hi vidanjali !! i know exactly what you mean, i do have a few trans and otherwise queer friends nearby me but currently i present as 'cis' for obvious reasons so it's not all that easy for me to reach out and find that kind of community (though i do love my irls!!)
Ā
but yeah, i get this weird paranoia that if i come out to too many people it'll end up tracing back to my folks (not everyone knows my family is homophobic and being outed is a big fear of mine)
Ā
but im sooo happy to know that that feeling was just dysphoria !! i thought i was going crazy for a minute !!.
Ā
thanks so much for welcoming me, and you have a great day too !!
hi susan!! thats very much how i feel !! i have no issue explaining my gender or educating other people on transness but it feels like im talking to a brick wall of misinformation even if they are well-meaning and accepting people ! but thank you anyways for welcoming me here !!
This is a fairly long video by Philosophy Tube, Ā (Abigail Thorne) Ā Discussing some of Judith Buttler's work and related stuff.

I wasn't sure where to post it, so if there is a better place, move it.Ā
I have a fantastic therapist. She is so caring she has helped me open up so much. Unfortunately, She is ending her internship. Do to a hiring freeze at the VA she isn't going just go right into a position there.Ā My Endo is out of the Denver VA hospital. I haven't talked with her in probably 2 yrs. I amĀ looking to transfer providers and get back to seeing a GYN at the Cheyenne VA.Ā
Shopping at the mall today and helping out at Torrid I excused myself to the restroom. The manager told me the restroom at JC Penny was much closer (I normally use the family restroom in the food court).
Ā
Upon arrival I discovered that JC Penny doesn't have a family restroom, it's either or.
Ā
The men's room was occupied with customers, and me going in with large breasts, long hair, and makeup was going to cause a stir, so I opted for the woman's room instead. I was the only one in the woman's room.Ā
Ā
Texas state law does state that your must use the restroom that matches your chromosomes, and it's a misdemeanor to not do so, but it seemed to be the best choice (I really needed to go!)
Ā
I had some guy grab my butt on the ship.Ā I don't know how "real" it was, but I did not enjoy that at all.Ā Also did not enjoy the hazing I saw other people going through.Ā One person can only do so much to stop that when there are 10 people doing it.
