Just got asked if “that transgender stuff” is my mom’s fault by her. For context I came out as an IV drug addict and trans at the same time. She was more upset at being trans than me slamming heroin. Thankfully it was ten years ago. Still hurts.

I took in a trans girl who’s a refuge from Florida and now she’s sleeping on my couch. We’ve known each other for a while, so I told her she could stay because her other option was apparently living in her car in random northeastern cities. So far, we’ve gotten along really well, which is good cause I have a little 1 bedroom apartment. She’s been through a lot, and I’m not completely sure she’s ok, but she has made some progress with job interviews around here, so it seems like she’s trying to get established. I’m not really sure how she’s going to find another place to live tho, rent is so expensive and such.

On Sunday, I invited my other local trans friends (all two of them) over and we all made dinner together. It was honestly really wholesome and nice. I just want to have a bunch of trans friends and to feed them all tasty meals and take care of them.

Good news: got my hair cut in a way I generally like

Bad news: sometimes makes me look like Lord Farquaad

Worse news: the job I interviewed for (which precipitated the haircut in the first place) rejected me, although it remains unclear how much of that was due to my Farquaadity

I went to a small robotics tournament this weekend and was worried that making my robots pink, white, and blue with trans flags painted on them might have been a bad idea at such a STEMmy event, but I actually met a couple other really cool trans gals there and my bots got a lot of compliments! The whole community was actually super wholesome in general and there were a lot more women and families than I expected.

It’s also starting to get warmer here which is a real double edged sword. Winter means I get to bundle up and hide my dysphoria in oversized hoodies and overalls, but if I feel like dressing up cute I don’t have many options. Otoh when it’s warm I get to be adorable every day, but if my BDD decides to ruin my day I have nowhere to hide my grotesque body.

Being trans is weird.

made a whole 4 sandwiches and 5 little snack packs for me for work this week. this is gender affirming care :)

i know this reads like a shitpost but honestly it took me being nice to myself for the egg to crack after not doing it for over 2 decades. being nice to myself really is gender affirming care, dammit

The time has come.

down with cis

I apologize for being cringe on this forum before. I strive to be a better poster in the future.

Messed up my T injection so I had to use my back-up ampule. R.I.P.

Also first time going to a psych today. It went a lot better than I expected, probably going towards a legal ID change but I got prescribed Lexapro on first sitting and I am not sure whether I should take it.

[Logic: Heroic] SUCCESS: You live in a world of increasing mass surveillance, rapidly advancing face tracking technologies, in a visibly declining society in which the security state grows by the minute. Are you seriously about to voluntarily map out your own face in Faceapp just to see what a crude AI thinks is you but more femme?

Yes. Do it.

I have my first meeting with an endo today. Very nervous. Hope it goes well

what a happy surprise

ordered a bunch of clothes and accessories and other stuff for my partner and I through ali express. order sat never sent then auto canceled after 14 days. got my $ back a few days ago

then there’s this huge bag of stuff sitting on my porch yesterday. somebody fucked something up lol but hey it makes up for the time a different ali package got stuck at the post office and sent back automatically with no refund so i don’t feel bad
