CW: transphobia

Hello lovely ladies and friends, because of my situation I am basically forced to not be able to transition in any realistic capacity for the foreseeable future. I’m not exactly closeted but I live with very religious family members that would for sure get rid of me if I did try to transition. They already tried when they found out looking through my laptop.

I’ve accepted myself almost 3 years ago now but it’s seeming more and more that she will never show herself. My current situation also prevents any odds of me moving out.

The only person I could be myself around irl we stopped talking due to issues and now I feel completely lost.

With that all said, what exactly can I do to let myself show as I so desperately want but cannot have?

    I don’t know if that helps you, but a tip for your laptop:

    Create a new partition and use VeraCrypt to encrypt it. Use a long, randomly generated password for it. It’s nearly impossible (read: for your family absolutely impossible) to crack and you can install a browser there and chat tools and save images and stuff like that. This might give you some privacy and help you to explore yourself.

    Sorry I can’t help on the actual topic, I found this thread on my frontpage and I don’t know how to deal with your actual situation, but I know things about computers and privacy.

      Thanks for this. I’ve been planning to do a battery and nvme swap in my laptop so I’ll add this to the list when I do that
