Now, if only I could focus on meditation for more than a minute or two.

That’s too damn bad!

Omega Mart?

I more or less perfected my femme voice 12 years prior to transition because of a female PC I made 😅

Okay, but why not just breed the almonds? /j

It took me a few months and I still hesitate when gendering myself sometimes, but it’s hesitation now, not correction. It helps that I’m out full-time now, though and have been for over a month. You’ll get there, girl. Just be kind to yourself.

You fool! Now that I have your auth code, I’m gonna steal all of your internets!

What the actual fuck

Functionally useless. With the web standardized, we shouldn’t need user agents anyway. It would be more beneficial to ask “do you support X, Y, and Z?”

I struggled with disordered eating before HRT. A few weeks in, another trans girl explained to me that the body needs energy to do its thing. It’s basically second puberty and you know how much teenagers eat.

I was like you, being able to eat a couple of meals and be satisfied. Now, I snack more. I also eat smaller meals as it takes less to fill me up. I’m also ~6 months on E, so I’ve lost some muscle mass. Despite my new eating habits, I’ve been able to maintain around 70kg at 180cm tall. Meanwhile, my body’s been burning the fat buildup from T and packing it onto my butt, thighs, and chest.

If you want my two cents, try snacking more and just eat when you’re hungry. You don’t have to eat until you’re full, just until you’re not uncomfortable anymore. Trust the process and let your body do what it needs to do.

If you start going in a direction you don’t like, you can stop. You might also consult your doctor for advice

Congrats on the self-confidence, my dude! I still fret about my appearance from time to time, but y’know? Yeah, kinda, I know what you mean. Do you smile more? Because happy looking people look more attractive and that might be making you like your photos more.

“1” + “1”

Maybe sudo apt upgrade package-name

I hardly ever have to upgrade just one package. Otherwise, you’ll need an updated .deb package and use dpkg

Before I knew it was dysphoria? Dissociate by daydreaming and doing anything to shift my attention away from it. Now that I know it’s dysphoria? Like any other kind of anxiety: acknowledge it, label it, breathe, check in with yourself, change what you can right now, and plan to change what you can’t.

The closer I get to my HRT intake appointment, the more I’ve started to notice my negative thoughts and feelings, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and when I look ahead, I feel invigorated. The road is long and filled with obstacles, but all the signs say I’m on the right track.

I had a similar realization. I found a moment of clarity and realized that I have the power to change my fate and I am the one who controls me. I should pursue happiness for myself and nobody else. If it’s a problem for anyone else, they’ve made it their problem, not me. I get to be selfish about this and so do you. Go get it, friend. You’re walking this path with millions of your own cousins.

Heads up for anyone using Spotify Premium: the audiobook is included in your subscription. I’m tight for cash and basically only consume books in audio form, so if you already subscribe to the service, you might as well take advantage of it.

Not will it ever have an original thought

Well, it was trained on English sources

Sorry, friend, but I need a dream to chase
