Got tacos for taco Tuesday and I'm so fat and happy
We have a responsibility to be as gay and annoying as possible
Listening to the latest Dan and Phil podcast ep and I really felt that. Hell yeah 😎
Being gayer and more annoying ma'am
Ugh I just feel terrible today and want to leave. Can't wait to be done with this awful place.
If working full time somewhere is worse then this I actually won't know what to do anymore.
Also fuck society
new hazing ritual:
PATCH TEST & CONSULTATION: Please arrive for your patch test with full hair growth to all treatment area(s). This is to monitor your hair-loss journey. We will shave a small area to carry out the patch test on the day.
the last place never did this to me. how awful.
Weird, I didn't have to do this. I just took before pictures so I could tell if it's working (it is).
I'm 15 months on the HRT.
I'd already been lastering my body and taking finasteride for a couple of years so my hair was long and phenomenal. I started with pretty wide hips weirdly and I'd lost a lot of weight rowing.
I've been eating so much. So I've got decent breast growth. My breasts would be big on a smaller girl. My butt is coming in nicely. I gained an inches in height from confidence.
Skins been great. I'm losing the puppy fat ageless look but I look way different to before. Clocky but different.
Mentally it really helped.
The following are the lineup of university assignments I have right now:
- Teach a machine how to think
- Investigate the secrets of glass by multiplying 2 light beams together
- Pretend to interview a classmate for a trucking job.
This last spring was my 13th year hormonersary. Such an unreal thing to write, even more unreal to be a part of such a vibrant community here. Love you all
13th year
Holyyyyyyyyyy
13 years
Love you too CARCOSA. Hexbear admins have made this place one of the best on the internet. No small feat.
Coming up on 7 months on hrt (and 10 months off alcohol), and it’s unbelievable how much better my life is now compared to a year ago. I can work towards a future i couldn’t imagine before. I can exist without feeling fraudulent. And the physical changes have been a blessing, I feel so much more confident, even though not that much has occurred
I hit 1.5 years of HRT a little over a week ago! My tits are small but mighty and my ass looms ever larger. I'm so happy I figured my shit out. I've never been happier!
Does ass take longer then tits to grow? I'm like 3 years in hrt; my tits are pretty big and nice. Lots of other great changes. I'm very happy with it, and honestly love my body. My ass hasn't really changed though, still pretty flat. Any hope for that?
Trends for whats considered a beautiful body type come and go. Not long ago, a flat butt was considered peak (dunno why but whatever). Anyway, you can get a bigger butt wirh squats and romanian dead lifts etc (working your hamstrings can help give your booty a shelf effect)
Genetics play a big part. Other than that, eat more and do embiggening exercises
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Since a bunch of other people were saying it, I'm 8 months hrt, a little over two years since I accepted I am trans.
I can't really complain about what hrt has done so far but I definitely need my tits to keep growing for a while longer... really glad at the body hair reduction though I got super lucky, shaved like 5 days ago and its still basically nothing. Wish E did more but for what it does I've been doing okay I think. Need more tits.
Congrats eggnog!
Thank you
Gay month!!!!!!!!
::: spoiler Medical I had to go to a sexual health clinic for some matter, and ended up having to mention I was trans. And it was perfectly fine!? It was a clinic oriented towards LGBT+ people but Medical places generally make me uncomfortable (recent news doesn't help). They gave me some info for injections and also mentioned that if I ever have lumps developing around my breasts that don't feel normal I should get them checked there. Anyone heard of this/know more about this? :::
What recent news, did I miss something or just generally?
::: spoiler Transphobia The EHRC guidance change in the UK that may be implemented.
link from a comment from a news mega about it. :::
::: spoiler spoiler Ooh I didn't see this. Hate when stuff gets buried in the news mega.
That's awful, national bathroom ban is something I doom about bad. Can't even exist in peace. :::
I hear so many trans girls complain about their experiences with providers but I've had mostly good luck with that. My previous provider retired recently so I saw a new one for the first time today. I braced myself a little since it's always hard going in without knowing what to expect, but he turned out to be really good. Some highlights:
- Approved of me stopping spiro on my own when I switched to injections, said that I didn't need it and spiro is a terrible drug
- Said to just let him know if I break a vial or whatever and he'd order another, no questions
- Told me he likes to keep track of overall health because it's sometimes neglected with other trans providers
- Just seemed to give a shit about trans patients as a whole
Well that's good news! I hope this becomes more common in the future.
Really weird that I'm trans
I don't have anything to post about my little transgender life though. Started my summer job today and it's very chill. There's also a guy here who might be gay? Has gay vibes.
But it definitely is weird that I'm trans
Today is the 2nd anniversary of deciding to transition!! In 2 weeks will be my 2nd HRT anniversary. Thanks to all the DIY suppliers for making it quick and painless to get started.
It’s one and a half years since I started hrt now. My tits continue to fill in, I have an actual cute butt thats way better than the Hank hill man ass I had, my face looks so much softer and more feminine. I’m so excited for the changes to keep coming. HRT is amazing.
