#i have been on hrt for a year

[marklikely]

the movie did such a good job at putting me in isabel/owens shoes honestly because i was looking at tara/maddys monologue scene through a lens of just not letting go of nostalgia so i was like 'oh my god do not get in that hole in the ground. this is crazy' but then two minutes later with hindsight i Understood and was like 'NO YOU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN IN THE HOLE IN THE GROUND GO BACK'

My hot take is that the term "egg" should be a self identifying label (ex: back when I was an egg)

only and not used in other people because you don't know their gender identity or how they'll develop as a person

It's so weird and uncomfortable when people proudly call others an egg as if it's a game instead of letting people express themselves in a way without the public trying to nail down their "real gender"

Looked in the mirror just now, realized I can't even *make* myself see the boy anymore. I made it, and I'm beautiful, I'm me. It feels... awesome.

Fuck I hate being an adult. I need a more adult adult to help with the volatile emotional situation.

another little update:

I finally got injections covered by insurance 🥹😭

[bogkeep]

my special skill is that i'm not afraid of emails. in fact i vastly prefer sending emails because i can do it whenever i have time... the alternative is usually making phone calls, and the phone call times are pretty much always work hours at work days, AKA the SAME TIME AS WHEN I'M AT SCHOOL!!!! this really sucks if the only time i have the opportunity to sit down and do Important Paperwork Stuff is the weekend or the evenings!!! Let Me Send A Written Message Please Please Please

I feel numb and angry and deeply, deeply sad. how can so many people be so blind and stupid and hateful? it genuinely makes me lose my trust in the people I see passing by me. and I don't want it to but so many more people came out to support such a vile excuse of a human shell. it's so hard to know that so many people picked their desire, their fleeting hope of touching power and wealth over the well being of millions. at least they will burn with us when he razes the economy

"...my one year anniversary being on testosterone!!! I had a vision of capturing my total gender euphoria [...] My trans and nonbinary body is divine I honor my body as it is now, and as it will be as I continue to become more and more myself..."

(me watching a video abt how women get misdiagnosed consistently bc the doctors are always like Umm its just anxiety) haha yeah thats so true!! That's why i transitioned!! now they blame it on my hormones just trying to level out 🥰🥰🥰

[tamagotchikgs]

the constant internal struggle of do i want 2 take T or do i just wish i were a cis man and ill be miserable either way

[exeggcute]

Why didn't you just go on T for fat redistribution?

fair question! a few reasons, among them that I know fat distribution is both one of the slowest changes to happen on T and one of the fastest to reverse itself if you ever stop, whereas getting fat cells sucked out of you with a straw is fast and fairly fucking permanent. and with my (former) waist-to-hip ratio I was doubtful anything short of a miracle would do much tbh. so given how impatient I was to tackle my biggest source of body dysphoria and how unlikely it seemed gradual measures would help I was super down to nuke that shit from orbit

just made a doctors appt for something i wanna get out of the way before i start hrt, and i feel like im gonna throw up .

[necromancelena]

Great. Get a text three hours before my appointment that the doctor is sick and it's cancelled and they don't know when my rescheduled appointment is gonna be now but probably not for a month. Also got to find out from the pharmacist that the doctor forgot to order my estradiol refill. Looks like we're doing this shit again.
