I know this is reposted to lemmy so people are understandably going to connect those dots but OOP was talking about cohost, a site very similar to tumblr. Many people (including myself) jumped ship from tumblr to cohost following a series transmisogynistic bans and censorship from tumblr’s staff. Cohost was run by 4 people, didn’t run ads and was funded entirely by the community. It was honestly the best social media platform I’ve ever used. Unfortunately it shut down in October 2024 due to lack of funding and developer burnout. In retrospect, OOP was right. The people I followed on cohost moved to discord servers or their own blogs, and while I didn’t engage much with my “community” on cohost while it was around, I lost a lot of what I used to see on there. I think lemmy and federated social media is more resistant to that because it’s spread across so many instances, but I think OOP has a point, smaller social networks like this and cohost aren’t stable. While I think tumblr and twitter are pretty horrible for many reasons and I don’t wish to go back, I can’t really blame OOP for their sentiments. Maybe one day we can have the best of both worlds.

who do you think we should trade for him?

Haven’t read all of the other comments or seen your hormone levels but your doc starting you on 200mg spiro is diabolical, i started on 50 and most start between 50-100. everyone is different so maybe you need that much but i’d talk to your doc about that.

As for the actual question, it took me like 8-10 weeks and ymmv. I also started on 4mg estradiol/day rather than 2. Also make sure you’re eating enough for fat redistribution. You’ll get there girl, don’t worry.

mainly because i’m a pistons fan lmao. 30 wins above last season is nothing to scoff at either. i honestly think it’s a toss up though.

i looked through your post history a little, i know it might be hard considering whatever feelings you may have had for her but i think it’s better if you just leave the group chat, block her, and move on. i’d take a break from dating for a while as well, and focus on your friendships and those who really care about you in your life. you deserve to have better friendships and relationships rather than seeking validation from your terrible sounding exes and stangers on lemmy. it’s probably not a good idea to post about all of this online anyway. you’re still in high school. do your homework, give your mom a hug, go outside for a bit, it’s nice out today. it’ll be alright.

this is genuinely such a helpful comment and many of these things have helped my dysphoria in the past. not OP but thank you for this

I think you fear hypothetical hate crimes and hypothetical regret more than your current very real misery. Refusing to let yourself live a life as yourself because of what might happen isn’t healthy.

Judging by your replies in this thread, you aren’t in an extremely dangerous area. I’m not sure where you live so I can’t say for certain, but there are queer people everywhere and before giving up hope entirely I’d look into what the queer community looks like in your area, irl or online. I live in a small town in the US with a lot of conservatives but I know at least a few queer people, and I’ve been medically transitioning for over a year now. It’s easier said than done of course but I think you should at least try; repressing yourself is only going to make you feel worse.

Regardless of what labels you find fit you best too, you should try to become the person you enjoy being the most. Whether that involves looking into HRT or presenting more feminine (which it seems you’ve started doing), or whatever you’d like, I think you should be yourself, regardless of what others might think. It’s not a commitment either, you can decide something’s not for you at any time.
