This last spring was my 13th year hormonersary. Such an unreal thing to write, even more unreal to be a part of such a vibrant community here. Love you all

My parents love my gf and they haven't even spoken to her (language barrier). They know she's trans and love her still my dad's gonna pray for her same with his church buddies but so she'd can pass her exam she's studying for. Having great parents and an amazing gf really is a blessing, things may not always work out in my career but at least I got love in abundance

I have concluded that I am in fact non-binary. I feel happy the way I am (e.g. long hair but wearing formal male clothing) and don't feel the need to transition into being a female. With that being said, I do not feel like a man and do not want to have to live up to toxic masculinity.

Anyways, happy pride month!

Since a bunch of other people were saying it, I'm 8 months hrt, a little over two years since I accepted I am trans.

I can't really complain about what hrt has done so far but I definitely need my tits to keep growing for a while longer... really glad at the body hair reduction though I got super lucky, shaved like 5 days ago and its still basically nothing. Wish E did more but for what it does I've been doing okay I think. Need more tits.

Well chat, forget what I said the other day about people not being able to see, my fav coworker (knows I'm on hrt tbf) pointed them out and said I'm "blossoming". Talked about me needing to wear a bra. "You've got tits!". Was swimming (also tbf, with a shirt on ofc). She also said I'm glowing so I guess my better mood is visible too :) That I am very visibly doing better. Had a really good talk with her tonight. And I'll see her again on Saturday!

Really weird that I'm trans

I don't have anything to post about my little transgender life though. Started my summer job today and it's very chill. There's also a guy here who might be gay? Has gay vibes.

But it definitely is weird that I'm trans

Congrats on 2 years, celebrating my first month.

Today I got my name and gender entry legally changed. Feels amazing.

Happy Pride to yall

Today is the 2nd anniversary of deciding to transition!! In 2 weeks will be my 2nd HRT anniversary. Thanks to all the DIY suppliers for making it quick and painless to get started.

I hit one year on hrt the 12th

Estrodiol is amazing

Already gone from an a to a b and feel so much happier with myself in general

I hear so many trans girls complain about their experiences with providers but I've had mostly good luck with that. My previous provider retired recently so I saw a new one for the first time today. I braced myself a little since it's always hard going in without knowing what to expect, but he turned out to be really good. Some highlights:

• Approved of me stopping spiro on my own when I switched to injections, said that I didn't need it and spiro is a terrible drug
• Said to just let him know if I break a vial or whatever and he'd order another, no questions
• Told me he likes to keep track of overall health because it's sometimes neglected with other trans providers
• Just seemed to give a shit about trans patients as a whole

I'm 15 months on the HRT.

I'd already been lastering my body and taking finasteride for a couple of years so my hair was long and phenomenal. I started with pretty wide hips weirdly and I'd lost a lot of weight rowing.

I've been eating so much. So I've got decent breast growth. My breasts would be big on a smaller girl. My butt is coming in nicely. I gained an inches in height from confidence.

Skins been great. I'm losing the puppy fat ageless look but I look way different to before. Clocky but different.

Mentally it really helped.

Sometimes I forget the writer of the Altered Carbon books is a huge transphobe. Because what a rich setting for trans story telling. The person who gets their egg cracked by renting an opposite body for a night, the schism in the trans community between trans people who use gene-modifying viruses to change their original bodies, versus those who find someone who wants to do a 1:1 swap with them, both thinking the other is less trans then the other, the ultra rich cloning themselves but with doubled x-chromosomes or donor Y chromosomes to be the gender flipped but genetically same version of themselves, etc

I put the demon in pride month

Yes I want a perfect body, yes I want a perfect soul. However I DO care if it hurts. I want it to be easy thank you

Still having trouble accepting aging. I'm in the late stage era of being considered young, so I'm really trying to use the time I have to make peace with the future ._.

Between transition shifting life milestones around and not being interested in things like starting a f*mily, I feel pretty out of sync with life.

Best I can do now is keep a good skincare routine and brace for the future. Aging will happen whether I'm ready or not. Maybe I'll look back in a decade and think how silly my worries were.

Happy pride and death to america and england

heaven help this girl flirting with me, she's opening pandora's box by giving me attention

i remember when you first transitioned!

It's pretty fucked up that they make trans people pay taxes.

congratulations on your tranniversary, tucker carlson. i hope you got a good stat boost.

