I've been lurking in trans meme communities for 6 years without knowing, but this is the year I learn about the pumpkin thing 😭
Went to a geeky queer event, yay!
Got overwhelmed and now Im dysphoric, not so yay.
But actually going out to a thing and say hi was pretty neat.
Happened to a friend. His teacher had problems with the class room pc and he knew a quick cmd line fix so he asked if he could help. Teacher started screaming that he was hacking the pc, took him to the principal and called his parents.
Fortunally everyone could see how stupid it was, and he promised his parents to not offer his help again...
My mirror is broken, it usually throws punches instead of hugs...
(I'm working on it)
If you can afford it, it sounds like going to a therapist to unravel your feelings and possible trauma could be worth it. A good one will not tell you if you are trans, just help you along the way. If you can't then some lgbt groups offer help to questioning people too.
You don't have to rush it just because the vial might expire. Do it on your own time, experiment with other things (thought experiments, clothes...) if jumping to hormones is too much. Remember that it's not a magic juice that instantly turns you girly, you can always stop if you feel weird on it.
Also, do you trust her this much? I'm a trans woman on DIY but I'm getting mine from a source I've seen other buy from and talk good about. You also need to spend some time researching doses and what blood tests to do first too.
Unexpected e pro: way more confident
Unexpected e con: I lost 1 cm of height! I can no longer stare you down from 200 cm and 199 is just not the same :(
People here are apparently either foss neckbeards or transfems/femboys, and they are all valid.
Trans dev here, I hear that hacker spaces aren't bad places to look. I wouldn't know though, too shy to actually show up -.-
I feel like I should have found other trans people to talk with irl earlier. I don't think I was fully ready until recently tho.
But you should probably touch it before all the dependencies are outdated. And before everyone who understands how to work with it has left. Especially if it happens to be core to the business.

For halvanden uges tid siden lavede @renard_roux@beehaw.org en tråd om en hjemmeside som tracker priser på varer i østrigske supermarkeder.
Jeg delte lidt overvejelser om det overhovedet var muligt at lave noget lignende for danske supermarkeder på Mastodon, og pludseligt havde folk sendt mig url'er hvor man kunne hente produkter fra adskillige kæder ud over den som renard_roux havde fundet, så nu har jeg lavet en dansk version her: https://heissepreise.leonora.app/ baseret på det østrigske projekt.
Der mangler stadig lidt detaljer og oversættelser, og har ikke fundet en måde at få Coops priser, men ikke værst syntes jeg.
Same whenever there's a freight truck from a company named like SuperTrans, EuroTrans, MegaTrans...
