Depending on when you come out or change your name and pronouns, being called by the “right” name and pronouns can feel weird for a while. This is because it’s new, not because it’s the wrong name or pronouns.
Even after coming out, you will misgender yourself. Maybe in your head, maybe in conversation, maybe both. This is normal. Laugh it off and move on.
Your dysphoria might get worse before it gets better. Coming out and starting hormones causes a lot of changes both socially and physically that can stir up dysphoric feelings. It will get better.
HRT can cause mood swings/fluctuations. Some people notice a dip in their mood before their dose, or a boost in it afterward. Some people on testosterone notice they get angrier easier, or more impulsive. Some people on estrogen notice they feel sadder/less energetic, or just more emotional in general. (They also sometimes experience the symptoms of PMSing without the actual PMS.) This is not universal, but it exists. If the symptoms get bad, TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR. They won’t just stop the HRT and tell you to go home. They WILL figure out a dosage that works best for you, and they WILL help you manage the side effects.
NOT ALL EFFECTS OF HRT ARE PERMANENT. Most aren’t. For T, a lower voice and hair growth or loss are permanent. For E, breast growth is permanent to a certain degree, and after a few months on E there’s a high likelihood of becoming sterile, which is also likely permanent.
When I was a kid on the internet in chatrooms and message boards, adults for some reason who either knew I was a kid or knew NOTHING about me would vent to me about their personal drama and tragedies and struggles and it was FAAAAAR too fucking much for me to handle emotionally.
I was like thirteen losing sleep and panicking and practically getting a goddamn ulcer over 38-year-old Martha’s child custody battle or 28-year-old Gus getting cheated on.
Honestly, try not to even do this shit to fellow adults unless you’re dearly close friends and know for sure it’s okay. Please respect that other people aren’t obligated to carry your worries on top of their own.
the grass in the original shrek movie is not grass. its hair. they used hair textures for the grass bc the actual grass for some reason in their computer modelling programs would not behave like grass so they used hair textures colored green.
elvis presley was a registered DEA officer who asked nixon for the title and was awarded it.
What else?
the great escape artist houdini was living in a time period where mysticism, fortune telling, ouija boards, seances and etc were becoming very common place and trendy. and he fucking hated it so much. so much that he would go to seances in disguise and make some bullshit off the wall shit like “my son died last year can you let me talk to him” and the seance person would be like ‘THIS IS YOUR SON HELLO FATHER’ then he’d rip off his disguise and be like YOU FRAUD I HAVE NO CHILDREN.
He died on Halloween night in detroit and as far as i know every year they hold seances on halloween trying to get in contact with his spirit. If seances work i bet his ghost is just pissed off and not responding out of raw spite.
foxes cant snarl like dogs and wolves cus the muscles in their muzzle dont allowe it so they just drop their jaws and scream.
I send all my love and positivity to those spending their pride month in households that don’t support them or their identity, or are in the closet, even if you’re out of the closet, and have family who supports you just know I LOVE YOU AND IM SO PROUD OF YOU, SHINE BRIGHT WITH BEAUTIFUL COLORS THIS MONTH!!
