No, you’re right - a large part of my recent panic has been “what if this destroys my family”, and I know that’s still on the cards. I thought about how I’d have reacted in the past if she’d come out as a trans man (probably very badly, although I’d be fine with it now), but eh, we’ve had our crises in the past (more than a few caused by my unhappiness) and pulled through. Que sera sera, and I’m cool with that.
Thanks for the kind words. To be fair I framed it more as “I’m thinking about trying this out” rather than “I’m gonna be a girl now”, but here’s hoping she comes around.
Sempai, that’s awesome!
I know! This could be a really good bonding experience.
Hehe. I’m so glad to hear your wife supported your transition.
Thanks!
I should make it clear I didn’t mean to imply that men can’t wear makeup, just that this… err, character is interested in the girly kind.
Hello! Totally get it about the body hair. Up until recently I was very anti-hair removal (anything cosmetic really), but now I realize that was just jealousy :P In the before times, I’d shave my pits every so often, but I didn’t really know why and felt shameful. This week I’ve been taking long showers with a razor, and it’s fabulous!
Since I’m new here perhaps I should share my story (I’ll save the “so obvious in hindsight” episodes for another time).
T minus two years: Follow a link to Contrapoints for analysis on the alt-right, end up watching pretty much everything. Huh, gender philosophy is quite interesting.
T minus one year: one of Azul Crescent’s comics pops up in the global Mastodon feed. It’s cute so I start following. Wait, is this a trans comic? Probably shouldn’t be reading this, but …
T minus two weeks: strangely fascinated with the daily posts. Huh, so this is what trans women are like? Must be nice to grow boobs (SUPPRESS THOUGHT). Still don’t really get the comic though, perhaps I’d better read it from the beginning.
T minus one week: aww, that’s so sweet, wish I was like Cheryl (SUPPRESS HARDER). Oh, hey, she has a youtube channel talking about trans stuff. What’s egg_irl?
Google.
Scroll.
Oh. Oh no. Oh noooooooo.
Today: egg fully cracked.
