I'm super nervous about starting HRT but it has been on my mind for so many years
Having own life and living it however you want is more important than living life of another person just because society forces you to do so.

Yeah but also I'm close enough to being federally employed that I night get fired if I do.
I dream of our investors falling into shit covered spike pits daily.
the way i solved this was on my job hunt i applied under my new name and pronouns and mentioned in like the third sentence that its not my original but preferred way of being called, so they know right away.
it serves as a asshole filter, but makes job hunt even harder of course
I don't think my boss would be happy to find out I been taking HRT for over two years. Fortunately, cis people apparently pay almost no attention other than chasers.
Same hat. Me and my partner are kind of baffled by it at this point.
Part of it is Trans blindness, but also people are just terrible at noticing shit that changes slowly. I lost a third of my body weight over a couple years and literally no one at my in office job noticed.
Anyone who calls the Trans community "sissies" has no idea what strength it takes
I moved from the middle of one of the gayest cities in the world to somewhere beautiful, but definitely different
I dress a little differently, I still dress with flair when it suits, but definitely less "extra"
I salute our Trans friends, and I admire them because in many places they are choosing "unsafety" over the easy road.
The next generation will hopefully have it easier, and I hope they know how much was given for them
I still really don’t like what I see in the mirror every day. But now I no longer think myself a deviant, which is nice. The only thing different I would do is to start transitioning much earlier in life.
Yeah :/ the best time to start was before puberty, but fortunately the second best time is as soon as you could!
Indeed. Its never too late.
Despite me being male and not taking a single gram of hormones, does not prevent me from being genderfluidic femboy/transgirl cutie.
Love that for you!
For sure!
HRT not only changed my body, I also transitioned from being sad and depressed to being happy and loving my life. I thank my younger self every day for not giving up
trans people are the strongest people on earth.
Guess I'm still growing because I feel pretty weak 😞
and yet i feel your trans strength so powerfully that it leaks through my screen 🥺♥️
What about frost giants
All trans. They reproduce asexually through crystalline nest budding, their genders are purely cultural.
Thinking about Loki this tracks
the jotun dare not challenge the dolls
hehe yes yes...
the pictures, the self-comfort, the mindset, it's all worth everything I have :3
OP: just do it. sounds like its the right thing for you. nothing can substitute feeling okay in your own body.
but also I dont know your situation. hope it works out
That sounds like a plot to a shounen manga series...
Um excuse me that's a really damaging stereotype not all trans people
Damn must be nice to not have to worry about getting fired for transitioning.
Yes that is the part I meant
Wow, holy shit am I a fucking moron.
That took an embarrassing amount of time even after your second comment to get.
Sorry.
Its fine this is the account I made after getting banned from another server for apparently agreeing with the mod who banned me not once but twice this is where I surrender legibility accept screaming into the void communication is dead getting it eventually is better than expected
