I know I'm a bit late to this post but I've been doing really well transition wise. Last month I got to 1 year on HRT so that was very hype. Also started prog about 2 months back and its sedative effects have been very useful, as I usually have a hard time falling asleep.
Personally though, I've been very stressed out with college and I haven't had any luck finding a comp sci internship, but I'm still hopeful I will get something eventually. 😅
Also the feeling of finally loving yourself and caring about the body you're in is amazing. HRT is a wonder drug
Don't beat yourself up, me neither it's really hard idk why :/
Yeah I've heard a lot of people are having trouble with it rn so I don't feel too bad about myself. I've been making a bunch of projects to put on my portfolio so hopefully that will help.
I'm thinking the reason why is that a lot of tech companies have been laying off a bunch of people recently. This means it's going to be difficult to find an internship until those companies start experiencing loses from having skeleton crews, and then they'll start hiring a bunch of people back on (which they will layoff again eventually). The tech industry just tends to be annoying like that.
