I'm trans/retiring this account

I don't really have a lot to say here. I'm trans now, I've been posting in the trans mega for a few weeks now, most of our trans userbase has probably noticed by now, but you probably wouldn't know if you didn't notice the pronoun change or looked at the trans mega, but yeah # I'm a girl now You don't have to make a new account to be trans on hexbear but honestly I felt like I wanted something else. Ho_Chi_Chungus is a good username (and no you can't have it if you want, sorry) but like, I really wanted an *unmistakably* trans femme username. This more than anything I'm feeling really hesitant about because it's comically over the top but uhh, yeah ::: spoiler Henceforth, I will be posting as... ![lenin-dont-laugh](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/c962df4e-bc50-4c04-9449-5f7d9bfc4d6d.png "emoji lenin-dont-laugh") ::: spoiler spoiler [@EstraDoll@hexbear.net](https://hexbear.net/u/EstraDoll) yeah it's corny as hell but fuck it, i like it ::: i don't really have anything else to say to be honest, other than I'm gonna keep all my old posts up because Biggs is there ![biggs](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/98515db9-d339-4d53-a768-59979e6eeb44.png "emoji biggs")

    that too is also a mood. I guess one of the "coming to terms with being trans" emotions in my head that I'm thinking is like, yeah you can think something is attractive on someone else but not you. Do I like facial hair? Yes, just not on me, please

    at this point I got to ask because I've had this comment stuck in my head all day, why would I be anything but excited? this is the first time in my life I've actually felt genuinely good about myself, I get to change myself into someone I actually want to be! I don't have to keep pretending like being cis is the only option in for me, I can do something else that I actually want to with my life. Is it weird that I feel excited about transitioning?

    I was talking to myself at work today like I've done for my entire life and I realized I had suddenly been talking in a femme voice??? I have done literally zero voice training what the actual fuck???

    I am still in shock about this. I've always talked to myself. Don't know why, just do, and I was doing it as I always was. While I was just talking to myself at work, I had to stop myself after a while. My voice was suddenly really light and pitched about 2-3 octaves up, and I have *zero* fucking idea where on earth it even came from. Does it pass? Does it even sound femme or just really high? I have zero fucking idea and I don't even care about that right now. My egg cracked like a fucking month ago and the closest thing to voice training I've ever done is watch 8 minutes of a basic ass tutorial that I didn't even follow the exercises for but now I have a distinctly femme voice I can suddenly switch to. I've been doing it for maybe an hour now and my throat hurts but holy shit what on earth is going on it's late o fuck right now i got to sleep on this

    What is the point of "The Prime Directive"?

    I believe I generally understand the concept of the (trans, not Star Trek) usage of "The Prime Directive" but as a cis person, I don't really seem to get why. If a person you know and are close to starts to act or talk in a way like they are possibly trans, why is it... not proper, for lack of a better term, to genuinely tell them "I think you might want to seriously explore these feelings"? It feels like you should? Like you should be reassuring to someone who feels like this?

    Sometime within the last 24 hours, my dear little Biggs passed peacefully in his sleep

    At the age of about 18 months, my little rodent went away quietly in his sleep, as I have now learned cleaning his enclosure this morning. I know hamsters have such tragically short lifespans, yet it never makes the pain of saying goodbye any easier I barely woke up an hour ago and don't really know what to say right now, but everyone here deserves to be in the know. You all have been so kind to Biggs and I. I only had him for a year and two whole days but they were special to me and special to a shocking amount of people on this website
