I’ll check it out! Even without being federated, it’s good to have a discord alternative. Matrix hasn’t been what I need yet, unfortunately.

Oh no there’s a label with plenty of info, just no brands that I recognize. Here’s what it looks like, with anything specific to me or my area obscured.

Ope, I couldn’t say for sure. The brand isn’t on my prescription bottle as far as I can tell :/

Lots of great responses! My E is from Estradiol, if that helps.

Fuck you I won’t do what you tell me

Advice about HRT: physical changes happen very slowly. Mental effects happen much quicker. You can start it and see if it helps you feel more comfortable (happened within days for me) and stop if it isn’t good for you.
In the event that it is something you want, you will be happy that you started it earlier rather than later.

Edit: to be clear when I say “very slowly” for physical changes, I mean months. Do what you need to do if being visibly trans isn’t feasible within the next year.

I’ve been very happy with my Deathadder, been using it for almost a year now.

First week of hrt has done wonders for my mental health, and removed any lingering doubts I hadn’t been able to shake yet.

In other news, started a new campaign with my rpg group using Masks: A New Generation. It is a blast, and I highly recommend it.

The right answer is whatever feels correct to you.

Personally, I have thought of it like a scale from 0:1, with all the possibilities between them being trans and the endpoints being the two binary genders. However, the more gender theory you read, the less helpful that seems.

I started HRT yesterday! Been in a fantastic mood all weekend, which is a nice change.

I am seeing my new doctor tomorrow to start HRT!

Love that you are able to have the small win of existing as a woman here, congrats! I am in a similar demographic to you, but with fewer children.

I came out to my wife in February last year, and it was one of the scariest things I’ve ever done. We are still together, love each other more than the day we were married, and I am seeing a doctor on Tuesday about starting HRT. Obviously I don’t know how things would go with your spouse, but I hope they would at least be sympathetic to what you’re dealing with and be open to talking more with you.

It’s okay to take things slow, you don’t need to rush anything. I wish I had started transitioning 10+ years ago, but I am so thankful for the family and life I have that allows me to do so today.

Keep asking questions, keep being open to learning new things about yourself, and don’t settle for a new box for people to put you in if it isn’t quite right for you.

Their SpaceX capsule parachuted into the Gulf of Mexico in the early evening, just hours after departing the International Space Station.

I agree, but that’s not happening here. AP was even barred from the white house over refusing to call it the GoA.

My HRT appointment is scheduled for next week!

I’m sorry you had that experience. Personally I didn’t think Dread’s bosses or levels were significantly harder than classic entries in the series, and some are straight up cake-walks once you know the patterns.

Regarding the instant death, it really didn’t bother me. In the older games, you would find hazardous rooms that you couldn’t progress through without a suit upgrade. The rooms with the E.M.M.I function the same way, except you get to interact with them instead of just turning around to explore elsewhere. They enhanced my fun with the game.

I’m glad Dread was generally well-received, but I guess it would be nice if they made an assist mode for people who just want the story, and the dopamine from killing a boss without having to try multiple times.

Wait, what in Dread was like Dark Souls that wasn’t already in classic Metroid games?

Mailed my in-patient documents to the closest LGBTQ+ affirming doctor. (about 30 minutes from me) They will call me to schedule my hrt consultation once they receive it!

If my grandma had wheels she’d be a bike

Concluded a 2 year long D&D campaign today with a level 20 finale. Thankful to have people in my life who love and accept me enough to choose to listen to me talk for 5 hours on a Sunday 🥴
