Trans Megathread for the Week of 6/17 - 6/23 PRIDE EDITION THREE
MORE PRIDE THAN EVER BEFOOOOOOORE
Just thinking today about how trans people have been more friendly and helpful to me than my own flesh and blood family has ever been. Imagine being a transphobe and punching down on people that have beautiful hearts. Couldn't be me (plus kill all transphobes).
I couldn't get a trans flag in my name, so I got five seven pronouns instead.
Pronoun maxxing.
This goes hard
I just realised I might be able to fit "any" in there too
Glad you made it to hexbear!
i feel like a she/they except that i actually don't like they/them pronouns and this will never make sense to the cishets
The cishets simply do not possess the range.
cishets fail the vibe check on this
Deep mood
The amount of people who told me I dont need to give people the option of 'they' was remarkable uncomfortable, in my experience if you give people the option they'll use binary pronouns anyway
and if you say 'any' theyll refer to you as cis more or less haha yes
yeag im definitely a girl thing
i know this is old news but she is SO precious to me
When I hit this scene in Paper Mario, it made me tear up a little.
Just celebrated 1 year on E last week by getting myself some beautiful boots and getting a bunch of (mostly) trans friends together for dinner. First time I have ever felt like I was part of a community. It made me so happy, yaβll.
I really love this. I never did any sort of celebration but it seems like such a good reason to get all the trans friends together.
I know it's a dead end but some days more than others I really resent that I wasnt just born a cis girl. Like I know I've felt this way for so long. Like since I was a kid. But it really does just kinda suck. I like being trans for sure though it's just.. it's so much work and I feel like I missed so much
Damn I feel this way all the time :meow-hug:
Voice training is killing me because I simultaneously know that it's like, the big thing that stops people from seeing me and also it feels so Impossible that I will never get there. Like, yes, my face is quite masculine, it's very angular and I have really strong features, but like I think my voice is really the thing that kills me. Ugh. But I feel like such a joke when I try girl voice
I can't wrap my mind around someone being wierd about a trans person being a lesbian. Like who wouldn't want to be femme and date femme people?? That seems natural to me. I can't understand why someone would want something else. So you like how women look but don't want to look that way yourself? Oookay.
What are the chances FromSoft is brave enough to make Miquella actually trans, instead doing the weird "trans in every way that matters, but not trans"-trope again?
Probably lower than 0
Been praying for them to try and redeem themselves since finding out about the St. Trina/Miquella connection.
I have very low hopes though.
If someone convinces them that it will spur outrage marketing from weirdos and increase sales, then maybe?
Or in 20 years when they re-make the game?
Might have been "yes ma'am'd" by someone for the first time since starting HRT? Funnily was someone whose known me since before I started. Pretty sure they were just used to reacting to my boss though. Also I didn't hear it, but just overheard someone else pointing out they said "yes ma'am". Anyways, all honorifics are all unwanted, so not something I'm exactly happy about. At least I don't think I've been "yes sir'd" this summer and only "mister'd" by like one person.

The Magic of 'Monesβ’
Took my first e shot saturday and I'm feeling great so far, though I do get that it will take awhile before I really start to notice anything. Next step is getting my body hair under control.
Iβm loving that people are able to start hrt with shots now.
It's very unlikely you'll feel anything for about 2 weeks, and even then it will be subtle. Emotional changes weren't really noticeable for me until about week 3
congrats on the e shots though :)
Even before the hormonal effects set in it feels so good just to do it β¨
It does!!! It was huge weight off my shoulders just admitting to myself who I really am and how I want to live my life going forward. The shot was my first concrete step in that direction, and so that by itself makes me extremely happy.
Pride coinciding with the southern hemisphere's darkest mouths means myself and everyone i care about is really going through it right now. Yay
So my visit went great. That clinic is incredible and the Dr was amazing. It was overwhelmingly queer hahaha. Several different pride flags were hug up, and the fence outside was painted in pride colors.
They also run a tight ship. Which was great since I was extremely anxious. I had to be buzzed in, they had a strict no phones out in the lobby policy, and I'm guessing the appointments are staggered because I didn't see any other patient there. Though I could hear other patients come and go from other exam rooms. They even had a separate, secluded parking area and entrance from the rest of the medical building complex thing they are attached too.
I did the usual front counter check in stuff, then I was immediately taken to an exam room to wait. All of the staff introduced themselves with pronouns, and they were so nice. All in all 10/10 worth the wait.
11/10 absolutely glad to hear
It was definitely for privacy and anonymity. The clinic is in a very conservative area in a very conservative Midwestern state. I live in a slightly less conservative Midwestern state but it's still not great. I could have tried to go somewhere locally, and I'm sure there is a GP that would prescribe hrt. But this clinic was rec'd by my therapist and I'm so glad I waited. First time I've been asked pronouns and she/her'd in person.
Big happy for you and big jealous!
Sounds like a lot of fun
That's really fucking cool. Seems like you found a great place.
It really was an amazing little clinic. The Dr was sooooo nice too. The entire staff was friendly and affirming as well.
wtf it happened again? Some guy at work called me "ma'am" before taking a closer look at my name tag. This is like 2 weeks after some other person had to ask my pronouns?. I guess I'm more androgynous than I thought? I've barely done anything to "transition" and I'm closeted at work, but apparently I'm making some subconscious progress?
Nice problem to have imo, lol
Damn almost like ur feminine or smth who woulda thought!!
I should post more often. I still have unbearable posting anxiety so maybe if I challenge myself to make one post a day here, I'll actually follow through. My therapist wants me to journal more and this counts, right?
