    The P in JPEG stands for photographic so I guess we shall pronounce it “jayfeg” based on that logic.

    /s

    Descriptive linguistic opinion: both the hard and soft G pronunciations are used, with the hard G being more common, but I like the soft G and use it myself.







  • Transition is wild! I already had what I felt was a happy and fulfilling life, and transition just brings it all to a new level. I went full time just a couple weeks into HRT, and changed my online socials 4 months into HRT.

    I finished legal transition around that time, too.

    I started to be cis-passing around 6-7 months? Which is way earlier than I anticipated. I’m still getting used to that, but yes, it’s just been 100% positive.

    I’m also super lucky that my partner is bi (but more physically attracted to women; I am a trans woman). She was actually pretty excited about my transition from the beginning. She’s been suuuper supportive and very into the changes that have occured. I wish everyone could have a partner like her during their transition, she lifts me up when dysphoria drags me down.

    I’m curious what made your egg crack, and how it’s all going with HRT?

    It definitely morphs and changes over time.

    I used to never have any dysphoria from having a beard.

    Later, the slight hair growth I got in between laser sessions made me feel hopeless.

    Now, I don’t love my facial hair but also feel sort of good at being more visibly trans when my facial hair is having its bad/intense days.


    It’s also common for folks to not have genital dysphoria for a long time, only developing it years into transition when everything else is dealt with.

    I wonder if your brain is finally accepting that things will change and the impatience is manifesting as dysphoria.

    I hope it gets better soon!
