2·7 months agoThat is pretty well what I was thinking. This is part of the reason, but there’s a support for these things I’m not explicitly mentioning.
Also, 8j my case the reason definitely contributed to the idea I may not necessarily want to bring up yet that led to the obvious results.
6·7 months agoDamn! As a transfem, I wish I could look half as good as you! 😍
Ok, an excuse I haven’t used yet, but been keeping in my back pocket is this,
“I recently go on this new medication for (anxiety in my case) and it helped a lot and since I (was less anxious) I had more mental bandwidth to consider different things and was better able to pay attention to different parts of my health a wasn’t able to before”
Obviously not this verbatim, but this idea in some form. Because to some extent it is true in my case.
I got this book, and while I haven’t gotten very far through it, it seems veery promising.
That was a great read!
Who could have predicted?
That does make me feel better about it, but going from an area that is fairly accepting, traveling through the middle of nowhere to an area that I don’t know how friendly it is. I don’t want to draw any odd attention to myself.
Yeah that sounds similar to me 😂 at a point it was like “why are these so funny? Are they relatable?” and then remembered “you remember when you used to enjoy all the adhd memes and then found out why? Yeah…” 😅 then identity crisis for a few weeks.
I think I’m undoing lots of internalized stuff. Slowly making progress though!
I’ve been wanting to do some hair removal, but I’ve got this pre-planned trip to Texas coming up so… Don’t really want to make any noticeable changes before that. But definitely this winter when I can experiment undetected under long clothing 😁💯
I’ve not gone out full fem, but I’m pretty sure I would get looks. I have went out a couple times in polish and for the most part, I don’t think anyone acted like they noticed. One time I was an anxious wreck though, hiding my hands half the day.
Your story sounds similar to mine. I was still struggling with the labels so all I could say was “not cis” but that’s a difficult thing to tell someone you’ve been in a relationship with for 10+years “hey… I might not be who we thought I was” 😅
I’m happy to hear she is accepting and working through it with you. Mine kind of had a crisis of her own trying to reconcile her side of feelings but is supportive and seems more confident in our relationship now, which is awesome. It’s definitely not easy but the help is awesome!
My therapist told me at one point “you haven’t shown this much personality before” and I think I’ve seen her in and off a couple years now 😅 although, I got an antidepressant combo that may have helped that, and also probably allowed me enough mental bandwidth to realize I was an egg too!
Also, out of curiosity, did you also spend too much time in egg_irl? 😂
💯 This!
Another way I’ve heard it phrased was that at the end of the day, you’re the only one that has to live in your body. You’re the only one that has to live your life full time.
Yeah I am also interested.
I’m also a lil goofy.
That does sound right, not sure then.
Yes! She lost 190 lbs of muscle (~85kg for our metric friends)! That’s insane, that’s pretty much my entire body weight!
Am I the trifecta? I might be the trifecta.
It’s a really fun site
This may have been the one that put the first crack in my shell
