Limestone is a common type of sedimentary rock which I find uncommonly interesting! It's mostly calcium carbonate, which is also what eggshells πŸ₯š, seashells 🐚, and pearls πŸ¦ͺ are made out of.

In places where it rains a lot, limestone erodes easily, which results in simply gorgeous landscapes such as:

HαΊ‘ Long Bay in Vietnam

Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park in Madagascar

The Li River in China

Additionally, the world's longest (Mammoth) and deepest (~~Veryovkina~~ Krubera is once again the world's deepest cave, thank you to SockOlm for pointing that out) cave systems are both found in limestone formations

Mammoth Cave in the United States

Veryovkina Cave in Georgia/Abkhazia/Russia (disputed territory)

im-fuckin-gay i can get on the waiting list for bottom surgery soon. i could have a pussy in (in the grand scheme of things) not too distant future holy fuck i'm getting chills just thinking about it

EDIT: okay thanks for the "congrats" everyone but i think i should clarify that i haven't even done like, anything at all to prep for this or research anything, this is just me realizing "i could probably start making those phone calls at this point in my transition". didn't mean to state that like, anything really happened to me beyond hitting the 1 year HRT mark, almost

sadposting, suicideWell, we're suicidal again. We had hoped that it was finally gone after starting HRT, and it was for a time, but looks like we are right back where we started mentally. *sigh*

Maybe it's just due to a bunch of traumas getting triggered today, but we doubt it given it's been like this for the last week or so and it seems to be getting worse not better.

We've also had to come to terms with the fact that trying to have a community is futile. All attempts at doing so have proved pointless and a net negative in the end. We are just too good at making everybody hate us we guess.

We guess that's kind of why we are posting this here, don't really have anywhere else to go. No community to be had. All of the friends that say "If you need me I'll be here for you" are nowhere to be found, as usual. We don't blame them, we are too much to handle and we know that. We can't even handle ourselves. Even if they were there they would just say they can't talk about this.

spoiler extra suicide and sadposting We really just don't see the point in being alive. Between our many disabilities and trauma we will never be functional, let alone happy. Better off just dying now than going through even more pain just to die later. Nobody would really miss us anyway.

Sorry for wasting everybody's time writing this post. We try and keep it positive but we just don't really care anymore. :::

doubt/doompostingkeep trying to subtly hint that I might be trans to my trans friend but she won't violate the prime directive (or more likely, my "hints" are way too subtle). god I'm such a coward. I'm so deep in the closet I'm not even out to myself. and now with everything going to hell in a handbasket I don't know if I'll ever be out, not if I'm still living here anyway. even writing this I feel like I'm committing fraud by posting in this thread madeline-sadeline

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

spoilercat-trans I'm terrified of coming out. So far I've come out to two people, both of whom I am able to cut out of my life instantly and without effecting anyone else in my life (no mutuals etc). That's obviously a lot of control to be able to have over the situation. I'm terrified of more. Anyway I guess I'm just saying I understand. This is probably the scariest thing I have ever felt. Anything from- I guess private life making it into the public, especially things people might judge you for is really hard.

I think you should though cat-trans having people know is really nice when they're supportive and I'm sure your friend would be.

Went out today wearing a sports bra. I am 90% sure that everyone could see a conspicuous roundness in my chest area, but nobody commented.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (5 children)

At least you’re smart enough to wear one. Earlier in my transition, when I was still somewhat masc presenting, I once had the glorious idea of going on a hike without one, because it was really hot outside.

The top of the mountain was quite crowded and while I was enjoying the view, I started to notice that the people there were looking at me in a funny way, especially the children. At the time I thought it was because I was wearing a headband to keep my hair at bay, which made me look very feminine for a "man". Until I saw the photos afterwards...

You could see EVERYTHING! distress 2 little boobs poking out of my shirt in all their feminine glory.

I never realized until then how visible they were, because of them growing so slowly. But after giving those people a little genderfuckery show, I started taking my mom’s advice of wearing bras more seriously.

