Oh my, I hope they didn't hurt themselves with all the mental gymnastics they had to do!

“we don’t like or condone bigotry in any form.” = "We don't limit or defund bigotry in any form"

What's that saying about if you're sitting at a table with a Nazi and you don't say anything then there's another Nazi at the table?

All you need to start with is something that gets your heart rate up and gets you breathing hard for 30 - 40 mins per day!

I am fortunate enough to be in a position to buy an exercise bike and a rowing machine, so I alternate between the two, find a tv show with long episodes and watch one per day as I exercise.

Plan an exercise regime, if you don't have one already! Of course every transition is a little different, but from what I've seen weight gain can be common.

It also has another benefit: as you become estrogenized fat gained will be distributed differently, so a good diet and exercise plan can help work off any fat in boy places ready to become the new, beautiful, feminine you! ❤️❤️

Something that helped me a little is that, if anything, these feelings are an exhibition of our sisterhood with all other women. Even as much as they wish they didn't, 99.9% of women regardless of gender at birth, wish they could change their looks in some way, wish they could remove that thing they're most insecure about. All we can do is the same that all other women do, find the version of ourselves that makes us the happiest.

But inside that there also has to be some realism. The ladies we envy, the models and movie stars and idols and influencers and who ever else, they are a statistically tiny portion of the population. There's a couple of billion women who will never, and could never, look like that and that's okay. We are probably one of them, and that's also okay.

Do you have an epilator you could recommend? Once every 4 weeks sounds like a dream...

Do people still say blursed? If so, this is that.

Yep! It's only job is comfy movies on the projector so I just went with the easiest option

I had to prove it's a Unix OS! I took this, grabbed snackies and put it full screen, I promise <3

Gosh thank you so much! I had never heard of Ventoy before but it was so easy and worked instantly!

Gosh yes, I'm having lots of problems with resonance, I can't stop sounding hollow :(

I still can't really tell if I'm doing something wrong or if I just need more practice! I guess I'll just practice until the new year and then maybe look for a clinician!

Thank you very much, this was super helpful <3

In this regard I am fortunate in that I am still very early in my transition, my girl voice is very bad and embarrassing, I can't really present feminine yet, I still have a very long way to go. So it's uncomfy to pretend nothing is going on, but it's not gonna really hurt me.

I don't think I'll be visiting them again after this time though.
