This #PrideMonth is hitting different. I'm doing a lot more thinking, and planning on doing a lot more changing. In previous years I've always felt outside of Pride celebrations. This year I'm celebrating by becoming who I really want to be.
It's terrifying. I'm the most scared I've been in quite a while. At the same time, I can't keep pretending I'm happy with my body as it currently is.
I don't want to be masc. I don't want to be fem. I just want to be me, whatever that looks like.
I could really use some folks to talk to during this #transition, ideally folks who have been through something similar. Despite the month, it's hard not to feel alone in being #agender wanting to move away from both sides of the gender binary.
I am a 27 year old trans woman from the UK and I am hoping to raise funds for my transition. Waiting times on the NHS for transgender healthcare can be up to five years, just for an initial consultation. It is very difficult to deal with my gender dysphoria on a day-to-day basis, so I hope to transition to private healthcare✨

"Help, community, support, connection: it IS out there for us. And the more we fight to access it, the more empowered we will become to make the changes necessary for trans joy – which means trans health – to become the rule, and not the exception." Fred
I am a tiny bit sad. If only because now I will remember a number -- 23149880 -- that is truly and completely obsolete. I really need to conserve brain space for more important things.
Also, if ICQ can last, what, 15 years? after it became irrelevant, what does that say about how long we're going to have to suffer with Twitter/X if people ever actually leave en-masse?

Hewo Fedi ! Ceci est une annonce, du coup les #boost sont plus que bienvenus !
Je suis à la recherche du Graal visiblement: un institut de beauté qui ne se met pas à faire le mort lorsqu'on lui demande d'épiler une personne en #transition. Dans le pire du pire à l'échelle du Grand-Est ou, idéalement, dans les alentours de #Reims.
Si quelqu'un a une adresse ou un élément de réponse, je m'engage à lui faire livrer un paquet de Choco Moo.
"Trans people come in all shapes and sizes. The ones I have met are nice and just want to get on with their lives. It is wearing to have to justify your existence every time someone wants to call you out on something someone has read or heard." Louise

We've been hearing an increasing number of reports of trans people's GPs refusing to prescribe their HRT to them - even if they have a letter from an NHS gender clinic requesting that they do.
Hi, I'm Amani, could you please help me with my transition?

Trans people have always been here, but too often our histories are hidden.
Have you heard of Jim McHarris? He was born in 1924 and socially transitioned in his early teens. He moved around a lot, but then decided to settle in Kosciusko, Mississippi. Unfortunately, other residents of the town soon discovered Jim’s gender history and he moved on once again.
“Trans people aren’t a threat to anyone; hate born by ignorance is. All trans (including non binary) people deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, no matter who we are and where we are at with our medical and social transition. Look beyond the hype and fear-mongering in the press. Become the representation you want to see yourself.” Fox Fisher
Elagabalus was made a Roman Emperor at the age of just 14. The Emperor often wore wigs and makeup, and liked to be referred to by feminine titles. Elagabalus reportedly offered a large sum of money to any doctor who could give them a vagina.
