AAAAA! I know about the worker's tap! ;0; Chur not the only transfem I met here already. They've also been trying to get me to go but just... Wehhhh... Travelling alone is rough for me, especially since I can't drive so I'm forced to either carpool or public transport. (And even with the trimet, I still am just anxious the entire time. >^<)
I'll get over it... Eventually... maybe
I mean, visually, my face and body are unrecognizable from before. But that could be due to me starting HRT early on in my life (started at 19 years old, been 6 years since.) It's still jarring to look at myself in the mirror and see a girl staring back. I get so giddy but then of course, I see something off and obsess over it. Currently, that's my facial hair. It sucks having to shave everyday.
My hair has gotten SO LONG (Down to my stomach). So much so that other cis girls ask me tips on how I keep my hair healthy looking. >w< The first couple years I was afraid of wearing makeup out in public but lately have been having a lot of fun with it! It's just fun to look and feel pretty. >°<"
Mentally am still kicking, and I still have some troubles with the past here and there, but I wouldn't dream of giving this up for anything. I hope to have started some actual procedures like hair removal or bottom surgery within the next year, once I have figured out insurance. x.x But as of now, I'm just tolerating it down there (even tho it makes my life challenging...)
Anyways, that's the gist of it. Also, hai! Used to lurk so am kinda new here. I might post some pics at some point once I've built up the courage ^~^" Thanks, y'all! ❤️
