(in reference to my tags on this post)

I guess I could...but I'm not going to enjoy the process...and I'm not going to like the result...what's the point...

bold new argument: you should be transfem and also not like demily.

(in reference to this post or one of the reblogs)

It feels like you inverted what those posts were talking about. Before my egg cracked, I wondered if the gender thoughts I had were trans symptoms or just envying a trans woman.

But responding to the text of this ask: I don't disagree, but TBH I could stand to be more like Demily in several ways. The confident self-love...the circle of trusted friends...the several years of HRT...

haven't been on tumblr in a while, last i saw a few months ago you were trying out she/her pronouns. how's that going

Online, it's continuing. But not a lot of people refer to me in the third person, and text isn't the same as in-person.

In-person, it hasn't really started. I've come out to one (1) person I regularly see IRL, so she doesn't have many opportunities to she/her me. Also I can never tell if she remembers? She's mentioned it once or twice, but I don't think she's ever called me by my new name?

I really need to talk to her about that, but...I dunno, I'm just not good at confrontations. Maybe I should contrive a situation when I can tell someone else when she's in the room.

...

If you mean transition in general, I've been busy with tax season for most of the past 2½ months. But I've thought about starting HRT for most of that time.

I could seek estradiol through my doctor, but I'm worried about things getting worse in this state, worried that all I'll get for the trouble is my name on some semi-secret state Tranny Tracker. (Also I've been having insurance issues.) But that danger never really manifested, so I was never quite spurred to jump through the hoops needed to start DIYing it.

I need to actually commit.

I don't speak emoji, but thank you?

[greatwyrmgold]

was going through the A Little Vice forum again and saw that your pronouns had updated. Just wanted to say congratulations!

Thanks!

...I remember finding Chiro relatable. Just for the social anxiety, of course. And then I made fun of her for refusing to accept the obvious signs of being transgender.

(forum search noises)

Apparently I didn't actually post any of those thoughts. Probably because I recognized that they sounded eggy and didn't want to think about that.

Whoa congrats on the pronoun change! :)

Thanks!
