I'll start: I love the way my legs look in tights!

I've had a really bad time with dysphoria today. I've been home alone all day and had a moment to myself and nearly cried because i can't and never will be able to get pregnant. The fact that every woman I see gives me so much envy it makes me want to fucking die kills me because I can't be a pretty girl anytime soon.

Honestly I just need a hug more than anything right now. I need to be hugged by someone in my life who knows what I'm going through. I need somebody to hold me tight and just tell me "You're doing great, Emily. You're a girl. You're trans." followed by the tightest hug so I can just feel safe in my identity for once without doubts.

Its 11:00 at night, i need sleep but please can someone tell me im not alone in wanting a hug or just call me a girl or anything. I feel like I'm losing my mind the more I watch my body masculinize.

I've been teaching myself some basic Japanese and thought of this

Mine is Benson Boone's "Before You".

I'm surprised at how quickly everything seems to fit me being a woman. From my confusion about relationships and what I want in life to my awkwardness about how I look and things I really enjoy doing. Of course, this is long journey, but I'm so happy about the clarity I'm feeling.

That aside, does anyone else relate to having a song that really fits their gender-(or nongender) journey?

Hope you all have a great day! Much love! ❤️

idk why but i keep accidentally deadnaming myself in my head (and on paper) a bunch recently. like when i simulate conversations with other people in my head, i forget that they dont know my legal name and aren’t gonna call me that, but i’ve gotten so used to it that it sometimes just feels weird y’know. also recently i had an exam and every time i have to write my name, i always almost just write my legal name ‘cause writing my new name next to my last name looks and sounds super weird and i can tell it’s gonna be awhile until i get used to it

Hello everybody ~ I was wondering if you could give me any advice. I finally started HRT roughly a month ago. And everything is fine (except for the fact I don’t have C cups yet) but I was wondering if any of you have deal with the transition while being in a “blue collar” job.

I not necessarily doing the heavy lifting, but I’m in charge of people, of everyday operations and have to be this very “macho” man in the plant.

I’m worried they might fired me if they found out or just force me to quit. Also I’m worried I might not be able to find another job in the industry after HRT effects became more noticeable. Thanks in advance.

How I lwk felt telling my manager that I actually prefer they/them after I answered any/he/him first… it’s a step but at least I don’t gotta be just he/him !!

everyone else still thinks i'm a girl and i'm too embarrassed to correct the people who think i'm a cis guy or the people who think i'm a cis girl

i might actually be a femalefailing girlmoder frfr

Wasn’t expecting this today, in the last place I was expecting too, and it really gave me a boost!!!

Shoutout to my partner, Kit

my hair is getting pretty long :)) but now i don't know what to do with it (styling, care, accessories etc) :/
