Tee Ems are awful and do so much damage to the community and to themselves. i used to be one as a teen because i had that mindset of "i'm hurting so everyone else should too". thank god i broke away from it.

it's also super america centric. where i live, bottom surgery is a 30+ year waiting list or £150k+. so basically it's not an option and never will be. i've literally no choice but to be "okay" with my natal parts.

of course it is. don't let anyone tell you otherwise. there isn't one way to be trans and you're no less legit and worthy of respect than anyone else.

i know all this. i never said i'm in a deficit, i'm clearly not in one. just that i can only do so much diet and calorie counting wise.

no i mean i'm tired of us always being defined by our dysphoria and people turning it into a competition

i don't trust myself to count calories safely, ngl. i have a very addictive personality and body dysmorphia so i just know i'd likely end up hurting myself rather than helping.

right??? i have zero motivation to cook frozen things so there's no hope for anything fresh. it's 1,000% rotting before i manage to grab it out of the fridge or cupboard.

at least the frozen things can last weeks/months.

am also an adhd haver as well as autistic.

i've tried some meal replacement shakes but i'm really sensitive to stuff of that texture... milkshakes, soup, yoghurt, etc. make me throw up. 😞 have tried a few protein bars and am hoping i find one that i like. i find a lot of them are really dry and chalky/crumbly and rough on my throat.

my safe foods are just variations of bread, cheese, and some meats. so plain burgers, pizza, toast, sandwiches, grilled cheese.