I'm really going crazy atp.
::: spoiler spoiler
- Chronic headaches that last for days (multiple)
- Talk to imaginary figures in my head
- Constantly repeat the same phrases in my head about content warning and "it's my fault". These phrases take over my brain.
- Genuinely have a mini-breakdown every time I see a girl
- I really really really don't want help or medical attention or even to help myself anymore. I'm sick of it all.
- Genuinely loosing ability to be functional or responsible. It's a huge problem.
:::
I have concluded that I am in fact non-binary. I feel happy the way I am (e.g. long hair but wearing formal male clothing) and don't feel the need to transition into being a female. With that being said, I do not feel like a man and do not want to have to live up to toxic masculinity.
Anyways, happy pride month!
I've been experimenting with both she/her and they/them pronouns. I think I'm fine with using both.
congrats on figuring yourself out!
Thank you!
The area code for your phone number is 612
You are now doxxed
Close! My area code also has three digits.
I am extremely bored at work, but can't think of anything to post.
I put the demon in pride month
Oh shit it is pride month. I was so confused ....
Was helping my sister move yesterday (went from 11am to 10:30pm, I'm a walking corpse today) and when my dad and I were at her new place to unload we met the neighbors, straight couple and their 2 kids. My dad introduced himself as my sister's dad of course, and then the mom looked and me and went "are you [sister]?" before thinking the better of it after a second and saying "no, you're not [sister]".
Wasn't wearing makeup or anything flattering so maybe we take that as a partial dub?
That’s an unequivocal dub
I was a little put out by how quick she was to dismiss the idea of me being my sister... But beggars can't be choosers I guess
That’s totally fair actually. I just thought the unexpectedness was nice as well
Weekend yap again because I’m vain. This shit feels like a turning point for me. On Saturday I got a bunch of fundamental clothing (shorts, shirts, skirts, dress () and on Sunday I went to a queer trans event in someone’s backyard in a fem fit for the first time publicly. Displacing my old wardrobe feels good, being somewhere where I’m taken at face value rather than interrogated and put under a microscope feels better. It’s kinda solidifying my thoughts of coming out at work, at least I’ll be able to make my coworkers embarassed when they call me sir by having prominent tits rather than rocking a hoodie or long sleeve when it’s 90 degrees out
I also got a tattoo and was bitten by the bug, now I want to fill up a lot more space on the canvas :)
down with cis
Down with cis!
Down with cis!
crashed out hard in my trans group's discord at the weekend and i'm so ashamed. may the bourgeoisie perish in minecraft.
trying to book some more laser over email. the clinic replied asking for my email address (?) and then again to ask if i'm an employee of their company because apparently me using theircompanyname@mydomain.tld to interact with them is extremely confusing
Happy pride month! Laws no longer apply to us this month
Up with trans!!!
Up With Trans!!!!
Up with trans!
Congrats on two years :cat-trans:
Congratulations gay Tucker Carlson! Woohoooooooo (and also I guess it’s pride or whatever)
Peanutbuttercupola
I will not be throwing my hole digging contractor down the hole. It's rude.
Just dig the hole, hole digger
What comes out of the hole, must go back in the hole. It's hole science.
congratulations on your tranniversary, tucker carlson. i hope you got a good stat boost.
my friend (afab) is questioning their gender and asked me for any resources to share. does anyone have cool recommendations? or just like queer / gender theory 101? i also made a post asking the question https://hexbear.net/post/8654119
Not what you're looking for, but I think exploring if you'd like to be on hrt is a more important question, and if you do look at the effects and it's for you I feel like that tells you a lot about your gender. In the beginning I was so dysphoric and everything was so new, I couldn't sus out if I was NB or a woman or what but I knew I wanted E, didn't want to age on T, and I think that helped me more then endlessly pondering if I was NB/agender/binary. And obviously if you do want hrt, the earlier the better. But that's just me.
Not meaning to sound dramatic but the Gender Accelerationist Manifesto changed my life for the better: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/vikky-storm-the-gender-accelerationist-manifesto
yeah i have that link bookmarked, but was thinking its a bit too intense for newbies. it leans a lot on jargon
that was a really good read. thanks for sharing it
Happy pride and death to america and england
2 years on HRT
I love that for you, congratulations
It's pretty fucked up that they make trans people pay taxes.
Like not even a joke. No healthcare, no protections, etc. should get to be exempt.
HAPPY TRANNIVERSARY!!!!
happy pride
ハッピー・プライド!!
Wow Manhunt is heavy, not complaining since thats why we wanted to read it in the first place but like all the descriptions of transphobia/transmisogyny cut so much deeper than the basic violence and SA we expect from this kinda book anyway (weve read worse on that front, frankly, but this one still hits harder than those did)
Its really hard to recommend, but I do genuinely like it and Im glad I read it. Theres parts I still cry about when I think about it. I lent my copy to my mom and told her that particular explicit and shocking SA part happens like once and if she wanted she could skip it and it wouldnt impact the story.
congrats on two years