Update on coming out to my friend. I haven't seen much of her in a few years but still counts. She's proud of me, glad I told her, and I got to tell someone else my name. (which she loves for me and I am riding that wave, holy hell I forgot how much I like having my name complimented). She's actually got a trans member of her extended family, which I didn't know about. So yea, very nice to get to talk with her about it a bit.

I still (kind of, complicated obviously) come out to my main irl friend. Don't know when that will happen though.

caught in a weird spot right now

i'm going to have been on HRT for a year now in about 3 weeks

I always told myself "don't sweat looking into any of the big surgeries yet. you're still pretty new on HRT and won't have to worry about this for a while. this is a problem for future you"

but now i am future me. i have about reached the time to where i can do the fun t girl surgeries now. it probably is about time to start looking into getting my surgeries. that wait list isn't going to be getting any shorter

fuck i'm gonna have to start making calls now, aren't i?

fuck, now's the time...

dysphoria posting, state of the world postingi dont have a lot of days anymore where i cant look at myself in the mirror, even, or where i feel totally disgusting. i've been transitioned a long time, i dont get misgendered like anywhere, but...

today is one of those days. i think something about the way the world is attacking us is really getting to my sense of self and making me feel like all of the bad things the shitheads call us, and also in therapy yesterday i kind of opened a pandora's box of a lot of the trauma i went through as a child that i usually cover up with jokes and generally repress, even without realizing it. my therapist seems to think i have some kind of ptsd, surprisingly. i was just forced to do some surgeries against my consent, its nbd, really, at least i can walk now

anyway w/e today is clearly a write-off, maybe tomorrow will be better

hitting up different FFS surgeons for consultations and asking them increasingly absurd requests for what to do with my face just to see what I can get away with because I'm bored

"okay yeah, feminize everything about me EXCEPT my jaw and chin. give me a super defined, broad jawline like those gigachad meme and make my chin stick out like the crimson fucking chin"

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (2 children)

You're joking, but this is an actual problem. Particularly if you ask them not to fuck with certain features.

See, the issue is, when most ffs surgeons say "feminine" they mean "white." Which is fine if you're white, but if you have """ethnic""" features, and you say do not fuck with my ethnic features, they will tell you that you're impossible to feminize, then.

Do people ever go from prescription to DIY HRT? I'm thinking of doing so. I'm on prescription, but I already have all the stuff I need to start DIY, and I'm not happy with the prescription system rn, so I'm thinking on just switching already. There's:

  • the general inconvenience of dealing with bureaucracies to sign off on your shit every few months. the very last refill involved me going back and forth with the doctor and pharmacy for a few days before I could pick it up.
  • the awkwardness of picking up estrogen as someone who still presents male in public. I guess this will theoretically go away when I eventually start making more changes in how I look...
  • I temporarily got cut off last week because the people running PP AZ are a bunch of hoes for trump, and I don't trust that this won't happen again in the long term. To me, this to me is the strongest reason.
  • Price - I pay like $33ish per month for what I'm prescribed, but a $75 vial of injectable estradiol should last me at least 6 months, if not more.

I'm probably still going to stick with PP so I can get blood tests, and advice, and prescriptions for other things as needed (like progesterone if/when the time comes, or estradiol if my DIY sources abruptly shut down).

Also if I do switch, should I bother getting hormone levels tested right before switching? I'm due for the first one since I started only a few months ago, but I've read that switching methods can change hormone levels, so I feel like whatever measurements I might get would be meaningless in the long run if I switch.

Work was stressful, but had a great evening. Tried out a new makeup tutorial and a half-dozen outfits/tops. Shared the photos with friends/dates and got a lot of validation.

NSFW: Masturbation, genitalsRelated to a conversation in the last thread, I achieved my first stroke-free orgasm today. Used a vibrator with the thing well tucked/wearing tights, along with some other techniques to get me in the mood. Really enjoyed it.

Well, I am out at work now. Had a meeting with the director and HR, who were both supportive. Dressed full femme (with a padded bra) as well as a trans pride flag pin and pronoun pins. Didn't get any questions at the weekly coffee break thing, but everyone should be in the know.
