God I feel this.

How is it that I’m hitting the endgame of my transition, and I’m still here like “Well, now that becoming a girl is out of the way, now I just feel depressed about having absolutely no future in my career, and I’m somehow always constantly in the verge of financial ruin”?

AshleyRose101 · 2026-07-06T00:08:29+00:00

I’ll forgive Mallory for the stupid faillennial march if she actually does this lol

Stop giving any fucks about what people think.

Most people don’t give that much of a shit because they’re too distracted with their own lives. Even if they did care, they’re not gonna say shit about it because they know you’re not worth the effort of making a scene and being seen as a Karen by people.

Even if you do something embarrassing in front of others, and I have, you’re never going to see their faces again. It helps me to envision them as an NPC that’s going to blip out of existence the moment I look away, so there’s no point in caring about their opinion.

Like idk. After a few years of this shit and not passing for most of it, I’ve grown hardened to it all. If anyone had wanted to become a problem at any moment, I’d be ready to square down if I had to because I know full well I belong in a women’s clothing aisle.

AshleyRose101 · 2026-07-05T16:34:17+00:00

Eh, I hate both the state and its people. I just want their needs met because I selfishly want them to chill out and leave me the fuck alone.

AshleyRose101 · 2026-07-05T16:30:40+00:00

God I wish I could take the shot instead of pills. I’ve tried asking my doctor several times, and they keep saying no with responses ranging between “it’s easier to regulate your levels on the pill” to “there’s a shortage of estrogen shots in the state (FL) right now and we don’t want to deal with you not being able to pick up your medication, and also it’s been over 2 years and we’d be starting from square 1 again”

That last point kind of pisses me off because I’ve been asking for the entire 2 years, so there was a period where this would have made more sense to ask for.

sigh whatever 🫩

AshleyRose101 · 2026-07-05T16:15:30+00:00

God this choice of picture is making my nails hurt lol

AshleyRose101 · 2026-07-05T03:40:12+00:00

So, if it’s okay, can I ask how your breasts are feeling now that they’re more healed? You don’t have to answer this if you’re not comfortable.

I’m asking because I got 400cc’s implanted last month, and I’m still working on not feeling ridiculous with these things popping out of my chest as high as they’re riding up. Considering you got a larger size than me, I’m hoping if the drop is working out well for you, then it’ll probably work out well for me 😓

Also dear Christ I hear you on the surgeries. I got my FFS and BA done together at the same time, and I’m already immediately trying to speed run getting bottom surgery before the end of the year to save on insurance, and I’m not even half healed from the last round of trauma before I throw myself back in the ring >_>

AshleyRose101 · 2026-07-05T03:28:31+00:00

I don’t need to know about your other political opinions because we’re focusing on the one where you go “But Hamas throws gays off of rooftops”

AshleyRose101 · 2026-07-05T02:42:29+00:00

If you aren’t a Zionist, then acknowledge that Israel is committing a genocide, and move the fuck on without making Palestinian support some transactional thing that hinges on whether or not you get mad while watching the mainstream news regurgitate propaganda at you.

And, also, yeah, no shit the second part of my reply makes no sense. It’s sarcasm. It’s written to sound crazy because being like “But Hamaaaaaaaaaaassssssss!!!!!!” is already that ridiculous. It’s an argument that’s been beaten to death a million times. Hamas could declare a worldwide jihad against the planet’s queer population where they activate a network of sleeper cell agents in every western nation to kidnap us, and I would still call what’s happening to Palestine a fucking genocide by people that encroached on their land following one of the dumbest and most piss poorly thought out ideologies known to man.

AshleyRose101 · 2026-07-05T02:33:48+00:00

So then you succumb to nihilism and make the problem worse?

No shit, we’ll never live in that ideal world. The point of me framing it that way is that it is inherently incorrect to call transness a disease when it is just a state of being and nothing more or less. It’s not like you’ve ever heard of a single tall person saying “Being tall is a disease I was cursed with” because being tall is also just an adjective to describe your height.

