kind of embarrassing lol. :::
Agh, just had a scare almost losing my wallet. Feel like my memory has been so shot lately.
Itโs a new high score for me! Personal best? Am I pregante?
Okay the crying is slowing down, think I'm gonna go to sleep now before it has a chance to start up again. G'nite silly little transes, I'll speak to you all again tomorrow ๐
Anybody else have a bit of a rough time with epilators (other than the pain, of course)? I find that often, especially on my arms, the hair seems to grow back pretty quickly. I'm thinking that while some of the hairs are being pulled out, others are snapping, therefore making it similar to shaving them. Is there any way to get them to come out instead of snapping, or should I just do upkeep with the epilator in hopes that these hairs will eventually come out?

I don't know how many people are still online but my sadness has ended, I am back to girlvibing
Also shaved my arms.
::: spoiler volcel violations ah FUCK the girl horny is only getting stronger ans stronger and it's turning me into such a brat and i have no idea how to cope with these new emotions

Tried out eyeliner for the first time, I liked it, but I really need some practice. Probably gonna apply some each evening before I wash my face. If I had the space for it, I would like to start practicing makeup in general. A good skill to have for a trans girl.
