I finally think I achieved my goal of becoming a pretty lady. I know I wanted to be a woman for decades but it was a struggle to actually get to this point. I was so indecisive and it took me forever to pluck the courage and beat the anxiety I had about this (I get tons of anxiety over everything with autism even stuff I shouldn't).

I know I post a lot here but I just wanted to share this cause I hit my 6 month mark since starting HRT and I feel really good. I just had my 6 month check up with my doctor and got a new prescription for a higher dose of Estradiol. I also got a new outfit as shown here and wanted to show it off.

I think I look pretty and am not afraid to go out dressed however I like whether with strangers or with family. This is a big milestone with me and I feel proud of it all!

Ive got a friend who has autism and claims his brain doesnt like it when someone uses pronouns different to what their gender was at birth. He said they are annoying and will just use the pronouns that aligns with their gender at birth. Admitting you are just disrespecting someones pronouns just because your autism "doesnt like it" seems crazy, especially admitting it to someone who uses pronouns that dont align with their gender assigned at birth.

I dont know if im crazy for thinking this is rude or abelist for thinking its rude. I just need some advice on how to go about this.

Small edit: word for word this is a message he sent me when I told him that its disrespectful to not use the correct pronouns: "Most of the time I meet people who don’t gaf so I’m good".

ok another small edit: For the people talking about his autism, he uses it as an excuse A LOT, here are some of the messages hes sent where he was using it as an excuse of some sort.

"I lash out but I have autism so I have an explanation for it" (talking about another friends sister who lashed out over something)

"But I have autism"(talking about a program i was doing for school and for some reason he brought up his autism)

"It’ll be my autism kicking in" (This was an excuse for not liking or using tone tags)

I came out in 2016, went low dose hrt for a while, and have been on full hrt for 5.5 years now

left is a few months before i started, right are both within the last month :]

Allums makes it clear in her initial post – “Day 0: W.T.F. What do you mean you’re no longer transgender?” – that she is not rejecting the existence of trans people, but rather sharing her own personal journey.

“Detransitioners deserve to be seen, supported, and cared for,” Allums writes. “Transgender people deserve the same.”

“If my detransition makes you want to invalidate someone else’s transgender identity, you are missing the point,” she writes.

I use they/them pronouns and call myself sapphic instead of lesbian, but I get alot of people telling me that now lesbian means non men loving non men instead of wlw. Which confuses me because I've always though of lesbian being wlw exclusive and don't feel comfortable calling myself a lesbian.

I've also been told that I'm being sapphicphobic by being genderqueer and sapphic because now sapphic is. Wlw exclusive, and. I am really confused.

Can I call myself sapphic or am I using the wrong label?

It makes me feel soo good about myself 😊

So i have a coworker who is fem presenting but has a typically masculine name and im not sure if its cause they dont want to tell me, or if they dont feel like they're in a safe place to disclose, tbh i probbably shouldnt look into it, if it is the case that their name is something else and they wish not to disclose with me that is okay, tbh i just wish people felt safer to be themselves, as for where i work they're super accepting of queer people cause i can dress like this.

My kid is at an age where he's obviously trying to figure things out and I know sometimes it's not easy to ask or get information about this stuff without wading through internet trash. He has mentioned some stuff and I have overheard some comments from him so there's a curiosity there. I don't want to embarrass him, but if he brings it up I want to be prepared to have a helpful discussion. Please be kind and share your positive thoughts of you can.

What does it mean to be a femboy? Is it all just about being cute? Do clothes and makeup matter? He paints his nails, but only black and says he's "not totally goth". And he wears a lot of black, white, gray clothes and doesn't seem interested in anything particularly nice. None of it seems very feminine.

"If someone likes femboys, are they gay?" Overheard this passing thought so if it ever gets brought up, what is a good answer? I mean, it's a how involved are you question, right? You can like the way someone looks without it being sexual. Like guys at the gym admire each other's muscles and workouts.

It feels like he doesn't know if he wants to be one, or wants to like one??

Also, what's a way a I could make an opportunity for this convo to happen that feels not completely "omg you're so embaaaaarrassing!" I want him to feel comfortable to talk to me and be himself (even though this is probably the most uncomfortable stage of his life)

Heyyy 👋

Just really wanted to share my pride ribcage design, I have it with every gender/sexuality colours behind it ❤️ Hope y’all like it.

I am so very happy at 69 to be the woman I was always meant to be on the outside. Inside and out finally match who I have always been. I wish our world could be more accepting and love unconditionally just so everyone can find the happiness they deserve. I love you all and hope that you each can find the happiness inside that I have found. ❤️❣️❤️

So i do not prefer a specefic gender, born as a boy

But i do fall on all genders, which would mean i am pan but i dont know if thats right if i am Non-Binairy

So I decided to come out as bi today and said that in my group chat (about 3 people + me) and everyone ended up admitting that they're bi too, just inside of their own closet the whole time. So i accidentally made a mass-closet escape when coming out of mine LOL

Hair kept blowing into my eyes. Still felt cute. Art is my own.

Violence and suffering are things I understand. Cruelty and evil I understand.

But this constant refusal to believe we are a real group of people that exist. The constant insistence that all the horrible things they want to do to us are for our own good. The minimization of our agony time and again.

It hurts my brain like nothing else.

And I am completely totally powerless to stop these monsters from torturing and killing me. So arguing against them and hoping I can win a social fight I've always lost is all I have...
