So a couple months ago I started questioning/cracked my egg. I feel kind of conflicted about it. I resonate a lot with some parts of the gender dysphoria bible and some things I've read written by other trans people which to me feels significant. It helped explain the background wrongness I've felt but brushed off for years and recontextualized some past experiences that I had clocked as weird but did not understand at the time.

On the other hand I don't think what I am interpreting as dysphoria is debilitating or anything. I've worked, done some schooling and finished an associate's degree so I feel like I don't really have it that bad. I did buy some thigh high socks and I like them but I don't think I felt euphoria or anything wearing them.

I've started seeing a therapist to treat my depression and anxiety and I talked about being trans with him a bit. We've only had a couple of sessions but he was surprisingly cool and very to the point about it. He said "So you are a transgender lesbian" while I was kind of dancing around it and it stunlocked me a bit. I do appreciate his support but I feel wrong thinking of myself in that way, like I haven't earned it or maybe I'm just wrong and I'm not trans.

Did anyone else feel like this when they started to transition? Was there anything that made it easier for you to get over it?

Gosh I'd love some emotional depth ๐Ÿฅบ. The boobs and softer skin too, of course.

It would be nice if it were this easy for everyone! It wasn't even that easy for me, truth be told. Not pictured are the years I spent in denial thinking things like "every guy wants to be a cute girl" or similar that are very eggy in hindsight. If it wasn't for lemmy I'd probably have taken another few years to crack because I filtered egg_irl on reddit years ago probably for some reason like "well these are relatable but I'm not trans so it's not really for me" lol.

ahaha, sorry if this hit a bit close to home :) I went through this a few weeks ago and it was pretty cathartic

I used to study networking, albeit at a pretty beginner level. IPv6 has been around for nearly 30 years at this point, so I'd be surprised if the hardware github uses doesn't support it. The impression I got was that it's pretty easy to extend an IPv4 address space so there isn't any rush to make a large scale move to IPv6 everywhere.
