being disabled is Some Shit. i had two (2) things i needed to get done today & it took six (6) hours.
anyway. my partner & i have had to be figuring out a lot on our own regarding my condition, but the working theory now (as of last night) is androgene insensitivity. figuring out how & when to do the injections is gonna take some effort, but i'm optimistic that i'll eventually be able to function more reliably.
Hope you get it figured out! Good luck ~
So... pretty sure now I am a girl (~~still~~ not cis tho!). Started off thinking I'd stealth in boymode until I could make the switch, but I kind of want to tell the world and be recognized as at least trying to present fem. I think my sister-in-law knows: nobody has ever complimented my clothes before, and it made me so happy! (even though it was something I got from the men's department ages ago...)
Went into town to visit an LGBT support center and chat with some real-life trans people. At least I think they were; it didn't seem right to ask. I hope I can look that natural eventually.
Skinny fit jeans! They make my legs look great! Anyone have suggestions for tuck-friendly underwear?
Next step might be to start to do something about the beard. That's a bit scary though and I don't know if my hair color will work for laser anyway.
Entering week two of Covid, hooray 🙄
mortido rly bad due to the [hand motions at this instance]
One week to my first hormone therapy anniversary~
Had my doctor's visit on Monday and got my prescription for E ordered that same day. It should be arriving early next week. Am still nervous about it, but I think this will help me feel even more like me. And I'm excite to look and feel even prettier.
