As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It’s for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

starting hrt technically. not the fun gender kind tho it’s just supposed to give me periods which i just didnt get before. which was kinda gender affirming ngl but im kinda sick of randomly bleeding and rly dark body hair
Wish I knew how to stop my brain from shutting down. I get so overwhelmed by envy and attraction and then I literally can’t speak
Being around feminine people is a source of dysphoria. Like, I don’t know how to handle the emotions. I just want to ask how they do that, all the time. I feel male-gazey, I feel gross.

Real :/ reminds me of what I could have had. Should have had. Instead I’m cursed to live in this husk. Very shitty feelings. god I wish I was them instead.
One specific thing is it always reminds me of how big I am. I’m literally like twice most of their size.
Wendy? You’re back~
I’m back! I am back on my old account until I earn (come up with) a new username. I don’t remember why I deleted my account but I’m rolling with it

I actually did it. I actually completed my bachelor’s degree today.
And I still feel like completed shit. And I have to stay here, alone, for 2 more weeks because of the NATO meeting (I shit you not, the Taiwanese office has to delay my visa processing because of it).
yooooo
congratulations! sorry you feel it’s marred a bit by events but you should still be incredibly proud of yourself.Congratulations are in order nonetheless, you did well to get it
proud of u
Transmasc rite of passage: reusing an old glass pickle jar for a gigantic cup of drink.
Transfem rite of passage: eating all the pickles in the glass pickle jar
transfem and transmasc solidarity apparently
We’ll drink the pickle juice, you get the jars!
I’ve always been a rice girl, but currently I’m in my pasta era
Other way around for me lol
My girlfriend has been slowly pasta pilling me. I’ll never stop being a rice girl, but pasta is great. Do you have a favourite type?
I like the corkscrew pasta because it looks funny
Yess that one’s good. I tried a vegan fettuccine alfredo recipe recently that turned out well
I Saw The TV Glow absolutely rules and it’s been stuck in my head ever since I watched it on an airplane. I relate to it so much. The overbearing dad, being alone and unable to express or even describe your feelings about gender or identity. I really liked the moment where the main character looks back on his/her favorite childhood show only for it to seem goofy and cheesy, whereas before it seemed so raw and meaningful. Like we grow beyond stuff but it never truly leaves us, or maybe it’s just leading us to deeper realizations about ourselves
Masterful film, 10/10, it fucking rips. More trans movies please.
yay i win by default because i married one!

Fantastic. I managed to get 5 whole hours of sleep today instead of the usual 4.
People say that this is nice weather. Uh, no it isn’t!
My sunscreen is melting off my face! Walking round’s got me sweating like I just did a workout!
One of the cool side effects of switching to E is I sweat a ton less than I used to. Used to be the sweatiest person in my friend group and now I think I’m the least. Still, summer weather is the worst (where I live at least).
does estrogen make beans tastier? kinda feels like it
Who is willing to sacrifice a vial by submerging a bean in it to test?
Why not simply inject the bean with E?

My therapist has been encouraging me to go to some kind of mtf support group. I’ve become progressively more agreeable to that idea, if only because I might get some honest opinions on if it’s truly joever for me looks wise. In all the photos I’ve taken recently my face feels too broad. Maybe it’s just the camera…

As if any transfemme is gonna tell you, “yeah, no, it’s never gonna work for you” lol
Yeah prob not. But I am in desperate need of near phrenological levels of cranial analysis to determine what to do with this face of mine
what to do with this face of mine
Have you considered smiling more?
gender cw : dysphoria, discussion of essentialism
spoiler
I don’t have a gender , I used to identify as transmasc but don’t relate to masculinity so I think agender is right. Don’t like being perceived as or being a woman but wouldn’t like being a man either. I hate the ‘born this way’ narrative, we shouldn’t have to justify why we’re trans. I feel a lot of research about gender being “hardwired” just reinforces bio essentialism under the name of ‘acceptance’ , it’s always agab language and treating sex as an absolute truth. i didn’t fully realize everything until recently , like I said earlier trans people don’t need justification for why they exist.

Yeah, anytime people bring up the “actually, trans brainwaves are more in line with their preferred gender than their assigned one 🤓”
I’m like… Stfu? Who fucking cares what my brainwaves look like? That data cannot be used for good.
spoiler
I’ve been training my brainwaves so that, if they ever get scanned, this is what shows up.
