How's your week been?
  • Had a funky experience that I've been over analysing, and could need an outside view on, not directly trans related.

    I was on the subway and kinda noticed this cool looking woman across from me. Lots of punk/queer vibes but who knows. Anyways, like any well behaved public transport user I keep my attention on my phone and music.

    But then the train accelerates and the older guy next to me tumbles into me and almost falls on the ground, so I catch him which probably looks odd. This is when I get that danger feeling that I'm being watched, and immediately find out more she is staring at me. So now i know she noticed me too. Anyways, well behaved public transit users etc. back to the phone.

    We then both exit the train, and when I get to the next transfer it turns out she's going in the same direction as me, so I place myself far away to not look like I'm following her.

    But while I stand there stupidly smiling at my music, she walks right up to me! Like, 20 cm away and does a sort of 270deg spin. At this point it feels more rude to not check wtf is going on, but she has her back at me so I just nervously board the train that arrived and get off at the next station.

    So, what could a less gtfo-like response have looked like? Obviously the subway isn't the place to meet new people, and I'm too depressed for that anyways, but that whole dance wasn't an ordinary subway interaction!

    Has anyone else done DIY-HRT, what are your experiences with DIY?
  • Started by going through the official system, went diy after they went from treating me bad to horrible. And it honestly gave me a lot of confidence to not feel like I depend on those assholes anymore, even if I go back later. It still broke me a bit that I no longer trust doctors.

    Maybe you can get a new assessment with a different doctor, if you still want that?

    I feel like a fraud because I am scared to take the DIY estrogen
  • If you can afford it, it sounds like going to a therapist to unravel your feelings and possible trauma could be worth it. A good one will not tell you if you are trans, just help you along the way. If you can't then some lgbt groups offer help to questioning people too.

    You don't have to rush it just because the vial might expire. Do it on your own time, experiment with other things (thought experiments, clothes...) if jumping to hormones is too much. Remember that it's not a magic juice that instantly turns you girly, you can always stop if you feel weird on it.

    Also, do you trust her this much? I'm a trans woman on DIY but I'm getting mine from a source I've seen other buy from and talk good about. You also need to spend some time researching doses and what blood tests to do first too.

  • How's your week been?
  • I (mtf) bought a couple of summer dresses online which is a huge step because I haven't allowed myself this kind of femininity yet, and now that they arrived I feel awesome instead of shameful!

    Now I just need to figure out if I actually like them and how well they fit, I'm kinda funny sized in a way most fem clothes are not intended...

  • How's your transition coming along?
  • Soon at 4 years of hrt and starting to feel a bit hopeless regarding how little it can change on my body.

    But I got myself some cool clothes and I'm pretty proud that I've been able to start voice training again after COVID ruined all the progress I made last time!

  • Who was your first?
  • Debian with kde, because it looked a bit like Windows.

    Then slackware because it was supposedly a "simple" Linux distro. Apparently simple doesn't mean simple to use for a newbie...

  • What's the story behind your egg cracking?
  • I thought r/suddenly_trans was a odd funny subreddit, and one day someone linked to egg_irl in the comments and guess that's how I finally understood what being trans could mean - that was a very long weekend with a lot of thinking about all the signs that I didn't see :D
