It seems that all the working on my appearance has paid off because someone called me hot today! That's the first time I've ever had that happen.

Problem is I have literally no idea how to flirt so I kinda just smiled and walked away. What the fuck are you supposed to do when that happens

Some guy hit on me in the grocery store today and it was so off-putting that I'm reconsidering my sexuality

Me: I could be bi

Man: Hello

Me: Save me Sappho

gender cw : dysphoria, discussion of essentialism

I should have gotten on the dating apps way sooner, I'm having such a fun time flirting with trans and queer cuties all day. Currently talking to a trans woman who's nearly twice my age because my higher power was smiling on me while I was swiping that day.

Lots of libs though. So many libs.

I'm reading Trans/Rad/Fem by Talia Bhatt and it's so good, but also how do you go about your day normally after realising by being a trans woman you're a revolutionary in a war against the heterosexual occupation of gender that has lasted over five thousand years?

Starting my classical music girlie arch

GOOD NEWS: i bought some pretty dresses :)

BAD NEWS: i can't post pics of myself in them here :(

random trans core memory that just popped back into my head out of nowhere

i remember laying in bed very late one night in my late teens having just admit to myself that i actually did like the idea of wearing women's clothing and i was freaked the fuck out because i had zero idea what on earth to do with this information other than to sleep on it because there was nothing i could do about it at 11 pm so I decided to sleep on it. I then woke up and promptly forgot about it for years and continued to be cis for some reason

up with trans

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.

We were a little naughty and added vegan popcorn chicken to Friday Rice

impressing him on the first date by taking him to a coffee shop while i'm wearing all white and swinging around my drink recklessly without spilling a drop somehow

Finding jobs suuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks

me -> <- a sports bra

"is this a top?"

down with cis

This probably isn't new to anyone who's dated men (and hope I'm not generalizing this to just one gender etc) but damn I'm starting to see the litmus test for a lot of these guys is seeing how they react when under pressure or frustration. Seeing some of these guys who I'll admit are pretty cute in their way melt down when shit goes bad or get extremely bitter is like The course's theme I've picked out is failure all over the place but you get up and try again. Frustration is alright and shit's not gonna be perfect but it's fine. Today I learned something new that I didn't know beforehand and I'll keep learning something new going forward and testing myself.

Transmasc rite of passage: reusing an old glass pickle jar for a gigantic cup of drink.

Good morning and death to the illegitimate settler state of israel

Still a bit sad from yesterday, but I do feel a lot better.

Went to the town center and got lost in the crowd for a while, looking at all the people and I don't think I stand out as ugly or weird like I felt yesterday. Also, watched a bunch of tiktoks of this trend where women remove their filters and make-up and stuff and it made me feel ten times better even though it's just a silly social media trend. Good to be reminded of how people actually look instead of comparing myself to perfect instagram models.

If you're seeing this shork, you have to drink a glass of water

There are lots of guides for diy hrt or markets for transfemmes (I am guessing because estradiol and other medications for for transfems are not controlled substances)

I've been worried lately about losing access to HRT given recent shit in the USA. Are there equivalent guides for testosterone/transmasc out there?

painted my nails during class, I think they came out good despite having to put so many coats on

Day 1 of voice training again to get past my block: I am way better at this than I remembered.

Trying some of the more modern methods from that site linked last time and I can already hit a voice that I like, just getting it consistent is gonna be the issue like usual. I forgot how fun this gets though. I was mostly just doing a preliminary test of everything that was on the site for an hour with plenty of breaks to listen to the clips and let my voice rest. Overall pretty happy with it for a basically 0 effort practice. Now just to keep at it for at least 30 minutes every day.

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...

Feeling anxious about one thing? Just get anxious about something else, ideally something that's a way bigger deal. Don't see me worrying about the first thing anymore do you

Follow for more anxiety management advice

when you arent okay and your friends can tell you arent okay and they ask if youre okay but you cant talk to them about it because you dont want to bother them but then they get worried about you and then you feel bad for worrying them and then feel like youre bothering them so cant talk to them about it which then worries them more and.....

not that we would know anything about that or anything :3

Finally out of that mixed shampoo conditioner that I was using for the past year, time to start my haircare era. Did a decent amount of research on what's good for silky straight hair and I'm hopeful that it'll help me have more consistently nice hair instead of always jumping between overly oily from too much conditioner and overly dirty from not enough shampoo

In our training we're gonna be having a sub come in on friday, classmates were like "Wmill you should be the sub" took me a bit to realize what they were talking about ngl I was just thinking how'd they know

if americans are burgers are american trans people impossible burgers?

Been trying to grow out my facial hair since I found pomemade on sale, I look like I came out of a cave and can't settle on any style, I just know sideburns won't ever be a cool thing, and obviously due to work and such I can't keep the mountain man look for that much longer before I get a talking to.

To the trans lesbians here, what's your dating strategy?

Fuck yeah, favorite movie that I never want to watch bc it gave me an emotional breakdown the first time around

aww yis first

This training full of dudes is very much old to me at times, while class is discussing love life and here I am a virgin. Ngl sexism and shit, it ain't good folxs. Some dudes my peers have teenagers like wtf
