It's a progesterin, a variant of the same chemical.(I think)

it's still 700 comments by tuesday. That's more than we got in a week a few weeks back. It's still so big to me. My "normal" was anchored at like 400 comments a week.

almost happy that the abysmal availability here has made that decision for me. No way to get anywhere means no energy has to be put into it.

What is the current state of the diy electro kit? The post isn't pinned anymore. It is a really cool project.

Arranged a consultation for facial hair removal, because right now I have money I can spend, and I don't know when that'll next be the case. The provider also explicitly talks about trans women on their website, so I hope that they will be good. I really fucking hate my facial hair and beard shadow, glad to hopefully see it gone soon.

You could look into what kind of caps exist, you are certainly not the only curly haired person with very long hair.

Looked it up, jumbo nightcaps exist.

About the tangles: I always brush in the shower with conditioner in my hair, never dry, because it would be very annoying and painful, because of tangles. Thanks to my hairtype you don't see them anyway, so I don't need to wash everyday.

Being trans is really nice, I don't get all that anxiety over egg-jokes. So weird.

If you tie them up, in a braid, or bun overnight they keep longer. Sleeping cap is the ideal solution, but requires a sleeping cap. Just don't sleep with open hair.

I also like putting some oil into them overnight, but ymmv.

Yeah, I'll treat it like voice training. Do at least a little bit every day

Tried out eyeliner for the first time, I liked it, but I really need some practice. Probably gonna apply some each evening before I wash my face. If I had the space for it, I would like to start practicing makeup in general. A good skill to have for a trans girl.

Unlucky, being trans is great. Boss should be thankful for the opportunity.

Very happy that it works and that you like it!

Dysphoria and shitty flatmates ::: spoiler spoiler This evening is a queer meet-up, but I am feeling dysphoric, don't know if I'll go. I know self isolation is bad, maybe I'll feel different after the shower and a second shave.

Also I am so happy I'll leave my flatmate behind in a week, she yesterday implied that my lack of attachment to this shitty flat is, cause of my "male socialisation", or what she actually said: cause I am "mannish". She had an almost nervous breakdown over an electric kettle once, in comparison to that, I am the buddah. :::

My mother is finally gendering me correctly, she has been really supportive(even if she is really gnc, so she doesn't really get feminity I think), but that was something she had her problems with

I remember it being a really big deal when we got a thousand comments back in June(a month ago). Now that is just tuesday

There's all the chapters here, also had problems back then.

People here just have a better understanding of "things", even withoit explicitly reading queer theory. The transphobic/transmisogynistic discussions don't happen, cause people here understand how inane and stupid they are.

Like the fucking egg discourse, everyone here would laugh those clowns out of town, and not give them the time of day. noone here cares for the plight of the femboy, and rightly so. It's obvious wrecker shit.

Yeah, I learned a lot about transmisogyny the last few weeks.

I really underestimated how transfemmes are treated on the broader internet. I came to understand myself here, and kinda assumed that this place is representative.

With it's acceptance and large presence of trans feminine people, and lack of inane bullshit, but actually this seems to be the exception (apart from like small discord servers).

This is a really good place and much more exceptional in it's protection of trans people than I thought.

Her tale of Shim Chong is amazing. A feminist GL manwha set in pre-modern korea(not familiar with korean historical periods sadly). It is also finished.

Objectively correct

I went to a barber. Was in the middle east.

It is funny, but sadly people are attacking trans women over that.

The best shave I ever got was with a straight razor, should really get one.

Sometimes I go on trans spaces on tumblr, and there is so much bullshit and wreckers and stuff there. I didn't know how good we have it here.

The "discourse" currently is about how egg jokes are harmful to gnc men, and don't respect their identities.

Sorry, not Sorry. Happy that I could share the experience.

It has a very similar effect on me. Since I read it, I actually started doing a light skincare routine. And putting effort in my outfits.

I did feel like some kinda detective halfway through.

apparently the local lesbian and gay organisations are full of conservative boomers. Which is also a vibe. My guess is that the entire lgbt+ youth is organised in these loose groups.

I managed to meet some local trans-ppl. I just had to go to one event, talk to the guy who seemed like an organizer, out myself to him. Get a number for a telegram account from him, write to that account and introduce myself,and then get invited to a weekly get together that's organized over whatsapp.

They were very nice, and I am happy I put in the effort. One is even looking for a roommate. One of the better things to happen to me recently.

Also: is that the normal ammount of effort required, or is this place just special?

I was(still am) also excited. I did a lot of research on face shapes and stuff, but in practice I just didn't think any looked good on me. So next time I'll take a friend who can give a second, more neutral opinion.

Tried buying new glasses today, and the store assistant, when I ask her for help, sends me to the mens section. I do not have new glasses.

Yeah, homelessnes is even less fun that transphobia, I think.

I hobestly didn't think that it would be that big of a problem, and I don't know, there is a fascist presence. I just wsnted to preempt having a horrible time with flatmates, by weeding morons out beforehand. I didn't expect that people were that averse to living with trans people. Like, it's half a paragraph.

It is almost impossible to find a place to live as a transwoman around here it seems. I write to the places that explicity advertise themselves as "LGBTQ+ friendly" and get consitently ghosted.

Before, when I was an Egg, I would always get replies, my message is the same,excwpt for half a paragraph about me being trans, that I added.

Maybe I will have to boymode to avoid homlessnes.

Yeah, and that can take years, it's a really big commitment.

Well, thanks to transfemschîence I know how to get my values up at least.

I kind of feel like dyed hair would be cool, but my hair is also something I put a lot of work in, and I don't want to replace my working haircare routine, or damage my hair.

Is 249 pmol/l estrogen a good value, or could it be a bit low? Before hrt I had 53 pmol/l, so at least it quintupled.
