on a more serious note though: After one month on HRT, I’m so happy that my second puberty is finally MY puberty. I can buy all of the silly games I want without having to beg for them, I can finally eat tasty food (not the slime my parents used to produced) even at 1 AM if I feel like it, I don’t have to endure judgemental comments 24/7. I still got a long ways to go, but just having true friends now for the first time in like a decade - so worth it.

    I’m curious, why couldn’t you buy certain video games before? Genuinely asking but totally understand if you’re not comfortable talking about it. Happy for you regardless!

      and like there’s a male and a female set of (internal) rules… since I switched to the female set of rules I feel much free-er

        Sounds like you’re finally able to live your true self, freely without having to put on this massive fake identity. I often think about the way we all wear a mask around others, even those close to us. Sometimes it’s just a small thing but having to pretend that what’s inside of you isn’t completely the opposite of how you’re perceived and expected to behave is just deeply unfair and I have such admiration for trans people who are able to shed that mask and live and love freely.

      ah yes and a fat portion of autism which just clings onto fixed set of rules like those things you hang from the ceiling to get rid of flies
