The biggest step is self-acceptance. Congratulations and I'm proud of you!

Keep em guessing! Video game character creators are such useful gender playgrounds I think.

Yeah basically, as best i can with what I've got to work with! I'm still early in transition, im very much looking forward to getting closer and closer to the woman I've wanted to be my whole life.

That I don't hate myself.

Irish people use the contraction when the "have" is possessive. "I've a new dress" is a perfectly usual thing to say in Ireland.

Someone pointed out to to me that I'd basically been making the same woman every time. Just as close to that woman as each game would let me. Turns out I was trying to make myself this whole time.

I haven't actually played a game with a character creator recently but I think maybe now I might be more interested in playing as other women, that aren't me.

Came across a really cool musician who's name was an unusual feminization of my deadname and I liked it.

Are you me? Gosh it's like I'm reading a comment I wrote and forgot about!

Anyone in the UK on HRT and getting blood tests? I am going through the onboarding process for GAHT via Imago.tg.

Imago provide the full list of tests I need to take, but I can only contact my GP via their online intake forms. They do provide a space to ask for a nurse appointment for a blood test, but I'm a little cagey about outing myself to them if they will not actually help me. They don't have a way for me to just ask "can i see my GP" so i can talk to them in person.

As for private options, i only seem to see the off-the-shelf stuff at superdrug and the like, and none of their off-the-shelf offerings have the range of tests I need in them.

I'd love some advice from someone in the UK who's going through this process.

Hi, I'm Domi.

Long time lurker, first time poster. I just wanted to say that you have all helped me a great deal.

It's been long and slow journey unpacking the huge pile of internalised phobias that were pumped into my brain as an assumed male growing up in the 90s and 2000s. I have spent a long time in this very self-loathing "everyone is valid except me" way of thinking.

I've been reading your stories for a long time, the beautiful trans joy and difficult and terrible things too. You being here, being yourselves in all your glory, it has been a way for me to feel community and connection even before I could admit to myself who I really was.

So thank you all, thank you for sharing your joy, thank you sharing your hard times, thank you so much for being who you are. You've done more to help me than you can know.
