I'm pretty sure it didn't, because of the direction of the pull. I've had long hair for like 20 years so I'm used to what it can get stuck in and what that feels like.

I could need some feedback on an experience that I'm overthinking...

I was at a concert a week ago. I'm kinda tall so I stand to the side to not be too much on the way, but still dancing/jumping and having a good time. Generally I don't pass, but I was wearing fairly feminine clothes. At some point something kinda pulls a hair stand from behind? So I jump around and see a guy just sorta grinning awkwardly/maybe embarrassed at the floor. I don't really know what he's doing so I just stare him down for another moment and get back to the music.

So, uh, what did he want? It kinda reminds me of boys trying to get girls attention in kindergarten-kind of logic. Did I pass? Was it rude to use my height like that? So many useless questions!

Feeling really dysphoric about it for some reason too:/

Where does "it used to work, but now it doesn't, and I don't understand how it could ever have worked" fit in?

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 :(

I thought r/suddenly_trans was a odd funny subreddit, and one day someone linked to egg_irl in the comments and guess that's how I finally understood what being trans could mean - that was a very long weekend with a lot of thinking about all the signs that I didn't see :D

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 -.-

What are the preferred alternatives?

Mine is probably matrix, mostly because I can use the same account everywhere, but it also feels like there's a lot of gotchas and all the phone apps are kinda meh each in their own unique way.

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.
