I just hope the Barrel pulling out of their little oopsie-doodle makes you feel better about your hurricane relief being reduced to an Amazon link for umbrellas and a cat poster that says “HANG IN THERE!"

Sue Doug Ford for cutting hospital finding.

In my 8-or-so years of using it with my partner, close friends, and some family, the only occasion where I turned it off was when visiting a jewelry store for an engagement ring.

I know I have less privacy in principle, but I’ve never had an issue crop up so far.

Transition is wild! I already had what I felt was a happy and fulfilling life, and transition just brings it all to a new level. I went full time just a couple weeks into HRT, and changed my online socials 4 months into HRT.

I finished legal transition around that time, too.

I started to be cis-passing around 6-7 months? Which is way earlier than I anticipated. I’m still getting used to that, but yes, it’s just been 100% positive.

I’m also super lucky that my partner is bi (but more physically attracted to women; I am a trans woman). She was actually pretty excited about my transition from the beginning. She’s been suuuper supportive and very into the changes that have occured. I wish everyone could have a partner like her during their transition, she lifts me up when dysphoria drags me down.

I’m curious what made your egg crack, and how it’s all going with HRT?

I had a similar timeline. Joined Beehaw during the API migration, egg cracked September 2024. HRT November 2024.

About 250 meters, as the crow flies. My wife, as well. It is no longer a hospital, though.

• Being vulnerable, but not oversharing / overbearing, will actually provide an opportunity to deepen your friendships. They will appreciate knowing what you’re feeling and folks respond better to vulnerability than you expect.
• The right time to reconnect with an ex is when you are better and over them. If you still feel incomplete without her, then it’s the wrong time. Cliché but true: you must love yourself before you can be loved.
• Therapy could really help you work through these feelings. If you cannot afford therapy, look for support groups in your area. Just hearing other people going through similar situations can help.
• Build up non-romantic relationships while you are still so raw. A.k.a. hang out with your friends, open up and ask for their support, and be there for them. If you try to find romance while you’re not over your ex, you’ll make mistakes and maybe open old wounds, compare your new partners in unfair ways to your old ones, and just generally have a bad time.

I wish you luck. A breakup is never easy and it sounds like she means the world to you. It’ll never be right, but it will be okay.

This was a very wordy article and I’m not sure I got anything out of it. It’s in our best interests to act in long-term thinking but politics favors short-term thinking. Whatcha gonna do about it?

Settled on it after 2 years of Dvorak, 1 year of Colemak, and 1 month of Workman.

Though, I mainly use Plover stenography when I’m working, Norman for gaming, and Qwerty on mobile or as-needed (e.g. other people’s computers or while taking notes on my iPad for D&D)
