I think this is a really wonderful way of putting it- it's very much in line with my experience too. I did start off as bi though, specifically in regards to femboys. I still don't find myself romantically attracted to men, but it's become somewhat common for me to see certain men and be caught off guard with an "oh fuck, that guy is hot ๐ฅต" feeling like I have with women. I'm still not necessarily in a spot where I want to be sexually active with men, but the attraction is there.

Go post something anti-Elon and pro-Palestine and they'll permanently ban you. Problem solved
hey, thanks for taking the time to reply!
It's been about five years since I was last on estrogen and spiro. I can't necessarily recall a ton of mental health changes at that time due to being in a less than preferable living situation but I recall being really excited about having some breast growth and some lactation.
I didn't do a lot of social transitioning around that time either so can't really comment on how that would go for me. I know that the majority of my coworkers are transphobic and that they're not necessarily accepting.
Dysphoria really comes in waves, sometimes I don't think about it at all, and others it's on the very forefront of my mind. I'm looking into reaching back out to our DEI representative and asking for some advice within navigating this within my technician role, or possible new career avenues within the company as we're a global fortune 100.
HRT is definitely in the cards due to living in an informed consent state in a fairly progressive city, but it's still tricky trying to navigate living with everyone for weeks on end and not being able to do much about it. Even when I was on HRT I was still socializing as a man so that wasn't anything too crazy, but yeah, as I get older I start seeing more thicker body hair growth and I'm pretty unsatisfied with all that so I'd like to kinda nip that in the bud. I do IPL for hair removal and that works great but hormonal hair is a bastard to try to evict.
It's just y'know, again, living with the people and needing to use a locker room with them that makes it so intimidating. I don't want to cause damage to breast tissue with binders but I'm not sure how else to navigate that one comfortably when it's almost required to wear a short sleeve at certain points of the year. Same with being mostly hairless in the body department.
I don't think that HRT will be restricted in my state, but I also do a lot of international travel for my job and I have some concerns about ports of entry being a gender non conforming person when it comes to ICE harassment and foreign countries border controls. I'll figure something out. Every time I walk by a store and see a cute outfit I'm just internally dying a little bit..
also, advice is welcome, just had to get some of that out there.
aka MAGA is pissed off because there's less women and teenage girls for them to eyefuck.
I know, I'm very well educated on P2025.
So red state politicians are banning gay porn in some large scale mission to edge themselves harder? Motherfucker, leave it to them to involve everyone in their kinks v.v
dark hair and light skin here- ipl can be fairly expensive but it works incredibly. anecdotally, within three treatments it reduces my lower leg hair to zero where it's fairly thick. the only issue i have is the device i purchased was very entry level so it takes several hours to go over my whole body- that's why i've just upgraded to a ulike air 10- it'll be a little bit before i'm home to try it out but i'm very optimistic after watching a few reviews, some people say they can do a whole body treatment in under 30 minutes.
