I feel it, alls i want to do is jump into the deep end but its probly better to take small steps ๐
I def will. Ill burn it all except my band t shirts, but those can still be girly lol
Fuck small steps, give me a pool filled with estradiol!
You can absolutely style any t-shirt to be girly! In school all the goth/punk/alt girls would take old shirts and cut them up, and re-tie the strands together to make more feminine cuts, and as a bonus the sides had gaps to provide a nice breeze in summer (which sometimes required planning the wardrobe accordingly) so I bet you could absolutely make them more feminine! You need to post pics when you do!
Holy i forgot all about the cut up shirt thing! Thats actually an awesome idea.
My partner (cis female) has to take estradiol for different reasons, and i cant count how many times i looked on jealously lol. Ill get there very soon though, im confident in that. Thank Gaia that i dont live in a backwards shithole, i dont envy anyone in that situation
I only remembered because my partner has one from college chilling somewhere around here. You couod even practice on all the "to burn" shirts!
Lol I'm not sure where you live, but here in rural Ohio, smack in the middle (ish) of the US, I'd definitely consider this area a "backwards shithole", compared to some many places. Then again, I still have access to gender affirming care even if I have to pay out of pocket, so I suppose I'm not bad off. Can't imagine how much it must suck to live in some countries though...
Oregon!! I love it here! mental health access, abortion access, and gender pathways access are probly some of the best in the country. I hear stories all the time of people starting their journey with a doctor and still having to wait years before hrt. Here im fully confident ill walk in, tell them what i want and when i want to start it, and thats how itll happen. State insurance is REALLY good here for trans folks too. You name it its covered by OHP: trach shave, laser removal, vaginoplasty, top surg, face feminization, hrt, everything thats a part of anyone heres journey is covered.
Plus its beautiful here! Mountains, ocean, beaches, rivers, desert, forest, we got it all.
As a lifelong oregonian i wouldnt want to be anywhere else. And we usually say please stop fucking moving here. But i hereby give permission for everyone FtM, MtF, or anything in between to move here. We welcome you with open arms! Especially if your in an unsafe place or country, we NEED you here and happy โค๏ธ
Edit: spelling
Omg that sounds like heaven compared to here! I've always wanted to move to pnw, and if it were an option, we would move on a heartbeat.
I should totally try to get some of the Trans-formers to all move and get a chunk of land in Oregon and make like an lgbtqia+ commune lol
Thats one thing that would make it better here, a trans founded and led small town. I cant lie and say i havent really wanted to do that. Thats the dreammmm ๐
