Fuck you, I’m not waiting longer than I need to. I’m doing DIY if my therapist doesn’t write me the letter, I’m not finding another one and wasting more months talking about worthless feelings just so they can maybe write me a letter when I could’ve started DIY and began the journey already.

I’ve seen people talk shit and try and argue that detransition rates are higher than they really are. They’ve used that to justify long wait times for HRT and transitioning. I just didn’t want people to give me the speech about how the wait is to make me sure so I don’t regret it and detransition. I know that won’t happen because I desperately want the changes, my flat chest gives me immense dysphoria.

I have no idea why or if my therapist is gatekeeping me, it could just be that she hasn’t written the letter yet, but I for one am not willing to wait more months for her to do so. The sooner I start the better.

I was never able to get a girlfriend, so I decided to become the girlfriend (I still really wish I had a girlfriend ☹️).

Superglue is way worse than wheatpaste, if wheatpaste is hard to remove, superglue is impossible without causing extensive surface damage, especially on plastic surfaces.

Get a superglue bottle with a brush and coat the surface in that before putting the sticker on it. It’ll make it a pain to remove and basically impossible without surface damage.

Well at first I never really thought I was, I like all manners of masculine things like shooter games, sports, fixing cars, getting dirty. Things that are largely considered manly. However I did like to hang out with girls more often, like I felt more comfortable around them. I never really questioned that much it felt normal. But I met someone a few months back who was very much like me, we shared a lot of interests and even had a similar style and when I learned she’s transfem it made me seriously start questioning. So I decided to have a little experiment and I asked her to call me by she/her pronouns to see how it felt, and I loved it. It felt so right, so true. A bit later I started to realize that I felt incomplete, my flat and empty chest made me feel discomfort and sadness.

That’s how I knew without a doubt that I was transfem, and every piece of trans literature I read including Gender Dysphoria Bible just cemented that in further.

Speaking from experience as a trans woman myself, the best advice I can give is follow your heart and do what makes you happy. I’d recommend finding some local trans communities where you live, and also getting a gender affirming therapist to talk to, these things have been helpful to me.
