Hello fellow trans people. I have my first appointment at the gender clinic coming up next week and I’m excited. I won’t be able to start hormone treatment yet but it’s a step in the right direction

Kinda cringe. Don’t make sexual harassing jokes even if the person on the other side is working for evil.

I do skin picking which think is very similar in that it can be a source of shame if it results in visible wounds and it happens mostly due to stress.

There isn’t really an easy cure. It’s good to be aware when you’re doing it a lot, and to try and find out what the source of the stress is. If you’re otherwise bad at noticing when you’re stressed, pulling can be a useful sign and might help you to become aware of any stressful circumstances in your life. Stress can not be avoided all the time, so whenever you do find yourself in a period of stress it can be helpful to find something else to relieve your stress with, like a fidget toy or taking a walk or doing some other mind of exercises.

As a non-USian I’m in support of this idea.

10 including bs temporary jobs, 4 actual part time jobs I did while studying/after school. I’m 25.

Love how relatable this is to so many people here. I just say ‘sure’ and try to move on because I don’t care but sometimes people really can’t let it go for some reason.
