Hi everybody!
I'd originally planned on having a big effort post, but I've had some Bad Brain^TM^ the last couple weeks so that'll just have to wait until next time.
In the meantime, it's my 2 year HRT Anniversary! These past couple years have also been the first time I've really been in community with other trans folx; I've had so many breakthroughs and discoveries of myself that I don't think would have been possible without that and I can't be thankful enough.
I hope everybody has a lovely week!

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.

Some of my learners were complimenting my style, saying I always dress really well and fashionable. I told them:
"Every time I step outside, no matter what I wear, there are people who want to kill me for how I look. It might as well be a look to die for."
This is really close to my reasoning, I never leave the house without a good fit. Also is someone is staring at me? It's because my outfit is cool AF. Not because I'm trans.
Additionally it's defensive that I look richer and more important than I really am. Like if that's the line between harassing me that makes someone pause, I'll take it.
