Same here. I rarely talk about it IRL.

Yep. It’s been a problem for a while. I’m adore IT so I fit into the fediverse alright, but the subculture around it is exclusionary in trans spaces.

The cool thing about the fediverse tho is that you can usually carve out your own space if you post on it/promote it enough.

Been doing pretty well. College has been really good for me and I feel happy in spite of all that’s going on in the world. Thriving is resistance.

Yep. It’s just a part of life running into people like that. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t suck, but as you get more experience with it you’ll find your own ways of pushing back. A good comeback is “oh, so you see your mother as a sex object?” or something like that.

Thanks a bunch. I’ll make you mod

I don’t use outlook anymore but I do use Thunderbird and the UI is janky and outdated, plus it has to download and catch up on messages every time you open it.

Awesome, congrats

Tumblr has a lot of LGBTQ people, but is a text based platform as opposed to a short form video platform.

I’m straight so not exactly the same situation but I recommend that you don’t let it take too much of your mental energy and do things that make you happy in the meantime. If you keep looking the odds are that you’ll find someone eventually, just takes time.

Can relate to the idea that it would be easier not being trans. It makes dating a lot more complicated to navigate and I’ve struggled with the idea that being trans makes me less desirable and attractive. Doesn’t help that I’m really bad at picking up if someone’s flirting with me and feel guilty if I do think that and what if she’s just being friendly. Ultimately I realized that the right person isn’t gonna care that I’m trans and will love me for my full self.

From my understanding that’s pretty rare. Also know plenty of cis women who’ve gotten that from age and/or childbirth.

I usually just eat the hard drive

I have no fucking idea the path that my life is gonna take. Things were looking up and all I wanted was to finish the college of my dreams and enjoy my life. I have absolutely no idea what to do now. I do have citizenship in another country that I can flee to but that means leaving my friends, family, and education behind. What’s gonna happen :/

For future reference: you can post most things as long as it relates to the topic (ftm and transmasc) and isn’t harmful to you or others

What’s the name of that comic series with the character on top. I’ve seen it before.

Edit: Found it.

Too relatable…

Thanks, wouldn’t be able to do everything without my lovely team of co-mods.

I stink now. Wasn’t expecting it to happen so soon (bout two and a half months low dose) Have to change my boxers more often than I used to and shower more (the horror). I smell more sour.

T made me more emotionally stable. I’m way less depressed than I used to be despite not changing much about my life. I used to wake up and the default would be sad, now I wake up and feel neutral (not in a numb antidepressant way, just in a normal way) most days. Worked way better than any antidepressant I’ve been on. Wasn’t expecting that to happen. I’ve heard people say they’re happier on T. Feels like I’m on default mode nowadays. Never felt that way before.

Occasionally I’ll have dreams of… anger? I’ll be asleep dreaming and feel angry, then when I wake up I’ll be normal again.

Also I’ve been getting more bloated after eating or drinking anything. Apparently T can increase water retention.
