  • Yay, so even after years on hrt when I’ll clearly be at a physical disadvantage I still won’t get legal protections (which were designed for exactly this) until I maybe eventually get a doctor to confirm what I already know? Great, lovely, thanks. Looks like I’m gonna have to start hoarding estrogen I guess cause I’m certain this is just the start. Really makes the swastika sticker I passed by on a walk yesterday that much more scary knowing there are people near me who would absolutely hurt me if they could, and now they’ve basically been given the go-ahead.





  • I’m mostly worried about my grandmother - it’s been at least 6 years and she still treats my cousin’s bf like a girl despite having it explained to her multiple times that he’s a man. She’s definitely a product of her generation, but it’s the refusal to listen and even try to learn that gets to me. Other than that everyone’s been cool with it, though my parents are still slipping up constantly. As for everything else it’s going surprisingly well so far; I’ve already started noticing some stuff that should usually take a couple months to kick in


  • No physical changes yet (aside from one dream I had as a kid) but they have started incorporating various transition-related scenarios already. Only been on E less than a month and not even a full week after my first shot I was already having dreams where I demonstrated the whole process to unknown observers. I’ve also had a couple where I’ve gotten into arguments and cut off less accepting family members, so that’s been a Fun™ preview before it inevitability happens irl

    Transfem enby here - the way it works for me (can’t speak for anyone else) is essentially as two valid options. Some of my friends alternate, some stick with one, but if you’re going to pick just one then those are the correct options. Can’t guarantee it’ll be the same for others with multiple valid pronouns but most will be happy to explain if you ask. Personally I list them from most to least preferred but they’re both right so as long as it’s one of those I don’t care that much










  • As someone who has abused it and kinda had a problem with it - that shit is poison. Literally. It has the same mechanism as deadly nightshade and a lot of poisonous plants, and it can be absolutely hellish. Totally legal in most places for some reason though. Feels like shit but paradoxically is also super addictive


  • Oh I have childhood trauma too, I just try not to talk that deep on it too often cause my parents are trying to make up for it where they can, they just get irritated at me for things they could have avoided in the first place. Plus it’s a mixture of them and other kids screwing up my childhood. I’m just glad they’re taking my transition so well honestly; they mess up all the time but they’re clearly putting more effort into this than they ever did when I was younger




  • Fucking tell me about it. Now I’m left trying to catch up to everyone else at 26 instead of having learned life skills at a more normal age like everyone else. And yet I’m the asshole for being miserable and pissed off at my parents for not teaching me anything useful and trying to do everything for me like I’m a child, while at the same time getting annoyed at me for not being able to do the things they never bothered teaching me. Make it make sense.
