First, I wanna be old.

Second, I want all my thoughts and memories with me.

Third, I wanna live somewhere where the government isn’t hostile to me, and where I’m safe.

It’s a lot to ask.

Things that are part of the trans condition but shouldn't be for $500.

Seriously sister, I don't know there's many of us who don't feel that these days.

It's really sad we're in a place where I also looked at this thread and had the thought, "Am I even going to get to be an old person one day?"

Edinburgh! I'll go to an old people's home if necessary, good way to make friends and reduce stress.

I hear the weather in Scotland is going to improve a lot in the coming decades so this is solid choice

not sure, I guess I hope to euthenize myself when I get old enough, and until then where I live will probably be a result of my circumstances more than anything else.

So maybe live somewhere euthanasia is an option?

I'm more confident than I was in middle school, but I'm still not sure if I'm gonna make it to 20 or not.

if estrogen or college doesn't improve things then idk what else I could change to make life worth living lol

after around 3 months of estrogen I became what I call "irrationally life affirming" - nothing objectively had changed about the world or my circumstances, but I wanted to be alive and felt happy anyway.

let's hope it does the magic for you too, friend 💖

I recently learned about and met some lovely folks involved with a lesbian commune that's been running continuously for over 50 years where some of the current residents are in their 80s. Something like that sounds really nice.

Communes as a retirement option are underrated!! Sounds neat!

I want to retire to the backwoods of Nepal and seek employment as a goat.

You'd be living the dream!

I want to live where I am currently living. The weather is beautiful most of the year, it never gets cold enough for my arthritis to kick in much, and there is SO MUCH to do in this city/county. It is a high cost of living, but I happily pay that to be exactly where I want to be.

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
