I still haven't managed to get a job and it's wearing on me more every day. I'm living with my parents currently and they refuse to use my name/pronouns, they refuse to even try. I haven't been able to start hormones, my dysphoria is bad and I feel like no one takes it seriously. I'm spiralling into depression more each day despite my meds. I don't know how to keep going. My partner supports me but he's half a world away, and most of the time seems too busy with his own life to talk to me. There aren't even any support groups around because we live in Woop Woop.

Did anyone else cycle through them, or just me?

My mum frequently says negative stuff to me, but the one that sticks with me a lot is when she called me a "freak that no one will ever love" after I came out as trans.

My mum used to cook mince in the microwave. From raw.

I'm right there with you, mate. I graduated just in time for the whole industry to be about "AI". I don't want to work on AI. I hate AI. I also don't feel qualified for the jobs I'm applying for. Sure, I did the degree, but I don't feel like I learnt anything in it well enough to call myself qualified.

My mum's abusive. I learnt early on that just because someone is a religious leader that doesn't make them a good person. My dad was always the better of the two, I thought he was okay, but now he's older I've heard him express opinions I can't agree with, support for political ideals that are questionable at best. I'm not sure how I feel about it all.

I joined r/detrans because I was struggling with my identity (had been told being autistic meant I wasn't really trans), but honestly that place is so toxic. I find a lot of Reddit toxic lately though.

I did! But I've since lost it sadly.

It will stop them from telling you when they have nightmares though. Source: my childhood (didn't involve a chainsaw though, just a regular beating)

 

I hope it's okay for me to post here. I really want to wear a binder but I struggle with the ones you pull over your head. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for ones that you can wrap around sort of? I know there are some with zips or clasps or other methods, I'm just not sure what's good. I'm a bit overweight, so I'm worried that it might sit weird or roll up or be uncomfortable, and I worry that ones with underarm fastening would be a sensory nightmare, but also that front fastening would be visible. Does anyone have any experiences to share that might be helpful? Thanks in advance.

 

I spoke to my abusive mum recently. She'd said she felt like I didn't like her, so I thought I'd tell her how I felt, outline what she put me through. I'm not sure if it was the best idea. She apologised but she also kept repeating "I'm only human". I'm also human, but I can't imagine ever doing to someone what she did to me. I don't know. I don't feel like it's a valid reason. I'm not sure how to feel. If her only reasoning is that she's "only human" is it enough? I don't feel like it is but I know I won't get anything more from her, and I feel like she expects it to be all good between us now. Would that be enough for you? How do I move on or at least move forward?

 

My gender therapist told me this in response to something I said referencing my chest. It was a while ago but it's stuck with me. I'm wondering what you all think of this comment? The comment felt disqualifying, like I was less male for calling my chest a "breast", or I would be seen as less male because of it, but I can be pretty sensitive so I might be overthinking and she might be right that men don't talk like that.

 

I see a lot of communities hosted on hexbear.net on trending but when I click the link it says there's nothing there. Why is this the case? I'm using the Voyager app, but I' not sure if that has anything to do with it. Is there a way to make them visible?