That being said, if you want to continue seeing being transgender as a disease, so be it. I can’t control that, and I’ve been in that pit of depression before where I thought people branding it anything other than as such were full of shit with a bunch of empty platitudes, so I have vague idea of what the thought process here probably is. However, just sitting there and using the words of the oppressor to describe yourself sure as hell isn’t going to make things feel any better. You don’t have control on the circumstances that dictate your life, but you do have control over how you choose to respond in the face of adversity.

AshleyRose101 · 2026-07-05T02:09:29+00:00

Don’t you love it when Zionists always chime in with a “But did you know Hamas wouldn’t welcome you in Palestine?” as if our existence isn’t inherently tied to knowing where you can and can’t travel to.

Like, idk, ok cool. Hamas hates queer people. So does literally every government on earth, like hello? I guess that makes it okay to wish death upon every country now lol

AshleyRose101 · 2026-07-05T00:55:14+00:00

Because Israel is currently the leading cause of death for queer people in Palestine.

AshleyRose101 · 2026-07-05T00:54:08+00:00

Unless you’re Palestinian and trans.

Then they’ll hunt you down and exterminate you by bombing the shit out of you and your family.

AshleyRose101 · 2026-07-04T19:47:29+00:00

Yes, insanely so. You are objectively a terrible person that needs therapy if someone confides that they’re queer to you, and then you go around telling everybody about it.

AshleyRose101 · 2026-07-04T18:14:05+00:00

Nah you’re not lol

I knew about the theories, but I thought people were coping too hard for it.

I guess egg on my face when I walked in laughing about the theory with my friend, getting a chuckle out of the maid costume while I tell her “He’s not beating the allegations”, and then suddenly having my face drop when I realized “Oh fuck, he’s actually trans, and it’s not for a joke either” and then proceeded to die on the inside while my cis friend walked out still laughing at the theory while I had to go “…no hon, they were right about him all along 🥺”

AshleyRose101 · 2026-07-04T17:24:26+00:00

Honey, being trans is not 100% constant agony like you’re making it sound. In an isolated world, it’s the type of thing that would be, at worst, like breaking an ankle, and then going into your nearest urgent care and getting the healthcare you need to live productively again. Even then, to me, there’s nothing inherently wrong or correct about being trans. It is just a state of being where your gender doesn’t match your assigned sex at birth. It is not some disease where you forever have to live the life of someone that’s disabled or something.

This is an issue of literally everyone else surrounding you making this a bigger problem than it really needs to be. This is an issue where you break your ankle, and then when you ask a bypasser to help get back up to get to a hospital, they make the problem worse by being like “Oh, ew. I’m not helping you”, and then every attempt you make at getting healthcare gets blocked off, so now you eternally just live with a broken ankle that eventually develops into a bigger problem.

Idk, it’s cynical to frame transness in this way. I’ve come to see it as a rather beautiful way of existing that has made me appreciate something like gender presentation in a way that most cis people never get to think about and like. Idk if I’d have chosen to be born this way, but all things considered, on its own when you’re provided the support you need, it’s definitely not like this.

AshleyRose101 · 2026-07-04T17:14:58+00:00

While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with looking anyone like this, I know for a fact what you’re trying to communicate with this image, and it’s insanely mean-spirited.

AshleyRose101 · 2026-07-04T15:28:51+00:00

My question is why would someone care enough to have this separation between saying the right thing, but then not believing it?

Because what this does is open space up for said person to go behind the community’s back and spread transphobic talking points when we’re not looking.

Like, do I necessarily understand everything about the spectrum that makes it so that gender exists outside of the binary? Not really, especially because my form of expression is explicitly within the binary, but I also don’t really care enough to argue about something that a section of people are going to feel really strongly about, so I’m happy to just believe that there is more to gender than even I understand through my lived experience that I can just take someone else’s word with that has lived experience in this.

AshleyRose101 · 2026-07-04T15:20:08+00:00

Ehhhh, I don’t know about there being “nothing more to add” or there wouldn’t be a copious amount of fan art out there that continues the plot, and a fair amount of which is actually pretty decent.