In other news, I go to the HRT Dr in 48 hours. It's a bit of a drive from my house, but it's a trans/NB owned clinic that employs nothing but trans/NB people. It's taken 4 months to get an appointment, but the day is nearly here.
I always like seeing you post!
Stick around
I'm still around. I read everything, I'm just usually pretty anxious about posting. But I'm working through it.
You gotta POST
Damn I want that fucking clinic tho
I'm pretty lucky to have it. It's not exactly close, but it's better than any of the alternatives. It just takes a loooooong time to get an appointment since they are a pretty small clinic, and they vet their calls heavily. It took 3 months to get a response, and then another 6 weeks for the soonest appointment. But the wait is nearly over.
All my friends are complimenting how much I am improving at doing my makeup. Really feels affirming, as I only see what I can do better.
just got all my trans girl essentials in the mail: Skirt, panties, bralette, IPL, Julia Serrano literature, cute tank tops, the works
Good luck!
It may take you a minute to find the fashion that works for you, so don't get discouraged if you don't like something!
The day has finally arrived. I'll have to leave soon since it's almost two hours by car to get there. Even with the distance, I'm still incredibly grateful to hav a clinic like this close enough to drive to.
LFG!!
being trans feels like i'm the child in a divine custody battle between Mars and Venus
Athena can have me
Poetry in the megathread
wrapping my arms around venus's leg while shouting at mars "YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD"
I got my septum pierced it looks so cuteeeeee
Dongers out for the megathread

TRANGONDER FACTS: trans women's hair is not naturally blue, actually. if you see a trans woman with blue hair, it's actually colored from all of the blue E pills she's been taking
Another win for taking E
I bought a couple cute trans pride enamel pins to put in my hat. Also got a couple of demi/ace pride pins for my hubby as a surprise. I got my meds today as well.
Cis people who browse this mega "for fun"
We need you help
i have too much pride
when is shame month...
Might fuck around and go to pride for the first time this year
Me too! I hope you go and have a great time. :))
who the fuck invented body hair this stuff fucking sucks
Me when body hair on other women: They shouldn't need to shave, patriarchal beauty standards is not cool
Me when body hair on me: Get it off get it off get it off get it off
I hate it D:
It is honestly baffling to me that anyone likes or is even okay with it.
i feel like girl rotting today, which is weird because i never had the urge or feeling of doing that before starting HRT. progress I guess?
laugh at dorks in cybertrucks on the internet
dysphoria gone in like 10 minutes
wtf how did that work
Hello everyone!!! I hope everyone will have a great week, and a happy pride!!! Much love π₯°π₯°π₯°π³οΈββ§οΈπ³οΈββ§οΈπ³οΈββ§οΈπ₯°π₯°π₯°
shit i combusted in my magic flight launch box fuck
now i'm way higher than i planned to be because i had to ghost the smoke so it wouldn't stink up the whole stinkin' house and i'm reading hvac medical research papers about how odorant particles disperse based on room pressure. the taste of this pineapple hi-chew is making me feel like i've done dxm
anyway i was hiking the other day and came across these beetles i haven't seen before getting freaky on a reishi mushroom, which they also call hemlock varnish shelf around here. the dust on it is s p o r e s
looked up the beetles when i got home and get this: "pleasing fungus beetles." that's what they're called.
are you kidding me
who comes up with this stuff?
need to redistibute the stolen wealth of the global north like i need to redistribute this fat from my waist to my ass
Having incredible health anxiety. I unfortunately contracted symptomatic genital hpv, and I can't like relax or anything. I am deathly afraid of spreading it all over my body (I know this is unlikely). I am constantly convincing myself that I am getting warts here or there, it's really driving me insane :(. Now I'm convincing myself I am having a mouth herpes outbreak because my lip in one part is very very slightly red. I wish my brain wasn't like this. I wish I could just relax -.-
I struggled with health anxiety for years. It's so fucking hard, especially when the health issue is real.
I feel for you. Just try to keep doing what your doing and reminding yourself of the reality of the situation instead of the worst case scenario you keep replaying in your head. It's not real.
Went for a run and started weightlifting again today.
I started running a couple of weeks ago (doing Couch to 5k) and its actually disgusting how much better it makes me feel. I don't even have an excuse to slowly deliquesce on the couch anymore
Running is one of the great gifts of life
let's goooo
thanks for posting this, it reminded me to get off my ass and get back on the couch to 5k program i had abandoned for the zillionth time
Today I've been feeling... Different. That 1am near-crying thing... "yesterday" mustve done something
WHERE'S YOUR FUCKIN USERNAME TRANS FLAG, HUH? I wanna see that "technical debt" being paid off!!
My party got a table at the local non-corporate pride thing in our city, and I'm excited but also pretty worried. Last year one of the communist orgs got their table trashed by anarchists and the "anti-tankie" sentiment here can have real consequences. I hope me and my queer comrades bringing lots of water and vegan snacks appeases them.
I seem to have contracted the trans mind virus π you might need to get tested.
Hope everyone is positive
I can feel myself withering. I'm only like a month removed from heavy psychic damage due to [freakish queer book], and already I feel I will waste away if I do not engage in something fucking gay.
I snuck up on wifey and pulled her into a long, deep kiss, very nice. However I think I need to read some gay shit too...
Uhhhh I got it, I'm such a geniouse, I stared headlong into my ereader, and there it was: The Art of Growing by Jacqueline Ramsden, Lily Seabrooke's (demi)girlfriend. OF COURSE,
The way you keep mentioning this book and how it put you out of commission for a month is making it call to me like dark eldritch knowledge.
I wonder what it is and what horrors it holds
I have posted about it here before, by rights I didn't think it was that weird but it's one of those things.
