hiii it's cold today, so i hope everyone's staying warm and doing well 
my apartment is so cold sometimes it's miserable T_T but we stay comfy
Hiii, I am staying warm, I hope you have a great week too
It is so cold. Had to whip out the space heaters and electric blankets this week. But now I get to be cozy 
might get some chill cuddles soon 
Now that I've graduated, my grandmother wants pictures of me holding my degree. She has a spot on her living room wall where she keeps photos of all her family that went to uni. I didn't go to my graduation, but she still wants to add me to the wall.
I've been putting the whole thing off for now. But, like, I'm not out to her yet and don't know how I'd explain how badly looking at a picture of myself like this will make me feel.
But at the same time, I feel guilty about refusing to do this for her when she was so supportive of me during my studies.
I think this progesterone is working nicely for me. Two weeks in, i sleep better than before and i think my boobs have started a new growth phase.
Also begun to reach out to some trans-inclusive local bondage meetups to learn more about shibari-type stuff. Once you move past handcuffs, you gotta know what you're doing and it's gonna be fun to meet more kinky people in my area.
Also fucking finally got my health insurance's approval for bottom surgery and got on the wait list for the clinic i've picked.
Also also toyed around with my dosages a bit and tried to cut out CPA entirely after halving the dose worked so well, but that didn't turn out so good. The main issue was actually that my blood pressure went through the roof again after 4 or 5 days without CPA (the half life of this stuff is endless), in the same way it did before i got on HRT. Got back on CPA and things went back to normal. I seem to have some cardiovascular problem that's more or less directly tied to my testosterone level. Should look into that, but idk where to find a cardiologist that understands trans issues as well ...
I've been thinking about trans men a lot recently, for years most of the online spaces I've been in have been almost entirely trans women but not too long ago I stumbled into some places with a lot more trans masc people. It opened my eyes a lot hearing what they had to say and seeing the shit they get from inside the queer community. It's embarrassing but literally every single trans friend I have is trans fem or NB, I don't actually personally know any trans guys. I'd like to change that but the problem is that where I've been finding more trans men has been in primarily nsfw spaces so it'd feel weird reaching out and DMing someone there and I wouldn't want to come off as like I'm hitting on or being creepy/chasery to anyone so idk what to do. Plus trans men have so few communities as is I wouldn't want to be invading
There's tons of trans men on tumblr. Since hexbear budded off from reddit and reddit mostly has dudes it isn't that surprising that most of us are MTF. I know a couple trans guys irl! They're both super cool.
It is sad that trans men get such shit, when they start passing they don't feel as welcome either passively or overtly in LGBT spaces which is a total bummer. It's part of why male lesbian is a thing for the straight trans men.
I know the trans men I know from trans support groups or from connections related to people from support groups. Meeting up in an irl trans or LGBT support group is probably the best way to connect with some cool guys!
fuck work
Going to be a good weekend. I can feel it
FEELING GOOD
it's really nice that the guy that does my hair is gay and also a weeb, so we can talk queer shit and anime the whole time
I like my hair lady, she looks so severe which for some reason I like. I also like that she's quiet, I don't like the chit chat thing. Didn't say a word for 3 hours while my hair was getting dyed, it was perfect.
The weekly queer thread should get 1000 comments in 5 days like the news mega
Just gotta reverse the polarity of gaydar
What the hell even am I
okay update from the other thread fortunately im not going to be the only trans woman involved but I am still a little worried cause one of the guys does give me weird vibes. thisll be something ive gotta take care of eventually unfortunately 
I know it's a privilege for a lot of people, but as a masculine presenting person attracted to men, I feel jealous of people who get approached by men for dating.
Maybe it's a case of the grass being greener, but I hate how surprising it is for people when I come out to them. It's kept me safe, I can tell, but I would like a guy to flirt with me just once.
As I'm writing this, I'm thinking about things I do to protect myself and how much that's keeping people from approaching me.
How do I find irl local queer groups
I swear wearing a bra has improved my posture and I don't get why. Maybe just the slight pressure from the band? I like it though.
