I love the outfit, but those shoes especially!

Men achieve erections while unconscious regularly. Its part of the sleep cycle. Regular maintainace, keeps things functional for when needed. That’s why morning wood is a thing.

HRT stopped this for me, which is wonderful. Having a massive erection ruins a girl’s day right from the very beginning.

Just tell her. Don’t overthink it. You don’t need to weave it gracefully into conversation. You don’t need to find the right moment. Since she’s out now, there was a point when she wasn’t. She’ll understand. You got this girl!

Yay! I happy for you congratulations!!!

handwriting envy…

You should find a healthier coping strategy. What exactly is driving you to go somewhere you know will make you feel worse?

I only go to reddit for content. Its works as a normie link aggravator. It also is good for finding local news and stories because Lemmy communities for individual cities are empty.

Admittedly I usually only go there after I’ve doomscrolled past everything new on lemmy. Not the most mentally healthy practice, but what you describe sounds worse.

Stop actively seeking out harm. You deserve better than to treat yourself this way.

❤️❤️❤️❤️ no advice only sympathy ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I know how it feels ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Because the purpose of a CEO is wealth transfer. Controlling the company is purely incidental.

oooh this looks awful

sorry

so says the lemmy world user

✨ yay! I’m so happy for you ✨ Estrogen!!!

But did they use galaxy 2’s orchestral fanfares in galaxy 1?

That’s the only thing I care about. It detracts so much from the experience to finish a level with a gorgeous orchestral soundtrack, only to be rewarded with blarpy midi celebrating your victory. That’s the most important thing.

Galaxy 1 has a new storybook chapter. Galaxy 2 has a storybook. It has a builtin soundtrack player. Those are the only new features of the release shown in the trailer.

This trailer is just about the things that were in the Wii originals, and has almost nothing to say about what’s changed with this release.

The pre-rendered opening cutscenes of galaxy 1 look like an upscale to my untrained eyes.

not well

I mostly waited until HRT to transition socially. I was presenting fem privately at home for quite some time before HRT. I took an approach of go fem with plausible deniability until the point I felt ready to start pursuing HRT. When I needed new clothes I would buy woman’s versions of the clothes I already wore. Nice button down shirt, but this has the buttons backwards. Not a detail anyone notices, but felt better.

The first time I went out wearing a dress was after about a month on HRT. Wasn’t really out, wanted to see if anyone would figure it out. It was very strange, I got so many compliments on my outfit, but not on the dress itself, just the other parts of the outfit. It was confusing.

I compared the text message conversations with my wife from the second month of HRT to the year before, and the difference was night and day. The first coworkers I came out to were those who noticed the change in mood and asked follow up questions.

I understand your concerns. Now is a dangerous time to be trans. But keep in mind, it’s also dangerous to have the wrong hormones.

I second dandelion’s stance on this. Start HRT as soon as possible. I didn’t start on HRT until my 30s and my only regret is not starting sooner. Do not delay.

The HRT did far more about my depression than my clothing.

What hair are you wanting to remove specifically? I don’t know much about hair removal options, and I’m interested to learn. And I think which hairs you’re trying to remove makes a difference. I reckon beard hair would be different from leg or chest hair.

I’m a she/her transfem and everything you describe feeling is something I’ve felt too. I don’t think gender feels like anything. The only thing that feels different for me since transitioning is that no longer feel chronically depressed. What does it feel like to be a man, or a woman? It kind of doesn’t.

Gender is complex, and we all have a complex relationship with it. We all have to account for our pasts. How any of us choose to label ourselves is fine and our own personal choice, but its also something that can change over time. Gender is a journey not a destination!

He/they transfems are probably a bit less common than she/her or she/they, though I’ve not seen the numbers for it. Regardless, as transfems we all have a lot in common. You’re one of us! <3

Its great that you are thinking about gender at your age. I had similar feelings when I was your age, but I didn’t know that being trans was an option, or that it was even something that could be helped.

From my understanding, doubt is a normal part of the trans experience. I have heard of trans people having occasional thoughts of doubt, at every stage of their transition.

Transition is the best treatment for gender dysphoria. If you feel less of it, doesn’t that mean its working?

Reach out to youth trans resources you have access to. HRT is more effective the sooner you start, so don’t delay. Work with those who have experience helping trans youth, on these feelings.
