When you're taking pictures of yourself, don't use a mirror, it'll double the dirt and distort you. Just put your phone on a little tripod (very cheap) at waist level roughly 6 feet away, and use the self-timer. Try not to go any lower, that's how you look like a giant with a chin. Too high above you, and you can look like you have a massive had, and a small body.

Face the light source, not away from it, and diffuse lighting is generally better.

There's loads of posing guides out their, generally just try to get your whole body standing up. Maybe hit THE POSE.

Oops, forgot to hit post when I first finished, no matter.

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.

How convenient that while I'm in my misanthropy arc there's jackoffs on this site showing blatant disregard for trans youth getting healthcare, despite me explaining it to them.

Genuinely fuck cis people. Humanity is my fucking problem. People, even fucking here, even after I explain it don't give a shit. Fuck them.

The username is a dead giveaway with regards to how that person thinks about other people, but it kinda sticks in my mind how this flippancy manifests towards trans people and our struggles. Just sort of this very "everything is bad so get used to it" attitude, smh. i refuse to get used to it.

dating, dysphoria

Finally asked a girl out on a dating app for the first time, and she said yes. This is a very special moment for me because it shows how far I've come. Because of gender dysphoria I never initiated because I always felt like a creepy man doing that. I'm finally moving past that.

My hair loss reversed too! It's real!

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You need to have body fat % to have boobs, I just know sooo many rail thin trans women irl that have had the same complaints after years of HRT. Boobs are 80% body fat. You need the body fat to get it remodeled.

Anyway, 5 years later my boobs are still growing so its not like youre late or whatever.

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who commented on my recent losing-of-shit re: tiddy. I kinda just fucked off and disappeared for a handful of days, and I’m still kinda vibing my way through things, but I’m most likely gonna jump back on.

I think I’ve just got some lingering appearance brain worms where, like, every trans girl is cool and valid and pretty except me, who is clearly a stinky jackass and a poser and basically an ogre or at least some kind of minor sewer demon.

I finally got my birth certificate updated after a decade and a half of transitioning. The envelope was wet, like it'd been dropped in a puddle. After all the bureaucratic bullshit, familial abandonment, homelessness, discriminatory firing and unemployment. IDK man

[–] RION@hexbear.net 17 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (4 children)

Enby intern at work calling me "man" "guy" "boy" today like it's a competition to unwittingly misgender me. And I couldn't correct them because it wasn't in private and I didn't want other people hearing.

Usually I don't mind getting referred to as a man at work because only a few people know otherwise. But the fact that:

  • I've intentionally never referred to myself as a man with them
  • I've had no pronouns in my email signature and no name tag at all for months
  • we were having a conversation about a coworker who's recently come out as nonbinary and how the intern could just tell even beforehand
  • earlier I'd made a point about how I've been a fan of the singular they when you didn't know a person's gender since elementary (true story, kid me was based)
  • and, of course, they're nonbinary and should presumably know a thing or two about assumptions

Made it just very not good for me. I know it's not their fault and they almost certainly don't mean anything by it but still. I thought about it on the train ride home and then laid in bed and then did things to myself that would probably get this comment removed under the new rules.

I did call a friend which helped a little, she was quite supportive

cw not kink but kink adjacent i guess?ΒΉ Its my day tomorrow. I need to be kinder to myself. And treat myself well. And celebrate myself. So I got myself a chewtoy stimtoy, a pink bone that i can gnaw on. And a washable plushie with a squeaker in it. I jus wanna curl up and chew on a bone and squeaky my plushie, itll be cozy and perfect, and a good step toward learning to celebrate myself better

weed, mental healthBeen scared to try weed because for a while it could put me out of a job, but I just switched to a place that doesn't care. So I tried it last night. Wow. It felt like being a kid again. For a brief moment, I enjoyed my hobbies, found things funny, and generally "felt" again. I could tell it was wearing off when my smile faded away. Chronic depression sucks.

That gave me some hope that I can feel joy. I can be happy. Did some makeup (badly lol) today and that feeling of joy was there. I'll have to wipe it off soon, but oh my goodness, I see me in the mirror cat-trans

Woke up in the middle of the night and cried for an hour and a half.

