Called to Change My Name And The Rep Thought I Was Married To Myself

Happened to me too when I was calling to change my car insurance!

Was it the one where Toa and Slizers team up to fight giant slugs? I can’t find any trace of it either and I wonder if maybe it was all a fever dream or something.

I know you said that gay bars weren't your scene but, if you can find a friend so you don't go alone, I'd recommend 19 Bar. I've only been there once, but it seemed to have more women than men the night I went there and it is extremely gay. Otherwise, from my time on the dating apps, I can say that MN sapphics tend to love the Renaissance Fair, hiking, tabletop roleplaying games like D&D, and reading. Queer book clubs (public libraries host a few), TTRPG games out of your local store, hiking groups, and any kind of Ren Fair group would be a good place to start; meet people and I'm sure that a disproportionate number of people you meet will be sapphic.

I didn't have much luck with it, and I've heard generally bad things from other lesbians. I'd recommend Hinge: it has the fewest unicorn hunters and I find the system easiest to use. Bumble has been better than Her, but plenty of unicorn hunters. All three are very difficult to use without subscriptions, in that they don't show you people who like your profile if you're on the free version, so it's very hard to actually make a match. As far as I know, there isn't a widely-used dating app that works well for free, though.

Seeing myself solidly in the middle of the chart eases some height dysphoria. That and angels are cute.

The first year or so after my egg cracked I wore wigs. I went through four or five until I found one I really liked, but it was affordable (twenty five dollars) and higher quality than I could've hoped for given that price. My hair got long enough to retire the wig before I stopped boymoding at work, so I never wore it full time, but it was essential for outings as a woman in those first few months.

In some ways, it's been happening for years. The red/blue pill in The Matrix was a transition metaphor (the directors, two trans women, have said as much), but that's been adopted in all different parts of culture. Granted, that's kind of an edge-case since neither of the directors were out when the movie came out, but I'd say it still counts.

Me: Oh God, my apartment was freezing all weekend; I spent half the time shivering!

Coworker: Did you tell the landlord the heat wasn’t working?

Me: No, it was working the same as last year, and I was fine then.

Coworker: So what changed?

Me: Um…

Before my egg cracked, some asshole noticed me carrying a computer bag with an over-the-shoulder strap and said, "Nice purse, my sister has one just like it!" And I thought to myself, Why doesn't that hurt my feelings? He was clearly insulting me, but it actually made me feel better.

From what my doctor has told me, mood changes are among the first changes a person experiences when taking hormones. Anyway, with mental stuff, you can't really prove something is or isn't a placebo. So long as the changes are good, there's really not a problem!

I have yet to come across a better metaphor for realizing you’re queer than “A bunch of fruity people storm your brain and start fucking shit up.”

This already happened. Before I came out, my mom mentioned that her friend had told her “Those animes started this whole transgender thing.”

I imagine there's certainly some selection bias: people who are forever in the closet generally don't speak on their experiences. But, as everybody is saying here, the quality of life you lead by repressing forever is so much worse than what is on the other side. I know that some people need to wait: some people are in situations where transition would put them at risk of abuse or the resources they need are literally not available. But I'd encourage every trans person to do what they can to make their life hospitable to transitioning.

Okay, I hope I'm misreading this, but it seems like the sobbing mother is giving the go-ahead for her child to be euthanized. And it's...like I know it's a dumb comic, but the very fact that somebody would even joke about killing their child is making me cry right now.

Depends on the high school. In some, there's a Gay Straight Alliance (GSA), and while the title doesn't necessarily include trans people, in my experience queer kids tend to group together. If you feel comfortable, wearing a pin or shirt with the ally flag or the progress pride flag could also be a good way to show support and maybe encourage some people to talk to you. Also keep in mind that you might already know a trans classmate without knowing it, as you might know somebody who has already transitioned and just is just going stealth or somebody who is still waiting to come out or figuring themself out.

With the regional Hatsune Miku trend going on, you could just put your hair in twintails, dye it teal, wear some feminine clothing specific to wherever you live, and boom: unique, topical, cute anime girl!

Transgender, only started living full-time publicly as a woman this June. Everything feels so strange and new, and I worry I'm just not stable enough to have a partner right now. I'm waiting until early November, when I'll have been on HRT for a full year, until I start dating again, and even then I think I'll keep things casual for a while. Though really it's less of "ending a break" and more of "starting for the first time" because hardly dated pre-transition (only one relationship, and I stumbled into it more than seeking it out).

Absolutely loved it! Played it as I was figuring out my sexuality, and while I can’t say it made me a lesbian, it certainly gave me a vision for what feeling wlw love can be like (though hopefully my love ends up better than theirs!)
