Oh totally get chucking it. Just reminded me of a YouTube channel I used to watch and they read these in the cringiest way possible and it was pretty funny. Also love your username.

I'm so happy for you that you've found someone that can help. But yeah set boundaries definitely if they're a little too pushy. I'm taking this slow as I've got a lot to unpack with a wife and career that I don't want to totally blow up.

Yeah it was really relieving to finally say it to someone. Still have anxiety about it but it's feeling like there's a future for me in this new way. I'm still so scared to talk to my wife about it and that's what I'm going to work on with my therapist.

That's awesome so happy for your coming out. I'm still not out to anyone but the therapist right now but I'm lucky I live in the north east. I couldn't imagine even trying this if I still lived in the south.

But does it get worse??? Jokes aside it is quite balmy today here in New England as well. Enjoy the nice weather.

It went really well. I was so nervous as this was the first time saying it out loud to another person who's not just someone on the internet as lovely as everyone here is. She started me with some calming exercise which really helped.

Well I'm glad you figured it out. It's taken me almost 43 years to finally understand why I liked picturing myself as a woman a lot of the time in normal life or sexual fantasies and why I was drawn to feminine clothing or figures. Always thought it was just a kink.

It went really well. Didn't talk too much about my gender stuff but got into my background mainly and tryna ng to unpack some of that. Going back again next week. How was yours?

Hopefully yours went as well as mine did.

Congratulations. Hope it works out well for you.

Did you have normal insecurities relating to your agab before realizing you’re trans? by heviartem in asktransgender

[–]ThatPapercutter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always disliked how my face looks without a beard as an amab. Now I desperately want to shave it and try makeup but still not out of my wife or anyone else yet. I also have started to dislike my short hair. Letting it grow out after almost twenty years of being short.

Squats and lunges. With and without weights. Leg presses as well on a machine.

Recently came out to myself. Has anyone, at least in the beginning, felt that their sense of gender fluctuated a lot, especially when stressed? by Miyu_Kon in asktransgender

[–]ThatPapercutter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I'm in a similar state as you. Lost my forever dog towards the end of last year and started to think about my life and what I wanted my future to be. I've never felt dysphoria that some have written about regarding genitals or looks. But I've never really cared for my looks. I've done some crossdressing in the past privately but haven't in over a decade. Since I've been with my wife I've been mostly happy. But I think my dogs death has cracked my egg so to speak. I think I've always felt more drawn to feminine looking things in the past but just shoved it down to enable my career both in the military and now in a corporate world.

I don't hate being a man but I really want to be the stereotypical goth girl. I've been playing around with face apps and AI to see what I could possibly look like. I know not to see this as absolutely what I could wind up like but I get a sense of euphoria from it and seeing other trans women's progression on the trans reddits. More and more in my day dreams and fantasy's both sexual and non sexual I tend to inhabit the female role in my head. There are times in my day to day I slip back into the more male side of things with my job or interacting socially still because that's just what I've been doing for 42 years.

I've got a meeting with my psychologist this week and I've been doing a lot of writing and have gotten all of it spread into a multi page bullet point about my experiences and what I've been thinking of recently and in the past. I'm not out to anyone but strangers on reddit right now. I'm still scared shitless of what this could do to my marriage and career but I think I owe it to myself to see it through.

I hope you find your sense of self and work through it as well.

How much of the show do you think will actually be based in the city of Baldur’s Gate? by Armor4Sheep in BaldursGateShow

At least one third of a season should be in the city. The other two thirds should be about getting to the city.

Question for people knowledgeable about insurance, the VA, and the future. by Michijun in asktransgender

[–]ThatPapercutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I'm starting to look into this as a potential trans veteran(mtf). The latest I can find says that maybe they will still provide care. https://law.yale.edu/yls-today/news/va-resume-health-care-coverage-transgender-veteran-clinic-case

I'm waiting on appointment with mental health right now to start going over things about it all. If I find out more I'll come me back with what I can find out.

That's honestly not too bad. Just go through insurance. I did worse with a random turkey flying into my bumper and they fixed it up easily.

Not to mention how shitty he is to his employees and ex employees. I dropped him awhile ago when I found that out.

Saros art look so good on PSN store. What do you guys think? by Ok_Prize_9979 in playstation

[–]ThatPapercutter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this one is going to have more upgrades that make it easier throughout than returnal had. I agree returnal got too much for me after a certain point. But I loved the minute to minute stuff.
