I was digging through my digital library and I realised I can't name a single novel with a nonbinary transfem protag. I can name several that have ✨ uncertain definition ✨ en bees, or nonbinary transmascs, but where my fem enbees at??? If you have any cool books I could plug this gaping hole with, pls hmu and I will penicl stuff in.

Started an antidepressant a couple weeks ago, and it's at a low enough dose it does not help me at all, but the side effects have been so nasty. Constant dissociation. I looked in the mirror the other night and had extreme facial dysphoria. It felt like I was looking at a demon :(
I think the side effects have actually made me even more stressed too. I'm frequently feeling the beginning stages of panic attacks. Not fun :/
On a more positive note, loving my new dresses, and I have a couple extremely supportive friends who make me feel very loved 💜 Things will get better :)
Oof I feel that on the "Beginning stages of a panic attack all the time". It sucks so hard. I've had some relief from it but it's back now and I've been dealing with it for almost 3 months
Don't be too disuaded, psych meds just really range like that between people. My anti-psychotic is my saving grace, but I've heard just as many nightmare stories from the meds I take. What anti-depressant are you on currently?
I'm glad you have some supportive friends!
Does someone know some text-based ressources for voice training? I know of the youtube channel, but I work better with written instructions. I just have an easier time understanding and internalizing the information when it's written.
Had a very weird encounter this morning with one of the tenants in a neighboring apartment building.
When I have to park on the other side of our block I cut through a neighboring apartment courtyard as a shortcut, this morning I did the same thing, but as I was crossing the alley to get to that courtyard there was a woman pulling out of their parking. She wasn't signaling so I couldn't tell if she was turning left or right so I just kept walking straight. She apparently took offense at this because she immediately got pissed and rolled down her window then started harassing me about how I shouldn't do that, whatever that is, as well as how I shouldn't cut through their courtyard. Fine great whatever I'll stop if it bothers them so much.
I mostly ignored her and just kept walking without stopping, but after I got to my car and before I could pull out she boxed me in and started either recording or taking pictures. I rolled down my window and gave her a little wave and a smile and she started harassing me further about how I'm very rude (I actually try to make the least amount of noise possible when I cut through, as their gates will slam shut if you let them) and how she could have hit me (she clearly saw me and again, didn't signal which way she was going to turn) and how I'm probably the person who has been stealing their packages (I was very confused about this and obviously immediately denied this) and how she's going to tell my apartment complex. Cool great whatever now I have to deal with this later as well as the increased anxiety I'm going to feel about having to park around the area.
But then just as she was starting to drive away she decided to lob a transphobic comment at me.
(mild) transphobia
Specifically she said "you're a man too, stop trying to be a woman"
Ouch.
On one hand how fucking dare she.
On the other hand, I'm full boy mode, like stubble growing in with sweats and a hoodie on. The only possible gender marker was my hair length and style? idk i kinda just tussled it gently after showering this morning and i'm in one of them liberal coastal states where long hair on guys isn't out of place.
How did she know chat?
I partially consider this a win if she read me as some kinda queer femmy boy thing just from my hair and face all things aside.
Also ngl I'm finding it like wildly affirming- my first public, in-person transphobic interaction.
i'm in one of them liberal coastal states where long hair on guys isn't out of place.
I think it's funniest to just assume she does this to every guy with long hair.
Fic idea:
Egg visits silent Hill. Wakes up in the other world as a woman.
Haunted by manifestations of dysphoria that eventually lead to self acceptance. Themes of fear and sexuality.
Someone get on it. Thank me later.
I have started actually trying out voice training excercises, and have realized that my vibes based approach of just humming music as high as I can without my voice breaking, maybe wasn't that bad after all.
Also imitating the sounds my dog used to make, has given me a bigger vocal range.
I am still going to continue with the actual excercises, but I'll also continue just playing with my voice while having a walk or something. I used to sind a lot as a child, before my voice dropped.
I got told today by my endo that I likely have PMDD (Pre-menstrual Dysphoric Disorder). Considering there’s not a ton of research on the matter, he says it’s hard to say for certain if that’s the case, but will be treating it as such. Hoping that it can be diminished somewhat cause it is so debilitating.
Edit: Added a link for info.
stuck between my urge to look like a cute girl and my urge to look like

My biggest problem with buying fem clothes is that when I get home from work all I want to do is put on pajamas and lay around. So I have few pairs of leggings and comfy cute night shirts. But that's not "going out" clothes. And even then, I'm too afraid to go into my own backyard in leggings and a cute shirt.
I did wear leggings and a cute top to one of my therapy sessions because my therapist recommended it, but the anxiety nearly killed me.
More posting about Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl
I don't think I like Paul, I think Paul is a fucking weirdo.
"Mannish hands" is such a dumb fucking concept, how can they be mannish if a woman can have them?? And wow Paul, it's cute that you desire femininity and are are a weird quantum-state nonbinary ethereal egg, but don't go projecting that shit onto my 90s dykes like a weird misogynist. What if women wanna be shaped weird or rugged and handsome or punkish or just kinda funny, huh?????? What then, shapeshifting coward???????? I sympathise with him in ways but he strikes me as judgy, typical I guess? Pls reassure me that nobody ever thinks this way.
Just got back from the military check up, if anyone is wondering, they saw them, but they didn't touch them
