Hey thanks! My reply to you somehow was posted twice, so if you see another in your inbox that’s why. I deleted this one just before you replied but the other is still up.

As a trans woman, I don’t see HRT being pushed as the only way to be trans. I think the vast majority of us recognize that there are many different paths people take. I have a friend who can’t take HRT because of blood clotting issues they have, and they are still 100% valid. Even if someone’s health doesn’t prevent them from taking HRT and they just don’t want it, they are still valid as well. The people saying that HRT is necessary to be trans are known as transmedicalists and they are cringe.

Edit: This got double posted somehow, so I deleted the first one.

I used to use a chain one and then I switched to a local one and I pay half as much as I used to.

Please use local drug stores. The chain stores are absolutely ripping you the fuck off.

We won’t be moving to world with you. We like blahaj and we like 196 being on blahaj. If you don’t want to be here, you should instead just hand over your mod positions to people who do.

Honestly that’s a really nice post. I have an interview tomorrow for a job I’d really like to get and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous, but this post has made me feel a bit better.

Edit: Just did the interview, I think it went pretty good. I feel a lot more at ease 😀

I use obsidian for just text stuff I need to remember later. If I need to do math or need a diagram temporarily I prefer pencil and paper. If I want to save diagrams for later I have a drawing tablet that I use like a whiteboard so that I can save and use layers. If you don’t have a drawing tablet Autodesk sketchbook is a decent substitute that can be used on your phone.

I’m using connect and it shows me both on the main page. It was actually the second image though that caused me to click through lol.

it feels like you are being lumped in with the worst of menkind for no good reason.

Before I realized I was trans I also got super upset at being lumped in with bad men (although with an additional different reason that I didn’t understand at the time), and that feeling is absolutely terrible, because you’re basically getting shit on just for existing.

From my perspective as a woman it seems like there are a lot of shitty dudes out there. After I realizing I’m trans it became a lot easier to notice misogyny since it now affects me. I did notice before, but when something affects you specifically you notice it a lot more. I also didn’t fully understand how weak women are compared to men until I started taking estrogen. Just being near a man I don’t know well or at all is very scary because of how easily he could overpower me.

If I am getting a random bear vs a random man I would definitely take the bear just because I feel like the risk of getting a bad man is too high. If I could pick a specific man, I definitely would pick my father or a friend because I know they are good men and I feel safe around them.

I think some outrage could have been avoided if the question was worded just a bit better, although I think part of why it got so popular is because of the outrage it caused.

Me when I vote and immediately slap the sticker on my face.

Absolutely! They taste much better warm than cold.

Yeah, I used to puppeteer a guy around so more people would like me as well, but I eventually accepted that some people are not going to like me no matter what. It’s really important to be kind to yourself. Be who you want to be, not who others expect you to be ♥️

I used to have the same issue as well with being envious of how cute other people are and being socially anxious. I’m only 2 years old than you, and I’ve mostly gotten over it and I’m sure you will as well with time.

I think what helps a lot here is working on your self confidence and self love. Chances are, you’re also really cute and awesome just like those people you mentioned above.

I prefer this announcement instead. I like Nintendo games but hate the company for taking down emulators and sueing indie devs for a really dumb reason.

Please persist. I know it’s hard but those fuckers want us dead. Don’t give them what they want. Our existence is resistance.

I went to a rural highschool and in 2016 Shrek won our mock election. I don’t remember who got second or third though.

It’s a nickname for estrogen pills

Thanks for the reply! It’s definitely interesting to see how varied everyone’s timelines are. I am learning that I developed quite quickly so I am considering looking more into getting a Klinefelter’s test too. I hope you get the results you’re hoping for on your test!

I wanted to get tested to see my starting levels, but my endo said it wasn’t necessary so I didn’t get one.

I really appreciate the information about androgen insensitivity syndrome, this my first time hearing of it, and I think it’s quite possible that I could have it.
