Hello everyone~ The megathread is very eepy this week so I am being very quiet and not posting a whole essay as that might disturb their rest. The megathread does a lot of work for us after all, so they deserve to rest a little. Our regularly scheduled effortposts will continue next week.
Nonetheless, I hope that you (yes you!) are doing well, whenever it may be that you happen to be dropping in. I wish you all the best~

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It’s for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

You wouldn’t download a gender
I don’t just pirate my gender, I reverse engineer and patch it to do things off-the-shelf genders can’t

TRANSITION MILESTONE ACHIEVED:
- RANDOM GUY IN PUBLIC STARTS FLIRTING WITH YOU -
still kind of shook because it was so unexpected but uhh… now i know how the other girls feel when it happens. Blend of euphoria and ewphoria but i’m going with 85% euphoria and 15% ewphoria here
I got hit on by gay dudes prior to transition, now they dont (which is fair). No straight guy has ever shot his shot with me in public, its all been femmes. Dunno what that means lol
- hell yeah happy you happy

if some guy cat called me i’d probably try picking a fight with him if i could while also being faintly flattered by it. it’s still gross but i’m also a massive slut for attention

I don’t think I’ve been flirted with yet (but who knows because I am an oblivious
) but definitely get random compliments.
Why did nobody tell me bralettes make you feel so cute omg
I too am very eepy so I will be going to bed, g’nite everyone~
Remember when Luigi shot that CEO?

You don’t need to worry about your “accomplishments”. They only mean something if they bring you happiness. If not having them gives you sadness, then forget about them.
Don’t let college become a ghost in your head that you chase after. That’s what I did and it killed parts of me. Now I can brag to employers about how exploitable I am cause I’m in debt and have no friends.
I know many people who come to college to waste their time and party. They are the ones really wasting their life. You are instead taking care of your life, you just need more effort for it than others.

That tightrope walk is so hard… I hope theres some respite for you soon, even if its just some icecream and cuddling a plushie. Im sorry i have no advice (if i did i would be taking it
) but, well, youre heard and like i know what its like and it sucks. I keep applying for jobs but even if i get hired ill probably lose it to another mental health episode…Its tough out there, im glad you at least have here to vent to
*huggies*
Gender affirming how I have to wear a bra everyday. It’s literally more comfortable with one on than when I am without.
yeah, it’s great having “too big to ignore” tits, isn’t it?
Got casually she/her’d for the first and second time in the last few days, very exciting, also seems like B/C cups overrides being really tall (thank you padded sports bra)

mental health, some of its harsh from a caregiver
Before me and my ex broke up, for 3 years they had some kind of constellation of depression, fatigue, pain, a lot of stuff. I was happy to step in cause I thought love and patience was enough.
I do remember towards the end, starting to feel incredibly depressed and resentful that I didnt also have a Terminal in our relationship. I still had to go to school and work and change the cats litter on both of our days and cook and clean. But I didnt, I had my ex.
The frustrating part was watching them NOT take steps towards anything. Not trying to get a job, not trying to get welfare, not attending therapy, not going to health appointments - even when I set them up, unless I drove there and from the sounds of it later they never talked much at any of them so I started getting them to write down what was happening day to day (feeling itchy for the 3rd day in a row, emesis x2 today, slept 14 hours, needed hot bath for nausea, etc). I ran into their family at work recently and by the sounds of it, theyre much better.
Part of me is happy theyre FINALLY better and working and taking care of themslef. The other is bitter and mad, why wasn’t our relationship good enough to make that effort? I had been a shitty boyfriend sometimes and a much less shitty girlfriend but I thought I was worth taking the effort to, like, eat meals and go to therapy and work at a job. Im still paying consumer debt I took out to support us…
why the fuck does every form of flirting feel like sexual harassment
and what the fuck can i do about it
believe that you are desired
Yes, but this can be very difficult to do when you’ve never experienced love. Like, I’m still struggling with this myself, no matter how many times my girlfriend says she loves me, because I’m not used to this new feeling.
well there’s my problem
i’ve never really believed that in my life
i know i should but uh… it’s hard to just flip on that switch
Like when you flirt with others it feels like youre harassing people?
yeah. i want to flirt with people but literally anything i do feels like i’m going too far. there is no “safe” area, i might as well be sexally harassing someone. this means i basically can’t flirt with anyone because anything is a bridge too far and idk what to do
I dunno if your city has a gay bar or some trans t4t style event but usually people go to those to be flirted with.
Do you feel locked up by anxiety and fear of rejection? Or is it a fear that you dont deserve to come on to someone because you think trans people shouldn’t because of some possibly internalized transphobia? If you’re worried about coming across as creepy, the fact that you care how you come across puts you way ahead of creeps
I fear that anything I say is going to be followed with a “stop talking to me creep” and is too far, unwarranted, and just creepy. So the only time I ever say anything “flirty” it just comes off as 100% friendly and only slightly plausibly flirting
why the fuck does every form of flirting feel like sexual harassment
Big mood, I think a lot of it is just testing boundaries and backing off if you get a no or maybe. I think all my crushes went nowhere mostly because I kept people at arms length by being polite vs warm. A good way to get started is probably bullshitting with friends not necessarily flirting but more ripping on each other like good friends do, if you go too far with a friend you apologize and talk through it.
My mom was like “the white streaks in your hair look so pretty”
finally getting ethereal and mystic lookingeeeeee~ white streaks in hair are sooooooo pwetty
I know right, at this point my whole fam is on the dying their hair like once a month but I wanna let it go as a badge of honor for making it this long
Still impatiently waiting on my salt and pepper era so I can start dying the streaks without having to bleach my hair.
What color you thinking of, way long ago when I had short hair I remember dying it blue but then afterward just having some streaks of blonde that looked cool. Honestly if it didn’t make me miserable I would have liked how my beard had streaks of red in it.
Purple, green, blue, pink. Probably dye different parts of my hair different colors
millennials are a visually weird generation because some of us still have baby faces into our 30s but also some of us have graying hair before 30, and there’s a decent amount of overlap between the groups
I know my nephew has it worse at 22 with way more streaks of white hair, idk how I’d describe my own face but I have been trying to lose weight and take care of my skin better. My face has been getting more angular recently but then I see a video of myself and go damn guess not.
My mom was freaked out when she spotted my white hairs. I have a few, no streaks. They dont bother me but they really bothered her! I think to her the idea of her kid being old enough to have a few white hairs kinda put time into a different perspective.
They’ve never bothered me though, Ive been asked at salons if I want them touched up. I could pluck em I guess at home. But I feel no emotional content towards them good or bad
I’m the youngest of my siblings so I guess my mom was used to it by now, I just think they look neat is all