Can't believe this is all I have going for me in my life. Just this stupid fucking job. No school, no other job, no plans, no SO or even really friends. Hope that I can get to a blue state and find a job and move out and start actually living.

Getting gender euphoria from being dressed like a punk and walking out in the rain. I don't know why, I've always felt happier when the weather is kind of bad. Maybe it's the same reason I love blasting music, it gives me something else to focus on. Wondering if anyone else has a similar experience?

[–] Bolshechick@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago

I got another compliment that acknowledged my trans-ness but like in positive way. I was attending my potential new work and someone introduced me to one of the other workers. They said something like "wow she's tall". And it's like I'm tall because I'm a trans woman, and it sometimes makes me feel bad, but here it felt really good, something about society and it's expectations etcs

I think its kind of cute when I'm talking about my problems and stressors to cis people, and they very empatheticly tell me they understand (in a, "I've been through that" kinda way), and then slightly correct themselves that "except for being trans, obviously".

[–] inTheShadowOf@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Underrated transitioning tip is have a hobby. There's so much down time after checking off certain things and simply waiting is misery fuel. Looking back over the last few years, it's the only thing that got me through some of the tougher days.

Tinder pisses me off. I asked this girl how she was and she responded 'good'. I then asked her what made her day so good, and then she replied with 'huh?'. Like it's not that hard to understand what I meant. She didn't say her 'day' was good, so maybe I shouldn't've said 'day' but still, it's not that hard to understand. So I responded with a question mark and whwn I looked back a couple hours later, she unmatched me. WTF

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 15 points 2 weeks ago

I despise the apps too lol, I gave it another shot. I dont like the number of matches and shit Im getting now (its too many) but the people I match with seem to have no personality and seem fundamentally uncurious about the world around them. Actually going on dates with these people was like pulling teeth... if Im not leading the conversation or asking questions theyre just sitting there like lumps - like you wanna see if I fit in your life, are you sure you dont wanna ask me about my family or life or career or goals or hobbies or lol. Cis men also suck hard, but its not like any other variety of human is any better.

Update: the mao mao cosplay I bought months ago and wore just now is one of the best things I've ever purchased. Even though I had to adjust the cosplay cause it doesn't actually fit me properly.

Dressing up like a medieval Chinese woman is a great confidence booster. I'd even be willing to go outside cause I'm gorgeous! But I need to actually learn how to do makeup (beyond slapping on some nail polish and lipstick).

And of course, this thing is not designed for the negative temperatures of Europe.

Brother apparently expressed my dislike of being called uncle to my parents and they've made an effort to be more careful with how they gender me! cat-trans

TBF, I still haven't expressed how I want to be gendered (except not wanting to be called Uncle, but that was months before coming out), so sorta my fault they're not sure how I'd like to be addressed.

emotional breakdown, maybe something resembling a panic attack idkI saw something on this site last night that kind of destroyed me. It triggered something within me that I don't think has ever happened before. I've obviously been sad and distraught before but this was something else. I couldn't breathe, form sentences, or really move any part of my body because I was so completely overwhelmed. Like my very core just ached. Pre-estrogen, the only time I could cry was when I was completely overwhelmed and it physically hurt to cry. What happened last night was somehow worse. I wasn't bawling. I was being torn apart from the inside out. And I wish I had words to describe what the fuck happened to me.

Yeah so I guess that's a content warning I need to respect the hell out of in the future and never go near.

Venting about adhd

spoilerI am genuinely so sick of having adhd. I have constant issues getting my medication (oh, you had to make an appointment for this refill! Oh, you have to wait a full fucking month to get a refill so you will inevitably miss days!), constantly lose all my shit, just lost my wallet with all my cash, my debit card, my ID, my social security number, AND my fucking passport because I’m moving and put the important shit in one place, vividly remember putting it in my bag, and it’s still lost, wtf is wrong w me, I’m constantly putting off assignments, I’ve had an essay due for days and I’m only halfway done and don’t have my Vyvanse right now and I just straight up don’t care and don’t want to do it.
