I've had amazing success with the tucking panties from tcomfifits. I just can't do the tape method, and these always hold everything in place when I'm out! I'll wear them the entire day and rarely feel any discomfort. My only wish is that they had a few more styles, buuut I received an email from them recently that made it seem like they might be expanding their options!

My friends despised my Elvish Piper deck since it could easily summon creatures like this ๐Ÿคญ Especially when they were playing mono colored decks and I just pipered out Iona, Shield of Emeria.

When I was growing up I sooo had this! It was a universe that had every character I liked from books, shows, movies, comics, etc. It lasted for well over a decade, but it became super draining on my mind as I got older since I couldn't turn it off... And, most likely autism driven, I would often verbalize the sounds and actions playing in my mind. It took a lot of mental effort to finally end the story!

It will obviously vary, but I've been on HRT for a little over a year and started it late-ish (in my early 30s). I personally can say my face has femminized a fair amount - obviously my bone structure hasn't changed, but my eyes are slightly wider and softer, cheeks a bit fuller with fat sitting in a different place, skin GLOWS. There's obviously features that I would love to see change more/at all, but I'm much happier looking at myself in the mirror and in photos ๐Ÿฉท I've also been getting laser hair removal for my facial hair along with other parts of my body. My friends and people I see occasionally for errands often have incredibly kind things to say about the changes they've been seeing over the year.

I did try one of those apps a few times and things didn't necessarily click for me since they kind of added makeup over my face. I personally want to be happy with my face without makeup, so I didn't feel they were showing a version of myself I wanted to see.

Omg... I'm the exact same...I so envy people who keep hobbies or interests for decades.

I use patches alongside spiro and progesterone. I can't recommend patches enough! Injections give me crazy dysphoria, so I turned that option down immediately.

Yesss! I order from Etsy shops, enamel pin creators, and other independent artists super often and they always pack everything soooo cute. I have a shelf in one of my cabinets with all their little baggies and boxes that I use to store and organize various things. They are so handy!

Sooo cute! I have a pair of stuffed bunnies that I cuddle to sleep with ๐Ÿฉท I can microwave them/heat them up when I really need something warm and calming. I hope you enjoy your new friend ๐Ÿ‡

A month or so ago, I was debating if I wanted to upgrade/build a new PC. I eventually decided that if I waited any longer, I'd not just be paying more but might also lose access to certain components I had my eye on- their Y70 Touch Infinite cases being one of those. Super happy I decided to go for it since everything has increased in price, and it seems like we'll be seeing less of many things from overseas.... also it turned out sooo beautiful!

This is kind of the logic that hurts me. People like me will express that those terms make them uncomfortable, but someone will argue that they'll use gendered words with the intent to be gender neutral. But like...it's not very empathetic to disregard someone's feelings because using 'girl' is uncomfortable. It's kind of putting your feelings above there's. If you have the opportunity to be kind and affirming, to make someone feel safe and comfortable in the world, why not embrace that? A simple change in your language could make someone's entire day.

My long-time friend and hair stylist very occasionally uses that with me and her other girl friends. She uses it super occasionally and in such a loving way that it doesn't bother me as much. It's very context dependent with her since she's so caring and affirming to me and usually uses girl, sis, beautiful, babe, etc. If someone I didn't know used that with me, I'd probably understand it's being used in a gender-neutral way, but it originates from 'homeboy', so it still carries that slight weight.

Soooo much appreciation for this ๐Ÿฉท I think I'll forever mentally twitch when people use dude, man, mate, bro, etc. towards me. I totally know it's done in a gender neutral way, but I still feel a small pang in my heart.
