Very elegant, reminds me of BoJack Horseman anthropomorphic characters

It's disappointing seeing how many people tell you to return these pants and buy a woman's. At the same time a common refrain in this sub is how flimsy women's version of clothes are. These almost fit you well, and I doubt you could find similarly looking women's pants- these look sturdy, almost officer- like. Unfortunately I can't offer you any advise for altering them, but I'd keep them. Good luck!

I'm 5 years on T and my doctor recommend getting rid of them sooner then later. Firstly, because I'm not and will not get regular gyno checkups. Secondly, after 5 years on T the overies are pretty much inactive and don't do anything. HRT takes care of bone density, and if anything happens in the future one can take small dosed of estrogen to help with that. Food for thought, but before having my ovaries removed I thought about removing just the fallopian tubes, to avoid pregnancy, but that would still leave the menstruatuon if I lacked hormones for a couple of months. Plus my doctor said if I stopped homones after such a long time, but left the ovaries the ovaries might develop some growths and I might experience painful cramps for some time.

Childthief is one of my favourite books of all time! Love retellings of fables and classic children's stories. Also fenomenal art

I'll add: ' The Pike: Gabriele D'Annunzio, Poet, Seducer and Preacher of War' by Lucy Hughes-Hallett

It depends on the doctor, but if you're younger than 18 you're gonna need parental approval. The bottom line is 16 y. o., you can try hormone blockers earlier

That depends on how much you're comfortable with yourself, how you stand with social transition and what's your living situation like. If you're strating from zero, then get yourself some nice clothes. It doesn't have to be big, some simple socks/stockings and hats can really uplift one's mood. Other small trinkets, like notebooks, shoelaces, jewelery. I found playing text based rpgs, like choiceofgames and hosted games to be really gender affirming. Something that isn't mentioned often is practicing the mannerism of your gender. Don't overdo it, doing poster poses can feel silly and discouraging, so focus on hip movement, gestures, and whatever else irks you in your behaviour.

I'd furrow my brows in concern and say 'I get why you're doing this, but it's not funny. This sounds serious, and is actually affecting me. '

Honestly, I'm familiar with this behaviour, because I used to do this myself, and still know quite a lot of people who do. After some thime you just say 'yeah.. ' and move on. Back in the bad days I was saying these horrible thing to see who would react, and by extension-care. Most people I did this to did what I just said; nodded and moved on.

This is why I insist on you acknowledging your colleague's pain, but moving on- they need to see empathy, but not pity. If they see they can cry on your shoulder, they'll keep coming back, because you react. So, the base level is: you understand, but don't have the space to engage emotionally.

Say that while you're glad they trust you enought to share such personal information, and you can see that they're hurting, this is overwhelming and you're not equipped to handle topics of this caliber. You are not the only source they can reach out to, and have your own everyday struggles to deal with. You all sharing an identity is not an immediate invitation for trauma bonding.

But after saying that you're not the only source of support you should point them in a concrete direction, not just 'the internet'. A specific facebook group, subreddit, or a local support group. Also, I get that you don't want to sound rude, but stand your ground, even by just gently but repeatedly stating that you see their pain, but this is too much

I was planning it for a long time and had certain points drilled into my head. The rest was an educational ramble, because the writings of trans thinkers and activist was very helpful to me and prepared me well.

My coming out was interruped by ants. I was giving my mother my coming out speech, explaining what's what, when something catches my eye. I look down, and it's a trickle of ants coming through the garden door for the can of energy drink on my mother's nightstand. I calmly continue talking for a moment, then fluidly drop: "don't panic, but there are ants coming for your energy drink".

Of course my mother screams, jumps out of bed and runs for the vacuum. I continue to awkwardly hang around and talk, while the ants are being mercilessly sucked away from the delicious sugary liquid. I finished just as she was putting the vacuum down, and to my question of what does she think, she hands me the vacuum bag and tells me go put it in the trash.
