HAPPY PRIDE EVERYONE!!! 
got punched in the head by a fascist today after screaming at a march they were doing in my city. I'm fine (it was a very pathetic punch), no regrets, it's scary that that's something I have to worry about regularly now though. stay safe out there and happy pride
Had my first ever date on the first day of pride and I am in shambles. She's so cute and she thinks I'm so pretty and I just can't handle a girl that cute calling me pretty aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
op exploded from cuteness, congrats
I propose we all get one free stabbing of a cishet this month 
Came home from work yesterday to find a dress I ordered off Etsy came much sooner than I was expecting. It's first actual dress I've gotten. So I ran inside, and put it on. Sooooo comfy and cute. Then when my husband got home a little later, he immediately said I looked cute and that he was proud of me for buying a dress finally. (I've clogged our shared amazon account with dress recommendations from all the searches I've done) Then he told me he had gotten me an anniversary gift and it came yesterday also. So he gave it to me and it's an adorable pleated skirt! I nearly died. I started crying and hugged him, thanking him over and over. I'm so lucky I get to have him in my life.
congrats
I wonder what percent of the population is actually trans. Studies always say quite a bit lower than 1% of the population identified as transgender. But if you asked 1960s Americans if they were gay, you'd also end up with an extremely low number. Alfred Kinsey did a more detailed survey and found a very high percentage of people had gay attraction. Li Shiu Tong came to the same conclusion but I don't know what his methods were. So the vast majority of LGB people identify as straight in homophobic societies. The recent survey that shows something like a fifth of Gen Z is gay in some way proves this. So I wonder what percent of trans people identify as cis in transphobic societies? Are there any studies that ask if people would press The Button, or other questions more insightful than just "are you trans?" What if it's actually rather high? Egg discourse would go crazy.
I had to boymode to the store today because I was out of clean women's clothes. I haven't really done it the last month or two, and now it just made me feel horrible and dysphoric.
I used so much money to update my wardrobe this winter/spring, and now I have to do it again for summer because I have like 2 outfits for hot days. 
local pride is corporate cop collaborator shit and trans pride, a local separate event that was anti cop, got neutered by fucked up local statutes in the wake of 2020, so i'm probably not attending pride events.
but happy pride for everyone. Four and a half years of hormones, north of five years of social transition under my belt and: I'm really tired but this is still the best thing I've ever done for myself.
So I'm doing a lot of research right now on stuff like hair removal options, make up, transfem workout programs, and related stuff. Is there a beauty comm for this stuff in particular? Or could I use the fashion comm? I just don't want to intrude on more serious discussion with questions on makeup or cute leggings or whatever.
Also trying to come up with a good transition strategy. My plan so far is just to go forward with HRT, body hair removal, and growing my hair out, until I can't hide it anymore, then I can just be like, "Welp. Guess I'm a girl now lol" but not sure how well this would work in practice. I also need to lose weight which could complicate things, or maybe it could provide me with more motivation to do both? Not sure how HRT and weight loss go together though, honestly.
Oh and I've started thinking of names, but I'm worried what I come up with is gonna be cringey. I really don't want a "normal" name, though, but I also don't want an obvious goth princess name (though I do want to be a goth princess).
EDIT: Ok I thought of a good name that is something meaningful to me and is really starting to stick in my head...

Lol I think this was my plan, and I just got to the "Im a girl now" part.
Boymoding is sort of bad in that it makes it very hard to live a full life, like you can't completely function socially when you're pretending to be a guy all the time. But I think it totally makes sense to boymode for a limited amount of time well you wait for HRT and sort out some other stuff. Going full time is scary, but it's less scary when you don't have a beard to worry about and such. Practicing voice helps a lot too if that's something you want to do.
I also lost 40lbs on HRT by counting calories. It's totally doable. HRT will debatebly make losing weight harder, but, like, cis women lose weight all the time.
We have a fashion com, but it doesn't get many posts. I would love to read more of your thoughts about this.
Happy Pride from us Autistics.
Just noticed this mega is for the week ending in 6/9.
Nope, nothing unusual or special about that.
Thinking about switching to E injections and going on progesterone. Also I heard from a friend that they often give you extra so maybe I can crack some eggs with that 
homosexuality is nigh
GAY 
Changed pronouns 
We'll have to see how these feel. I plan on mentioning my gender feelingsβ’ to a couple people this week.
Edit: changed back, felt fake
I started E two weeks ago! Feeling all sorts of brand new. 
