Happy New Year everyone! You've all seen 2020 through, and I am so proud of you. This next year won't be cake, but we'll get through it together!
Instead of resolutions for this year, the suggested topic is advice you would tell your younger self/someone early in transition.
To kick things off, these are some resources I wish that I knew about back in highschool:
- Web Wizard for Updating your Name and Gender Marker
- Feminizing and Masculinizing Hormones Informed Consent packet (most comprehensive effects and side effects list I've ever seen)
- New York Vocal Coaching and TransVoiceLessons on YouTube
- Poshmark and DePop for finding cute gender affirming clothes when all the thrift stores got rona'd
- This diagram for what the fuck body measurements mean
Also! I'm TEL's newest mod! I'm soooo excited to be here. A little about me! I'm transfemme and have been on HRT for roughly two years, full time for about as long. I'm six months out from an orchi. I really fell down the leftist rabbit hole over the past year, currently call myself a "Liberatian Socialist" but the label game just feels like Hogwarts houses honestly. Read all the theory! Very excited about The Purge and can't wait to do more purging.
same experience here. hot tip: i actively work to remove myself from the player character if i play a woman. it works for me anyway, since i kinda prefer a character being their own person, instead of reliant on the personality i give them through in game choices
mixed results dysphoria-wise, but better than straight up not having a good time
