I've never really felt fully comfortable being open about myself on big platforms like Reddit, but on here it feels a lot safer, especially since adopting better digital hygiene.

So I'm just kinda saying it explicitly for the first time that I'm a trans girl. I like myself, I like my body, even if it's not perfect yet, and I like being pretty. I'm even slowly coming out more and more in real life too! Idk, everyone congratulate me or something haha

Things are hard, but I like how accepting the federated side of the internet has been so far to me.

Locking due to continued transphobic comments.

Congratulations again Kaity!

Congratulations! πŸ’ Do you know how few people can say they like themselves and their bodies? Good for you for doing the hard work to be able to say that!

[-] androidul@lemmy.ml 26 points 7 months ago

as long as you feel good and you love yourself that’s what matters, these are healthy thoughts.

Keep it up 😎

Congrats Kaityy, you go girl! No matter where your journey takes you and who you discovery yourself to be, I hope that you are always able to love yourself. When others are cruel, may you turn around and love them back with the same love we have for you. Life is a hard road, but feel the strength of every one of your grandmothers give you courage to lift your head up to face the new dawn. May all of their combined compassion, love, wisdom, and bravery be imbued in you, their newest daughter, and our newest sister, forever.

So happy for you!

Seems like you got the identity part figured out. The hard part is getting to feel comfortable being yourself within your environment. This part of the internet is a safe place, but it also provides a false sense of security. Real life is where the real battle is, and a lot of us are probably going through the exact same thing where real life is either too scary or too unfriendly for you to feel comfortable as yourself right now. At least that's what it's like for me.

Digital hygiene is actually the reason I started a dedicated account here, to fully express myself on some topics that I might not want others digging through my post history for. Though the ultimate goal is no longer needing this account.

Spend as much time as you can doing stuff that makes you feel pretty. Everyone deserves to look in a mirror and to smile at their own reflection!