My quest learning how to makeup continues. My power grows with every passing day, but we face setbacks. Today, I grew frustrated as a comedy of errors mounted everytime I tried and retried to reapply eyeliner. Somedays I feel 
and sometimes I feel 
I am happy at the stage in my life that I found out about my transness, my only wish is that I envy the teenage girls who got all this practice in earlier in their lives. Ah well, nowβs better than never, and it is really fun. Embracing and learning from mistakes is part of the process. Being trans fucking rocks.
Also, two weeks shy of one year on the horms! I find it deeply amusing that my traniversary is on Fatherβs Day. Hereβs to the father I will never be, yaβll. 
So I have slowly been building a very trans and queer friend group in my city. It's been going so well. It was my birthday recently and I held a little birthday get together at my house and 9 people came (to watch UFC no less!). I gotta say it's pretty fun watching MMA with a bunch of trans women (none of them are into MMA at all.. lol). Then we went out to some bars. It was fun. Good birthday.
As a seperate comment I have been holding PPV watch parties at my place with all my trans friends for the last like 5 months and it has been so much fun. I'm so suprised how many actually show up. It is WAY more fun watching it with women than with men, honestly. When I used to watch with some men it was always... shitty. The vibe of watching with women is so much better
happy pride everyone<3 y'all are wonderful
Weighed in on a trans thread and have six notifications on reddit now. I don't even wanna look
Back in my day we used to read the rainbow passage! Now all you transgender youngins are talking about "heat from fire" or whatchamacallit... 
second lasering of my face, went full power cause it didnt really destroy any hair last time. hurt less this time 'cause I was more used to the pain.
cw: me being into pain
got some lovely chills going down my spine when he popped my neck though, definitely a certified freak 7 days a week with regards to my neck 
I wish I could give my beard to a transmasc.
It really is so nice. It's gotten me so many compliments over the years, and it's brought me a lot of joy.
Wish I could pass it on.
sadness, transphobia
Welp i went NC with my parents. They tried to get me to read a book on detransitioners and i just cant do it anymore. I feel awful. They dont even try to understand and just dont want to listen to me. They use every BS argument in the book and point to bogus studies and it's so,,, frustrating. I have yet to receive a proper apology for my mom calling me a man to my face multiple times either. I hate this so much
It's really shitty that transphobes use detransitioners as a weapon. As if detransitioning is bad in any way.
Any person I've talked to who has detransitioned hasn't regretted their time being trans. Frankly, detransition is based because it's like being trans twice.
Happy pride
moving woes
Moving to get away from my shitty roommate and I can not wait to get tf out of here. There's something new with this fucking guy every goddamn day.
But my god i'd forgotten how fucking insufferable the process is. WHY does applying to places cost minimum $25? WHY do they have to see my bank balances? WHY do people have visible disdain for non-families moving in? I hate every fucking step of this.
I'm actually out of money, I had to borrow money from my partner and she's also nearly out of money. I literally can not afford to apply to a new place for the next 3-4 days and time feels like it's very quickly running out. I applied for a loan from my own retirement account so hopefully that makes everything go smoother but it also means I'm tied to this job that i fucking despise until i pay it off and that money's not going to get to me for at least 3 days, maybe longer.
And there's absolutely no guarantee that we're even going to be accepted by anywhere we apply to. Every place I've gone to see has had more than just us seeing it, and it's almost always a more "traditional family." My partner has been very pessimistic about even finding a place during this entire process and though I've been trying to stay optimistic and to keep both our spirits high I'm starting to be worn down. I have options if we fail to find a place by the end of the month, but my other two potential roommates are going to be shit outta luck and I can't have that on my conscience.
One silver lining is at least if everything goes well my new roommates will be my long-time friend's non-binary partner, and a trans woman.
good girls clutch rounds in cs2
<-- occasional good girl
in other news, I'm throwing absolutely everything I have at the problem of existence this year. I have a list with many things I plan to do and I'm going to be relentless doing them
maybe there's hope at the other end, but whether there is or not, I'll have done many things I've been wanting to
customer asked me if it was "sir or ma'am at work today". i had to lie about it but damn did that feel good
ough. Happy pride everypony
Just took a painkiller in preparation for epilating. I tried it a couple weeks ago and it was so painful. Rip and tear until it's done 
sure its pride, but do we all know june is also PTSD awareness month, because I sure am being made aware of my trauma
First
I am too nervous to go to pride, I also have no idea how to not dress to not draw eyes, and I also don't want to(dress lightly). I don't know how to not boymode in public really, and I also don't want to have to explain stuff to people. I should go, though. If simply to have contacts to local queer people
doing voice training so i can sound like a girl if i wanted to then choosing not to
letsgo 
Hello all!!! I hope you have a nice week and a happy pride!!! π³οΈββ§οΈπ³οΈββ§οΈπ³οΈββ§οΈ
