3 weeks til I go see the specialist. Recently heard that the waiting period for seeing the endo afterwards has gone from 1 month to 5. Fucking come on.
Now that I have embraced the Northern way of life I greet people with “Ey up”, or maybe an “Ow do” if I’m feeling fancy
Quick, gender-neutral, and I’m sure it provides some private amusement to my colleagues hearing it come out of my southern-as-fuck mouth
How far north have you come?

Not as north as some, but I grew up on the south coast so it’s a fair way from where I started

Well, i had a dream.
I went to an anime con in a Rose Diamond cosplay and it felt super right, but then afterwards i considered going to work in cosplay and realized it wouldn't work because even after i've shaved, it's obvious i grow facial hair.
I finally had it, the euphoria-dysphoria one-two punch. At least this is more proof i'm not cis, i guess.

Just wanted to be sure you weren't one of those southern types that makes it as far as Watford and starts wearing a flat cap and going on about ferrets.
Hey y'all, I don't normally post in here but lurk sometimes. I have a bit of an issue right now?
I feel like I'm having pronoun problems with Clawshrimpy? it's so hard to remember because they aren't very assertive about it so I keep forgetting and feeling bad when I think later.
I am also having another weird issue but I'm too nervous to talk about that one.
Ah I dunno, should I just ask them to remind me more often? I dunno, we've always had trouble communicating despite living our whole lives.
The other thing has to do more with uh, attraction to men? I still feel weird saying it which I don't like. I kinda wish I had someone to talk to to sort through it?

It is always kind of endearing to me, as an American, to hear how apparently regional dialects and customs are in the (relatively) small area of the British Isles.

I legit need subtitles for some people from Liverpool. A city 72 miles from me.

One of my favorite things ever was an early Oasis interview on MTV where they decided (rightly) that they needed to subtitle the Gallaghers. For an English-speaking audience.
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust
I think that nemeses have to be declared. Like, you walk into a room and someone hisses 'Grah, my nemesis has appeared, I must defeat them'. You might not hear them, but the facial expressions generally give it away.
Reminds me of a great bit of KoL text:
"'<Player Name>! I have grave news! Your Nemesis has stolen an incredibly dangerous mystical artifact, guarded by our guild for generations! You must recover it from her before she discovers how to use it, or great catastrophe will surely ensue!'
'Wait, what? Since when do I have a Nemesis?' you ask.
'We took a vote, and you weren't here, so she's your Nemesis. You should come to meetings more often.'"
@Uriel If the pronoun thing is really bothering you, check in with your partner. It may be that they don't care all that much, in which case not only does this make your life easier, continuing to flagellate over it would be actively detrimental to both of you. If they do care, this signals that it's something you're trying to be aware of, and not just laissez-faire.
Generally speaking, I tell my cis friends that it's ok to mess up. What's important is a) your general awareness of the topic, b) your efforts applied wherever possible, and c) not making a big deal out of it. Queer folks just want to live their lives without being reminded that they're atypical.
Saw my nuclear family this weekend, which continues to be stressful for me. First time seeing my sister in a long time, definitely since I came out.
They avoided saying my name or referring to me at all--my mom at one point almost used a pronoun and then just changed her sentence--and did not mention my transition or identity or anything related to it. They don't know I started hormones, nor do they know my marriage is over.
While it's better than overt hostility, the way they acted made me feel they were very uncomfortable with my situation. Perhaps they were just trying not to cause offense or not to make a big deal over it; I couldn't say. It is weird in my family for anything to go undiscussed though--we talk a lot about all sorts of sensitive topics--so it really stood out to me.
Of course, the question then is--what exactly do I want them to say instead, rather than nothing? I'm not sure. But it was unpleasant, and made me feel lonely and stressed out.

That sucks, I’m sorry to hear that.
A large portion of my family behaved in a similar matter. Eventually I just stopped talking to most of them entirely after I was dead named and misgendered in the same sentence (a birthday message!) and yeah. I wouldn’t call it a falling out, exactly, and I imagine I’ll probably see them again in the future, but I never call them, they never call me and it just seems to be the way we all want it. I hope your situation turns out better than that.

I am having a really hard time dealing with feelings related to gender and transitioning right now. I'm feeling so isolated and helpless that I just don't know what to do. It feels so hopeless to think about what lies ahead. I don't know if I'm strong enough.
I had a massive breakdown on Friday and I might've lost one of my few sources of support

My stepdad's memorial service was today. We had a big barbecue thing on Saturday but just close family scattered his ashes in the mountains near Laramie where we used to go hunting and stuff. It was very nice. Now I just have to drive back to Spokane. Hooray! And pray I've got enough for gas I suppose.
Yeah. I would rather just hear the actual opinion rather than have someone dance around it.
Ugh, yes. If someone is going far enough with it to make it clear what they're thinking, they can at least have the spine to stick to their guns and just get it out.
Waffling on it, because they'd rather have plausible deniability, is such a chickenshit move.

Anxiety sucks guys. I know I don't need to tell anyone here that but I want to vent. I'm so sick of feeling like my body is trying to kill me and my brain is trying to lock me in my room.
Well, nothing in the rules says a dog can't run for office...
Seriously though a 14 year old running for office is kinda hilarious.
What I enjoyed the most about the kisd was that he has the same last name as a german MEP who got his seat running as political satirist. Seems so fitting.

On me, I mean, on others it looks amazing
And it looks fine on me? But I absolutely don't think it looks so good that it's worth the time to do it or to spend money on it
I'm having a bit more self-confidence lately, and it's resulted in me saying "yeah, I'm good on makeup, thanks." I think I look cute without it

A list of things, should you be of the gifting persuasion
But yeah that should be good advice still.

I smell a Disney Channel sitcom...
But at least he's putting that impulse to good use.
Did they run on a platform of constructing a winter sports complex called "Ice Town"?

Speaking of German politicians:
After the constitutional court ruled last year that parents can't be forced to register their baby as either female or male the German cabinet now has approved a third option - "diverse" (or various/miscellanious depending on translation) - for all official records.
Dammit my awesome pop culture reference was beaten by 8 hours, I am but a shell of a man.
But eventually I'll come out at work and then can discard that shell for good!
