I forgot that it's my mega week so no big info dump this time. Instead I bring a question: how do you practice gender self-care? Do you have any activities or rituals that make you feel more comfortable in your gender? Painting my nails and taking care of my hair are the most consistent ones. These shouldn't even be considered gendered activities by society, but I missed out on having long hair and painted nails when I was younger because of my assigned gender, so doing them now feels validating and gives me confidence.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

Absolutely fascinated by older people (like 90 or more) who are completely chill about me being trans.
And I'm like are you really this cool? Or is this just so beyond your comprehension that I'm just a tall dame with a deep voice.
"If she says she's a dame then she's a dame", ime. The kind of gender policing we tend to take for granted had very different contours mid-century and before when anyone in their 90s today would be making up their minds on this stuff. Also, you're past 90, who gives a shit about gender? The nice lady with a lovely deep voice and I had a delightful conversation.
It's only in the late 1960s and beyond that the contemporary gender policing apparatus we live with now. it begins to become legible. IIRC passports and driver's licenses didn't even have a field for gender until the early 70s.
People from the silent generation being more accepting of trans people than boomers seems to be quite common. It should really be studied.
