That seems like a terrible idea. How are you supposed to properly investigate a story if you have to first disclose the entire lead to the world? Would this not create the same kind of overreaching editorialism that investigative journalists already push against, except now the person doing the editorialising is actually a whole pool of donors?

Every so often I get annoyed at Australia’s healthcare system, then I remember the US. Sorry dude.

Does anybody have experience with progesterone creams?

I feel like I am at a point in my transition where I might benefit from adding progesterone into the equation. However, I have heard wildly different opinions on whether it has any impact at all, and criticism of generally available creams on amazon for not being the same as human progesterone, since they are often derived from...

I’ve never heard of progesterone cream, but I definitely wouldn’t trust any from Amazon. I take oral progesterone and am very happy with the results

I remember reading Calvin and Hobbes, with their transmogrifier, and thinking I would write “girl” on it. Bit of foreshadowing I guess haha

Same. I never thought I would be off them, but here I am. Really ironic considering all the condescending people who told me I just think I’m trans because I’m depressed.

Woman probably. IDK I’m kinda just vibing it out from my brain.

Also this guy

I think you’re in the clear lol. Reminds me of the times I left trans stuff open on my laptop in front of my brother before I was out. Turns out he already knew anyway, since instagram recommended my profile haha

IDK, I had a really good period at the end of last year where I was consistently happy and I think it was from a combination of finally liking my face, my body (mostly, I wish I was more in shape), and finally gaining the confidence to start dressing and presenting openly fem in public. Still makes my happy most every day!

I’ve gotten all my friends hooked on OpenTTD multiple separate times

Finally came out to my mom yesterday.

As of this post, I am about seven and a half months into my transition (mtf). I’ve had talks with all of my friends, and all of those went great! I have been overwhelmed with the love and support from everybody. Some of those conversations were scarier for me than others, but none of them were as intimidating to me as a...

I think I understand where you’re coming from. Do you maybe feel overly observed (for lack of a better word)? Like, transitioning is fairly messy, complicated, and hard, and you feel a little like you’ve been put under a microscope without your knowledge? I’m sure you intellectually know that she was just waiting until you were comfortable discussing it with her, but I could see you reacting how you are regardless.

If that’s not why you feel the way you do, is it possible you feel a little let down? Transitioning is one of the biggest things you can do as a person, and you built up to coming out, only for her to already know? I’ve heard that feeling expressed by a lot of queer people.

PS You’re not alone in your family figuring everything out before you tell them. My parents had noticed breast growth and put two and two together years before I came out to them!

Don’t get into business with a narcissist. If you don’t figure out they’re a narcissist until after the business has started, bail or kick em out.

Never? I wouldn’t tolerate it and wouldn’t work at a place that did

My non-binary at the time friend, now partner (!!!) convinced me to let them apply makeup on me. I had already been seriously questioning my gender for a year now. Looking in the mirror afterwards, I thought it looked a little weird but it made my brain very happy. They also changed my name in their phone to Emily after I told them I had picked it out in high school “just in case”. I decided to try transitioning and never stopped, and I’m happier than ever.

Before I transitioned? Eating disorders, disassociating, isolating. Since then, seeing the positive changes to my body, and the control I exercise over it has helped resolve it most days. There are still times I feel intensely dysphoric (whenever I voice train, when a stranger with the best of intentions misgenders me), but in those cases I usually let myself feel it (rather than bottling it up) and it’ll pass.

I’m sorry that happened to you. That is horrible, and I’m certainly not trying to claim that we don’t have violent bigots. I’m more trying to say that they aren’t as successful politically as in the US and UK.

NSW and WA stand out as particularly regressive when it comes to transgender legal procedures. Especially when even Queensland is reforming their laws to remove surgery requirements.

She actually did it multiple times! The one you would have heard of was in Victoria, which is up there as one of the most progressive states in Australia. She also came to Canberra, the capital and where I live. I obviously attended the counter-protest and there were also Nazis there (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Anti-trans_protester_in_Canberra.jpg).

Starting Estrogen had the same effect on depression for me, I’m finally looking to actually get off them! Also, very unexpectedly, I’ve apparently started emoting more and putting more expression into my voice. I’ve always spoke with a monotone, so I was very surprised at the development.

Also yeah guys are sweaty and stinky lol

Comment has been removed, sorry you had to see that 😓

It would be interesting, but also it definitely makes intuitive sense to me. I had an unidentifiable lifelong depression, seemingly stemming from a hatred for my body, “not fitting in” in social situations, and “feeling broken” generally. Pretty obvious what the cause was in retrospect 😅. Transitioning has resolved all of those, and I think intonation creeping in is another effect of finally feeling comfortable socially for the first time in my life.

Gender euphoria comes from funny places, I get it from boob sweat haha.
