Headbands and scrunchies are your friend!

confirm!

Also milestones worth celebrating (say, with a beer or smoothie or banana split):

• Hair in the eyes ✔️
• Hair in the mouth ✔️
• Hair down the throat ✔️
• Hair at the shoulders ✔️
• Using an entire Costco bottle of fancy conditioner every month ✔️

I guess I have to catch up with my celebrations, yeah!

I'd also add

• I am going to shower but I'm not washing my hear because it takes too much time to wash and then to dry!

Often, a lot of trans girls early in their journey of self ownership hesitate to use the label lesbian for themselves, because imposter syndrome is hard to overcome.

It truly is! Even though I know all this I still struggle telling girls that I'm lesbian. But when I do and they're understanding (99.9% of the time?) I feel happy and validated.

But nonetheless I still have my imposter syndrome :(

If needed I can provide proof of ownership of my reddit account in which I've been a somewhat active member of trans and lgbtqia+ communities :)

If my help is needed, I will do my best for this community

but you can’t figure out why

yeah that's the thing! I've always hated going to the beach since puberty (but went nonetheless) and I really didn't know why. Now I know and everything makes sense!

an upset expression from a 6'2" person is somewhat more affective

I giggled (and I'm sorry you hate your body, I understand your feelings, can't do much about it except offering you hugs ♥️)! I doubt that would work for me as I'm literally the opposite of a strong person sooo nobody would get scared lol 😂

for example? what would you say?

Side note, I'm reasonably sure this is why my cat at the time suddenly became more affectionate, he didn't really like men so when I stopped smelling like one he stopped perceiving me that way. This was well before any visible changes occurred.

wow this is really mind-blowing! and I'm super happy that your cat sees you as a woman ♥️ please tell your cat that alice said hi and cuddle them for me ♥️

Just in case, you know, a Witch happens to curse me and transform me into %(another gender)! I'm totally cis I swear!!!

I'm fine thank you for asking!

I've also had one of the best days of my life! I met other transgender young people and our respective parents and we spent a lot of time together sharing experiences and love and got to know each other better!

It was a lovely experience and I managed to cuddle with everyone (cuddling is my love language) and so I'm very happy and satisfied!

you could say that I'm living an emotional rollercoaster these days: I have supporting people around me and that makes things easier ♥️

How was your day?

that have been my experience all of my life since I started growing up... didn't realise until much much later (25+) that it was dysphoria!

I'm currently dealing with one of the worst dysphoria crisis I've ever experienced.

Hugs :)

I was very afraid of telling people my chosen name until I came out to two female friends of mine and the always introduce me as Alice and they love me very much and their friends as well.

Feeling loved as Alice was for me the "click" for internalising that "I really am Alice"

I am still scared to introduce myself as Alice because I don't pass very well and I don't want people asking me questions, but at least I'm now 100% that I'm Alice, a girl, and that I want people to refer to me using the feminine forms of my language :)

First of all: I don't know.

But here's my two hypothesis:

• girls can detect other girls by smell (pheromones or something like that?) and by taking HRT you start producing that same smell (unlikely, but funnier)
• girls (both cis and trans) use hygiene products that smell nicer (and "girlier"). Most shower products "for girls" smell like fruit or tea or something like that, while products "for boys" smell like car deodorant or chemicals.