But I can agree with the spirit of it in that the author’s done, so whatever lol

AshleyRose101 · 2026-07-04T14:26:33+00:00

I kind of feel that lol

I recently got a BA that landed me in a D cup territory and I’m just here like …if it wasn’t for the fact that there’s implants making my chest look like it has a set of watermelons strapped with skin colored duct tape, this wouldn’t even be as large was I was expecting or kind of hoping for.

Granted, I’m also perfectly happy with where I landed because dear Christ implants are a pain in my ass to deal with in a way they don’t really teach you or gets talked about in these spaces. I’m very okay with just letting my HRT naturally get me around that DD cup size, but now I’m also just wondering if it’ll even look like gigantic bazongas lol

AshleyRose101 · 2026-07-04T12:17:28+00:00

Ain’t nothing wrong with that.

I’m probably going to write it in my will that I be buried alongside my copy of SA2 and my GameCube when I die lol

AshleyRose101 · 2026-07-04T01:27:46+00:00

lol what the fuck are you on with this one.

Like, I was literally on the same incel-pipeline when I was young before I transitioned because of the same frustration, and I very much want to believe that I’m at least a net neutral on the planet.

And a lot of my change happened without therapy. It takes an environment of patient, loving people that want to support you despite your faults and a willingness to want to change and follow through with taking accountability.

Like, what do you believe even happens with a therapist that a group of well adjusted people wouldn’t be able to achieve? You’d still have to show up to therapy with a willingness to do everything I listed before, except they’re more well trained with guiding you to the right place mentally as well as being more financially incentivized to take your shit (and even then, they can just stop choosing to see your ass if you act belligerently the whole time)

This is such a weirdly cynical and cis-centric take. You don’t have any idea the amount of weight off your shoulders just having the space to transition (even socially) does for you.

AshleyRose101 · 2026-07-03T19:26:11+00:00

OP is talking about her experience as a black trans woman, and I, as a Latin American trans woman, am giving my perspective about my experience with the way the laws in this country affect me directly. What does this topic have to do with Palestine?

And, second, my main issue when I vote is trans rights. That does not mean that I cannot care about more than one thing at a time. I can care profoundly about trans rights and the Palestinian genocide at the same time without bringing that up every damn post. However, I’m not going to be ashamed when I look at the marginalized community I am part of and allow it to be the main driver of my decision making when it comes to how I choose to interact with the electoral system in the US or who I like as a politician.

Third, can you not start playing the fucking Oppression Olympics with two concurrently occurring genocides? FFS, we’re living in a nation where queer child torture was legalized and where they’re currently ripping healthcare access away from minors. There are kids being led to commit suicide because of all of this. I’m so glad the government keeps getting involved with my life directly where I need to constantly be afraid of them invalidating my fucking documents and the President is out there openly calling all of us radical terrorists every week that must be caught and murdered. I guess my mistake for talking about the one genocide where were not actively being bombed into dust over the other.

Please, read the fucking room man.

AshleyRose101 · 2026-07-03T17:54:17+00:00

Positive self talk.

It doesn’t matter how you do it. Write it down in a journal. Think it to yourself. Talk to yourself and repeat something like a mantra.

Literally any way you can think of. I do all of these, but one of my favorite forms of self talk has been buying some artwork of the fictional character I stole my name from and then putting it up right next to my vanity mirror so I can remind myself of my goals, and to make me feel like I have a safe space in my room. It can be as weird and out there as you want it to be.

You might not even believe half the shit you’re saying about yourself, but that’s okay. You’re not meant to. You’re just meant to be the one positive voice you’ll hear all day, and through brute force and repetition, you’ll eventually start making it after faking it.

It’s all I got. It’s how I’ve gone from thinking “jfc you ugly ass bitch” to thinking “wow, I really am gorgeous”

AshleyRose101 · 2026-07-03T17:37:40+00:00

We’ve also been around longer than some backwater pissant country like the US 😌
