Wow, that was brave! Well done!

So far everyone I've come out to has been indifferent to supportive, but I guess it never gets easier... Still haven't dared to wear a dress in public though. I'm a bit jealous :P

Oh hai ~

One month into DIY already, and I'm feeling pretty good, yay! Hopefully I can get a prescription soon. It's hard to measure the effects objectively, but I now get what people mean when they say not to carry stuff against your chest. Ouch. Don't know if it's the hormones or losing weight, but my reflection looks... different, somehow? Maybe I'm imagining it.

Plus I met up with a group of girl friends I haven't seen since before my egg crack, and they were very quick to welcome me to the E team :3

Thanks for the recommendation! I hadn't heard of the show at all, but I'm enjoying it very much so far. It feels quite like something by Neil Gaiman (recent allegations notwithstanding)

Congratulations, and best wishes for a speedy recovery!

I'm curious what preparations were necessary (hair removal, stopping hormones etc), if any, and how long they took?

Thank you for sharing <3

Oh hai ~ the weekly thread is back, yay!

Things are pretty good here. Weight is slowly dropping off, which is a relief (still lots to go); I'm two weeks into DIY, and stuff seems to be happening. It's quite hard to be objective though. At least I have a backup plan in case the doctor is uncooperative.

Because of all the waiting I'm a bit worried about losing momentum, especially when the self-doubt creeps in. Well, screw that voice - I'm gonna be a woman anyway :3

Oh, and I bought some clothes in preparation for the cooler weather. The sleeves are all too short, so I'm (re-)learning to sew. Take that, fashion industry!

Sounds good to me. Where do I sign up? Do I get to wear a low-cut vampire girl outfit?

Looking good! Enjoying the smoothness?

What's one affirming activity you can do that always puts you in a better headspace? in c/[email protected]

Aww, the world needs more people like you!

Seconded! Forced myself to do some voice training yesterday, and just... kept going for most of the rest of the day. Every time the playback sounds just right is worth a hundred mistakes.

  3. Post-transition gender same as identified gender, definitely cis

A poem (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

I tried to put some feelings down in words. It's a bit dark; I hope that's OK.

A ship sailed over waters deep
Beneath a graying sky;
A sightless pilot at the helm
Dreaming of distant shores.

The clouds rolled in, the waves grew tall,
Yet onward pushed the boat;
What else to do for a lonely crew
Who knows no other home.

Insidious breakers beat the prow,
The sailor's grip grew tighter.
Far away from an unknown port
The ship began to founder.

To stay with these worthless timbered bones,
A barnacled prison cell,
Would bring an end to a pointless voyage,
And beautiful dreams as well.

One step, so small, into the dark,
Leave the ship to the ocean grim.
It matters not what the morning brings
For I was born to swim.

Shaving (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

If you've used one on your face, then You Know.

If you haven't, give it a go! You can remove a whole carpet's worth of hair in one swipe, with less irritation and super close. It's not as scary as it looks!

So this is what [CW: misgendering] feels like [Transfem] (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

I thought it wouldn't bother me, but ouch... (not their fault; I'm not out yet)

Boymode sucks now.

Sort of half came out to my family (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

That is, wife (43) and daughter (12). Told them I was re-evaluating myself and who I wanted to be, and that I wanted to try being "cuter" (didn't quite have the courage to go further), and that perhaps men's clothing didn't suit me.

The wife was mostly "yeah, right" -- seemed happy that I was trying to improve myself but seems to think it's just a phase (maybe it is? idk).

But my daughter was right on board! Came up with a load of outfit and makeup suggestions, and proposed going to an anime convention together, dressed up. I asked her if she'd think it was weird for me to go about dressed as a gothic lolita, and the response was "no, I think it'd be cute."

So next step is maybe cute anime girl cosplay at home, with an ally!

I'm literally shaking with ... excitement? fear? relief? I have no idea. Ohgodohgodohgod what am I doing...
