I’m sorry, Skye. That sounds horrible and I hope you get out asap. My parents simply refused to continue talking to me, which is fine since I moved out some 13 years ago at 18 (I’m 31).

It sounds like she has some attachment issues. Which sucks for you, and I wish it were better.

Your tattoo! Your outfit! Your … Gestures generally at you!

Adorable!

The solution to this is to run your agents on a server instead of your local machine

Yep, vibe coding is great for small personal one-offs and utilities in my experience, and that’s basically all I do with it.

Look at you! Whoa!

I’ve found that I swing wildly between “cuddly horny” where I want to be a gentle top to my spouse, to have slow gentle sex … And one brain cell in the back of my brain going “TOP ME TOP ME TOP ME TOP ME TOP ME TOP ME”

And yeah, in both cases it’s a very social feeling. It’s no longer “thinking with the wrong head”, where I feel like I’m being pulled around at the whims of my libido; Instead it’s like something in my brain is yearning for the touch of another.

I essentially have found that all flavors are more vibrant, more intense.

Sweet is sweeter, bitter is more bitter, salty is saltier … Flavors are just more.

I agree with the other comments about a belt of some kind! Looking great in it though for sure

You’ve reminded me that i should pick up some sundresses

Welcome, all of you. I think.

My wife is enby (genderqueer she/they) and had actually explored her gender for a few years before I did (though I didn’t know it was quite so far, I thought they were just trying out a new style), so my situation won’t mirror yours exactly or be super relatable. I first started questioning my gender in mid 2024. For the 3 years prior, I had been just saying I’m “gender non-conforming” and would wear stuff like skirts around the house and little decorations and clips and stuff in my hair. I basically just brought it up as “I’ve been questioning my gender.”

They said they knew for sure as soon as I started talking about questioning since I didn’t immediately have a solid answer. “I couldn’t be trans, right? Nah. I’m just a guy who likes feminine things… Right?” Apparently isn’t something cis men generally ask themselves.

So… She decided not to break the egg prime directive, and some two months later after getting sick of hearing me hem and haw about it, asked me if I wanted to try some things out. “How would you feel if I said you’re my wife?” … And my heart skipped a beat. Breath caught. I may have cried a little. They pulled me into their arms and have been my biggest supporter ever since.

I share that because I know I’m in a unique situation of being so very supported - but I know seeing hopeful and good stories can help others so I wanted to share.

My primary gaming machine is also my primary work machine because my job gave me a budget and told me to build whatever I needed.

I genuinely find myself sometimes pushing 45-50GB of usage but then I also run local LLM workloads (sometimes glm-4.7-flash for agent use, and our apps use LLMs for things like smart paste and title/tag generation).

I like to describe this as estrogen making the “make happy” button in my brain work. That’s excellent for you!

A perfect image to post to catbox

Joking: But why, is just a man’s chest

Serious: Yeah probably should be just because people seeing this over someone’s shoulder wouldn’t know or care of the difference

I did this for adding my subscriptions to Miniflux

I got lucky with this one. Started my transition at 5’10", HRT has made me 5’8".

Being trans isn’t about sexual orientation, and people can make their games about whatever they want. Let people enjoy things, it’s ok if it’s not for you.

Where is the meme?

It sounds like you’re holding yourself hostage a little, and might want to take a step back and a deep breath. Evaluate your situation and see whether so much preparation and planning is really necessary - or whether you can just pick a small group you know will be supportive to come out to first, and then maybe just live as yourself?

As for clothing being expensive: Thrift stores, thrift stores, thrift stores! I’ve built almost my entire wardrobe from thrifting and it’s been a delight to only spend $30-40 at a time for several different pieces.

Edit : this was supposed to be in response to the main thread but ohwell
