migrainesgot a migraine with no aura somehow and it fucking sucks even though i took my usual medication. different part of my head than usual hurts. I shouldnt be looking at screens because the light physically hurts me but sitting in the dark is so boring

[–] Carcharodonna@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

dysphoriaWhy do I simultaneously worry about never being able to fit perfectly into a binary gender ideal, while at the same time idolizing gender-blurring in others? I find androgyny in people so incredibly appealing and attractive. When I think about my voice, frame, etc. never being fem enough, however, it bothers me a little. Self-love and self-acceptance is hard.

It doesn't seem to be all to different from how cishet men might want to look more manly while thinking femininity is beautiful, or vice versa with cishet women.

[–] Carcharodonna@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm feeling exhausted and burned out. I feel like I need to let my emotions out somehow but can't, which is even more exhausting. I'm also getting a bad rash and my hands and arms which I think is stress related. I hate this but I'll get through it. I haven't been as active in the mega threads lately, but I hope everyone is doing ok. Hopefully after this week I'll have some downtime to chat in tracha and get my nerf blaster assembled.

Virtual hug! Hope you feel better catgirl-heart

Being trans still doesn't feel real even though I have to habitually wear bras to prevent my boobs from being annoying and can no long lie down on my chest.

I think it's just that I haven't made any real progress in the past few months. And even some of the progress I made (growing out my hair) was undone by my parents (forcing me to cut it).

But it's fine. At least taiwan is fun. Here, I can eat food without going into debt (this is not a joke. I'm actually in debt for my living expenses in europe).

[–] Wmill@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago

trying to get back into no-copyright with a little modded SA 2. I've 100% it before on the ps3 (decent port imo since it's basically the dreamcast version). Got the Windii retranslation, full story mode, general qol improvements and some chao garden modes. I wanna get 100% on steam but fuck me I don't wanna have to wait for days on end just to raise and breed the perfect chao again. I honestly prefer Adventure 1 more but already 100% that one and now doing this to just get the steam achievement and slowly get back into the storybook games again.

Cut my fucking finger nail shaving today.

Also love thought loops that are genuinely just true. Like sometimes a little bit exaggerated but overall pretty darn accurate. Fuck.

I still don't know what a lububu is and frankly I think it's funny people just be making up terms and pretending like they real

Long rant cw: dysphoria

spoilerSo I did order from dash and paid but since I don't think the person saw it , I don't have the vial. Feel awful about it, I did everything with the wise transfer , taking a while. Feel as though it's too late , it should've came earlier but it didn't and now everything fucking sucks

[–] Disaster_of_Passion@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

spoilerI've ordered from dash before and never had any trouble, but it does take awhile. I've had it take up to a week between when wise was saying my payment was delivered for them to acknowledge receipt. I think they've only got one person monitoring the email and emails seem to get lost pretty easily if they're not immediately addressed, so I'd keep emailing with your order details and the proof of transfer pdf from wise until they get back to you. I always get anxious with how long it takes too : /

[–] musicenjoyer@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

I ordered it June 24th , idk what's taking so long

I have no choice, I need to buy every isometric city builder game from the late 90s to mid 2000s. It's the only way

::: spoiler i dislike all the talk of community in my irl circles. Shit doesnt exist.

I would like to never be perceived again... I just... I do not want to ever do a social thing ever again. Im so tired of feeling completely alone and isolated even when surrounded by so-called community. There is no queer community, no trans community. Theres just a bunch of somewhat-overlapping social groups. And ya girl is not good at integrating/being part of them. Like, the message is clear: people do not want to talk to me. I dont understand why, and i try to be social, but god, i had two utter failures of social situations in as many days, and the common denomenator is me. Im not supposed to have friends or be included in social groups...

[–] 0x2640@hexbear.net 21 points 3 days ago

rant time :3

can people stop saying "protect trans youth" just to turn around and do everything in their power to exclude trans youth? trans youth have been having it worse and worse because there exists literally no community for trans youth, online or offline. treating youth like less than human and isolating them just leads to trauma, anxiety, depression, and normalizes oppression. its the part of the reason why things are so bad today. stop playing into a conservative narrative you KNOW is bullshit. when y'all get old and become unsuit for activism, there's a chance that there won't be anyone to replace you, because no one supported the next generation of queer people. how do you ever hope to band together if you actively exclude the new generation? if the very groups that they belong in don't actually want them until they're "old enough"? we need to remember that if we don't support the next generation, we're the ones to be erased from history, because the next gen are the people to hold the torch.

My wife is so spicy she pissed off the local character who sent us an angry message claiming that we hate women (shes a radfem.) I'm like "😩nooooo" but my wife is over here crying from laughter and plans to leave her on read.

[–] Mari@hexbear.net 11 points 3 days ago

spoilerI feel so lonely. I've ruined my only friendship and it feels impossible to make new ones that i won't also end up ruining. I thought that starting hrt would make my life better but nothing had changed, im still depressed and I'm even lonlier than i was before.

