i totally agree, being trans is rad. i’ve definitely had my share of dysphoric ‘wishing i was born a cis woman’ (and i’m sure there may be more) but i’ve gradually moved to wholeheartedly appreciate who i am. the power of being unburdened by what cis people expect of us is something that i don’t know i would want to give up, even with all the privilege it would give. i kinda think the same thing about being autistic, it’s so intrinsic to my self that it’s difficult to imagine myself differently

no need to apologise, i love the discussion! i’m so happy that you’ve been able to find more peace after starting hormones. that’s one area where i know that i’m more fortunate than most, i started about a month after the egg crack. i was so so so scared of it taking any longer so while i wish i had transitioned (even socially) when i was younger, i only had to deal with those feelings for quite a short time

thank you and congrats back at you!! from what i’ve seen, it seems like there’s a group of us around the same mark which is very cool

6 Month Tranniversary!

i’m iffy on doing 6 month celebrations but so much has changed in the period since my egg cracked. i’m definitely starting to settle into myself, i would say this is the most confident i’ve been in my life. i have so much to look forward to and am so grateful for what’s already happened

i looked in the mirror the other day and while there’s still a laundry list of things i want to change, my lesbian ass was like “god damn i’m gonna be so fucking hot”

also i’ll be celebrating today by adding a new pronoun. i’ve been jealous of everyone else’s and thought i might try it out cause why not?

to Hexbear and more specifically all of you in this megathread, i can’t thank you enough for what you mean to me. oh and apologies for the preening (not really)

why tf not? it’s your own name after all. over here in the govt caps it at 3 changes per lifetime, which i think is dumb as hell. it’s such a powerful form of self-expression. hope all goes well!!

you should!! she sounds like a very cool person

good morning!! (it’s 1am here does that count?)

i’ve been here for 6 months and never once felt safe enough to post or comment on any other online community (bar irl friends i talk to on discord). a month in and my egg was cracked, since then i’ve felt so much acceptance and comradery.

has been so fucking good for me when r*ddit and tiktok had such a net-negative effect on my mental. i love seeing all the silly posts from people around the world reminding me that i’m not alone in my struggle. to me, this place is unrivaled

omg thank you so much, that actually helps explain so much. i got through most of the journal but i guess some stuff is assumed knowledge so it didn’t really go into supports, just their changes. that’s a really cool way to handle interactions though, i’m looking forward to figuring it out more!

even though i’m not familiar, the gameplay feels way smoother than what i expected. i did make sure to play on easy but still had to reload twice in that first fight due to people dying, i’m sure i’ll get the hang of it eventually.

i did skip over the countries a bit, but i think i’ll have to spend a bit more time reading about them so i know what the dialogue is actually talking about. i’ll try to keep you updated on how i go!

ewww i’m so sorry, obligatory death to cis

i don’t know why it’s so hard for them to understand

@[email protected] after seeing your glowing review, i followed your instructions to install The Morrow’s Golden Country! i’ve played the prologue and i think i’m a bit out of my depth (i’ve never played Fire Emblem in my life, permadeath is scary). but the character designs are too cute for me to stop playing so i think i’ll power through. just one question -

wtf is a support

nice! i kept wearing my big boxy frames for a few months (and t girls can still look sexy asf with boxy frames) but god getting ones that looked more femme and i actually found cute was one of the biggest aesthetics improvements i’ve made imo. hope you find a nice pair!

and big congrats on the anniversary!!

instead of working i have successfully absorbed 3 days of missed megathread posting into my cranium

been going to a lot more concerts/shows since transitioning, turns out dressing up and going out can actually be fun lol

partner found a really cool artist. i’ve been listening to them and it turns out they’re anti-cop, anti-monarchy, sang at a pro-palestine protest AND has a show in my city this Friday??

we bought some tickets and i really want to try to make some friends this time but idfk how

good post and up with gender accelerationist manifesto
i should do a second read soon, it truly revolutionised how i think about gender and other class systems
