Thank you @LadyAutumn! 💜

I had a whole bunch of them including the vasomotor ones like hot flashes and night sweats, but the ones that I’m mainly worried about are that it started making the joints in my hands painful and giving me frequent carpal tunnel flare ups as well as severe dry eyes and made my vision a lot worse

There are absolutely no jump scares or scary imagery, but it is very existentially heavy
Omg I want an emotional support Chihuahua to visit meeeeee
Congratulations!!
If you have insurance now, it might cover bottom surgery. This site has a pretty comprehensive list, but if it’s not listed there it’s worth googling “<your insurance> trans healthcare” and seeing what comes up. You’ll likely need two letters of support in order to receive coverage: one from your hrt provider and one from a mental health provider.
Though not completely up to date, this site can help you find GRS surgeons that take insurance by area
Yes, 100%

Thank you for the support @LadyAutumn ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ You always know what to say :) I dress pretty androgynously, which I know isn’t helping, but my fear keeps me from going out full fem in my current location. I’m really really trying to get over it so I can stop compromising on my appearance.
I am in pretty intensive therapy currently, which I’m sure is why stuff is rising to the surface. I think I am doing better today :) It’s Friday and Fridays are always good lol
I think once the promotion dam breaks you’ll be getting one promotion after another! It sounds like your hard work has really paid off and I hope the new role is super rewarding!!
Been getting relentlessly sirred and brothered anytime I go outside which is destroying me. Won’t be able to do anything about FFS until I can get my braces off which I don’t currently have a timeline on.
Had my first experience with “trans broken arm syndrome” and the doctor blaming a health issue I am having on HRT. I wouldn’t take that for an answer, and I eventually got them to take me seriously but it still sucked having to deal with that.
The ghosts of trauma have been haunting me this week as well, bringing everything else down with it. Wishing I could be less of a downer lol
Congrats on your promotion though :)
I work in tech as well. Thankfully my current workplace is accepting. I guess I’m paranoid about people’s biases even if they are outwardly accepting.
My lease doesn’t end until october which is cutting it really close to the elections, but the early termination fee is super exorbitant so I’m trying to balance having enough time to find a job, but not ending up having to renew the lease because I waited too long. Finding one that offers relocation assistance would be a dream come true
What’s a good server to set up a matrix account on?
Is there a season 2 coming? I hadn’t heard! I’m pretty sure I’m behind, I’ve only seen up to the first movie that came out after the series. I’ve never watched a series that throws so many gut punches lol
Oof, hope you’re holding up watching Made in Abyss lol
I’d also add that it’s okay if your testosterone is outside of cis women’s range as long as your estrogen is higher. I was extremely worried that I was ruining my transition, but it really didn’t and I still made excellent progress despite it. Certainly do all that you can to get it lower, but in the mean time don’t fret too much if it is.
Edit: Also if you’re on tablets, you can increase their testosterone suppression by evenly dividing them throughout the day as much as reasonably possible.
Thank you for your hard work LadyAutumn!
Thank you @ada!
What foods do you recommend during recovery?
