Well, I finally came out to my spouse after a decade feeling trapped. The support I received was more than I could have ever hoped for from them! And this community seems pretty fantastic. So for once in what feels like forever, this one was a good week. There's always hope and someone who will love you for who you are. You just have to find them! ;{
Congrats!! It's always heartening to hear stories of supportive family 🩷
Hell yeah, I'm so happy for you!
Thank you!
So after seeing it recommended I've been reading "The Mimosa Confessions" and I agree, it's very sensitively written. Although it suffers a bit from the "and then they passed, flawlessly, and with perfect fashion sense" trope which gave me some serious gender envy.
Over the winter I've mostly been going with a "lesbian tomboy" aesthetic, and it's been making me a bit uncomfortable recently. Inspired by the story I put together all my girliest stuff into an outfit for the weekend and it was great! I don't feel like a man in a dress any more. Still have no idea what I'm doing fashion-wise, but I'm definitely going to push the boundaries a bit more for spring.
Probably about time to get the ball rolling on SRS too, given how long waiting lists and preparation can take.
Oh, and I've been trying out atomoxetine for ADHD. Doesn't seem to be doing much for me yet, but at least it's not tanking my blood pressure like guanfacine. Only a few registered physicians are allowed to prescribe methylphenidate here.
well we cored our only E vial so... about that good
