What does ‘enough :3’ even mean, doesn’t make sense??

I read the Wikipedia link above and decided idc ¯\(ツ)/¯

Sounds more like we pee from genitals and skin, with skin being higher priority.

An autological acronym even, I love it!

Oh god, I remember reading about roko’s basilisk years ago. Wondered if it’s actually a dangerous thought experiment and could seriously damage people.

Physically they may be okay, but they’ll probably have a really hard time socializing. The first ten weeks are so important to learn healthy behavior, hopefully there’s other cats in their new home who could become surrogates.

But you’re right, this may still be the best outcome, albeit rough.

This is still horrible :(

They look waaaaaay too young to be separated from their mother.

Some people can really just be mean.

Absolutely, the fun bit just is how I didn’t feel insulted in the slightest for being called a woman. Wasn’t euphoric either, but still think that’s saying something.

someone in the street wanted to know what hair product I was using

Well, now I want to know, too, sounds like you’re doing something very right there.

Regarding compliments, I kinda get that, I’ve never really been able to give them to others. Not sure why, maybe missing self worth, maybe scared of giving a wrong impression. It’s actually something I’m actively trying to improve currently.

No pressure! Whatever happens, do it in your own pace. This is your journey and yours alone.

I’ve also had 2 occasions where people have asked me if I’m a girl or a boy

Heh, makes me think of that time decades ago where a girl in my class said with my long hair I’d look like a fat woman. That really stung, that she called me fat.

First of all a hearty welcome to the sisterhood <3

Nice to hear that your parents got your back, that’s worth a lot! Have you tried to experiment with your name / pronouns, yet? Tried to see what it does to you if you actually get called by something new?

Labels are first and foremost for you to get closer to yourself. Personally I go with she/her/woman and that feels nice to me, but I see it as a working hypothesis that may change some day and that’d be okay. Though, the likelihood of that seems to go lower over time. For me a lot of it came from the thought that I haven’t really understood what non-binary means and that it was just very new to me.

Oh and hey, if no one has told you yet - everyone has doubts or anxiety surrounding their identity. People who do transition do so in spite it, not because it isn’t there. Society likes that idea of a trans person who knew about their gender from childhood, always wanted the changes and pressured their surroundings as soon and as much as possible. People like that do exist, but they’re actually the exception, for most of us it’s much more complicated.

For me, my understanding of feelings has evolved a lot in the last few months. I’ve barely had consciously thought about being a woman or other wishes that may revolve around that identity. I thought these were not possible, so what’d be the point of indulging in them, huh? But yeah, my feelings were there and did everything they could to try and show me what I need to see. I was blind and it took me two decades to finally start getting myself.

I am so so grateful for all the visible trans people who live their best lives and have shown me it’s possible.

I’d like to leave you two links: If you haven’t already, The Gender Dysphoria Bible is a great read and starting point for this journey. Almost single-handedly cracked my own egg.

Also https://turnmeintoagirl.com/ is a fun experiment, maybe it does something with you :).

Can’t wait to hear more from you and enjoy the ride <3

Of course she would! She may think it’s stupid, wasteful and pointless and do her best to convince me. But eventually she’d accept that I need a blahaj, same as she accepted that I need to become a wizard - and support me.

I’ve had similar feelings for the last year - until I hugged it yesterday. Was thrown right back into childhood.

I don’t know if a different plushie of that size would’ve hit different. But pillows? Don’t think so, usually not that soft and cuddly.

Tbh, when I got them I just wanted to finally get the formality out of the way and be certified gay.

But then I hugged them at home and oh my gosh, I felt so happy all of a sudden and didn’t wanna let go for minutes. Did not expect this, can’t wait for the next big feels now :3.

Ooooohh, that’s cool, time for a new hobby

Awwwww, all these butterflies, good luck <3

No, you are :3!

Awwwww, I’m just so happy we met and just started chatting and basically haven’t stopped since <3

It’s so much fun to go through this journey together! All these first times, best feelings ever - and hardships.

I love you sis <3

*blushes :3

It’s so cool that we can do these baby step tests of just pulling it up an inch, isn’t it?

For some reason fishnets feel more daring to me than bare skin, but I should get some eventually, they’d go great with this skirt!

I actually did back in the forest :>

I sure hope so, my other wardrobe is not made for this heat :3