Good night gay people and happy pride

Does anyone know a good, and hopefully not super expensive, soldering iron/station? I'm trying to make things and need to solder a lot of small things. I think I can get jlcpcb to put the maim IC on the board for not too much, but so many components require repositioning things so if I do them all it gets expensive fast. So I'll be soldering on everything from big thru holes to the tiniest SMDs (and possibly removing or re-soldering them too)

What I want: changeable tips, ability to specify temperature, and if there's a hot air gun included in it that would be nice but not needed.

I have no idea how to evaluate soldering irons/stations, and everyone just wants to sell you things or shovel llm slopsites into you, so I dont really trust the comparisons between the products I find. I dont need perfect, just good enough. I've been looking at yihua, their general stations. I can find them online for sub 100 USD (specifically the 8786, though there's an 862BD+ on sale for sub $100 right now) and they seem solid. But I have no idea what's what anymore with online shopping.

Its been a long time since I soldered anything, and even back then I was doing component to component and not working with boards, just tiny wires. It will be fun to start again tho, and i would love to be able to make electronics projects again.

Coming up on 7 months on hrt (and 10 months off alcohol), and it’s unbelievable how much better my life is now compared to a year ago. I can work towards a future i couldn’t imagine before. I can exist without feeling fraudulent. And the physical changes have been a blessing, I feel so much more confident, even though not that much has occurred

The following are the lineup of university assignments I have right now:

1. Teach a machine how to think
2. Investigate the secrets of glass by multiplying 2 light beams together
3. Pretend to interview a classmate for a trucking job.

2 years on HRT

I love that for you, congratulations

Since my parents live in a super liberal city I'm sure they're being bombarded with pride month stuff and I wonder what it makes them feel like. I especially wonder about my dad who might even have to say some words about pride at work.

Oh I'm sure both my parents can lie through their teeth, but I do get some smug satisfaction that for a whole month they're going to have to taste the rainbow and I didn't even have to lift a finger

Oh shit it is pride month. I was so confused ....

Happy Tranniversary!! My 2 year mark is in two weeks!!

Dating is too hard I can't do it

I'm getting pretty good at makeup! Hrt has been doing work on my body, my wardrobe is getting pretty good too.

I'm so hot

I guess we doin life updates now

Tomorrow is 500 days on HRT, about 6.5 months on injections and 2.5 months on prog. I should probably be happier about how things are going but I still find ways to fret. Mainly just wrapped up in feeling terminally undesirable and like the stench of maleness is never gonna go away. But probably like 20% a real problem 80% in my own head

Girlmoded for my uni assignment because I didn't have good quality "boy" clothes (as was requested for the assignment). It's sure to give the lecturerer a surprise.

Got tacos for taco Tuesday and I'm so fat and happy

So f'n bored.

Talking with a guy who might take one of my snakes. That'd leave me with one. It'd be good to not have to worry about her, I've struggled taking care of her. But I do love her. I don't know what to do. I also don't know how much to trust this guy.

Crying now. I wish I wasn't so terribly mentally ill. I wish I did normal stuff. That not everything was a struggle.

I that same vien finally de tangled my hair today. Took forever. Cried.

Hi my lovely trans comrades, I love all of you, haven't posted here for too long. I am doing well on the girl front I think, I get a lot of compliments for my thrift store outfits, and seem to be quite good at girl. Else, electro is a lot harder to organize when working even just a bit. Oh well, at least I am really good at shaving now(the tricks are oil, and cleaning the razorblade after each use and regular skin care.)

Happy pride month! Laws no longer apply to us this month

During Pride Month - Leroy

Weekend yap again because I’m vain. This shit feels like a turning point for me. On Saturday I got a bunch of fundamental clothing (shorts, shirts, skirts, dress () and on Sunday I went to a queer trans event in someone’s backyard in a fem fit for the first time publicly. Displacing my old wardrobe feels good, being somewhere where I’m taken at face value rather than interrogated and put under a microscope feels better. It’s kinda solidifying my thoughts of coming out at work, at least I’ll be able to make my coworkers embarassed when they call me sir by having prominent tits rather than rocking a hoodie or long sleeve when it’s 90 degrees out

I also got a tattoo and was bitten by the bug, now I want to fill up a lot more space on the canvas :)
