Rest in peace 🫂

25 years ago my super Christian parents knew about trans people and children who identified as trans. There were news shows about trans kids. They didn't care.

I think a lot about how we got here and about how this was inevitable.

Have you checked Rubies? Rubyshines.com

I haven't tried them but I've heard good things and they seem like a great company.

These comments are so wholesome

You're probably right that it wouldn't stand out. The only comments I'd get would be 'so, you're having a mid life crisis huh.' Something like that....

Ooo signet ring is a cool idea.

cis people are truly clueless

Lol. I think I'm starting to learn this.

It's awesome you were able to explore your feminity so openly. I'm in the US south so there's still a pretty low bar to being viewed as unacceptably feminine. Reading as gay is something I'd prefer to avoid just as much as being trans.

That being said, even with how bad things are getting I don't think I've internalized how accepting most people are these days. Finding a more feminine style that works for me will take a while probably.

I want to wear it for myself, and not necessarily male coded jewelry but stuff I could wear without raising questions with friends or coworkers.

I'd love to have earrings. Also just random rings and bracelets. I love semi precious stones so probably stuff with a lot of that.

If not, feel free to rant away here.

That's a fair take. After seeing everyone else advice I think I was projecting too much.

Well, I scheduled an appointment with a therapist. Said I wanted to talk about gender identity issues, amongst other things. The first time I've ever revealed myself IRL. It felt good, and was kind of exciting too.

I watched it all and several of her other videos and ill be watching more. Thank you. Is the height and hair thing true? My body hair and balding are what trigger my dysphoria the most.

Is just "trying" HRT a thing? A doctor will just prescribe it estrogen and anti androgens?