[–] segfault11@hexbear.net 15 points 3 days ago (2 children)

i think i’m transitioning into a child instead of a woman, one tsa guy asked if I was 18, and another asked if I was 13 🫠

[–] Carcharodonna@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Estrogen really is a youth elixir and this old grandma (me) feels like she's in her 20s again. I wonder if we could use this to our advantage, like, with mass trans-ing the aging techbros by convincing them that E is a "smart drug" and the latest in "anti-aging technology".

[–] segfault11@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago

microdosing estrogen to become a better programmer

[–] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I miss getting mistaken for a kid chomsky-yes-honey The estrogen is definitely doing something, though. People routinely think I'm like 10 years younger than I am.

[–] XiaCobolt@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago

The one upside of transitioning my 30s is the fat redistribution filling in my wrinkles is better than any Botox etc, I look much smoother,

[–] Wmill@hexbear.net 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Weekend coming gonna party with some tea, pancakes and idk might put an audiobook on comfy-cool while I won't be at the library I still wish to keep the library vibes going party-blob

[–] segfault11@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

heck yeag

what kinds of pancake toppings/fillings do you like?

[–] Wmill@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago

Don't got much on hand planning all from scratch, gonna try them with some plums as an experiment. Neighbor gave me a bunch and they getting squishy

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 10 points 3 days ago

Messaged my cousin two days ago- no word yet. Guessing she just doesn't check instagram much.

[–] Arahnya@hexbear.net 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Old men love it when I dress like a ghost wearing long grey pants, long sleeve grey shirt, and a giant black sun hat in the triple digit heat index.

[–] Arahnya@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I feel this interaction is subtly connected to my xenogender, so its kinda cool to be affirmed as such😎

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 13 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

mother I never reconciled with going into hospiceMom is in pretty late stage of cancer, gonna be seeing her later today.

I cut her out of my life years before her stroke and I'm worried she's not going to recognize me at all - we never really met up or talked after my transition. Still going, though. I figure there's no reason to hold a grudge here at the end when there isn't much time left. I'm going to need to deadname my way through this because there's no way she'll remember I changed my name.

This is gonna be tough. I don't owe her shit, but I think I owe this to myself. I'd definitely regret not trying.

updateSo, the visit was okay. She didn't believe I was who I said I was at first, but we got past that. We watched Tom and Jerry and I told her about my work. The visit was short because I had to go to work after

I'm going to see her again Sunday with my sister, probably for a longer time. I hope having someone else there will make it easier to keep conversation going.

[–] MusicOwl@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago

I was in a very similar situation with my mom last year. All the best to you comrade, you got this. rosa-salute

[–] DerEwigeAtheist@hexbear.net 14 points 3 days ago

I'm meeting with some other trans women for make-up practice this weekend. Quitting Germany really was the best decision. Kinda interesting how I mostly hang out with the other diy girlies. The ones with the diagnoses and endos and stuff just are not as interested.(and also tend to be libs, with some unpleasant opinions)

[–] Alisu@hexbear.net 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

5h of sleep is not okay. My eepy princess ass can't deal with this. And today I gotta go to the office

[–] Alisu@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago

Caffeine getting me through the day just fine. Hahahaha, this will definitely not make me feel horrible in a few hours

[–] sodium_nitride@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago

I had lots of fun today. Gotta to yell out "O chinchin ga daisuki" in the streets with a bunch of Japanese people (long story). There were Thai, Mexicans, Taiwanese and tons of people. We ate. We played this physical rhythm game thing. Then I went home.

It took me 5 minutes to become depressed again. Fuck this bullshit ass brain chemistry. I don't know and I don't care what mental pathologies I am suffering from. Just go away. Leave me alone.

I don't want to end on a negative note, so I will just say. I love my boobs. If I went back in time my younger self would be so freaked out. But "he" had dreams of being strapped into a machine and gender swapped. So I think "he" would come round.

[–] EstraDoll@hexbear.net 16 points 4 days ago (1 children)

i keep telling myself that they're not into me. that they don't see me as anything other than a friend. that this isn't a date and that i shouldn't get my hopes up. idk how much of this is just defense mechanism but... ugh. it's never worked out romantically for me and i've fucking tried more times than I can count

getting my hopes up feels nice but then i immediately get scared and press it back down again. saying this will fail and we'll only just be friends keeps me safe and dead inside. saying that this will go well and get you a partner just feels like football-lucy football-charlie-brown

[–] MusicOwl@hexbear.net 11 points 3 days ago

cuddle Hoping everything works out, comrade. rosa-salute

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

dysphoriaEepy so things are feeling a bit weirder then normal, god I wish I looked like a woman. fuckin- hair and voice and idk what else to change to be that way. I don't have much to say other then I really want it right now, not that I don't usually..

I feel sad, longing... envious

cuddle

spoilerWe're our own worst critics. People tell me I pass, I get she/her, I get ma'am in public. But when I look in the mirror I just see my dad's face. You have time for things to morph and meld when you get on HRT eventually too, eggnog. Voice will come if you train, its not easy to get past the hump of starting and shit but it will come.
