I think I might be trans haha. My days are currently filled with attempted self reflection. But weirdly as much anxiety as I'm having, I feel weirdly good. Which may be a sign.
Good luck figuring it out
Thanks!

High five my internet twin!
High five indeed. I dunno, feel like I need to talk to some trans folx but not sure when I'll actually get the chance lol.
Feel free to make a post here. There's also a link in the community sidebar to the gender dysphoria Bible, which should be helpful sorting through your feelings.
Also I'm on my third read of the dysphoria bible lol. It gives me a lot to think about.
I re-read sections all the time. It shocks me how many things I didnt realize were dysphoria all throughout my life.
Very much so. Idk, it was very weirdly relatable.
Have been thinking about it for a few days now. Will likely happen soon.
I transitioned full time back in 2016. Pm me if you want to talk. I have shared my story with dozens of newly hatched eggs, and talked to hundreds of internet strangers questioning their gender on reddit.
Yes ^^ Just went to my local trans meetup after missing the last couple meetups
Thats nice
Hello! Overall, I've been having a pretty good day. Easy day of work; waiting for things to run. Minecraft during breaks
How about yours?
I am relatively ok
Have a dentist appointment later so thats fun
Nearing the end of my art break so thats a struggle too
Ugh, I'm not a fan of the dentist lol I should go back though
How long has the art break been?
3 weeks
Its been 11 months since I actually took a break from art before this, so Im doing it for my mental health
It's a good call - glad to hear you're taking care of yourself. Burnout can be really paralyzing
Thank you
My day is going well enough. Reading a trippy horror novel, House of Leaves. Looking forward to the weekend tomorrow. I am starting a new roleplay group. Wish me luck.
House of Leaves is fantastic!`
It's a helluva ride.
Good luck fren
