That's a very good way to put it; I know exactly what you mean. (There should be PSAs on TV for this kind of thing: hey, kids! If you experience this, you're probably trans!)

I've always (until very recently, of course) really hated buying clothes. One of the factors leading up to my egg-crack was my wife (justifiably) nagging me that my clothes were all falling apart and I really needed to get some new ones. She even very kindly offered to order some for me online. But I just... couldn't. The idea of buying and wearing this stuff wasn't something I could recognize in myself. And, at last, I realized that there might be something bigger going on.

That's genius! Just watched a tutorial, and I'm going to destroy some T-shirts!

I wonder if it would look good over a tank top? Still haven't quite figured out the "layers" thing.

You got this! Math in particular feels like beating your head against a wall for ages until one day you suddenly get it (I studied it at uni, and everybody struggles).

Oh yeah, same here. I had my first session last week - they gave me the anesthetic cream for free because I paid up front. Gosh, this must really hurt, thinks me, starting to get worried because there wasn't time to put it on before starting. The lady kept stopping and asking if I could stand the pain, but it didn't hurt at all (the SMELL though...). That made me worry the laser wasn't working on my hair (I'm dirty blonde, although my facial hair is a bit darker).

I can still see the shadow, but shaving this morning there was a lot less stubble than usual! There is hope!

Haha, alright. I'll try to get a shot with Blåhaj :3

Hooray! Good luck!

Oh! Good idea!

I should get some pretty belts 🤩

Yeah, it lets the cats come in and out of the bedroom at night without having to open the door for them.

The label's in Chinese, but the internet tells me it's 60% Rayon. (I got it as part of my shotgun "buy everything cheap and girly on Amazon" experiment)

Now that you mention it, the collar might be why I don't feel too stupid wearing it. I'm used to seeing my face sitting above a collar, but the whole thing is obviously feminine which keeps the dysphoria at bay.

Yay, thanks for the update!
