Years after the convoy, Ottawa residents are 'reclaiming' the Canadian flag by Willowthewisp in c/canada@lemmy.ca

I don’t know what they did in Ottawa but they ruined the flag for us here in BC too. Whenever I see it on a vehicle I think they’re probably a terrible person.

Does this idiot not realize all of his “American” cars are made in Mexico and then imported??

GOP advances bill that would allow Nazi flags while banning Pride flags by Willowthewisp in c/lgbtq_plus

“The pride flag pushes a political agenda” and the nazi/confederate flags don’t?!

Oh you mean the one run by a conservative who’s a massive bigot? Greaaaaat.

Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy by Willowthewisp in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

Uh yeah. I’ve got no clue how to find new communities? Instances? Groups? Whatever the hell the equivalent of a subreddit is called. It’s not user friendly at all.

CW: Harry Potter. What's your stance on JK Rowling and Hogwarts Legacy by Willowthewisp in c/mtf

I was a big fan of the franchise so it hurts but I have stopped supporting her in any way shape or form. My partner put on Fantastic Beasts the other day and I didn't say anything because I didn't feel like getting into it. I won't stop other people because I understand the nostalgia.

Epilator recommendations? by Willowthewisp in c/mtf

I'll third the Braun silk epil 9. It's great, battery life has never been an issue for me. Just make sure you charge it after every use.

Growing my hair, I seem to be now entering... The Awkward Stage™ by Willowthewisp in c/mtf

[-] Willowthewisp 7 points 2 years ago

The awkward phases can be very annoying but it's definitely worth it to battle through them. The first time I grew my hair I cut it because I couldn't stand it getting in my eyes all the time. I definitely regret that. It's past my shoulders now though and it's amazing.

Why is everything a subscription now? by Willowthewisp in c/transmemes

[-] Willowthewisp 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Eh I don't like it. There are more than enough subscriptions with many more to come I'm afraid. But yeah, that's accurate.

Indefinitely forgoing transition by Willowthewisp in c/mtf

[-] Willowthewisp 19 points 2 years ago

See you in 10 or 20 years when you are writing a long post about how much you regret this decision and all of the time you wasted. All you have to do is look at the many MANY other posts of people who did what you are planning on doing and regret it big time to know its true.

Talks with family (self.mtf)

Last night my fiancée told me that she is very happy for me for figuring myself out and that she doesn't feel that we need couples counseling relating to my transition anymore which is exciting. She did say that she has realized the main problem she was having is that she is mourning the past. She mentioned one of her favorite early memories of us was me wrapping my manly (eww) arms around her from behind. She realizes that these are just that, memories and she'll have to get used to things being different moving forward.

Today met my mom at Starbucks and got my first ever Starbucks drink at age 28 and she asked me about my transition. I had previously come out to my whole family as non-binary and said that I may transition in the future. She is under a lot of stress from other things right now so my transition has been an extra thing on her mind recently and has been upsetting her a lot. This is fair, I understand that it's not just a big deal for me but also for everyone around me and I have been careful because of that.

My 6 years younger brother transitioned years ago and being young he was rather aggressive about it, it was a "get used to it or get lost" kind of thing which I understand, if I figured out I was trans as a teenager I might have been like that too. My mom was worried that I might be like that so I reassured her that is not the case, I am older and more mature and we can all be adults about it but I also need to do what's right for me.

Before I met her I wasn't sure if I was going to bring up my transition. I like to be thorough and only update people when I am sure about it and I had been thinking of waiting until I had been on HRT for a bit and was certain about it before giving my family an update. I am glad we talked about it now though. I don't have to worry about it aside from know how stressed my mom is in general and that I'm contributing to that. It is what it is though, I'm not slowing down for my family. I just told her that my fiancée is using she/her with me now but my mom and family can keep using they/them for now.
