we must surpass the news mega
ignore my news mega posting i am not a traitor that must just be a bug ignore it
I've gotten very far into my physical transition since last summer, and recently I've made some more progress with getting my parents to understand this whole trans thing. But everything else in my life has just gotten worse, sadly.
Rant about personal struggles, transphobia and loneliness
I feel like I'm never going to get a job, I'm struggling to stay motivated for anything thanks to my ADHD, I've grown very distant with the few friends I have, and I have no idea how I'm gonna come out to my extended family. The isolation I feel from all of this is really starting to take a toll on me. There's also fact that my brother is a techbro chud that thinks trans people are all just mentally ill. Wish I could cut him out of my life, but that's difficult to do when he still lives with my parents, who I very much care about and want to stay in contact with. This shit sucks
Despite all of this I feel hopeful about my future. Gonna try to join a local queer org soon, see if I can't get to know more trans people that way. Also looking into getting therapy, as well as trying out a different ADHD medication since ritalin isn't doing anything for me.

CAN WE HIT 1,000 COMMENTS FOR MAXIMUM PRIDE?
getting a big scary looking collections letter from the lab that did my blood analysis saying OPEN IMMEDIATELY to deliver me this big scary looking bill with a grand total of $7.60. wtf calm down, that's not enough to buy a cheeseburger anymore
Yesterday I had the worst shower possible, I go in, put hot water, realize midway through that I have no soap, no shampoo, no sponge, so I just threw hot water on my body for like 30 minutes and wore my clothes
breast talk
Sometimes I love my breasts and sometimes I hate them. I wonder what taking T will do to these feelings. I don’t really want to lose them right now but I also want to pass as man. Weird?
How do people handle names with job applications? In the past I've just used my legal/dead name but now I'm using my chosen name on top and adding a note on my resume of my legal name and that I'm trans. It's a little awkward and I'm worried about discrimination, but idk how best to approach it.
For context I've mostly been working blue coller in warehouses or doing data entry or light technical repair type stuff, and I'm applying in blue areas in the US.
i personally wouldn't disclose my legal name until I was like, hired and had to do so for payroll or whatever. your choice but I felt more comfortable just only going by my chosen name immediately when it came to that stuff and wouldn't bother disclosing I was trans at such an early stage of the process either. certainly not something I'd put right on the CV. I don't live in the US so I'm not really familiar with the specific hiring climate you're in though, but I would think that would be an unusual thing to do
recently I've been trying to frame things as hopeful about the future with my body instead of focusing on what frustrates me now. it's definitely a gradual process, but I think it is helping
The Stalinist admins saw we were doing good despite them shutting down the site to attempt to block us and have now removed us from pinned.
Injection #3 today; hopefully things start happening soon!
possible changes !?!?!
My chest has been a bit more sensitive and sore, so it's either because I sleep on my stomach, the E, or both (I really have to stop sleeping on my stomach).
I keep getting gender euphoria from the weirdest things. Yesterday I had to wear these fireproof/cut proof arm sleeve things for work and my first thought was how good they made my hands look. They were like a pair of cute heather green arm warmers. So here I was admiring how nice my hands looked and thinking about how cute things would look with my nails painted. All the while I'm surrounded by a bunch of steel worker dudes.
working on bringing up them post numbers by saying:

⚠️To the mods who unpinned the mega⚠️
I have one message for you:
This aggression will not stand.
I'm the only one standing between you and an undulating mass of hormonal super soldiers.
I'm willing to come to the table, but even my patience has its limits.
For your sake, make the right choice.
Whenever I feel like I'm "faking it" I just think of all the hexbears who feel the same way, and then the feeling dissolves.
This place is powerful
Learning to do makeup and nails is so much fun. i just did my nails with almost no errors 💃💅
My partner is struggling with my new self but is being loving and supportive and it makes me feel very special.
She's taking me out tonight in full femme for the first time and i'm so excited to be out with her and not by myself.
You all have been so special and supportive to me in all of this i really appreciate y'all a lot 💚
People in trans voice lessons who comment "I'm not trans, but..."
Nobody believes you
Am I cis or do I have internalized transphobia? I actually have no clue at this point and it's getting annoying.
Its the middle of winter I'm tired of 'pride' bring on wrath it sounds cosier
Torrenting I Saw The TV Glow for tonight, finally feel like I can fit in here
Super bored at work.
Any trans people experience this? Does this mean I'm trans? Or is being bored at work a cis thing?
Lots of straight people at the lesbian bar.. just got asked by some dude if I was in line for the men's room. Very cool
ranting about my flatmate.
spoiler
My Flatmate keeps asking me if I am still sure about being trans and hrt. I just about have had it with her. It's extremly annoying, and also transphobic. Happy that we have only a month left of living together. Maybe I'll get to live with people that respect my choices
What's up with this update?
I can only scroll for 2 pages. When I hit back from a thread, it always takes me to the first page. This shit sucks
Edit: I can only see one page!?
clothing dysphoria (envy?) discussion (if that makes sense)
I probably over spoiler but
Its really weird how I can feel... I don't know if its dysphoria or gender envy but I really want to wear girl shorts instead of guy shorts. Its 6 inches of fabric brain, why is that such a big deal? Like really wanting to wear a skirt makes sense because there's nothing like it in normal guy clothing, but shorts? Really? That's what I feel a deep longing in my heart to change?
Also how weird is that? Its not part of my body but... I don't know. It feels a lot like how I want to shave my legs, yaknow? But that's part of me. I guess they're both gender presentation things. I don't know where I'm going with this or if I'm making sense so I'll just cut it off here.
