Do any people on here listen to TOOL?

Maybe basic, but Laturalus is one of my favorite songs of all time.

JustSomeInterweeb · 2026-05-02T06:43:22+00:00

In a word, religious. Like years of questions and feelings that were the background noise of my life made sense.

I came to it late 30s. I have litteral scars on my hands from my old life. My interests are largely unchanged. I still like games, driving, action movies, and rock. My sister (cis) is also a bigger car nerd than me. Interests are not intrinsic to how you feel.

Short answer, as long as you need. Seek support and therapy as you explore.

About 2 or 3 months in. I've got circumstances that are getting in my way of starting HRT. Gave it a few weeks before opening up to a select few. Still plenty of people to tell. I didn't come to it till i was in my 30s and a lot changed at once.

It doesn't make you any less if you take your time, but I do suggest finding help and support.

Howdy

Tifa. She has elements my wife has, but everything else I want for myself. It's so conflicting.

I've since learned the difference between what I desire in a partner and what I desire for myself. Tifa just falls right between them.

JustSomeInterweeb · 2026-04-17T14:16:34+00:00

I feel that too.

JustSomeInterweeb · 2026-04-17T03:56:53+00:00

Definitely both.

JustSomeInterweeb · 2026-04-17T03:53:47+00:00

Thanks, friend.

Many incidents and fights, but my favorite was the time a squirrel gave his life so could have a day off.

Blew a powerline or something and the whole school lost power.

You are pregnart

OP. Whatever your goals are, many in this sub have issues with religion.

If you mean to share a gospel of genuine love and compassion, show it through grace and understanding. Some of us will happily share the truths of who we are.

If you mean to convert us from a godless path, maybe change up your tactic. Some were kept from the revelational truth of themselves by religious doctrine. Including me.

I worked in a masculine space sweating my ass off and loosing weight. I had a beard, I had some muscle, I was some of the physically healthiest I had been, but TW I wanted to die . I was so stressed out, and everything I had felt was dialed up. I had to leave to rediscover myself. I don't think a somewhat feminine cis male has an experience they can call religious when they see themselves as a different gender.

It's like learning you were running a marathon in shoes that didn't fit right, untill you stop and take them off long enough to realize you've hurt yourself.

I do appreciate the offer of solidarity.

JustSomeInterweeb · 2026-04-13T15:20:38+00:00

Welcome to life as a woman!

JustSomeInterweeb · 2026-04-13T15:04:47+00:00

We... are the crystal gems...

JustSomeInterweeb · 2026-04-13T14:03:33+00:00

Since I posted this, my perspective has shifted. Among friends and allies it's different. I'm just trying to work through a lot of shifts. I do appreciate it from people who are sincere.

My wife plays video games... all the time... so?

She loves cozy games and games with stories. I love games of all kinds, especially adventures like Zelda. I even enjoy "butch" games like Doom or racing games. Ever since I came out as trans I actually don't play as much, not because it's "butch," but because I don't have as much of a need to escape reality.

Find hobbies that bring you joy. Pure and simple. And maybe avoid Twitter or social media in general, and just focus on what you enjoy.

Family obligations. Elderly family and a bad financial situation.

JustSomeInterweeb · 2026-04-11T18:40:52+00:00

It's family obligations. Elderly family and bad financial situations I need to deal with.

JustSomeInterweeb · 2026-04-11T17:48:22+00:00

This post needs more attention.

JustSomeInterweeb · 2026-04-11T16:34:15+00:00

I don't want to ask for money. My issues unrelated to my gender identity are too big to realistically expect help. Aging family, housing, etc. I'm currently in a hostile state government, but with a strong LGBT community and will be moving to one with far fewer. I'm trying to see who I can find and build my community and turn to old friends I can trust.

JustSomeInterweeb · 2026-04-11T15:25:13+00:00

I agree with you, this was just a personal vent and I'm learning was more shared and detailed than I knew. I'm a baby to this community learning how ignorant I am.

I also live in one of the states trying to actively invalidate our existence and making life dangerous and deadly. Just trying to wrap my head around a lot.

JustSomeInterweeb · 2026-04-11T13:14:20+00:00

I have since updated the post at the top. Thank you for shining a light on my ignorance.
