thank you for your service 🫡

ahaha, sorry if this hit a bit close to home :) I went through this a few weeks ago and it was pretty cathartic

I have read people saying it happened to them but it does seem like a ymmv type of thing. Since I went through puberty I’ve felt pretty empty and disconnected so I’m hoping HRT will be able to do some heavy lifting for me in that regard.

I was just so miserable even though I should have been happy

I can relate to this. I know objectively I’m not in a bad place but I just feel passively awful all the time. I think I’ve felt euphoria just from imagining the kinds of clothes I’d wear if I transitioned. It was a positive kind of rush that doesn’t compare to how I usually feel in the slightest. I guess I’m not doubting that I’m trans so much as I am restless to actually transition. I am in an awkward place atm but hopeful that I’ll be able to start HRT in the a couple years at most. Did you get any kind of mood boost just from hormone therapy itself? I am not opposed to socially transitioning, I am just not sure how helpful it could be on its own.

For what it’s worth I’m in a similar place as yourself and have had pretty much the exact same thoughts about transitioning. I’m coming to terms with the fact that the only person who has to live my life is me and if transitioning can make me happier then I owe it to myself to explore my options at least. Hope you can figure out what works for you and live your best life ♥️

It would be nice if it were this easy for everyone! It wasn’t even that easy for me, truth be told. Not pictured are the years I spent in denial thinking things like “every guy wants to be a cute girl” or similar that are very eggy in hindsight. If it wasn’t for lemmy I’d probably have taken another few years to crack because I filtered egg_irl on reddit years ago probably for some reason like “well these are relatable but I’m not trans so it’s not really for me” lol.

oh yeah, its time to get :3

oh for sure. Incredibly cis, no doubt about it :)

Gosh I’d love some emotional depth 🥺. The boobs and softer skin too, of course.

I used to study networking, albeit at a pretty beginner level. IPv6 has been around for nearly 30 years at this point, so I’d be surprised if the hardware github uses doesn’t support it. The impression I got was that it’s pretty easy to extend an IPv4 address space so there isn’t any rush to make a large scale move to IPv6 everywhere.
