Crossdressing, Transgender & Allies Discussion: New Look, Same Dysphoria - General

i'm getting titty skittles this year hopefully

Georgia has no laws on insurance requiring to cover transition related care, and if they are on medicaid, they explicitly forbid it. I really wouldn't count on insurance unless you find one that explicitly allows it or doesn't have any forbidding in their policy because legally they don't have to cover it at all. What's the issues with the doctor? You should probably want to see a surgeon specializing in that issue, usually stuff like plastic surgery clinics seem to have it.

Kaiser (their insurance), to my knowledge, atleast covers basic HRT and the site does mention surgical coverge. Going beyond that the doctor seems to be very slow about approving for surgery. To my knowledge, my SO has researched a few surgeons that are covered by Kaiser but after several evaluations, the approval process hasn't moved anywhere in the past three months.

Fuck that put me in a bad mood. Why can't shitty people like that just disappear? I'm really sorry to hear you're going through that, I'm around if you need anyone to talk to. Please remember that those awful people don't change you, or make you less of a person. Stay strong out there, it's not worth the energy to even acknowledge them if they try that shit. Well, on a lighter note... Bought a skull cap and some nice proper long socks because of this thread! Socks feel especially wonderful! Probably only going to go stealth with them though, but no biggy, they're just for me anyways. Beanie should do a good job of hiding my increasingly crap hair too.

I wanted a long beanie to hide my hair, but...I'm kinda vain and like my curly hair free and open.

My hair is finally getting long, maybe soon I'll be able to actually do something with it

I've found myself being a lot more nervous around some guys tbh, i dunno if its due to shitty past experiences but its gotten a little worse on e

One of the things I hate most about presenting male is that lots of people probably feel threatened or at least a little bit cautious about my very presence.

Wish that were me tbh. Will trade you.

The scariest Pascall I'm just a huge creep/weakling, so nobody is threatened by my presence. So I guess it works

I'd trade literally everything to be basically a deathclaw in real life but that's just me.

This clip from the office kind of describes a lot of new Transgender people. Just replace Bankruptcy with Woman/Man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuZeff2y32M

This right here is why I feel like I missed out on having a childhood. I can't connect with guys as well as I connect with girls but growing up male, I never could have friendships with them as closely as I wanted. So I embedded myself in guy culture as much as I could, despite how unhappy it made me.

ha ha dysphoria so bad i cant shave my face but it also makes it worse ha ha

ty for the coin @Vaught 🤗

Have another because why not Also you're welcome!

I wish I friends who are girls in person, it would make me so happy to be part of a group of girls for once in my life. :<

I think my thighs are too big for the rainbow socks weh

Just keep in mind that the only acceptable thing to do around men is to either menacingly stare into distance or to immediately challenge them to a mutual punching contest, any deviation from those two practices is regarded as incompatible. Waking them up from sleep with a baseball bat or an airhorn is also occasionally acceptable, but must be quickly remedied with immediately inviting them to a punching contest as soon as they wake up from it. If they pass out from the punches it is your responsibility to wake them up to an airhorn again and challenge them to a second punching contest. If they start to menacingly stare into distance instead that means that they are not interested.

you joke but this is legitimately what pretending to be male is like for me. YES HAHA YES, PENISES MY DUDES AM I RIGHT? LET'S GET TOGETHER AND TALK ABOUT HOW STRAIGHT WE ARE I really look forward to the day when I can stop fucking pretending because every day just feels like I'm being ground down into dust

oh crap, I am behind my three hour staring menacingly into distance quota, I also haven't punched anyone in over 30 seconds, that is not good.

I just want to stop having to pretend it isn't fun

I feel you, i've been out to my family but whenever I go out in public I have to just put on a face It's awful

Have my part time interview today but I might be getting hooked up with an interview for a full time job as well. Pros to the part time is that it leaves me room to sleep in on some days and also continue to do my freelancing and contract work. It also has a little more to do with my degree. Cons is that it prrooobably pays less and no benefits. Pros to the full time is that it's $16/hr and has full benefits but cons are that it's monday thru friday, 9-6 and I'm not accustomed to working full time yet. Plus it wouldn't really leave me a whole lot of energy to get my freelancing work done and has absolute nothing to do with my degree. So whooo knows, I'm gonna just try to play it by ear and weigh my options as best as I can.

y the fuck do epilators hurt so much

A coworker of mine has one of those, too! She got them from https://www.selfdefenseproducts.com/wild-kat-keychains/ I don't know how shipping outside the US is, but it's a US based company. You can search for "cat self defense keychain" to find them.

Wasted my time at the job interview. I'm an artist/designer and they were looking for a programmer despite not specifying that in the job description. No idea why they called me in??? Incredibly annoying. https://www.selfdefenseproducts.com/wild-kat-keychains/

It's fascinating how the same principle that applies to bodybuilding can apply to a girl trying to be prettier, it makes you inevitably notice certain existential cycles in life.

More like all the dang time ;-;

Judging by the post it seems that appears to be the case regardless of the generation I think. Maybe even if a bigoted Ku Klux Klan Neo Nazi member who starts to work out in a truly hardcore manner would abandon his ways and replace them with massive muscles instead.
