My week was great! I took some sunset pictures with a friend and wore a dress I like, and made my first facebook post in over a year with them. My last post was from before my transition, so I was nervous that I'd get a lot of shock and negative reactions. It's Facebook, after all. However, everybody was SO kind and just had lovely things to say, and some people reached out to me in private to ask how they should refer to me. That made me happy
Wow, that was brave! Well done!
So far everyone I've come out to has been indifferent to supportive, but I guess it never gets easier... Still haven't dared to wear a dress in public though. I'm a bit jealous :P
recovering from surgery (not trans related sadly) which sucks, but at least get to stay home from school. got to spend a week in the hospital which sucked much worse. turns out bed actually sucks when you have to stay in it for 5 days straight.
in other news, 2 months hrt anniversary was 3 days ago. might start seeing some realllll changes soonish (other than the ones we've already experienced) so pretty happy about that :D things might actually start getting better hehe
edit: oh and we rewatched the entirety of she-ra and the princesses of power, it was as good as we remember it being (very) :3
Here's hoping <3
Oh hai ~
One month into DIY already, and I'm feeling pretty good, yay! Hopefully I can get a prescription soon. It's hard to measure the effects objectively, but I now get what people mean when they say not to carry stuff against your chest. Ouch. Don't know if it's the hormones or losing weight, but my reflection looks... different, somehow? Maybe I'm imagining it.
Plus I met up with a group of girl friends I haven't seen since before my egg crack, and they were very quick to welcome me to the E team :3
we recommend taking weekly pictures to compare to later! it's hard but it can be really helpful for seeing how far you've come during those dark moments. congratsssss!!
Lost power for 9 hours Friday, immediately after getting sat down to game after work, but otherwise great. The rain is very welcome as it last rained in checks notes July? Paid all my bills and only mostly broke till next paycheck.
