I AM MOVING FROM LEMMY.WORLD!!

It is my pleasure to announce that effective immediately, I am transitioning my account to lemmy.blahaj.zone! This has been a few months in the making, so my entire self is already onboard.

FAQ:
Why?
That's a complicated question with a long answer! The primary reason is ideological similarities between me and Ada's excellent team of admins. I am on good terms with Ada and her team, and have gotten her consent to do this.

How does this work?
Currently, as there is not an easy way to transfer an entire account (trust me, I checked), so I am logging out of the old account, and moving my focus to the hildegarde on lemmy.blahaj.zone. For you guys, functionally nothing has changed.

What about the posts?
Well, I tried to transfer them, but there was no real way to do so without absolutely destroying my brain's sanity. For this reason, I am simply ignoring the old account. Everything is staying up. Direct messages are still enabled, but I'm not going to read them or anything.

You have to do what you have to do to be safe. I understand. Take care of yourself. <3

Despite your real life circumstances, at least while you're here, the title of trans woman is yours if you choose to accept it.

If the effects of HRT sound magical to you, there's a reasonable probability you could be trans.

I spent years reading trans communities on the internet, out of interest, while assuming I wasn't trans myself. Now that I have started transitioning, my only regret is not starting sooner.

Thanks for sharing! If you ever do find yourself on a stage, do let me know.

I have experienced all of the emotional changes you describe. It turns out I was depressed the whole time and thought it was normal. I too was unaware of the general edge everything had.

My libido is also gone, but it was mostly an annoyance for me so no notes.

I'm definitely going to try cannabis again. It felt like a placebo honestly. Maybe it will be different now.

 

I have been on HRT for a little over two months. I am taking sprio and sublingual estradiol.

These treatments have pretty much cured my depression, but otherwise I feel pretty much the same. I kind of expected estrogen to feel actively different most of the time, but so far that doesn't seem to be the case.

However, today I felt my nerves for the first time on HRT, and it felt very different. I get stage fright on occasion. This time wasn't worse or anything, but it felt so very different. Like the nerves were in my body instead of my head.

Has anyone else had similar experiences with performance anxiety before and after HRT? I'd also love to know if are other experiences that feel distinctly different that I can look forward to.

Thx in advance. Love you all <3
