Transfem enby here - the way it works for me (can’t speak for anyone else) is essentially as two valid options. Some of my friends alternate, some stick with one, but if you’re going to pick just one then those are the correct options. Can’t guarantee it’ll be the same for others with multiple valid pronouns but most will be happy to explain if you ask. Personally I list them from most to least preferred but they’re both right so as long as it’s one of those I don’t care that much

If someone proposed to me with a high-end GPU I think that would seal the deal honestly

Same… I’m trying to get things sorted as soon as I can, and hopefully starting monotherapy soon, but even then I’m still gonna have to keep an eye on supply chains and government policies potentially forever from the look of things. I’m scared, for myself and everyone else both here and in the rest of the world. None of us asked for this but it’s all framed like it’s our fault somehow

God I wish that were me. Either of them, I don’t care

As someone who has abused it and kinda had a problem with it - that shit is poison. Literally. It has the same mechanism as deadly nightshade and a lot of poisonous plants, and it can be absolutely hellish. Totally legal in most places for some reason though. Feels like shit but paradoxically is also super addictive

I’ve had exactly one dream, at around 6 years old, where I was a girl. I barely questioned it aside from finding it kinda cool. The last 20 years they’ve all had me as a guy, but recently they’ve started overtly including dysphoric content and feelings

Oh I have childhood trauma too, I just try not to talk that deep on it too often cause my parents are trying to make up for it where they can, they just get irritated at me for things they could have avoided in the first place. Plus it’s a mixture of them and other kids screwing up my childhood. I’m just glad they’re taking my transition so well honestly; they mess up all the time but they’re clearly putting more effort into this than they ever did when I was younger

Thanks 😊 I made it with Picrew; it has tons of different pfp creators in different styles. It’s a pretty close recreation of what I look like irl but I’m way more comfortable with this than showing my actual face most of the time

Your blåhaj loves you! He doesn’t just endure you, he wants the best for you and he wants to give the bestest cuddles he can

Fucking tell me about it. Now I’m left trying to catch up to everyone else at 26 instead of having learned life skills at a more normal age like everyone else. And yet I’m the asshole for being miserable and pissed off at my parents for not teaching me anything useful and trying to do everything for me like I’m a child, while at the same time getting annoyed at me for not being able to do the things they never bothered teaching me. Make it make sense.

I got a clinic referral yesterday! Waiting on a confirmation letter/email but the gp visit went so much better than I expected. I was automatically offered the clinic with the shortest waiting times and the doctor made sure to make a note of my preferred name and pronouns on my file. I was in and out in 10 minutes and had to contain a big dumb smile as I was leaving

How it started -> How it’s going

Had my first transphobia the other day, that was fun /s. Came out to a (now former) friend and he went on about how he was glad trump won and that it should be even harder to transition and teachers shouldn’t be allowed to mention any lgbt topics whatsoever. He knows transitioning reduces suicide rates too so it was hard not to take that as him telling me to kms. Had a look on his face like he thought it was funny. In better news though my mum has offered to try getting prescribed estradiol “for menopause” so that’s gonna make medicating easier while I’m waiting to be seen by a doctor

Difficult, not gonna lie. Everything’s become much more real since coming out to my parents, and while everyone I’ve told has been amazingly supportive I kinda feel like I’m trapped being who I’ve always been. Each small step is like climbing another mountain. I’m scared I might never get to finally be me (thanks TERF Island). Got a blåhaj to snuggle though so things aren’t all bad I guess
