Do you have access to any thrift stores?

Heya! I'm so glad you felt good about that pronoun change. Thank you so much for sharing the beginning of your journey here. And it is your unique journey so it's going to be different from everyone else's. Don't you worry about a thing.

As for age, I didn't understand that I was transgender until I was already over 50 years old. But once I got there, so many things in my life made way more sense. The journey takes a great deal of patience and a lot of self care but it is so worth it.

Whenever I get that certain feeling of gender euphoria now, I know I'm doing exactly what I need to be doing in the moment. It sounds like changing your pronouns may have been that gender euphoric moment for you. Learning how to express oneself when one's idea of oneself is still coalescing is not easy. Take your time. Take it from me, there's no rush and you aren't too late! I wish you all the best! :)

Amazing song. Heart wrenching and hopeful. Stay strong everyone.

qobuz is good so far. the ui could use work and I'm still getting used to howto switch output sources but the sound is great and it's even got Phoebe Bridgers now so I'm all set. bye bye spotify

You are doing great for yourself and I loved the pictures you posted!

If you have thrift stores they can be a hugely valuable resource. You can build a whole wardrobe for very little money and it's also another opportunity to go out and be seen. Just be aware that polished nails and clothing racks do not mix well, if you want to keep the polish un-chipped. :3
Maybe a bralette could serve to flatten your chest a little while you are at work? Or a sports bra perhaps? Hopefully others have suggestions.

Keep it up girly!

Wow... Well at least folks will still be able to get the medication they need if they are already in the system. I hope there are other resources available in those areas, though. Planned Parenthood is such a treasure I'm sad to see it struggling there, and I'm so unhappy that my medicaid won't cover them anymore. I'm so lucky my GP was willing to help me or I would have been completely fucked a couple months ago.

I hope people can find the help they need...

You aren't a mistake. You are an amazing person who is realizing that perhaps some people may not be worth being around if they are going to constantly deny your own lived experience and try to use a book of fiction to beat you into their own idea of submission. A book that has been rewritten and translated to the extent that no one can ever follow it all the way properly and if they did they would seem incredibly ridiculous in today's society.

I think you should follow your heart, it sounds like you've already come to some good conclusions about this. Maybe your friend will come around some day but who knows. But for now, I would start thinking about cutting contact and letting them know why you are doing that. I would also recommend seeing a therapist if at all possible. It helps so much if you can find one you trust.

Keep staying true to your self and keep listening to your guts. Follow the positive vibes. Sadly not everyone in your life is going to accept the transition. But there will always be those who will accept you. You can do this!

Bobby, you may be gone but the Music Never Stopped. Give our regards to Jerry and Phil.

The Grateful Dead filled many dark hours, days and years for me. Hearing hopeful messages and grooving to amazing jams got me through. Seeing them live was always incredible. We will miss you Bob.
