    dysphoria

    Its been bad lately. I just want to be able to look at myself naked in the mirror and be kinda ok with myself. It feels like progress is going backwards, my body feels less feminine than a year ago, after a couple laser sessions my face somehow has more hair and i cant afford more laser (they charge a lot, i did the math and its $400-600 an hour). But specifically, my shoulders are just wrecking me right now…

    How do yall deal with shoulder dysphoria? I realllly dislike my shoulders, and everything makes them look larger. For reference im 195cm and somewhat thin (my belly begs to differ tho), with somewhat wide shoulders (my armpits line up with my hips). I used to try and find things to wear that would work for my body, but i have no money and tbh i dont think this is something clothing can fix… I just want to be able to look at myself in the mirror and be ok with myself… doggirl-gloom

    i can’t really “procrastinate” translating a manhua, since it’s my own prerogative, but my brain sure makes me feel like i am.

    translated an old special/side story chapter that somehow wasn’t translated by the previous group instead of translating the one i’m “supposed to”. it also turned out to be longer than the main story chapters so yay

    severance

    I still think about the Gemma reveal at the end of S1E7 of Severance and think it might very well be my favorite scene of TV of all time. Granted, I haven’t watched a lot of shows, so the statement might not be as strong as if someone who watches more shows than me said it, but I’m pretty sure it’s true

    Big brain yakuza theory: I propose the heat mechanics in yakuza is basically what hamon is to the jojo vers. It’s something fighters have access to and regular people have very little clue on but like hamon regular people do notice it so it’s not exactly like stands in jojo.

    My trans friend is making awesome progress! I helped her get a GP appointment (intake forms were tricky and I recommended the local Very Woke clinic) so that she can get a proper referral to gender affirming care (she has that appointment already, but I want to make sure her insurance covers it). And her boss is being incredibly chill about her coming out. He is gay so he knows what kind of support she needs. Plus, she came out to other people before him just to make sure she would have support.

    Before this, I was the only person in her life using her proper pronouns and name. But she is realizing how little most people think about or care if someone is trans in our city. It seems that her parents will not take her transition seriously until she starts to look different. They misgender her all the time.

    Despite my personal problems with my parents, I am grateful that they are very pro LGBT libs and are using her pronouns when she comes over.
