I haven't heard of a term for that en anglais, but I would call it "scooting in" ou simply just "launching."

I was about to comment this as well. I've always been kind of weak, but transitioning made me even more so and I quickly realized how easy it would be to get overpowered. Being around men definitely puts me on edge as well.
I'm Autistic and I struggle with driving too. There's too many things to pay attention to and it overwhelms my brain. It took me 5 tries to get my license. I genuinely would not drive if I didn't live in the US and had access to reliable public transport. I cope with this by being very cautious. I have a hard time determining speed and distance so sometimes I will sit at a stop sign for notably longer than I need to which upsets the people behind me but I think it's the only reason I haven't gotten in an accident yet. I hate how car brained people can be. There's nothing wrong with not being able to drive and lots of people in non-car brained countries who don't.
Yeah. I dual boot on an old laptop just in case I happen to need windows for something and sometimes the windows partition puts itself at the top of the boot order, but my Debian partition is still there and I just have to put it back at the top.
I made my own estrogen mod that doesn't have a dependency on create. It also has stuff for trans mascs and enbies as well. It's a little outdated though cause I've been busy with college and stuff but I'd like to update it at some point.
Thigh highs are actually a good idea for something to add though. I might actually do that when I get around to updating it.
Did Dominic date James pre-transition and then break up once he came out?
If so, he may have internalized homophobia and doesn't want to recognize that he dated a boy. He may want to think "James is actually a girl, so I am not gay" and that's why he deadnames and misgenders him.
If not, then I'm not sure why he thinks that way. If you want help explaining it to him, my experience as a trans woman is that I've always had a girl brain despite being amab. Yes, I used to present masculinely but I was still operating with a feminine brain. Swedish fish put into a sour patch kids box are still swedish fish even though the exterior packaging was incorrect, or in other words, my brain is and always has been a girl's brain despite being put into boy's packaging.
Also I appreciate you trying to increase others' understanding of trans people btw :)
I pretty much just sat at my desk, spaced out, and disassociated through most of grade school. In first grade I got detention for having a snowball fight, except I never did fight, and I was just picking up the snow to eat it (I was obsessed with eating snow as a kid). I was so confused and after that I felt like I couldn't play or engage with anything, so I began to disengage as well.
It's only recently that I've realized disassociating and disengaging have made me very lonely and are no longer helpful to me and I've started trying to put more effort into socializing, but I'm also not that great at it.
The sound it makes is exactly where the name comes from. Also there were people in soda territory also calling it pop as well way back in the day. That's why the term "soda pop" exists.
You can see a D.C. newspaper from the mid 1800s calling it pop in this wiki article.
Pedro's sister is trans and he seems to be quite supportive of her. It'd be weird for him to be lesbiphobic but not transphobic. I don't think I've ever even heard of someone that is.
I tend to miss things people say if all I have is their voice, so I am definitely better at reading. If I am focusing on comprehending them it reduces my ability to remember what they are telling me, so I too do much better with written instructions.
I took 5 years of French in highschool and I could understand my teacher just fine. Then when I graduated and wanted to continue learning French I would listen to French videos in the background, but I realized I was missing a lot of things, so I went to rewind the video, and then suddenly noticed it was so much easier for me to understand them if I could lip read.
Then I started to remember how when I was kid, and my parents would have me call a relative for whatever reason, and sometimes I would just hear garbled english, and I'd be so nervous and not know what to do, so I'd just say "yeah" and hope that sufficed. This still happens to me, although not as much, but it's caused me to become phobic of phone calls.
Now that I've realized how crucial lip reading is for me to understand speech, I now use only resources where I can actually see the person speaking if I want to practice that.
(Also subtitles are awesome.)

What has your experience with HRT been like? I think mine might have been abnormally fast but I'm not sure.
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
So I'm wondering if I might have klinefelter's (XXY chromosomes) or if I'm just very receptive to estrogen because the effects of HRT happened to me way faster than I've heard other people say it happened to them.
I've seen charts like these and I am a bit dubious of them because my timeline doesn't match up at all.
I don't know if my experience is actually normal or not, but when I started estrogen about a little over a year ago, it only took a few days for me to notice my skin being softer, and then literally the next day I woke up with breast buds and about 2 to 3 weeks later I had noticeable breasts that were big enough that it was difficult for me to boymode at work. I'm pretty sure I got to Tanner stage 3 in like half the time that's expected.
From what I've heard from others is that they didn't get breast buds until at least 3 months in and that made me question why mine happened so quickly.
I've also always been pathetically weak and it's also always been difficult for me to gain muscle. Which makes me think I had low testosterone even before I started spiro. I remember when I had my 3 month follow up, my t was at 89 ng/dL and I remember my doctor commenting that that was lower than he expected, although I have zero idea if that is actually lower than normal for 3 months on 100mg spiro.
I'm curious if any of you also experienced a similar timeline to me, or if your timeline fits the charts that I've seen. I know my timeline is quite fast and that it might be hard to believe (idk if my experience is normal or not), but I swear it is my genuine experience with HRT.
As of a few days ago, I am now 1 year on HRT! I typically don't like posting pictures of myself, but I also wanted to make a transition timeline and share my progress, so here it is lol.
Estrogen is amazing. I finally feel like my body is mine and something that I need and want to take care of. Sometimes, I randomly think about my gender and being a woman and it makes me so happy, but overall I don't really think about my gender as frequently as I used to years ago.
I also started progesterone last month and luckily I am one of the people that respond well to it. My overall mood has significantly improved since I started it, and it also helps me sleep a lot better. I am now waking up early in the morning feeling energized which is something I have not experienced in a very long time lol.
I've also been working on my voice as well. I did make a post here about 6 months ago where I asked for feedback on my voice (which was really breathy and did not sound good). I think I have improved quite a bit since then. I'd really appreciate your feedback on it if you would like to critique it.
