I was sadly a mix. Always gonna hate myself for that... There was never any anger behind it but still...
Eyeliner for sure. It's the one thing that actually makes me look and feel like me, and once I'm finished with laser I might actually be lucky enough that it works by itself
I've found that the further I get with laser the more bearable it is, not just easier in general but looking in the mirror while I do it. Just can't wait until I don't need to put so much work into covering what's still there when I'm wearing makeup
Could always put the link under a spoiler though, right?
I don't want my partner to fix me, they have enough to deal with already. I want to fix myself for them
Tell me about it. I'm with my first ever partner, they're absolutely amazing and I really don't know how I'd be doing without them, and yet every single tiny little thing makes me feel like they're gonna leave me even though I still believe them when they say they love me. I don't know what's wrong with my brain but I don't like it, I just wanna be able to believe they love me without constantly worrying that I'm doing something wrong
TLDR; obtaining and administering all necessary medications and blood tests yourself. Not everyone is willing or able to go through medical professionals for any number of reasons, mainly costs and medical gatekeeping. When done right the risks are minimal, though never nonexistent ofc.
Before 16? Maybe one or two, excluding myself, but we pretty much kept it hidden. Turns out there were way more of us and we all came out after we left secondary school and the awful environment the other kids created for us
That sounds pretty close to me tbf. I'm glad I am where I am right now (though it definitely needs improvement) but the majority of it feels like it's just happened around me with no real input
A doctor when I was really young, then for a long time I couldn't really imagine being anything. Now I'd be satisfied with whatever as long as I'm comfortable, financially stable, and happy
Getting my first round of laser today! I left it way longer than I planned (6 months since I started E) but I guess the next best time is right now. I do wish I got to it right after coming out but life clearly had other plans
