Trying out some new pronouns, just here on hexbear. I've been saying some pretty egg-y things, and I've noticed those egg-y things coming out of my mouth and been a tad anxious about it. Not sure if I'll ever take the plunge for hormones, I kinda like the bio-casing just as is (although I'm still bitter about the circumcision, ironically enough). Maybe I kinda like the idea that a girl is looking out the eyes of a masc (haha, pun unintended, but I think it's funny).

lately i'm thinking about some talking heads lyrics. not a band i think of around my gender a lot, mostly i think about autism, but they've got some stuff

crosseyed and painless

Lost my shape
Trying to act casual
Can't stop
I might end up in the hospital
Changing my shape
I feel like an accident
They're back
To explain their experience

seen and not seen

YOUNG WOMAN - Actually, detective, I'm a woman.

[Easy: Success] - She says it so insistently, as if arguing with you. You may have upset her.

[Formidable: Failure] - You feel a pit in your stomach. You did something wrong, but you don't know what.

[Trivial: Success] - Her way of dressing, the feminine name, yet deep voice - it should have been clear to you sooner. She's transgender.

[Formidable: Success] - Almost imperceptible, the lieutenant anxiously twitches his eyebrow.

DAMAGED MORALE - 1

1. Transgender? What's that?
2. This doesn't have any bearing on the investigation.

[Trivial: Success] - A transgender person is someone who does not identify with the gender they were assigned at birth. Oftentimes they will dress conforming to their desired gender roles, change their names, and seek medical intervention to, "transition."

1. Gender is rather bourgeois, anyway.
2. Why would any proud Revacholian discard their masculinity?
3. Changing your gender? That sounds like quite the hustle. Maybe we can learn a thing or two from this woman.
4. That's cool. I have no opinion on this one way or another.

[Medium: Success] - Just as Mazov dared to challenge the established order of capitalism, so too do others challenge the order of things such as sex and gender.

[Trivial: Success] - IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE WE'VE FELT THE TOUCH OF A WOMAN. WHO CARES IF SHE USED TO BE A MAN? HAVE SEX WITH HER NOW! ITS WHAT A REAL MAN WOULD DO!

- [Trivial: Success] - Don't do that. It's clear now, you upset her for accidentally calling her a man. Just apologize.

[Medium: Failure] - Profusely.

[Medium: Success] - It's important to be a good ally.

[Medium: Success] - Make a real show of it, sire!

1. "Oh, I didn't realize. I'm sorry."
2. "I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I'll leave you alone forever now."
3. "I haven't been a good representative of the RCM. We're here to help the people of Martinaise, no matter their identity. I'm sorry to have let you down."
4. [Drama - Legendary 14] Try and come up with an elaborate, heartfelt apology in the style of the turn of the century thespians.

CHECK FAILURE

YOU - You try and come up with the words to convey your apology to the young woman, but you come up blank. It's hard to fit, "transgender" into iambic pentameter, as it turns out.

- I'm sorry, sire. I have failed you.

- "Detective? You've been standing there for a whole minute. Are you okay?"

- Shit, the lieutenant is onto us. We have to say something soon, or we could lose him.

[Trivial: Success] - Don't worry, we can still salvage this. Anyone have any ideas?

[Heroic: Failure] - Let me handle this.

- "I'm so sorry, I'm so fucking sorry. I'm such a fucking failure. Do you want me to kill myself?"

This is dumb but a post with all of the evidence for Ferris being trans would be useful. All the old posts from when this originally was "controversial" have disappeared and I can't find shit with google anymore.

Seeing a significant uptick in people doing the "he's a femboy" argument again. It's really fucking annoying but this will happen every few years without a reliable single source compendium of evidence.

Hoping someone here has old stuff saved as all I could find was the tv tropes thread which is farrrrrr from complete.

want to share something that you don't think deserves it's own thread? wanna chill with your trans homies? wanna support your trans comrades? do it here!

As part of my gender exploration I've gotten into doing my own nails and I've gotten pretty good at it if I do say so myself, but I've never tried extensions/acrylics. I picked up a kit with assorted sizes but after opening it I've realized my large hands also have large nails, and the largest of the acrylics is only enough for my index finger. I'm kinda posting this to rant out of frustration even though this is a textbook first world problem. But if anyone has suggestions for extended sizes I'd appreciate it. For now I guess I'm relying on however long my natural nails get before they break.

now i KNOW i suck but also i know what dysphoria is

So I am hypothetically, allegedly, possibly, asking for a friend about info regarding to DIY hrt. What are common pitfalls to avoid, people's favorite sources and ways to stay safe wile doing DIY. firstly, is coffee.hrt a good aggregator for pharmaceutical sites? Secondly, on average, how long can the results of estrogen be hidden before it become obvious? Thirdly, where can I find good dosage charts. Lastly, if I can't access or afford blood testing, how do I keep dosage safe and effective?
