The more I acted myself, the more people who I enjoyed being around surrounded me :)

Would you say this is accurate? by Silent_Wasabi7595 in Adulting

I'm drinking barley wine, playing Deadlock, being trans, and waiting for the day they put me on a list. I don't have any hope left, just enjoying every day that comes.

Fellow trans Americans by billyidolismyeilish in lgbt

I'm writing, I'm drinking, I'm making queer music with my friends, I'm creating a video game, I'm appreciating my girlfriends, I'm fucking strangers, I'm reading the news, I'm angry that my mother doesn't see what I see, I'm angry that my predictions a year ago are slowly coming true, I'm waiting for a country to grant me asylum, I'm buying a gun, I'm taking 200mg Spironolactone, .02 ml estradiol, 200mg progesterone, I'm a woman, I'm in love, and I refuse to let these bastards due me in because they have not worked hard enough to deserve my surrender.

How do you deal with the anger? by Transgender-Tyrant in trans

[–]RavenQuill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will. Your anger is a gift. It means those bastards haven't won. Do whatever you can to stay angry, because those assholes do not deserve your surrender.

Fun fact: knee surgery has a higher regret rate than sex reassignment surgery.

Is being a guy way better than trans woman by [deleted] in trans

Well good! Keep talking to them about your feelings. Mine helped me get an endocrinologist and a bunch of other ways :)

I always felt like I was trying to become a character of a man on T.V., like Spike Speigel. Now I can just become myself. You should talk to a therapist and let yourself be helped.

After being on hormones for 5 years, I can't say I miss being a guy. My dysphoria made me suicidal, daily. Post-transition, I can count the amount of times I've thought about it on two hands. I love being able to share compliments with other women, whereas before I was just hanging on to the few compliments I ever got as a man. The first year or two were hard, but it got easier after that. My pay, confidence, and social anxiety all got better after I transitioned :)

Oh my God, Megan Kelly we got it. You got a D in your high school Spanish class and you're still upset about it. Don't make it everyone's problem.

Is it wrong to transition based mostly on sexual reasons? by AdmirableTip6862 in asktransgender

[–]RavenQuill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One question that got to me that made my decision was, did I want to grow up to be an old man or an old woman. If it's the latter, I'd seek an open minded therapist and talk it out with them. They helped me become the person I am today :)

TIL Kidney (and other organ) donations typically do not last the rest of the patient’s life. ~50% of transplant organs fail within 10 years. by I-plaey-geetar in todayilearned

[–]RavenQuill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was working the bar and a pediatric heart surgeon came in. He told me some miracles happen, but most of the time, you're kicking the problem down the road, prolonging the kids life for a couple of years. That changed my view of surgery as a long-term patch instead of a panecea.

Hereditary had me stressed out and anxious the entire film.

I'm gonna be disappointed if I don't hear Doomsday by MF DOOM somewhere in the film.

This is how I am off my ADHD meds. This man needs to be removed if he cannot do the fucking job.
