When I was a (very cis) teen I was constantly daydreaming about being a streamer girl and I even had a username planned and everything. I grew out of my desire to be a streamer (thank god), but at least I'm doing better at the "girl" part of it than I ever thought I would.

I do try to decide what clothes I'm going to wear the night before. But make-up, skincare, shaving, etc., I have to do in the morning. Especially make-up I'm still not great at doing, so I need to take things slow or I'll just end up looking worse instead of better. Then I have a horrible habit of taking a million selfies afterwards to make sure things look okay and it's not just the mirror lying to me or something.

I've been on HRT for just over 5 months now.

Pros: It's been amazing, way better than I imagined. So many people said it's not gonna fix everything and things will still be difficult and it's not magic, but it definitely feels like magic to me. I have never in my life felt this happy or good about myself. It feels like things are finally sort of clicking into place.

Cons: Since boymoding makes me feel bad now, but I still have insecurities about going outside as a woman, I usually spend like 90+ minutes to get myself ready even if I'm just going to buy some groceries.

I honestly think we should stop using the term and just call them transphobes. I don't have a problem using it for actual radical feminist that hates trans people, ie. Germaine Greer and people like that, but in reality people who hold those believes in anti-trans circles are very rare, and they're mostly second wave feminists in their 70s or above.

I'm aware that a few radical feminists are still active in those circles, but the majority of TERF thought leaders are either liberal pop-feminists, or don't even identify as feminist at all. Because of that I don't buy for a single second that their hatred of trans people comes from misguided feminist beliefs, rather than plain old disgust and a weird need to defend normalcy that's not at all different from how conservative christians feel.

Is wearing short shorts with tights underneath still acceptable or was that like a 2010s fad?

Just took a painkiller in preparation for epilating. I tried it a couple weeks ago and it was so painful. Rip and tear until it's done

Complains about hexbear but links a lemmygrad thread.

Smh we're stealing valor

I had to boymode to the store today because I was out of clean women's clothes. I haven't really done it the last month or two, and now it just made me feel horrible and dysphoric.

I used so much money to update my wardrobe this winter/spring, and now I have to do it again for summer because I have like 2 outfits for hot days.

I don't understand any of the technical stuff but this is such an amazing project.

Mfw guy who wrote about how gross gay people were 20 years ago is transphobic today

Do they think the parents of most elementary school kids are like 75 years old?

Hello, my name is Jane Terf. Despite having been in a straight marriage for 25 years, and never having had a gay thought my entire life, I have made it my life's mission to gatekeep lesbianism. I'm not going to ask any actual lesbians how they feel about this, as I'm scared of speaking to anyone not straight.

" the left-wing authoritarian personality construct" lmao shut the fuck up weirdo, who unironically believes this shit?

perfect

I have an intense urge to be cuddled and worked up the courage to make a dating profile, despite being super nervous about being trans on a dating app.

I instantly match with some guy.

He just sends "Hi", "horny?", then a picture.

Definitely not opening that.

This was a terrible idea, I panic and delete my profile.

Still have not been cuddled.

he's got the ronald reagan type of brainworms

Randomly bumped into a pre-transition friend while fully fem-presenting and he was completely normal about it and we just chatted for a while.

I'm usually a bit nervous about meeting old friends in case some of them are weird about it, but at the same time it's so fun when I can show them the real me and how far I've come.

I don't think it's libertarian at all, the message seems very environmentalist

Got some padded push up bras and it feels like I'm cheating a bit, but they have such an amazing impact on my silhouette, I love it so much. Hope I'll just look like this naturally in a year or two.
