Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
Someone threw a rock at my apartment?? I dunno if they aimed it at my place but it hit my balcony and made the bars ring. It's kind of a nice skipping stone style rock... weird. I'm 3 stories up, that's quite the throw
home from work and back to playing titanfall 2 
(also have vegan pizza in the oven)
Genderfluid in the sense that inside of me there are two wolves and one of them has been having an existential crisis for most of the past 10 days and doesn't really care about gender that much right now as a result and the other really wants to be more feminine and gets most of the joy and dysphoria from that... and also there's like two dead wolves over on the side don't worry about that 
<-- me right now

staring at my steam collection of 441 games, and I have nothing I want to play
I feel bad because I pushed back on some wild racism by a friend's family member and the vibe definitely got awkward afterwards. Like, I know it was the right thing to do and all, but I hate confrontation and I feel it was my fault things got weird. 
look, i'm not trying to troll the weird transphobes by fucking with their own logic, but every time I hear that one tired transphobe argument of "but this isn't how god made you", I can't help but just flatly disagree. I'm not sure if there was some form of divine intelligence that aided or steered in my creation, but if there was, I'm pretty sure god just made me trans. It's really that simple 
dysphoria (but I'm actually feeling good right now)
Chat I am so big/cooked. I was talking with some lovely people earlier about shoe size and its so over for me. I knew my feet were big but apparently my idea of "very small" (I remember wearing bigger at like 11/12) is actually big for women. Basically its all over. T has made my body so incredibly large.
Supposedly this large size doesn't effect passing but I don't buy it. Also just being small and cute would be kinda nice idk.
I know this sounds like I'm sad/crying or whatever but I'm actually just 
which is very weird but welcome. Uh also sorry if I've posted about my size recently I don't remember what I post vs what I think about posting at all and my sense of time is fucked.
I have too much anxiety to go to an actual barber shop so Iβve been doing my own hair and itβs a bit of a mess right now 
A couple days ago I was speaking with my mother and she deadnamed me. Much to my surprise, it did not affect me in the slightest when I used to get angry with her. I guess I've finally dissociated with it. Kinda nice that my deadname holds no dominion over me any longer.
All my coworkers are asleep, ah this is perfect. No one is listening to music or the olympics, no one wants to talk to me and make a connection, just silence.
Having trans thoughts all day every day is tiring, actually.
Also had the chance to buy a cute plushie the other day and didn't take it (cuz scared), kicking myself now.
Anthropology has a lot to answer for. Back in the 90s, a transphobe named Serena Nanda turned the gaze of the university onto the issue of gender in India and we are still living with the consequences. With the power of imperial knowledge-making behind her, she has laid down the dogma that only (educated, middle-class, white) Westerners claim to be trans women while those Indians we call hijra are actually a third gender. All the cis academics since agree with her and even the Indian courts cite her, so it must be true, right? So if you see photos of a protest with signs like "Hijras are women" or Indian trans women saying that they're trans women, you can rest assured that's that just our malign colonial influence. The exotic truth, on the other hand, is safely preserved in the centers of power of the Anglophone world thanks to the daily labor of cis academics everywhere β preserved from the colonial force of white trans women who threaten to extend their reach everywhere.

I have been girlshopping for the past... maybe two or three hours? And my god everything is expensive, small, and/or poorly made. At first I was just adding stuff to the list, but after looking deeper at the reviews a lot of it is cheap garbage that won't even fit me right. 
I need to re-evaluate and pick the handful of things I want most I guess. Why is being a girl so expensive.
Update on the coming out thing: my parents waited a day before pouring out all their shitty misinformed takes, and I've had an incredibly horrible evening :(
body stuff, mostly positive
i had a really interesting conversation with a cis woman friend who is the same height as me, and has a large bone structure (mine is slightly larger but we're similar in a lot of ways). i'm totally cool with my height, i think i have the right height for my sense of self. and i was kinda surprised to learn that she has always wanted to be shorter, more petite etc. surprised because i have always appreciated how she looks and i know she appreciates the strenght etc that come with how she's built.
it's like she has more gender dysphoria as a cis woman than i do. and my heart goes out to her for it. she can relate in a lot of ways to my experience being trans and intersex.
fun little trans thing: looking down at the ground and seeing your own cleavage like you're checking your health in that one jurassic park game.
thinking my score on the ASRS-v1.1 test (ADHD) was pretty typical, until my coworker also took it lol

I saw my old therapist for 5 years. she only told me in the last few months of seeing her that she thought I wasn't neurotypical after I asked her 
she was thinking this for a while, why didn't she mention it sooner??
I think I have worked out that my personal fashion ideal is "fancy romantic goth meets patched-up punk". I love the juxtaposition of like, a frilly white blouse and heaps of pearl bead jewelry with scuffed-up patch pants.
sisyphus must be stoked for the heat death of the universe
bad vibes - Question?
kind of without orientation for what to do with my life. I have gotten a "useless" degree (only the feds take me and it's doubtful I can get into academia) - I have enoug money to get a second degree, but that one has to pay me for the rest of my life. Vexed enough to throw it into the transgender mega at this point
i feel like sonic and link are in the same category where someone could say they're transmasc and someone could say they're transfem. and they would both be right. exceptionally transgender creatures
i'm so leftist that my left tiddy is noticably bigger than the right one
I'm feeling very depressed this evening and I genuinely cannot tell whether it is because of dysphoria or because I lost at some meaningless video game
Hey trans mega fans, any of you going to the mega trans conference?
When it takes every fiber of your being to resist wanting to strangle transphobes to death with your bare hands. 
I absolutely am a 'cannot eat without youtube' baby. but part of it is I find chewing noises, even my own, EXTREMELY over stimulating. the other part of it absolutely is having baby brain where I need constant stimulation and entertainment tho, can't lie
trans mega 200 comments ahead of news mega. thank you nothing ever happens bros for keeping the news mega quiet
starting HRT week 3, boobs and cum, dead bedroom
Third sub-c shot. Nipples were sensitive all last week. This morning I noticed my ejaculation was mostly clear, so I guess my sperm production is down.
Girlfriend and I aren't having sex atm so she can find more sense of safety, which is something we both want. But there's no flirting or passion in our relationship right now and because of chronic tension and cPTSD, I hurt myself and flareup every time I try to go do something fun with her.
Feeling like I'm going through all these sexual changes alone, like I can't share with her right now without it making things uncomfortable. And like she'd be happier dating someone that's not chronically tense to the point of disability.
On the bright side, third HRT shot and started voice training. Working with a straw to feel more vibration in the front of my face. Yesterday I was on the back step smoking, talking to brainworms in my femm voice.
Reading a collection of trans essays called trans-gressions. And ordered A Thousand Plateaus by Deleuze and Guattari.
job hunting
I feel like I am in this weird position where my past work experience is rather atypical for someone my age to the point where despite the fact that it was pretty specialized work, I don't feel confident in being able to get another job like it. For context I was an art teacher/art teacher's assistant (I honestly do not really know what category I'd fall into) at this private art studio, right out of high school. So I have a lot of experience with teaching art, working with kids K-12, and also with photo editing. But also I don't have a college degree yet, let alone any sort of teacher's certificate so I don't feel confident in applying for most art teaching jobs. Art tutoring jobs, maybe...?
