NUSHELL MENTIONED

part of what makes having that conversation so difficult is that I already have been presenting as nb to them and they assume I’m fine with that and I don’t want to have to come out to them again

Are there any safer options that dont have a risk of my parents knowing? Like I’ve mentioned in other replies in this thread I am sure they’d be accepting and I told them I was nb like a year ago to test the waters and they’ve been fine with that I just really am not ready for that conversation

I get that it’s probably a bad idea I just desperately need this and I’m not ready to have that talk with my parents

it’s just that I’m not ready to have that conversation with my parents yet but I need to medically transition as soon as possible. thank you for the resource

I’m kind of out to my parents they know that I go by a different name and I’ve only told them that I’m nonbinary. they seem to be supportive of my sister who’s lesbian as well. I don’t know if I can deal with being forced through more therapy to get hrt because my mental health has been in the gutter for the past 3 years and I would preferably not have to “prove” to a cis person that I have severe gender dysphoria

the issue with being in the US is with his things are right now I’m worried that the “good care” could get taken away very soon bc of the current politics situation. I don’t really know much about how the clinical stuff works besides if you dont get it through planned parenthood you have to be diagnosed and it’s a huge wait but I might be completely wrong

he can merge without looking

I want graphine on my phone so badly but I can’t because it’s carrier locked :(

fr having jellyfin for music and also shows and just pirating them is great :)

and that’s how I lost my medical license!

Mastodon is still federated and while there are going to be some instances run by bad actors the majority of them aren’t as bad. From what I understand at least mastodon.social is defederated with the bad instances anyway so we can’t interact with each other but I may be wrong I’m kind of new to this type of platform

I LOVE SELF HOSTING

Yeah. If you want an alternative I’d recommend mastodon because from what I’ve seen at least it’s not as brain dead

I really appreciate the advice I think I’m gonna just try buying some fem clothes tomorrow

Any idea how I could find some trans communities irl? I live in a city but I don’t know how to look for those types of groups and this is sort of the first time I’ve gone and actually not lurked and said something on a specifically trans community

What resources would you recommend specifically for figuring out how to get hrt? I am more willing to take the steps after learning how important it is but I still am unsure especially because as far as I know unless you do diy which is risky you have to go through the medical system which takes really long and also has diagnosis and also that migjt not be a great idea to me bc of current politics

Thank you for the info. I originally thought that the body changing stuff just ended once you become an adult kind of like puberty and knowing that is really helpful. For the mental stuff I already have the first 3 and some other issues but I really don’t want night terrors if that’s a common issue so I’ll try to do it soon. Also I have already read the dysphoria bible and I reread specific sections when I have imposter syndrome to reassure me but thank you anyway <3
