I'm tired and uncomfortable.
idk this feels weird to post, but positive
Very nice actually feeling something on my chest in the shower, very comfy, it feels right.
Ooooo, yay! 
Dreading being at work literally all day tomorrow, although with doing that I'll squeeze all my hours in 3 days
god I hope I can swing this full time position, going to have to interview and shit, but more money to save and it will look good on my resume. Feel kinda like a loser for being this excited about the possibility but I've fr felt so doomer about getting an actual full time job forever in a way I can't describe.
The next Yakuza game should just be about tofu imo, everything else is played out by this point. Real estate boring, money yawn, toxic waste snoozville but tofu that be pretty sick. I wanna see people die over soy die for soy and die because of soy and if any series could pull it off it'll be Yakuza
I always shot my shot by being very low key about it and my success rate has been zero. This relationship biz ain't for me just gonna stick to single life and finding cool things that make me happy
pick a common name
get embarrassed when someone else has it too
There was some discussion of weight cycling earlier and I would like to advise everyone that weight cycling is not good for you, and probably won't do you any favors as far as long term body shape goes. If you like to read more about it, here is a short article.
If you are considering using pioglitazone for reasons other than diabetes, you should know that there are health risks associated with it (it may increase your risk of heart problems and bladder cancer) so it requires more care and caution than diying hrt. We also don't know for sure that it has any long term effect on fat redistribution for trans people so there might not be a real benefit in taking it.
Please take good care of yourselves. 
Thank you for posting about the risks, I vaguely knew there were some (why I said to do more research) but couldn't remember off hand in the couple minutes I had to make those comments. I'm personally not that worried about the health risks so that's part of why I didn't remember (although I am going to look at them again more closely when/if the time comes)
questioning, self-doubt
So I'm cis I think. But I've have been having some pretty eggy thoughts lately, and occasionally engage in some minor crossdressing (I like skirts), in public even, a few times. Sometimes lipstick/lashes if I'm feeling extra.
I'm going to read Trans Liberation soon which will probably sort me out a bit more
I feel pretty confident I'm not a woman. But I could be non-binary. I guess I worry about taking on a label without "doing the work".
Like I'd probably even just stick to my current pronouns. I don't even mind being called a man, but what does that mean if I'm rocking a skirt, purse, lipstick, jewelry and looking fierce? Could I say I'm non-binary if someone asked? Do I have to change my name?
It feels like stolen valor if I don't actively make a point to stand out (and I don't always care to), but that's probably just brainworms?

5 years ago, I avoided using they/them as my pronouns cause I had similar concerns. Now I have a hard time understanding what you mean even though I used to think the same (tbf, I probably never knew what I meant either; it was more of a feeling than a rational thought).

I haven't changed my name, despite it being a masc name and I don't really mind that most people use masc pronouns. If you rather call yourself an NB than a man, do it. Whether its just something you keep to yourself or if you tell others doesn't make any difference in whether you are an NB or not. Plenty of trans people rather not stand out either (even some NBs, despite there not really being any realistic way to be perceived as a cis NB). Being trans doesn't obligate you to want to be a gender activist.
You can do whatever you want! Seriously, there's not rules here (lots of people think there are, but fuck those people!).
You can use whatever name you want, pronouns you want, id as whatever gender you want, dress how you want, whatever. You can be a cis man who just likes to wear skirts sometimes or you could be non-binary (or maybe gender fluid or something else). There's no correct answer in any absolute sense, there's just what makes you feel right. All these terms just help us make sense of our experience, communicate that to others, and find community. That's it. There's not some magic essence inside you that must be properly named or anything.
And you can change your mind! Like maybe right now you decide not to change your name, but later you want to. That's okay! And it's okay if you never change it. And it's okay if you change it, then end up not liking it and you change it again.

That was really helpful, thanks!
Yeah i don't know all the nonbinary terms. I just know mine, genderfluid. Just because I didn't fully do my homework on all the nonbinary terms doesn't mean i don't know which one I am.
Btw, I would love know know all the nonbinary terms by heart, but I can't seem to have the terms solidly stick in my memory. I'm overwhelmed while reading them all.
sounds pretty enby to me fam 
Forgot about my local lgbt group the last two weeks but remembered tonight! tbh have kept it only positive in the past but am thinking about sharing more of my problems. idk we'll see what I even have time for. I don't feel like anyone there especially gets me
given the sudden enbyphobia present in this space, i no longer feel safe being here and will be deleting my account. goodbye.
Since going on HRT a year ago I stopped taking finasteride. I've had way more hair regrowth since then. But now I'm a year on HRT and I know that the effects of HRT on hair regrowth stop around two years. My hairline is way better, and I almost don't have a receding hairline anymore, but it's still not quite there. Should I start to retake finasteride again in the coming months?
You might as well - it'll lower your dht a little more which is generally good for scalp hair, and you're already familliar with what (if any) side effects you'll experience.
Somehow, I completely stopped drinking caffeine. I heard someone say that it reduces lifespan and since then, I have not drunk a sip of anything with caffeine in it. I haven't even felt the urge to drink it anymore.
mention of suicide
Given my mental health history, the prospect of extending my lifespan being the thing that finally breaks my addiction is highly ironic. Like seriously, do I even want to die or what?
...
Please forgive my awful joke, I'm coping.
Maybe it's because you feel like you have more of a chance at further changing your life. And that you're excited you found a small way to treat yourself better.
Dropped my soy curls in the sink
Soy curling down the drain π
"you need water to live but if you drink pure water it will kill you" who decided that??? thats so silly
Finally got my old polish off, gonna go for purple π. Vegan polish I found at the dollar store (my present for my birthday that I got myself) honestly think I'm done with top/base coat. Whenever I put the protective stuff on it never protects and is a pain to take off, this time it took me a while to take off granted but I was half paying attention to that and just picking at them
Need to figure out how to steal monster energy drinker valor
as if by some dark magic, every single time my partner drinks I end up with a nightmare headache
how is she doing this 
second hand drinking 
the fumes are settling around me in the night
