Pride’s over everyone! It’s now illegal to be gay again.

    I feel the egg metaphor ironically applies more to transition than pre-transition - it’s a slow and beautiful process where small changes accumulate on your body as cracks in the dysphoria shell leading to an emergence of the person you wish you were in your mind as reality in your mirror

    Today’s an awesome day. Today marks 3 months since my bottom surgery and the official end of my recovery. Still a little bit of issues here and there, but nothing serious enough for me to not be able to return to normal, daily activity. So stoked to getting back to working out and getting back to working my ass and hips. Hopefully I can drop a couple pounds and make my hips BEEG just in time for the furry convention I’ll be able to go to here in a bit. Though I am still sad I couldn’t make it to Anthrocon again this year :< (been going every year since 2011, missed this year and last year due to mine and puppy wife’s bottom surgeries)

    I’m only a strong, independent woman by circumstance. I’m actually a very weak, dependent woman whose been through too much bullshit and has no one to depend on

    Can I stop dreaming about my ex right fuckin now? She was doing an infinite money glitch on an ATM, every dream I have with her in it sucks. lea-why

    Is there a special reason I was both lucky enough to transition young and cursed enough to have to do it with my first girlfriend, who would turn out to be abusive (in many ways) and also a neurotypical normal leave my brain you utter sludge, I do not owe you my identity

    One weird thing I’ve learned from talking to cis people, even sympathetic ones, is that so many think trans people are always super visibly trans and you’ll always know if you’re speaking to a trans person.

    Which is ironic because cishets are like the easiest people to stealth mode among. The gays are usually a bit more attentive, and hiding it from other trans people is the super advanced difficulty.

    depersonalization?

    looking at my forearms right now and they look completely foreign, like they aren’t even mine.

    I feel this way kind of often about my body, especially like my legs. Its a very weird feeling, especially when it isn’t in an upsetting/dysphoric way. Those just don’t feel like my arms.

    Laser clinic is telling me I need to get treatment once a month, but I read online that facial hair grows faster, so once ever two weeks is better. Is this right? Should I cause a fuss? Or do I need to just resign to the idea that I’m gonna be doing hair removal for half a year?

    Edit: thanks for the info. I guess I’ll have to buckle up for a long haul agony-deep
