Y'know, when I signed up for this back in June I had grand plans for some grand writeup on the domestically produced unmagnified gunsights of Cuba. I had collected images and info and sources but I lost sight of it as life stuff happened and my time for the trans mega snuck up on me.

Que sera sera.

Anyways, today felt like the first whisper (you have no idea how hard I just thought about the ideal word for this metaphor) of autumn and that put me in the mood for one of my favorite autumnal albums. More Constant Than the Gods by SubRosa is a really lovely doom? sludge? metal album. I like how big it sounds. The lead vocalist is a really talented lady, and its got violins, also the lyrics talk about dying and stuff and I'm into that. Its very fall-y to me, as is Standard Time Volume 1 by Wynton Marsalis, but for extremely different reasons.

The funny thing is that, like the poster of the previous mega it is also my 5th transiversary, I started HRT half a decade ago today (ok technically it was the 17th but I'm gonna count it since thats when I started writing this). Now, I don't think that taking HRT was what made me "officially trans", rather it was the degree of self acceptance required to get to that point. It's a long story, and one I prefer to share privately, but it took a very, very long time before my fear and desperation gave me the strength to allow myself to have this. I think it all turned out pretty well, I experience existence in much higher fidelity, I'm this whole person, along with everything that entails.

I feel very blessed to be transgender.

I hope you all stay safe and have a good, or atleast tolerable week.

I'm inventing a new type of guy (girl):

genitals mentioned (funny)Girl who has issues about having sex with her penis, not because of bottom dysphoria, but because of completely unrelated Freudian insecurities. The guy(girl) is me.

Being really really really ridiculously good looking is a burden sometimes ๐Ÿ˜” asked a receptionist if I needed to sign anything and I assumed she was stunned and she didn't say anything only as I leave I'm asked for my signature for a form. I didn't want to take advantage of this tremendous power so I left gracefully, really every potential relationship I'll have will be lopsided so ethically it's best I stay volcel-vanguard strongest solider

sex and sadnessI try not to post about this for a bunch of reasons but its hitting me harder tonight. I feel really nervous and upset about the whole thing. I definitely have some bottom dysphoria, and just overall have no idea what I want to do, even fantasize about... I don't know. I worry about having a partner... would they be satisfied by me. What would I be able to give them, be enough, could I even do "sex". Even just nakedness seems really, really intimidating. I know, I could stay clothed and just do stuff to them, idk that doesn't really seem ideal to me..

Like even by myself I get really upset and dysphoric, zone out, etc... some times better/worse then others but idk. I am both really upset about it for me internally and hopefully having a partner- and there's probably even more wrapped up in that (like them rejecting/being frustrated with me for it) but ohnoes this is already a lot of personalness to post

The good: Girl at work said I reminded her of Ariel

the bad (dysphoria + envy + dwelling)Got kinda in my head earlier and upset about the fact I'll never get to look like how other women my age look. The experiences either- idk its probably viewed as "immature" or whatever but idk. I sleptwalked through the last 6~ years and I feel like I missed out. And even looking forward, obviously it will take a will for hrt to do its thing. So its not even really like I get the next few.
spoiler slightly worse Low key don't feel like I'm ever going to get to be attractive and that is very sad to me.

That already got kinda ugly at the end so I'm not going to worm post, second good thing is my check is going to be fuckin fat. Wish I could do this every week

Finally got back on medicaid, took damn 8 months., just in time too, my body is falling apart. Victory is short lived though, next holiday season will come through and it'll be this bs yet again and then in May or June the store I'm at will close so that will bring its own problems. For now, finally no damn migraines ffs.

[โ€“] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago

All tired and cuddly tonight.. One day. I have a few more posts cooking but I'll probably make them tomorrow at this point, eepy.

misogynythought my friendship with one of my cishet guy friends that was going roughly was on the mend, actually had gotten to the point where I had started to trust him again

then he decided to spend all of today constantly failing the Be Normal About Women challenge. I feel so fucking gross from being in the same space as him. guess that's what I get for assuming a cishet dude could be anything other than a slimeball.

