I've been on HRT for over a year, and I feel so much better. I have ESP! (Estradiol Spironolactone Progesterone) 🥰️
I need bottom surgery. I think about it constantly. My recent meme on /traa expresses my emotional roller-coaster pretty well.
I went shopping with my mom, and someone asked "You ladies need help with anything?" 🥰️

I'm pretty sure she's talking about Information Security (IPSEC), Operation Security (OPSEC), and generally being privacy-conscious. So like, being careful about how much personal information you share, so as to protect against doxxing and other bad stuff.
Yay!! Thank you so much for this wonderful place!

Okay, so here is a running list of the recent transphobic trolls from lemmy.today
@DiscordMod1990yyyyx@lemmy.today@TiredOfWokeMods@lemmy.today@Hshsjsjsjjsnsnshs555@lemmy.today@VeganTomato@lemmy.today@Vegan2mato@lemmy.todayThere is definitely a problem of transphobic trolls coming from that instance.
I maybe got a little carried away in this comment.
What really pissed you off in a therapy session?
TL,DR: lack of privacy, security, communication, and respect
I'm not going to discuss the conservative "therapist" I had. I did eventually get an LGBTQ-friendly therapist.
I discovered that my therapist was typing up her notes on a Windows computer with a keylogger enabled by default, sending the data to Microsoft. The notes were also stored unencrypted on a server accessible by the entire IT department of the clinic.
She didn't understand the issue. This clearly voids patient-doctor confidentiality, and it destroyed my trust in the clinic.
I've experienced another issue while searching for a new therapist.
I found a therapist on the psychology today site that listed a full address. I showed up to make an appointment for a first session just to learn that she doesn't accept new clients without a phone call or email.
The only reason I had considered her was that she listed a full address, implying that phone and email weren't needed.
So I would recommend clearly communicating things like this, be privacy-conscious, and respect patient-doctor confidentiality. Without these fundamentals, there is no foundation of trust and respect.
What is the most important thing for me to try to understand?
I think the most important thing to understand for trans patients is that everyone's transition is unique, including the personal story.
So for instance, some trans girls/women say they were always a girl/woman, while others say they became a girl/woman.
It's important to listen and understand the individual and not get ahead of yourself.
I hope this is helpful, or at least interesting.
I can't seem to interact with any communities from that instance, so I can't report anything to their admins.
The eviltoast.org instance doesn't seem to have much local content, and a recent post asks:
Why has Lemmy.ml and feddit.UK defederated from eviltoast
My instance seems to have de-federated from it already as well.
The lemmy.today instance has more local content and engagement, but I can't seem to interact with its communities from my Mbin account. So I can't contact their admins and report issues.
Maybe the mod from Blahaj that removed their content can report the problem to their instance?
Description: clockwise-pointing curved arrows encircling an emoji gif that cycles through happy and unhappy faces, matching the outer circle of text boxes containing the following:
I love buying girl stuff!! Cute shoes, thigh highs, tops, skirts, short-shorts, dresses, bras, panties, I love shopping so much!!
Shopping feels so lonely. It’d be so much more fun to go shop with friends.
I want some girl friends!! We could go see movies, go shopping, go to clubs, chat about all the things, It would be so awesome!!
Life feels so very lonely. I don’t have any friends, no romantic relationship, and no idea how to even go out and find people.
I want a cute boyfriend!! I want him to **** me, **** me, **** my ****, ***** me, ***** me, ******* *** ****** me!!
My body feels so foreign. I deeply crave intimacy but my body feels wrong.
I want bottom surgery!! I wanna be smooth, flat, comfortable, and sexy! I want to feel complete! I want to have a vagina!!
Surgery feels so distant. I need to find a surgeon, get psychiatrist referral, laser is taking forever, and it’s all expensive.
I don't. 😩 I've had relationships before my egg cracked, but I've been alone for a while now. And being alone is lonely.
I've never been with a guy, but I really want a guy to do things to me. But I need bottom surgery to fulfill some of these desires. I made a related meme recently, but I've been too nervous to share it. Mentally, I just kinda feel like a mess.
Edit: finally posted the meme
Yeah, that's what I was saying on matrix is what concerns me. Like, I'm thinking I just want the most permanent removal possible. I'm such a perfectionist, and it causes bad thoughts to consider flaws and stuff. I really need to find a surgeon and go over this stuff. Also a therapist would probably help a lot right now..
