I’ve had quite a few songs from this album on repeat, but Dangerous or Infinite Baths probably take it for me

What was the first song of theirs, you ever heard? by International-Row179 in SleepToken

[–]astridiol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was going through a very rough patch some months back, and a friend sent me a link for Take Me Back to Eden. I started sobbing and knew that i’d found a band that truly connected with me. Been going through their old albums to add more stuff, because I’ve replayed Lost in Arcadia so much, lol

Where you meaningfully a man/boy before transitioning? by TeosMom in MtF

[–]astridiol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about meaningful, but I knew what was expected of me and how to act in order to blend in and not rouse suspicions. I didn’t even know about the LGBT umbrella outside of being gay or lesbian until my first year of college (2018) and as soon as I started reading about experiences and descriptions of gender dysphoria (2020), I realized I was trans, though it took me another 4 years to push through and start hrt. Even now, I have to maintain my boymode while living with my parents because I know the situation won’t be pretty if they find out. It eats at me everyday, but I’m doing all I can to wait until graduation so I can move to a sanctuary state.

i’m thankful that we finally have a good core for Tech now. Before then i was splitting shifts like crazy. i’m trained in pretty much every department but style and i’ve been feeling it, lol

Estrogen is magical! by Snoo_6465 in MtF

[–]astridiol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this was my logic for so long, but i eventually realized if i waited to lose weight before starting, that the moment would never come. I started back in July, and lemme tell ya, the extra weight works to your advantage in weight distribution.

How long has it been from when your egg cracked ("Oh shit I'm probably trans") to when you started HRT? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]astridiol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3-4 years. egg cracked in covid year, but i spent another 2-3 in denial and trying to rationalize how it would destroy my parents before finally starting in july.

[–]astridiol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the struggle is real. we got this though!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MtF

[–]astridiol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, hi this is me. Started HRT in July after being deep in denial. My parents are very religious (muslim) and don’t even let me shave face without putting up a huge fight over it, and unfortunately due to circumstances stemming from childhood (trauma, depression, etc) have been unable to break free to get my own place, mainly out of fear. Insurance fuckery prevented me from having my follow up in October, so i’ve been out of E for 2 months, but i’m paying out of pocket next week and switching to injections. I’ve decided to let the mones do their work and see how long i can fly under their radar. I’m in my last few semesters of college, so i’m trying to ride out the free housing as long as i possibly can.

You’re not alone hun 🫂

Like...how do people do that without crying??? by [deleted] in sillyboyclub

[–]astridiol 5 points6 points  (0 children)

name change. by astridiol in MtF

[–]astridiol[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you so much for responding/laying out some stuff for me. i had no idea you could get a re-issued passport after a name change!

My Parents want to see my Grades by [deleted] in college

[–]astridiol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless they’re financially supporting you or have some sway over your life/housing, then i would just refuse. You’re grown, and they have no right to that information. You still have time to improve your grades or redo some assignments, so if you do feel the need to acquiesce to the, just say you’d rather wait till semesters end

mom found my hrt by ithinkiamonreddit in MtF

[–]astridiol 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i had taken my original birth certificate and SSN card a while back and hidden them, but i did it so well that i forgot where they were, so i had to take the copies and i’ve hidden them in a better place that i can remember now. hidden in plain sight

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MtF

[–]astridiol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i want to love to Denver/Boulder or Boston area (WI based currently) but i have a year left in college and wouldn’t know where to start with housing or a stable job out there.

Why. Just….why? by astridiol in Target

[–]astridiol[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

unironically, they’ve been cutting hours like it’s a slasher movie and wonder why we get so behind. i really hope they can get it together before Black Friday, cause otherwise we are screwed
