I just experienced this a few days ago, and I almost cried. Only 1 month into HRT. Feels amazing

military academy hijinks and nonsense, MC has the power to "detect the feelings of food and those who prepared it"

also you kind of need to know BlazBlue story and characters for it to make some sense

source is Mai Natsume from the BlazBlue mangas, unfortunately the plot is kind of brainrot, I tried to read it but couldn't get through any of it

Oh it's just a pill bottle of 2mg Estradiol. Noted for next time

Thanks I appreciate this community so much <3, and I have also misgendered myself recently, with habitual speech patterns too haha. The doubts come and go still, but it is pretty mild now. It mostly just depends on my mood.

For voice training, since I'm a research-aholic and self-motivated, I've found plenty of online guides for getting the fundamentals right, raising larynx, resonance, mouth/tongue position, etc.

Here's some of the guides I've followed to various degrees. Warning, some are very theory heavy, but afaict it's all pretty similar. The main thing is to get into a good daily routine with basic exercises and work your way up.

Unsure yet, I'm just starting off with the recommended doses by my doctor.

Thanks. That's helpful, I hadn't run into that yet.

 

Honestly I still can't believe this is actually happening...

Thanks.

It's good to know I'm not the only one who felt initially weird about the new pronouns and name.

 

I haven't posted anything in a while, but a lot has happened.

  • I lost my job due to a mass layoff, the timing sucked so much, but I have some runway from the severance package, so it's not all bad.
  • I got therapy after all, and it helps a bit.... but I also think I need a different therapist.
  • I came out to my close friend groups, and they have been very supportive.
  • Voice training has been going well, I've made some crazy progress in only 2 months, and I have a pretty dark/raspy voice.
  • Getting called she/her and my girl name (that I chose), still feels weird, giving me doubts about it all.
  • Still super excited for HRT tomorrow, so.... lol at the doubts.

Anyways thanks for reading all this.

Cute affffff! Slayyy

 

Before my egg cracked, I was about to make a dumb joke to them, like "welcome to the patriarchy". Now I don't even know what to say haha.

I'm not an expert but I have some experience now, from learning as a total beginner for about a year.

Nail polish that comes with a good brush helps a decent amount, I really like the ones from ILNP.

Don't be afraid to make mistakes and start over, you can use a fine tipped dry brush or just paper towel+acetone to fix mistakes. A toothpick or a small wooden dowel can be used to cleanup the edges. Practice practice practice.

And yeah like others have said, it's better to apply to 2 coats of color, and then maybe a top clear coat.

Hi, congrats!

I find every little bit of self affirmation helps, start small, go at your own pace.

You got this ♡

All the time. So then I overshare and explain the reference entirely...

My egg finally cracked, or more like it has been cooking for a while and now it is finally done?

I turned 35 recently and despite all the really obvious signs over many many years - into gender bender anime/manga, occasional crossdressing for "fun" at home, is it just a kink? huge Miku fan, do I like her / want to be her? etc. I always kind of just compartmentalized it as a kink mostly. And I have a pretty stable life atm, I'm doing well, but maybe I felt a few things didn't fit.

I've always been slow with my feelings, but I've been reading all these experiences on egg_irl and transmemes lately. Especially Brook2Valley comics, and these memes/posts below really resonated.

I did some broader research to really confirm things for myself and damn, just admitting it finally felt euphoric. So much that I couldn't sleep and apparently it has fixed my ADHD.

I'm not even remotely ready to share with my irl friends yet, but I started looking at health care options locally that are trans friendly.
