Hii everyone!! I made a post about 3 months ago when I first joined on piefed.world. I’ve since been wanting to migrate over to blahaj.zone but been putting it off due to not being able to migrate my posts and comments. So anyway, here I am now on a new account and will stick with this one moving forward.

I’m Natalie, a 34yr old IT Consultant from Sydney Australia. If it wasn’t obvious by my pic, I’m male to female presenting, and not currently on HRT. I’m into Linuxy things (cliche I know), and Linux gaming a bit too, mainly CS2 and WoW. Also do a bit of gaming on my Switch, 2D and HD-2D JRPGs are my go to’s.

Hope you had/are having a lovely long weekend if you are getting one! Otherwise a lovely weekend ☺️

    hi and welcome - I think you made a good choice in terms of which instance to join, @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone is pretty amazing 💖

    I’m male to female presenting, and not currently on HRT

    you really don’t have to answer, but out of curiosity - were you on HRT before and you’re just temporarily not on estrogen, or are you early in transition and plan to start HRT soon? I wonder why not HRT, but also just generally what this means (e.g. you identify as “male-to-female presenting”, I like to know how people want me to think of them in my head, and you seem like a woman to me - but I wanted to be careful and not assume you straightforwardly identify as a woman because of the language you used).

    Anyway, I’m sorry if my question is inappropriate, so feel free to ignore it.

    Glad you are here, and this seems like a fairly perfect community for you - Piefed and Lemmy have a lot of nerdy people who are into Linux and gaming 😁

      Hii, definitely not inappropriate at all! I think it’s a very fair question considering what I wrote in the body of my post.

      I have never been on HRT, I’ve come very close a couple of times but never actually went ahead with it. The reasons behind this I’m not super comfortable going into online though.

      I put down “male to female presenting” as honestly I don’t even know what to label myself haha. I just think that this is the simplest way to describe me, I don’t mind whatever labels people want to associate me with from there. Although, I do go by She/Her, or They/Them.

      and you seem like a woman to me

      Well that’s my validation for the week already, haha thankyou!
