Honestly I still can't believe this is actually happening...

Random updates, and first HRT tomorrow (!!!) by CookedOmelet in c/mtf

Thanks.

It's good to know I'm not the only one who felt initially weird about the new pronouns and name.

I haven't posted anything in a while, but a lot has happened.

I lost my job due to a mass layoff, the timing sucked so much, but I have some runway from the severance package, so it's not all bad.
I got therapy after all, and it helps a bit.... but I also think I need a different therapist.
I came out to my close friend groups, and they have been very supportive.
Voice training has been going well, I've made some crazy progress in only 2 months, and I have a pretty dark/raspy voice.
Getting called she/her and my girl name (that I chose), still feels weird, giving me doubts about it all.
Still super excited for HRT tomorrow, so.... lol at the doubts.

Anyways thanks for reading all this.

Before my egg cracked, I was about to make a dumb joke to them, like "welcome to the patriarchy". Now I don't even know what to say haha.

Nail polish tips for absolute noob? by CookedOmelet in c/mtf

[-] CookedOmelet 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I'm not an expert but I have some experience now, from learning as a total beginner for about a year.

Nail polish that comes with a good brush helps a decent amount, I really like the ones from ILNP.

Don't be afraid to make mistakes and start over, you can use a fine tipped dry brush or just paper towel+acetone to fix mistakes. A toothpick or a small wooden dowel can be used to cleanup the edges. Practice practice practice.

And yeah like others have said, it's better to apply to 2 coats of color, and then maybe a top clear coat.

Gender affirmation before diagnosis by CookedOmelet in c/mtf

[-] CookedOmelet 5 points 2 months ago

Hi, congrats!

I find every little bit of self affirmation helps, start small, go at your own pace.

You got this ♡

I feel like I'm about to be in a similar place soon.

My egg just cracked after boymoding without much issue for 35 years. I'm initially feeling great but also having moments of doubt.

Anxious but excited to work through it, "imposter syndrome" and all. I hope for the best in your journey too.

My egg finally cracked, or more like it has been cooking for a while and now it is finally done?

I turned 35 recently and despite all the really obvious signs over many many years - into gender bender anime/manga, occasional crossdressing for "fun" at home, is it just a kink? huge Miku fan, do I like her / want to be her? etc. I always kind of just compartmentalized it as a kink mostly. And I have a pretty stable life atm, I'm doing well, but maybe I felt a few things didn't fit.

I've always been slow with my feelings, but I've been reading all these experiences on egg_irl and transmemes lately. Especially Brook2Valley comics, and these memes/posts below really resonated.

I did some broader research to really confirm things for myself and damn, just admitting it finally felt euphoric. So much that I couldn't sleep and apparently it has fixed my ADHD.

I'm not even remotely ready to share with my irl friends yet, but I started looking at health care options locally that are trans friendly.
