So I just came out to like a ton of family, and they are all taking it well which is very surprising to me.
Is it weird that I feel weird as hell? I've been thinking about this for like over a year and like, it's done, and a part of me is scared that I'm actually not trans, that I'm cis, and that I will have to go back... It's weird.
Like I've been doing this for a while now, really almost a year since I started socially transitioning.
8 months on E, I've never really felt better and like all my suicidal ideation issues are pretty much gone. I see myself for the most part. I am happy. Then why do I feel like I'm lying to myself? Why am I so scared that maybe I was all wrong? I don't wanna end my transition. But like I am so so so scared I'll be forced to for some reason... Idk this is a really confusing feeling
Today I went out for the first time in a while, just a quick run to pick up a Craigslist buy. The person who greeted me was so friendly, and complimented my outfit. Tomorrow my best friend (who is also trans) comes over, I'm super excited.
::: spoiler cw: transphobia, trans panic in the olympics feeling shitty about this most recent trans panic at the olympics. like goddamn there's no transwomen competing, but it's not enough. you have already pushed us into the fucking margins, but i guess you just have to push us right off the page to be happy. fucking phelps can be winning swimming while being a goddamn mutant, but a CIS woman having too much of the fucking satan hormone in her veins and everyone is crying about 🤯fairness🤯. im really tired :::
all the best to the two enbies and that one transman in there though. hope they win big and break chud brains
Sometimes I kinda miss the hopefulness and excitement of being early on hrt.
"I wonder how big my boobs will get."
"My skin so soft now~~~"
"Fat redistribution!"
Now it's like, I did it. My body did the hormone things. It's actually very cool and I'm mostly happy with my body most of the time (when I'm not dealing with Fun House Mirror Brainworms Disease) but it was really exciting when it was still happening. I miss that.
Estrogen is fucking rad. So cool hearing about y'all getting started.
Looking forward to the utter havoc and sheer hilarity that will be unleashed as a disability support case worker lady tries to parse a relationship involving two nonbinary lesbians.
I work 60 hours a week, it's too fucking much. This is only sustainable because I don't have pets, nevermind children, and I refuse to have an irl social life (I ain't missing much in this town, it's a whole thing don't worry about it). It's not even sustainable, I'm only doing this for 12 more months

i miss working in a restaurant kinda sometimes, my food bill was so low because i ate two of my three meals a day at work lol. but also don't miss the 14 hour days and constant stress lmao
i do miss the opportunity to experiment with food on someone else's budget for sure though. wish i'd made copies of all the recipes though, there were some good ones. at least i still have my desserts written somewhere
