Sounds unpleasant (I still haven’t started). Hope you get everything sorted in time! Good luck.

I got some lidocaine cream for my face for laser, but didn’t use it in the end. They said not to use it on genitals, but I guess it works OK then?

Aha, yes, there’s always that :3

I like the idea of literary erotica. Certainly visual media doesn’t really do anything for me any more, which was pretty surprising.

Oh, my. I think I’m getting the girl-horny already. Somebody please send help… no, wait, lesbians. Send lesbians.

Seriously, though, my wife’s basically asexual and my original solo playbook is not going to cut the mustard. What do?

Oh, that’s a sucky betrayal and I feel for you. Have a virtual hug <3

Yeah!

Voice training is tough, but you really just have to power through it and use your new voice as much as possible to get the hours in. It gets better, or so I’m told: my voice still sounds kinda clocky to me, but miles better than it was.

That’s so cool! Enjoy the ride <3

Awesome!

AAAAAHHH!!

My name change was approved! I’m now legally [girl name]! I’m really doing this, huh? *panics*

(Sadly I’m unable to update my gender marker for the time being. Thanks, Japan)

It might confuse some people, but it’s not as if the lesbian police are going to come and arrest you! Why not? <3

Alternatively, another term you might like to consider is “gynephilic”.

Yay! It’s goIng to be great <3

Don’t worry! Feeling no effects is perfectly normal, especially if you’re on a low starter dose.

So. I was in town the other day, and caught sight of my reflection. “Hmm, I actually look almost like a girl today,” I thought. In an inexplicable fit of courage, I decide to risk the women’s bathroom. Heart pounding, I go in. No alarms sound. Finish my business, wash hands, escape. In the end I didn’t encounter anybody else, so it wasn’t much of a test. But now I’m paranoid that that was the only reason it didn’t end in disaster :/

Oh, and I got my ears pierced. Now I get a happiness boost every time I see myself in the mirror!

And the doctor wasn’t happy with my estrogen level, so she’s reduced my dose and put me on spiro. At least I now have an excuse for all the pickles I eat.

Classic :)

I only just realized that Lea Salonga sang this! Wish I was even half as good…

omg yes! I used to love that one too (also old).

Waiting for my hair and boobs to grow. It’s so slooooow. I don’t look (to my eyes) nearly as feminine as I’d like, although clearly I’m starting to be read that way by other people. But what am I not satisfied by? Clothes? Hair / makeup? Face? I’m not sure. I’m bad at everything and don’t know how to girl. Eugh, early transition (month 7 of HRT) sucks.

Anybody want some data? I’m on 3 x 0.72mg patches every other day. Two was subjectively not enough to suppress the effects of T. Last blood test was 0.48 ng/mL T; 400 pg/mL E2. Acceptable, but I guess I might want to substitute some prog for estradiol at some point.

Hmm. Many years of thinking “hurr hurr I wish I was a lesbian”, and I never thought to ask myself why.

Sure, you get to date girls.

But also…? Come on, past me, you’ve almost got it…

I love her comics <3
