  • Oh I have childhood trauma too, I just try not to talk that deep on it too often cause my parents are trying to make up for it where they can, they just get irritated at me for things they could have avoided in the first place. Plus it’s a mixture of them and other kids screwing up my childhood. I’m just glad they’re taking my transition so well honestly; they mess up all the time but they’re clearly putting more effort into this than they ever did when I was younger




  • Fucking tell me about it. Now I’m left trying to catch up to everyone else at 26 instead of having learned life skills at a more normal age like everyone else. And yet I’m the asshole for being miserable and pissed off at my parents for not teaching me anything useful and trying to do everything for me like I’m a child, while at the same time getting annoyed at me for not being able to do the things they never bothered teaching me. Make it make sense.





  • I got a clinic referral yesterday! Waiting on a confirmation letter/email but the gp visit went so much better than I expected. I was automatically offered the clinic with the shortest waiting times and the doctor made sure to make a note of my preferred name and pronouns on my file. I was in and out in 10 minutes and had to contain a big dumb smile as I was leaving




  • Had my first transphobia the other day, that was fun /s. Came out to a (now former) friend and he went on about how he was glad trump won and that it should be even harder to transition and teachers shouldn’t be allowed to mention any lgbt topics whatsoever. He knows transitioning reduces suicide rates too so it was hard not to take that as him telling me to kms. Had a look on his face like he thought it was funny. In better news though my mum has offered to try getting prescribed estradiol “for menopause” so that’s gonna make medicating easier while I’m waiting to be seen by a doctor


  • Difficult, not gonna lie. Everything’s become much more real since coming out to my parents, and while everyone I’ve told has been amazingly supportive I kinda feel like I’m trapped being who I’ve always been. Each small step is like climbing another mountain. I’m scared I might never get to finally be me (thanks TERF Island). Got a blåhaj to snuggle though so things aren’t all bad I guess
