探検が進む…

I guess I really clicked with Miwa from 付きかな (How Do We Relationship): she just reacts in a totally understandable way to everything and has a lot of very similar personality traits. And Saeko is such a darling <3

That’s wonderful! I hope you continue to find joy in your transition, and congratulations on your engagement <3

I counted in the new year surrounded by lesbians. It was fun.

This is very femme and I like it a lot!

Um, yeah? Transitioning massively reduced my dissociation.

That’s pretty much the definition of gender dysphoria.

I finally had my initial consult for bottom surgery! Still a few more hoops to jump through, but it should happen some time next year.

People are gendering me female (and acting interested!) even on zero-effort days.

And I’ve just about worked up the courage to visit a lesbian bar over new year 👩‍❤️‍👩

So, pretty good <3

Woo! Looking good!

My still-not-ex-spouse is getting less and less cooperative. I really hope this doesn’t end up in court.

OTOH, I had my initial consult for bottom surgery, so on the whole it was an awesome day!

Fuck 'em. If they want their daughter in their life, they can learn who you are.

It sucks, but not as much as forcing yourself to be around people who want you to be someone you’re not.

Those are adorable! They look pretty comfy too.

I don’t think it’s any weirder than fantasizing about, say, having sex with your celebrity crush. Which is not weird at all.

So long as you’re not trying to follow through on it, enjoy your imaginary lesbian utopia!

That’s really pretty! Nice work.

Oh, this is an excellent question.

Yeah, everything that had been general background malaise became a lot more specific once I knew I was trans. It became a lot easier to pinpoint “I don’t like this about myself”. Which sucks, because I felt bad, but was also good because I could do something about it. Mostly that was “wait for HRT to sort it out”. And, mostly, HRT has fixed it. Or just time in general, like growing my hair out or losing weight.

The other thing I noticed is I tend to have a single thing that really bothers me, and everything else is a lot less of a bother. Once that’s dealt with, the next most important thing becomes apparent, and so on. At first I didn’t know whether I wanted bottom surgery, because I was so upset just looking male in general. But once my face softened up and my hair started to grow out, it suddenly became very obvious to me that surgery would be necessary.

The absolute worst thing when I was just starting out was my face looking like a man. I tried makeup, and that just made me look like a man in makeup. But, slowly, it started working: a bit of mascara made me feel better. Then foundation started smoothing out my face, rather than highlighting the masculine features. Eye shadow and lipstick started looking good.

Time-wise, I think the absolute worst period for me was about three months in. Six months, I started to see the effects of HRT. Nine months, I started passing as a woman. Twelve months, I could see it for myself.

Totally. The amount of shit I can just shrug off with a “that sucks, oh well” now that would have had me spiraling before is incredible.

It kind of feels like I had life on hard mode up till now.

I don’t really know why, but I always felt it ought to be this. (I haven’t seen the drama it’s from, but the plot looks… interesting)

Good luck!

Nicely done. You found just the right shade, too!

Yay <3 I like the top!
