Ahhh yes, good old Windows Entertainment Pack.

I remember one level where you had to skate around a maze that required you to find the route by trial and error and memorize it. Don’t think I ever finished the whole game; it got pretty difficult later on. At least for 11-year-old me.

Is not liking androgynous people something your wife has actually told you about her sexuality? Because all the bi people I’ve heard have represented it as liking both “same and different” rather than “binary men and women”. It can, as you say, take time to adjust, though.

Also note that HRT can be more like an exponential dropoff: it can take years to get the full effects, but a HUGE amount will happen in the first six months or so.

hypothetical medication that would harm me if the doctor thought I was a cis man and didn’t out myself

Not that I’m accusing you of anything, but this is a hypothetical that I hear a lot from transphobes (ie, "would you take the medication only for “biological” men / women despite being a trans woman / man? If so, ha ha! You admit to being your AGAB really. If not, ha ha! You die).

Other than questions of what anatomy is physically present, I’ve never heard of (and sincerely doubt the existence of) any case where birth sex is relevant.

Sounds like you figured it out already! I suggest you go live as the person you want to be and pay no mind to any potential haters. Good luck <3

PS HRT is indeed awesome

Wut.

Thank you! It seems almost everyone is blind to their own progress :3

Hehe tenk u <3

Pose and make-up help, but I did get quite lucky there I think 😇

Thank you!

Hehe, I think it’s mostly the hairstyle but yes I see it too. Maybe that’s why I keep buying kind of old-fashioned dresses. Wait… am I from the past? 🤔

I mean I’d classify it as “very unpleasant” but not unbearable. Deep breaths but I did let out a few squeals now and again :P My technician was surprised that I could stand it without anesthetic, so I guess I just have a higher-than-normal pain tolerance?

Ah, that’s good to know.

I’m still a while away from even an initial consult, so probably at least a year to go still. But we’ve pretty much finished the first pass already, just a case of picking up any dormant hairs now. Guess there’s time to start tackling the remaining hair on my face as well then (^^

Simple but very stylish!

takes notes

Yeah, it would be nice if I could get some stimulants too to help when I really need to get something done, but I can kind of work around it with large doses of caffeine. (I live in Japan where even most doctors can’t prescribe amphetamines)

I dunno if I (41) count as a kid, but I got diagnosed last year and put on atomoxetine. It’s got the jumping-from-thought-to-thought under control so I can concentrate on something if I get started, and I guess making phone calls is a bit easier now. But I’m still very much ADHD, just under control a bit.

One day I will meet another publicly trans person in the wild, and on that day I too will grow cat ears.

I found that I could go back to my normal accent once I got used to doing girl voice. It’s probably something to do with habit and muscle memory, but who knows.

A bra is like a hug that lasts all day 🩷

Possibly you’re over-enunciating? I’m from the south of England originally and usually talk with a fairly international blend, but when I started voice training my accent turned very plummy.

You could try impersonating someone in particular: repeat lines from a move or game, even. Or try a totally different accent. Valley girl is fun :)
