So, somewhat relevant anecdote: I cracked my egg at age 27-28ish with 2 kids. I had a lot of the same anxieties you’re describing here, which led me to try to repress for around 5 years before ultimately starting to transition at age 33 after my 3rd kid was born. It took almost ending myself twice to finally convince me that I really just had to do it. Because, even in the worst case, a trans mom is better than a dead dad for my kids every time. I’m now a year and a half into my transition and the only regret I have now is not starting sooner.

Where are all those “keep politics out of sports” mfs who were bitching about BLM in 2020?

In their minds, they’re on a divine mission from God to impose their religion on everyone else. Nothing is off limits when you’re being commanded to do it by God himself.

Ooh I actually know this one! That’s the logo for Tushy, a company that makes bidet attachments. I bought one in 2020 and this book comes in the box with it. Honestly one of the best purchases I ever made lol
As a complete idiot who uses arch on her main PC, I can attest that you don’t have to be particularly smart to use it.
Haha I had the same worries pre-hrt and now, seven months in, the changes just keep getting better! Hopefully your experience is as positive as mine has been!

This is my first time replying to one of these threads, but I’ve been doing fantastic!!! I have been experiencing what I would consider real “gender euphoria” for the first time in a big way! (after 6 months HRT lmao) It might not sound like much to some, but I have reached a point that I am feeling more confident with the idea of “coming out” to more people IRL, including my mom who I plan on coming out to next time I see her. I already came out to one coworker I particularly trust, and I finally changed my name and pronouns on discord, so some ppl that I’m not out to yet will see it. And my 2-year-old daughter has taken it upon herself to start calling me “Mommy Daddy” most of the time which feels super great. So yeah! Good vibes all around!
edit to add that I got invited to be a nonbinary friend’s “Them-maid” in their wedding, which is (1) my second time ever being invited to a wedding, (2) my first time ever being part of someone else’s wedding, and (3) probably the first and only time I’ll ever feel 100% comfortable wearing a dress in public.
1 is not a prime number. It would have to be 3+5
cori <3 (she/her)to Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•AI nowaday is like Bluetooth 20 years ago: they put it everywhere where it's almost never useful9·1 year agoYou are unfortunately wrong on this one. The term “AI” has been used to describe things other than AGI since basically the invention of computers that could solve problems. The people that complain about using “AI” to describe LLMs are actually the ones trying to change language.

cori <3 (she/her)to News@lemmy.world•Sen. Elizabeth Warren's bill would end trading in water futures26·1 year agoTrump’s first term resulted in abortion bans that are actively making women die. Next targets on the list will be banning birth control and GAHT. These will also cause people to die. That’s not to mention how much worse Trump’s positions are on Israel/Palestine and Russia/Ukraine. Is it worth it to you to stand by and watch innocent, marginalized people die in the name of your personal political ideals? Elections are about way more than the idiosyncrasies of the political process. Literal human lives are on the line.
New years day is always a holiday that doesn’t fall on any other day of the calendar. It’s just kind of its own thing. No idea how that would actually work irl but that is usually how this proposal is explained.
cori <3 (she/her)to Trans•What has been the greatest source of euphoria or affirmation through your transition?English13·1 year agoSo glad you’re enjoying it! You can have my facial hair too if you want… I have more than enough to go around and I want literally none of it hahaha
I don’t listen to much pure grindcore but deathgrind is my all time favorite! My heart beats in blast beats lmao. I highly recommend bands like Cattle Decapitation, Dying Fetus, Misery Index, Aborted, etc. if you can handle it.
I actually just thought the phrase “metric femboy” sounded funny. I could have probably used “metric catgirl” and it would have been more accurate.
Serious answer: Femboy is sort of an intermediate step of sorts for me bc I haven’t come out publicly yet. I definitely identify as trans though.
arch linux discord also has a perma rainbow logo, as well as a dedicated lgbtq channel and like probably 50% of us in there are trans
