I’d love to join too ! I don’t know any communities on Matrix, but if there’s none we can start one
Trans girl checking in! 🏳️⚧️ 😇
My week was emotional but good! I finally came out to my brother as trans. I was so scared for his reaction.
I prepared a letter, I read it out loud to him half crying and I noticed he had watery eyes too. When I finished reading he hugged me 🥰 and said he just want me to be happy and I felt soooo relieved. Afterwards I received a very thoughtful and supportive message from his gf, who I told him could tell too later. This helps me so much with accepting myself for who I am.
I also baked a cheese cake and some french pastries for an Easter brunch at my mom’s. The brunch was great!
I see it a bit differently. I think your role in life is whatever you define it to be. Whatever makes you happy.
Would you say any infertile woman is not a woman? Did they fail life because of it? Would you say people that don’t want children are neither men nor women? Is there a difference between being female and male? Sure! But not being able to bear a child doesn’t disqualify you as a woman. Gender is just a construct society made up.
It’s good to question your identity, so you can be who you truly are.
Edit: No reply.. I was hoping for a good discussion, but I guess that’s out of the question as you did reply with insensitive and superficial comments to others 🤷♀️ You can do better
Yay! Congratz Kaityy ! Welcomee 🥰
Zea couldn’t have said it better haha
For me it helps a lot to talk about it. About all of it really! About what bothers me, what gives me joy and anything in between.
I recently joined a group therapy while I wait for a specialist to talk to. I hesitated going to the group sessions, because it was scary to be so vulnerable to complete strangers, but I’m so glad I did it! It helps to see others struggle with similar stuff and hear how they deal with it. And everyone is so helpful and supportive! I love it 🥰
Woow! You look a-mazing, it’s really cute!
I had dinner with a couple of old close friends. I wasn’t ready to tell them about me yet. The whole dinner just felt weird not being able to talk about it.
I didn’t know how to act: myself or pretend and I felt a bit sick going back and forward between them. It was good to see my friends but the whole thing was just exhausting.
Thank youuu! Yes she’s truly amazing 😊 I’m baking her an apple pie this weekend as a little thank you for the happy moment and the dress ☺️
Hi probably Amber, congrats! Great name btw :) It’s great that you wrote all this down! Writing can really help processing all the things on your mind! At least it does for me. When I was exploring I started to write everything I wanted to in a diary and it can be such a relieve sometimes just to put all your thoughts on paper or your phone.
My advice as a freshly cracked egg: Take it a step at a time. Maybe create a little timeline: 1. Get a therapist 2. Research what to do about balding 3. make a plan to lose weight etc
Do one little scary thing at a time and repeat until it’s no longer scary.
The only way is forward; you can make new girly memories. I started to, consciously and unconsciously, mimic women around me. Just like a little girl would I suppose to learn how to be a woman.
Sorry if I have too much unwanted advice!
Know that you’re not alone & be kind to yourself ❤️
