A new razor blade really does make a difference. Doesn't hurt to shave nearly as much.
(I still really need to start laser though, there's a section on my neck that just doesn't shave off π)

Hi everybody! My schedule has been really unforgiving, so I may or may not end up writing something and making changes to the post later in the week.
Regardless, I hope you all have a good week!

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.

i still have some visible hairs that i don't know how to colour correct but a few rounds of laser makes shaving so much easier
I had to get my birth certificate updated (so I could get the right gender on it). A month later the red tape reduction office sent me an email that they'd be sending me another email shortly with details, that one came and I have to pay a fuckin fee. They said I could pay online or go to a registry office, I figured fine I'll pay online. Except I had to send the red tape reduction service an email to access the online payment portal and they had THE GALL to auto reply that they were busy and to expect a proper reply in 2 to 3 business days
Whyyyy

They're still not working

Teleconferenced into my first meeting of a trans support group. It was mainly talking with a provider at a regional gender clinic for the process on getting care and approval for surgical treatment, so unfortunately didn't do any icebreakers or really "meet" anyone. I need to go in person at some point, but it's an hour drive.
There's an in-person group this weekend however, which is only a 15 minute drive so I am excited for that.
Does anyone have advice for buying needles for subq injections
some states let you buy them online some don't. Even in states that "don't" you can usually find some identical ones marketed as being veterinary insulin needles that everyone says are fine, but I haven't tried them personally. Lotta states let you buy them in person without a prescription, though the pharmacist might give you a hard time if its a chuddy area. As a fallback, reach out to harm reduction orgs in your area and see where they get theirs/if you can get some, because they will have some. A variety of sizes should work in a pinch so don't stress about getting the exact right gauge and length as long as its close, though you will probably have preferences.
I just bought them on Amazonβ¦unless you mean size and stuff
You can buy needles online, some pharmacies are cool with it if you can't do online. I requisition/liberate mine from where I work. You should get a sharps container. Do not reuse or share needles is the official advice
Subq should be around 25 gauge and 5/8" for length, I use longer because for some godforsaken reason all our needle are an inch long and I'm comfortable using it. I've had to give insulin to some pretty cachetic people with diabetes, its possible to stick that needle pretty much anywhere if you can spot it right. Unless you have some injection training or experience, stick with 5/8" and the typical spots.
im fucking screaming i have to get estrogen and a fuckin therapist soon its so fucking hard to do myself.
My university closed their transition closet :(
they had a what now
damn that sucks. At least there's still DIY. I should stock up on supplies
It was a place people could donate clothes to and trans people could go in and grab stuff from. It was great, but its dead now
ohhhh I get it now. Well shit, I'm sorry. I would honestly kill for a place like that. General thrift stores are... uncomfortable for me, and the more hip accepting places still just don't carry anything that fits me
trans clothes swaps are a beautiful thing tbh, defs recommend finding & swapping with other local trans folks!
Really nervous about the clothes I bought online.
We couldnβt find anything good at the store so idk how well they will fit me.
Iβve never bought a womanβs dress shirt before and I keep just seeing in my head a picture from when I wore a menβs dress shirt before I got on hrt that I hated how I looked in and Iβm scared it will look like that or worse. 
this is what I ended up buying
Oh, that shirt is cute. I really like your taste. 
Does that skirt have pockets or does it just look like that?
it has pockets apparently

Couldnβt find a skirt but I found this sickass Sonic mug
damn you got to be real skinny if you could wear that as a skirt
Maybe it's like a 52 gallon drum and the perspective in the pic is just real fucky
Huh. I'm realizing that if I were to die tomorrow, I'd actually have a problem with that. I think this may the the first time I've been able to honestly say that. Neat
it's fantastic isnt it?

(i also need more)
I have been trying to pick up writing, just for a little bit a day (in addition to the journaling I was already doing). Just sense memory exercises, really. It would be fun to make music and I do fuck around in a DAW occasionally but I dont really know what i'm doing when it comes to actually like, making tracks? Idk. If I want to get any further I'll need to figure out a way to work my brain a little bit a day without getting burnt out.

wake up
suffering
it doesn't stop
Please let it stop. I'd give anything. Nothing works. This is inescapable. Life is just horrible for me I guess. I don't deserve this.
Why did I have to be born like this. Why did this happen.
Literally no skirts at this mall 
Only getting two hours of sleep was probably not ideal, but I do love being able to earnestly call myself God's Sleepiest Princess.
