I'm always correcting myself.

    It took me a few months and I still hesitate when gendering myself sometimes, but it's hesitation now, not correction. It helps that I'm out full-time now, though and have been for over a month. You'll get there, girl. Just be kind to yourself.

    Functionally useless. With the web standardized, we shouldn't need user agents anyway. It would be more beneficial to ask "do you support X, Y, and Z?"

    I only know how to type my passwords at normal speed correctly. Like, I have to walk through the muscle memory step by step to get a text version of the password and even that's iffy.

    I'm still discovering that myself 😅 It can be hard to find nutritionally balanced snacks, so I like to keep a variety around. Things that I like to have around are popcorn/potato chips, fresh veggies, tortilla chips and salsa, lunch and snack meats, and of course some sweets like gummy candies and chocolate. I try not to eat too much of one thing. If you're thinking about reaching for a whole bag of chips, maybe make a sandwich instead.

    I struggled with disordered eating before HRT. A few weeks in, another trans girl explained to me that the body needs energy to do its thing. It's basically second puberty and you know how much teenagers eat.

    I was like you, being able to eat a couple of meals and be satisfied. Now, I snack more. I also eat smaller meals as it takes less to fill me up. I'm also ~6 months on E, so I've lost some muscle mass. Despite my new eating habits, I've been able to maintain around 70kg at 180cm tall. Meanwhile, my body's been burning the fat buildup from T and packing it onto my butt, thighs, and chest.

    If you want my two cents, try snacking more and just eat when you're hungry. You don't have to eat until you're full, just until you're not uncomfortable anymore. Trust the process and let your body do what it needs to do.

    If you start going in a direction you don't like, you can stop. You might also consult your doctor for advice

    I plan to be early to the point where I get uncomfortably anxious if I leave on time. I set alarms and reminders to remind me that I need to start thinking about getting ready. I try to be ready way ahead of time. I am experiencing this right now.

    Install power mode and you won't be able to stop just idly pressing keys. Eventually, some of those key presses will be useful!

    Maybe submit a GDPR request to get all of your photos from FB in a nice clean package so you can pack them up into cold storage and nuke the albums on the platform entirely.

    Congrats on the self-confidence, my dude! I still fret about my appearance from time to time, but y'know? Yeah, kinda, I know what you mean. Do you smile more? Because happy looking people look more attractive and that might be making you like your photos more.

    My friend and I had a dynamic like that in a campaign. He was playing a dwarf barbarian who only spoke dwarven and I was playing a dwarf witch. When his barbarian would mouth off in dwarven about the party, my character would "translate" to something like, "He wishes you all good luck."

    Hey! I'm glad to hear you're doing well!

    I've been alright. Four months on E as of three days ago! I've recently discovered that I have more support amongst my friends than I initially thought. There are only a few people in my life who haven't actually been supportive and I am grateful for what I have, especially considering how bad some folks have it :(

    Talk about emotional rollercoasters: Last week, I had a mental breakdown on Discord after my roommate opened a discussion about the Olympics. I went off on him, completely misinterpreting his message, and proceeded to unload my fears into the channel. The resulting conversation with all of my friends ended with me transferring ownership of the server to another friend, leaving, and bawling my eyes out for the rest of the evening. I discovered afterwards that my friends do care about me, that I am worthy of love, and that I can share anything with them. I have since properly introduced them to me, Téa, and they've been doing their best to acknowledge my new identity and treat me how I want to be treated. I feel loved and supported. I feel like I can actually face the nay-sayers now, as long as I have my friends behind me.

    Suffice to say, I'm doing pretty well. I'm still getting used to HRT, but it's been going well. I'm seeing progress and my levels are good.

    I wish everyone here a safe and wonderful journey.
