Hey anon, I appreciate you asking to get involved but frankly the comment about wanting to touch my hair feels inappropriate for someone you want to work with. If you feel okay with saying things like that to me, it makes me hesitate when I think about how you might talk to other contributors and what kind of space that creates for them

There’s no “right” way to be trans or transition, which can make it overwhelming to start. It’s a journey of self discovery. You might start by trying on different types of clothing or seeing how different names and pronouns feel. A haircut or growing out your hair—depending on which direction you’re going. If you want to change your body you might look into hormone replacement therapy. The most important thing is finding out what you need to be comfortable in being yourself

Hey thanks for the encouragement. I want to be clear that I was talking about my risk for assault, not suicide. I have absolutely every intention to die of old age. I fear for my safety from others

I only have bleach in my highlights! I have a lot of grey so that probably helps haha. But I wash maybe twice a week and condition and use leave in conditioner and I use dry shampoo in between washes. I air dry and try to stay away from heat. My hair is very soft :)

I did! A couple times. And I read the books and watched house of the dragon too

lol so part of surgery prep is hair removal around the surgery site. I’m not sure exactly how that will look when things are rearranged but it looks really awkward right now. I’m currently planning to do a full Brazilian laser just so everything looks the same. If it ends up looking more normal then I’ll probably leave it. I don’t have strong feelings about pubes tbh

Whelp that’s pretty gross. Hopefully it gets taken down. Some people live very sad lives

I just tried and I did 3!

Wtf who can break a walnut in their bare hands. Sounds fake. Also I keep my nails short…ladies 😉

You’re not in love with me, I’m just attractive and nice. You deserve more than that, anon. Reserve your love for someone who shows genuine specific interest in you. You don’t want an idea of a person up on a pedestal, you want a real partner who tangibly improves the quality of your life. The more time you spend wishing I was that person is time you’ve been unavailable to the person you really want to be with. I appreciate the compliment though 🩷

Probably vegan lmao

Thank you! I wore that outfit today kind of defiantly because I feel so dysphoric about my shoulders and it’s really a struggle for me to feel cute in something like that. So it means a lot to me for you to say that 🩷

This is either a reference to the hit tv show LOST or the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

This is so random haha I guess it depends on the size of the cake but I probably could not eat a whole cake by myself in a single day 😂 I don’t really have cake that often so yeah I can definitely go more than a month without cake. I don’t recall the last time I had cake tbh.

I’m not sure I’ve ever had banana cake that sounds interesting! But I pick chocolate. I would love some chocolate cake right now 🤤

I’m getting my bills paid. There’s nothing to panic about. Even if for some reason I couldn’t afford to work on elementary OS as my job anymore that doesnt mean the community goes away. We’ve been around for like 15+ years now, I wonder when we hit 20 years if people will stop wondering if we’re gonna disappear someday lol

When I was younger I really wanted to live in Santa Cruz. I love the ocean and it’s definitely my goto when I want to run away for a day. So that’s a top contender. The San Francisco Bay Area in general is a rad place and BART is a huge selling point. I haven’t fallen in love with SoCal in the same way as NorCal but maybe I need to spend more time in like San Diego than LA. California is such a big place I have barely explored it

Imposter syndrome is real and can be super hard to get over. Despite current societal attitudes, nobody is entitled to your medical history. Being stealth or being out, these are choices you should make because of your own comfort, not because of a sense of guilt or obligation

In real life, I don’t tell people that I’m trans. The harsh reality is that it’s more safe and the world is more kind when people assume that you’re cis

Nice try officer. I would never pirate television shows or movies and I certainly didn’t pirate tons of music on limewire as a teenager. And I’ve only played backup roms of physical video games for consoles that I definitely own.

But if I was a pirate it would probably be because I can’t purchase certain content because of convoluted licensing agreements between various streaming platforms and I generally do pay for content given the option

Oh you criminal! Society! https://youtu.be/jBwuLyg1Coo?si=55cdLN165kFAGhIy

Aww thank you, Anon. I hope that you find yourself able to come out soon. It’s definitely scary to come out and it can be disruptive, but it is entirely worth it to be free. It is transformative. The number one regret I hear from people is not coming out sooner, even from people who have lost jobs, homes, family. I would highly recommend prioritizing building a life that makes that possible for yourself 🩷

No I have not. I’m not attracted to men or male presenting folks sorry 🩷