[โ€“] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago

Kinda depressing seeing people way more qualified then me working my job instead of anything higher. The other day someone shadowed me and first thing I asked was if he ever did my job. Turns out he was a director at a much larger facility (at least 3, maybe 4x our size) and another one for several years. Tons of certs. In college. Still didn't get director at our facility (applied for it) and is now doing my job. Like fuck how am I going to move up when this guy is getting bumped down.

Updates on my little economy:

I just realised that it is literally impossible for this capitalist economy to function without a banking system (and ideally a central banking system).

All the transactions between the different producers do not change the amount of money in the economy (cause they can't print it). But that means that a large portion of producers would be forced to loose money and go into debt at every production cycle.

You need someone who can print money so that most producers can gain money at the end of the production cycle.

Kinda fucking obvious in hindsight lmao.

I don't wanna brag about [EXPUNGED] so I'm not going to brag about [EXPUNGED]

In unrelated news, I'm no longer with my parents! Kinda cruel to be happy about it since my mom was crying but like I was nearing my limit. Literally. My emergency hormone supllies were running out.

I forgot what I was originally going to post today. A different topic it is then.

Anyone get kinda annoyed at how difficult it is to switch everything to FOSS alternatives and use them? I've been at this shit on and off for more than a year now, sustained off my hatred for the USA. I'm still nowhere near done (I gotta focus on my degree too lmao). Ok, I'm also a major procrastinator, but then again, normal people also are. I feel like we need some company to come out and sell pre-built phones with all the good shit already in them and configured.

And now my VLC player has also decided to say "fuck you" and stop playing videos for some fucking reason.

we used to be like "but like why would you not vote for anybody instead of voting dem" and then we actually decided to read up and educate ourselves and realized "waow the "lesser of two evils" is still fucking evil shit would not be any better"

dunno what the purpose of this post is, just felt like putting that out there

You don't need to read anything behind this spoiler tag and it will probably ruin your day/night if you aren't desensitised to wierd af things.

cw: sex and brutalityI figured out the way to finally feel satisfied during mastrubation. All I have to do is go back to reading those fucked up comics where women (or men) get utterly brutalised and humiliated and killed and then imagine myself as one of them.

Glad to know that my mind still cannot think of my body as sexually desirable except as a cheap and convenient and disposable object. I can't imagine someone even paying to r*pe me.

What a healthy mentality. It is one thing to be masochistic (which I am), it is another to have such utterly negligible levels of self-esteem.

There's no fixing this with rationality. My mind is just like that. I don't even want to call it "broken" because that word means nothing to me anymore. What does a "fixed" mind look like? I don't know. I'd hate to say that the bigotry and anti-communism that passes for "normalcy" isn't it's own kind of "broken" existence.

Better for me to just stop fighting it and chill out. Whatever. I'm a psychotic pervert. Better to just say "when I was born I was exposed to levels of blah-blah-blah compound 56% above normal so I'm stuck with this brain wiring" and be done with it. Oops my circuits are deep fried in garlic chili oil, so can you really blame me for being like this catgirl-sorry .

Rant over.

Hi everyone. I'm feeling a little better than yesterday.

cw:dysphoria

Anyway, does anyone else feel like boymodding doesn't give them much dysphoria? I mean I'm currently dressed like I'm an elder British/Australian "man" living in the outback. I'm wearing short loose shorts, flip flops and a safari vest for carrying things (yes, I'm known around my uni campus as "the one who wear flip flops" and people in the past when I was dressed even worse have tried to donate clothes to me thinking I was homeless).

Setting aside my sad af way of presenting myself in public and my occasional jealousy when I see cute women's clothes, I feel very comfortable in my clothes, and being comfortable in my own skin is kinda really the only thing I care about when it comes to transitioning.

In fact, my biggest source of dysphoria right now is my weight, which I believe is probably genetic because my entire family family tree including my grandparents (except my dad for some reason) is like this. Everytime I see a skinny person on the street (which is very often) I fantasise about getting liposuction or magic. "Best" part is that this dysphoria combines with my gender dysphoria in the worst ways.

The same way white people within earshot of me go "it's just so easy to treat people like people and not be racist" I hear from straight dudes say the same but interchange racist with homophobic. Don't get me wrong I think it's great people aren't mean to me but it's a bit kiryu-stare
