First, for pronouns and gendering. People can do it. They just make excuses. My granddad, who was in his 90s, used to correct other people about my pronouns and stuff at family gatherings. So, there’s no excuse for uhhh I’m old or uuhhh it’s hard. Man cannot remember breakfast, but cared to get my pronouns right.
Second, you look lovely, I’m sorry you had such a rough day. :(
aawwawaawaawawaw many text, but wish u okay, and as always pretty photo
Oh honey I am so sorry. Dealing with people who barely make an effort is so fucking exausting. Maybe you can talk to your bf after you collect yourself and do some self care. His comment was definitely unhelpful at a time when you needed a hug and a friend.

It’s alright to be angry at loved ones sometimes. A sprinkle of anger is healthy to channel into being assertive about boundaries.
I’m sorry you had a tough day. I hope that posting here helps you process. I don’t know if you like hugs, so feel free to imagine something else that would be comforting, but I wish I could just give you a big hug and squeeze you tight until you feel a little better 🥺
Fuuuuck.
Im sorry, that totally sucks! Its always hard when the people closest to you hurt you the most, even when they didnt intend for it. Sending you love and support, here's hoping tomorrow is a much better day!
Today sucked. A lot. Things that I shrugged off pre-HRT can really upset me know. But even so...I wouldn't change a thing. I'd never stop taking E. Because I like having emotions, the good, bad and ugly. I don't enjoy being an emotionless zombie, like I was pre-HRT.
I can cry. I can let it out. HRT is the greatest gift life has bestowed upon me and I am forever grateful.
This is so extremely relatable and nice to read. It's exactly the way I feel too. I do get way more upset with things sometimes, but i actually feel them emotions and i feel like they've been processed when they're done. I cried for 90 straight minutes the other day because I tried to go out to a trans meetup and I got incredibly socially anxious and had a panic attack and I had to leave. It's because I cared more, and it's because i'm actually capable of feeling emotions now. It's so much better than it was before, even in its saddest and most painful moments.
It was really nice to read you put it into words from your perspective. Sorry you had that dogshit day. Better days will come.
I was following along until the bf stuff. What helps me is communicate up front, do I want to be heard, helped, or hugged. Three Horizons framework. Go easy on bf, it’s easy to misunderstand especially over the phone.
"I'm not here. This isn't happening."
