The past week has been quite the mix of highs and lows.
Couple of rough patches with partner.
Having a very affirming experience in Ann Summers, getting my first lingerie under her guidance.
Having my referral to the gender identity clinic confirmed.
Because you’re focused on the visuals from a single user perspective…
It’s not been a good week tbh…
Had a very rough patch with my partner that we’re trying to work through, but it’s tough.
A lot of tears, some minor self harm, emotions on an erratic seesaw.
Weekend plans are some shopping, see my new nephew, some time with my daughters and preparations for vacation next week.
Way down the street at the moment…
That’s a pity, but also very understandable.
Thank you for taking the time to reply ❤️
I’ve had a lot of cats as pets over my life to date.
Three of my favourite were all black kitties.
Then there was my dark tortoiseshell who will always have a special place in my heart.
Have a lovely break! ❤️
Speaking of that instance… has there been any progress on federating with them again?
I was surprised to see little talk about Donald’s Jan6th charges on my feed, but after flipping accounts I realised most of the chatter was going on over there.
I don’t particularly mind if I need a dedicated LW account… but it would be nice to be able to keep my posts consolidated under this one.
Honestly, I’m usually cuddling my little round kitty or Blahaj as I’m drifting off to dreamland…
Very much ups and downs here…
Had my assessment with my private medical cover over my gender identity wtf
Counselling sessions start this week.
Saw friends at the weekend which was nice… apart from the actual bbq being a pretty heavy disaster for my partner and me.
It is a fun game, but if you know what you’re doing it’s so exploitable to get powerful components early.
NB genderfluid checking in here.
Find it interesting that you say that as biologically male you identify more as a man.
Though I do fall that way on occasion, when I lean away from a neutral they position I tend to lean towards she/her more often than not despite being born male.
The amusing thing here is that since coming out, I find panties to be way more comfortable than any of my boxers…
Came out as non-binary a couple of months ago… of the genderfluid variety.
Every day is a learning day as I try and accept and discover more about myself.
When asked I give my pronouns as they/them though there is a distinct feminine leaning much of the time.
Start counselling for it on Monday… I’m very nervous though I recognise it is a positive step to take.
Back when reddit premium was a thing I was quite happy to sub to that to pay towards costs, and make use of the benefits like X gold to give people per month and increased sub limits etc
Then they messed about with all that and I dropped my sub …
And I haven’t been back since the protests started so 🤷♀️
Mental health is extremely important and often overlooked.
Thank you for everything you’ve done to date.
Take your time and we’ll all be here when you’re ready ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I’ve been struggling with gender identity for a bit now.
On the fluid side I find it interesting/amusing they talk about days or weeks…
Frankly I’ll wake up and not really know what I feel like for a bit… causes a lot of dozy first thing confusion and frustration.
Heck in a conversation with my partner depending on mood I’ll flick between he, they and she … which can be extremely confusing for both of us.
Trying connect for lemmy at the moment… but I’ll add that to my list until I settle on my preferred mobile experience… thanks!
Prepare for a rabbit hole… but this ought to get you started…
Don’t… the comments by our (UK) minsters yesterday were appalling and very concerning…
