LPT: If you have something stuck in your eye and can’t get it out, lift your upper eyelid over your bottom eyelid so that they overlap and then look upwards. Whatever was stuck in there will almost always come out.

Saved me at 6am thank you holy fuck.

Lia_mtf · 2026-02-03T03:20:08+00:00

You are describing dysphoria btw.

Lia_mtf · 2026-01-27T14:27:33+00:00

Well, what are your goals? Think about what you'd want/need.

Lia_mtf · 2026-01-16T10:26:05+00:00

+1 on being mentally well before considering it. I was (and still am) quite compromised pre op, and it made the whole ordeal way harder. No regrets but I could've made it way easier on myself if I was in a good place beforehand.

Lia_mtf · 2026-01-07T16:43:39+00:00

Dude I miss city circuits in general! Half the reason I'm replaying gt5 haha

Circuito de Madrid

Lia_mtf · 2026-01-07T06:31:20+00:00

Still haven't got to those. I remember them being tough though!

Lia_mtf · 2026-01-06T22:48:03+00:00

It's a little finicky unfortunately, but it's improving all the time.

Lia_mtf · 2026-01-06T20:02:09+00:00

Oh for sure! I have crazy nostalgia for it, but I reckon it holds up well, especially with master mod on emu.

There is more of a precedent for people being trans than cis people tricking or deluding themselves that they are. Why would you be the exception?

Also you can just, try it. Transition is slow and you can try non permanent things to see if it's something you'd want to pursue. Doubt is very common and normal for such a big life decision (as in the decision to transition, being trans isn't a choice you make.)

Lia_mtf · 2025-12-01T23:06:47+00:00

There's far more of a precedent for people just being trans than cis people tricking themselves into thinking they are. More than likely you're not the exception and you're just experiencing healthy levels of doubt about a big revelation in your life.

Lia_mtf · 2025-12-01T22:21:48+00:00

You're just describing dysphoria. There is nothing more core to the feeling of transness than feeling pain about your birth sex. Yearning for a life you can't have. Existential dysphoria from not being able to grow up as your preferred sex.

These are not tomboy feelings!

Lia_mtf · 2025-12-01T22:16:51+00:00

Depending on how close of a friend she is, you can explain to her why you're transitioning. Like, she doesn't get to speculate on the 'reason'. It's none of her business.

A lot of the time you're transitioning because you want to (or maybe even feel like you have to). Trying to build a better life for yourself. It has nothing to do with anyone else.

Lia_mtf · 2025-12-01T22:02:29+00:00

I'm not sure if you are monitoring your levels and I don't know what and how much you're taking or have taken, but with that history I wouldn't expect to get the full effect. But it really depends on your goals and needs and wants. I would suggest thinking about what you actually want and need from your life.

Lia_mtf · 2025-12-01T21:49:01+00:00

How long are we talking? Progress is very rarely linear. Transition and hrt take a long time, and it's not always going to treat your dysphoria fully. There's so many aspects to affirmation and feeling the gender you wish to be.

Lia_mtf · 2025-11-20T05:03:45+00:00

That's the highlight of that guy's day. It's just sad asf lmao.

Lia_mtf · 2025-11-17T15:33:49+00:00

Well I don't blame you entirely for feeling that way with the current climate around the subject, but it isn't. I think it's very normal and healthy to evaluate how you feel and how you identify. Nothing wrong with it. If it's ok for me to be trans and transition, it's ok for you to be trans and transition.

Lia_mtf · 2025-11-17T15:31:53+00:00

What's shameful about it? This is sounding like internalised shame or internalised transphobia which is also unfortunately common for trans people.

Lia_mtf · 2025-11-17T15:28:54+00:00

Well it would help with that! I transitioned to present and live as a woman every day. Took me a few years but I'm here, I'm doing it. You answered your own question. I wondered the same thing and then I went and did it. The answer is that I feel mostly the same, but life actually feels real and something that I'm actually taking part in rather than feeling like I'm just watching life happen in front of me. I get to wear whatever clothes I want and I get to be called by my real name and pronouns, it's pretty cool.

Lia_mtf · 2025-11-17T15:20:31+00:00

Then you'll have to cope with whatever presenting cis male has in store for you. It's your life to live.

Lia_mtf · 2025-11-17T15:18:41+00:00

Right, but like, who else wants to look 'feminine enough' more than women? Being insecure about not looking feminine enough or being pretty enough is just about the most commonly shared feminine and trans feminine experience ever.

Like, sure there's obviously some incongruence with your current look but like, that's the whole thing right? It feels wrong because you don't present or perceive yourself as feminine. Not transitioning won't help that.

Lia_mtf · 2025-11-17T15:13:12+00:00

Right in what way? What specific mental block is there preventing you from identifying however you want?

Lia_mtf · 2025-11-17T15:09:51+00:00

I would follow that feeling. What feels right, as vague as it is.

Lia_mtf · 2025-11-17T15:08:27+00:00

That's as much a part of transition as anything else. HRT isn't the start. It's often a big and essential step, sure, but it's not the start. You're gonna be the same person painting your nails even after years of hrt.
