I have subscribed to so many leftist podcasts but I have listened to barely anything
chat i'm finally off work and i'm getting snacks. i'll get some for everyone
I hate the welfare system here, it is so fucking terrible, doesnt give enough money to live, prevents you from working, and is impossible to get on cause its better to spend 5000 dollars to catch 20 dollars of fraud than just help people for some fucking reason (death to reagan, death to his memory, and may anyone who respects him get kicked in the face and pissed on)
subcutaneous estrogen personal timeline
Subcutaneous without an androgen blocker has been good to me.
I am on week 7 I believe. Already showing some boobage. Testicles are way smaller. Sex drive is way different. Much less reactive and defensive (i.e. more likely to cry than get mad). Skin softer. Face more feminine (a laser session helped).
I am having some sensitivity around injection sites. Going to try my thighs instead of my stomach next time. Inject more slow and gentle, see if that helps.
Overall really happy and surprised by the progress. Feeling so glad I started on it.
CW for repression
I was looking up perspectives of people who had gender dysphoria but chose not to transition on 
and here's an interesting excerpt I found:
At the end of the day I grew up. Rather than spending my time fantasizing about a a hypothetical different version of myself that was happy, I did the hard work of building a person that I was happy with. It took a decade plus to stop my head spinning from the confusion of it all, and then another five or so years of looking back at it and trying to figure out what it all meant for my life. In the end I was just an insecure kid who was afraid of male expectations.
Is that normal for an allegedly cis person? To take a decade plus to "build a person" you're happy with, and then ruminate on it for another five years? I'm around cis men a lot to me it seems that for them "getting your life together" mostly means getting swole and getting a better paying job and maybe building a social circle of people you hang out with regularly. tbf the getting a good paying job can take a while, but I think you can be happy with a just okay job if you have the other two, which, I can't really speak from personal experience, but from what I've seen in mentally healthy cis guys shouldn't take nearly that long.
(I am probably oversimplifying what cis men generally want for their lives, but I'm just saying, barring things like mental illness and extreme poverty, I've never seen one take that long to grow into themselves)
I don't wanna cast aspersions but if someone is struggling with their gender for 15 years they probably will continue to struggle after all that suppression and it's gonna come roaring back when they're much older
Downloaded like 6 books on English/British history. I'm gonna ace that citizenship test.
CW: extremely blatant chaserism and transphobia
I logged back into @Ho_Chi_Chungus@hexbear.net and looked through the inbox to see if I missed anything and I missed a DM from a wrecker from five months ago that just says "Send me pictures of your girl dick" and I know I should be grossed out but I can't help but thinking that's extraordinarily funny because of just how weird it is? like, no, I'm not going to do that, nerd. you're already banned and have been for almost half a year. idk why I think it's really funny but it just was to me
I finally found a non-woke game
Slept well. Had some nice conversation both online and off. Paid my bills and my moustache has basically stopped growing. Yeah, it's a good day to be trans today 
tonight is a certified "sit alone in your car after work singing Yakuza sad karaoke to yourself because you're feeling extra dysphoric and wondering if that one girl likes you back" type of night
I wake up this morning and I ask myself: how can I help bring down the cis today?
bit idea: anti-woke health insurance company that openly advertises that it doesn't cover gender affirming care or abortions, but it's also way shittier than existing health insurance companies when it comes to premiums, deductibles, coverage, and everything else, and the profits go to trans and reproductive care organizations
Turns out my ass pulling herself up by her bootstraps and finally teaching herself how to shave is what she needed to be able to look herself in the mirror and confidently call herself a woman.
(Yes I chose to word that in this precise way so as to use as many female pronouns for myself as possible 'cause I'm feeling girly as fuuuuuuuuuuuck. I'm so pissed I didn't do this sooner. For some reason I imagined it would be harder lmao)
I was lookin, and six whole trans megas appear on the front page of Hexbear's Most Comments sort, from #7 to #13 or so.
just remembered when i asked a waitress at a fancy restaurant if there was truffle oil in the dish as i thought i could taste a hint of it and wanted to know (it wasn't mentioned on the menu)
she basically just laughed at me as if i was some kind of food pleb, then like two minutes later i heard a waiter explain the dish to another table and mention black truffle oil
family drama
My sister was caught on the phone with her abusive ex by my aunt but she claimed it was just for a second because she didn’t know it was her calling and they aren’t talking again.
I don’t feel like I can trust her to be honest about this and idk what to do.
My parents could kick her out if they know she is back in her life, but I’m thinking about telling my mom and convincing her to make my sister get a restraining order again.
love love
Halimede-type shitpost
This had me cackling at “enbies get the trans flag and their own uglier one”
No funny business, ya’ll.
made a minecraft modpack that doesn't include create for once. this is difficult for me, but when I include it everything just becomes about the factory and nothing else
I was biking this morning and some old white dude came up to me and said “you seem like the kind of person who would do the right thing for god or people.” I affirmatively grunted. “I hope you’re a woman…” after some mumbling I couldn’t make out he said “if a man ever… a tall man…” Then my light was green and I couldn’t hear him anyway so I left.
I was wearing my keffiyeh and cargo pants. Literally showing no skin, as androgynous as possible. I have no idea why he thinks or cares I’m a woman, but I’ll take it. Does he think I’m Muslim?

Hurt my back
Perpetually exhausted
Think I'm getting sick again and my chest feels kind of tight
Annoyed by pretty much everything except my cats
Feel grotesque and just want to hibernate for like a week but can never sleep well
It's Friday night and I'm at an AA meeting with 10 old dudes in their 60s and 70s. Feeling super cool right now

My very first actual blouse arrived today and I'm in love. Wearing it makes me feel like a ✨lady✨. The closest thing I had before was a couple of women's shirts, and while they're definitely a good vibe, this feels a lot more obviously feminine. I have an ankle length skirt I thrifted way back I thought I didn't like much because I hadn't found a use for it yet, but it actually looked great with this.
The neckline is really long and deep, so I'm thinking a big, eye-catching necklace or choker would be a great fit, but for now I only have a small, more subtle necklace. 
I'm gonna have such a cute outfit once my new jeans arrive, if they're also as cool as I hope they're going to be it might be my new favourite. 
Is my transness coming for my asexuality as well??? Wadda hell? I've considered that part of me to be an immutable fact since high school
Hey, Clover here, your gay catgirl amateur chemist, doing okay-ish, probably a year or so until I can get away from my current situation.
Anyway, wanted to update on the estrogen gel guide I was writing: it is being written very slowly, within hyoerfocused nights for a few hours, interspersed every few weeks
I've got it basically done as a first draft, only one section is missing, and the accompanying excel sheet with all the calculations
After that it'd still need to be read by people a bit and edited for clarity and to fix any mistakes
I estimate maybe a month or two before I get to that step though, depending on how much my brain cooperates
My cold, it's causing distress in that it's inhibiting my ability to uh, express my silly lil gender. I am displeased and unhappy. I could be wearing skirts and cardigans...
does anyone want to synchronize peeing on the floor with me... just kidding, i guess...
alarm clocks are reactionary and transphobic
