Hai everybody! :3
We haven’t been around much lately, but we’ve missed you all <3
As much as we enjoy talking about electromagnetism and the like, we’re really feeling trans joy as the theme for this mega post. And we’d love to hear some of the things that have brought you all some joy lately (without doxxing yourselves of course).
Something that is bringing us a lot of joy right now is seeing the local trans community finding each other and making joy for ourselves. They’re planning events, going out, finding love and friendship, and refusing to allow our circumstances prevent us from enjoying life and having fun as much as possible. And we’re part of it! We’ve been doing the same! And it doesn’t just make this life tolerable in the face of all the bad stuff happening, it’s making this life beautiful and filled with love and happiness.
In order to try to get back in the habit of participating here, we’re going to try to at least post one bit of trans joy every day here this week.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It’s for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Hi. I am new here but my moment of joy recently was a few times this week I got compliments on my figure then asked for workout/diet advice by a few other women randomly. I have been weight lifting/contouring and eating healthy (%80 of the time) for nearly two years. A few months before I had been living in a women’s only house and for some reason a few suddenly were getting a bit touchy around me. I was getting concerned when the house mom told it was because they were competing with me. I already told my hubby I had started as an outsider then I became accepted. One day I became truly included. I was totally blind sided that a few successful women in my life suddenly saw me as competing with them. As a woman. I never dreamed of that level of affirmation. This week I had a small touch of that moment again.
Yay!!
Can I get the week of 4/20 to 4/26
nice
In many ways I have grown into the kind of person I needed in my life when I was at my lowest. I have been noticing this more and more often in the roles I play for the people in my life and it feels very, very good. That is my example of trans joy.
I feel like I’ve been losing my mind lately. I thought the days getting longer meant I wouldn’t feel like this. It is so hopeless and I hate life so much
I’m writing down the people that don’t send me a happy woman’s day as transphobes
Edit: I meant the people that know me personally IRL, but I appreciate it. Happy women’s day to all womenbies here!
Happy women’s day!
Happy women’s day
happy womens day
happy womens day
Happy women’s day
Happy Womens day!!
The mega thread this week has been so lovely! See you all tomorrow.
Happy international women’s day to all the cute women and femmes reading this!
You too
Happy women’s day to you too!
And you as well!!!
I can’t decide if I want a ‘working womens day’ or ‘womens day’, i think the former, I wanna say ‘well all women work’ but also I definitely met at least a few exceptions, how nice for them
Happy women’s day!!
Finally got myself a couple pairs of girl underwear! They feel nice, way nicer than guy boxers ever did
hoping my mom wont be weird about it >_<Yay!!!
can someone tell me something nice idk ive been having a rough months im tired of everything and sad
We walked outside today and we could smell every plant waking up! So many beautiful fragrances, idk if we’ve ever smelled them like this. I swear our nose has gotten more sensitive. I’m sure it helps that we’ve been practicing enjoying these moments. Like this really misty evening last week, that felt like walking around in a dream.
Sounds nice… I dont have a sense of smell so no clue how that is, wish outside wouldnt be hostile to me existing;-;
Well, I willingly and voluntarily came out to my work this past week for the first time. The only other time I was outed to people. It is a highly progressive company with a much larger proportion of LGBTQ+ people than the surrounding population distribution, but I was still relieved that they were mostly accepting. This has been a deeply healing experience for me and has been a beautiful learning experience. I have never felt more free or appreciated then when I see people choose to use my pronouns, then when I have MY name on my chest, then when I can finally live as myself.
I couldn’t have done it, well done
Being out at work has done wonders for my mental health - congrats! 🥰
Congrats!!
Happy international women’s day, please use it to bully a misogynist or two.
FROG ALERT!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colostethus
This genus of frogs are known coloquially as rocket frogs
, how coolUh … I think I should have chosen a different sub for this post …
no its very relevant, I want to see everyone doing cool stuff like finding frog signs 🐸
also rocket frogs 🥺 are so cool
I’d post more photos but I’m scared of being geolocated. Got tons of nice pics on my phone
nah you chose right
As time goes on, I question less whether I am a lesbian and more if I’m attracted to men at all. And it’s cause … faces. Hard to explain …
I can feel attracted to girl’s faces, but rarely to men’s faces, only to men’s bodies (unless they’re femboys or really handsome). It sounds objectifying, I know, which is why I question myself. Do I even feel attraction to men or is it just a desire to be gender affirmed by conforming to hetero normative expectations? It’s hard for me to tell, and hard to find out cause people are scary and I don’t like interacting with them.
I can feel attracted […] rarely to men’s faces, only to men’s bodies (unless they’re femboys or really handsome).
i don’t think people who aren’t attracted to men would say that sort of thing
you don’t have to be attracted to everyone of the gender(s) you’re attracted to, to say you’re attracted to those genders. or even the same person in different presentations.
or, undermining myself, labels are loose and lots of people round up to one that’s close enough because micro-labels can be like telling someone the postal code you’re from in another country.
Yeah …
I don’t get myself at all.
Stereotypical “orientation is just a phase” behaviour.
But maybe this is the “bi-cycle” of legend.
Everytime I type it makes me feel like I’m going insane.

If we are in the same country (humans) and give out city names? But then I don’t know which city I’m in, just lost in the woods and my phone battery is dead.
The only thing I can be sure of is that self-pathologising isn’t fucking working and idk how many years of wading through waiting lists and therapists I need before I can finally label myself for the grand prize of “you know what slur your friends can call you and which reddit sub to join”
Should I redact this comment or not? I don’t understand my own feelings at all and feel weird about calling myself a lesbian (not cause of internalize lesbophobia I assure you, I’d love to be a lesbian). It’s always like, I don’t get myself and my feelings on things fluctuates too wildly …
It would be really funny if I actually had DID and one of my personalities was lesbian and one was straight.
dysphoria mention
And it would also be terrifying cause what if I had a repressed personality that identified as male and I was giving him dysphoria by transitioning and so “I” would never feel comfortable in my own body and was cursed to eternal misery?
Awesome lesbian couple
Evil and intimidating horse
How hungry?
This hungry
The moment I saw this painting I knew I had to make this meme
weeks ago i managed to take two (2) days off for this weekend so i could have a 4-day weekend and rest a little bit. Now I’m sad and anxious, and very dysphoric, after i got insulted for silly shit. Long weekend ruined. Stuff hurts so much more when it’s from your own people, fuck me. I was starting to feel better about myself recently and now i’m back to feeling like a sad little boy being berated and trying to resolve family conflicts, emotional bullying just flashes me back to those days.
i hate the internet
Chat I introduced her all my plushies and she liked them, they liked her too
