Like I’ve known since the early-mid 10’s, but I’ve only really ever been trans online.
I’ve just stagnated in boymode for years taking shit dosages of HRT cuz I’m poor.

Seeing people’s eggs crack in real time and then a year later they are a woman is like a surreal and painful experience.
On one hand it feels like I have been trans longer than all these people, but on the other…have I?

I see people make timelines like “5 months on HRT vs. 2 years on HRT” (or stuff like that) and know I could never do one of those because my relationship to HRT has been so chaotic and inconsistent.

I just feel so alienated from the trans community, or at least the one that constantly gets pushed into my face on Twitter.

I’m making an active effort to be better, to push myself and escape this purgatory, but it’s hard when you feel so by yourself.

I feel like the last couple years would have been so much worse if I had remained an egg, but at the same time I wouldn’t have this guilt and shame and regret for wasting so much time that I know is completely my fault.

Idk why I am making this post

Looking at trans timelines is the mind killer tbh. Stop doing that.

Its useful for like, surgical info or understanding what hrt does, but it should also be noted a lot of people choose their best pics to upload and so on, the Instagram effect.

I don’t seek them out, I just get shown them because I am trans and other trans people on twitter are attention addicts.

I need to learn this. I joined a trans selfies group on Facebook and found myself being like, “wait where are the before pictures?”
