All my highschool nicknames were the product of bullying :(

Yeah, I’m not asking my partner. She’ll suggest a bunch of lotr names.

The shooting was almost definitely a false flag operation. I saw the video of the journal being shown. The entire thing is in the cerrylic alphabet (so people watching russian TV can read it) . But it’s 100% set up to justify sending you to a “wellness camp” so either run to a different country or hide out Anne Frank style. I don’t think I’m being needlessly alarmist either.

I’m half considering stealing Joanne from the f**King terf. It’d be the ultimate act of trolling.

I just spat coffee. But… That would be hilarious…

Or find someone who’s prepared to hide you Anne Frank style.

Not really an option when I’m so close to inheriting a house from a man who undoubtedly beats his meat to a picture of jk Rowling.

My girl!

But also be careful because they’re going to start rounding up the trans community and sticking them in wellness camps soon. Genuinely you should all get out of the country soon. There are vastly more fascists than trans people.

This stinks of a false flag operation. If anyone here lives in the states, please try to find a way out of the country. I don’t want you to end up in one of RFK jnr’s “Wellness camps”. Please take current events seriously this shit isn’t normal. They’re going to start rounding people up soon. You need to find somewhere to hide Anne Frank style, if you can’t leave the country. I’m not trying to sound paranoid, just trying to light a fire under your arse.

Well a lot of the people who maintain stuff like that are in under Ukraine.

That was pretty much exactly what the judge said.

Also if you have Photoshop skills, you could put your face on an idealised female body and an idealised male body and see which one feels right, if either do. By no means a diagnostic test but might be interesting?

It sounds like you need to talk to a psychologist/therapist who specialises in gender dysphoria. They would potentially be able to help you arrange your thoughts on the matter. No-one is going to be able to give you a definite answer on the internet and nor should they. I can tell you that I am going through the hatching process at the moment and am experiencing something similar. I’m a long way past puberty (old enough to be your parent) and the thing that bothers me is that I didn’t adress this sooner. If I had investigated my gender identity at your age I might have enjoyed my adult life and not spent every day depressed and angry at everything.

It’s possible that you aren’t transgender or that you are. But even if you aren’t it’s still useful to know that. If you know any trans girls IRL you should talk to them about it and see if your experiences align with theirs. Also, I don’t know about your family situation or political environment where you live, but if you could see a therapist, it wouldn’t hurt. Just make sure you address it soon because you don’t want to spend the next few decades of your life miserable. Again I’m not saying you are or aren’t trans. Only you can figure that out.

Relief. I didn’t expect jubilation but there was always a chance she would have reacted negatively. But, she’s pretty autistic and her tone was pretty deadpan, which looking back should have been what I expected.

I can confirm that I have indeed pooped.

Late response, but so does cake.

Came out to my SO after watching Priscilla queen of the desert. She had no reaction beyond “please keep your penis, I like it.” Other than that, she likes the idea of me with hips and boobs and is very supportive. Am going to talk to my doctor about it today.

Edit: been to the doctor and am getting a referral to a psychologist for diagnosis.

How many messages? When people wake up to a shit ton of unread messages it has a way of freaking them out.

That really sucks, I’m sorry 😔.

I’m also from a rural place where everyone knows each others business all the time and it’s exhausting dealing with it. I haven’t actually started transitioning in any meaningful way, but I’m 100% not going to present as female there. At least until my very transphobic parents kick the bucket. After that I’m just not going to go back.

Just try to stay positive and keep going. Civilization isn’t that far away. You can do it!
