Thanks for readin'!

Thank you! I hope when the time comes, that talk goes as well for you as it did for me. Yeah, my dad is like that haha, I get you

Thanks a ton for reading my post! That's a really helpful reframing, honestly. I am sure she waited just to give me space to find the right time. And yeah, makes sense that a mother is more likely to just know lol. She knows me in a way most people never will.

Thanks for taking the time to read this long post!

Yeah, it's always tough when logically you know the reality of a situation, but it doesn't change how you feel about it haha. I think it was a bit of a "let down" to have it not be surprising, but also, I think if I'm honest, I was a little embarrassed. I know that I shouldn't be, but after some contemplation, I have a feeling that might be a factor lol

Thank you!

I'm sorry this is happening to you, Riikka. I hope you are able to find a way to live independantly, away from hurtful people. If you don't mind sharing, what lead up to this?

Because I am in early stages of my transition, I've been dealing with dysphoria by constantly taking tiny, measurable steps in the right direction. It is easy for me to handle not being where I want to be, when I can see that I am always progressing toward that goal.

Not sure what I will do when I exhaust the pool of changes I can expect to see, but hopefully by then I will be happy with where I am

That's a great rule. You are spot on that media like that is everywhere, so it's nice to have this space focused on positivity and support. Doom scrolling is just not good for anybody. Thanks for your excellent moderation!

Thank you! That's quite true

♥️

That is very reassuring to hear, thank you!

Thank you! 🙏
