Hi! Thank you, I needed that ❤️

I had dinner with a couple of old close friends. I wasn’t ready to tell them about me yet. The whole dinner just felt weird not being able to talk about it.
I didn’t know how to act: myself or pretend and I felt a bit sick going back and forward between them. It was good to see my friends but the whole thing was just exhausting.
I’m sorry to hear that :( that sucks. Sending you my love and support. Be extra kind to yourself this week, you deserve it!
Oh yes I read something similar on the 60-80% thingy. I started measuring my biceps circumference to make seeing results a bit more tangible.
Let me know what worked for you, I’m interested too !
Hi! Not really and answer, but I’m in a similar situation muscle wise. I decided to visit a dietician to reduce muscles altogether in a healthy fashion and she recommended taking no more than 20 grams of protein every 2 hours or so. If you take more it will go to muscle build-up.
Still, it’s also important to get enough protein throughout the day, because you need it for just about anything (hair ✨ for one).
Spreading your intake throughout the day helps with not building more muscle mass (and potentially reduce it). She also told me E helps a lot, but I can’t speak from experience Hope it helps!
Thank youuu! Yes she’s truly amazing 😊 I’m baking her an apple pie this weekend as a little thank you for the happy moment and the dress ☺️
Hiya! This week I wrote the letter for my brother, which I’ve been dreading to write, with in it everything I want to tell him. He means a great deal to me, but he makes casual transphobic and homophobic comments. And some are super disrespectful.
I shared the letter with my mom (who knows, and is incredibly supportive 🥰) and she started crying and that made me cry just like when I wrote the letter 😭 She said it was great and contained everything. She’s so sweet, I love her so much!
Now I still have to pick a moment to read the letter to him and I’m scared. I’m scared for his reaction.
In other news, I started saying to myself that “I’m a woman” instead of constantly questioning it and it may seem dumb but it feels so good and fills me with confidence! 😊 I also started trying out my new name and it feels so right! I can’t stop giggling from happiness when I read it
Depends on where you are! I had a chat with my GP and they referred me to one. It’s included in my health insurance so it was kinda a no-brainer for me
Hi probably Amber, congrats! Great name btw :) It’s great that you wrote all this down! Writing can really help processing all the things on your mind! At least it does for me. When I was exploring I started to write everything I wanted to in a diary and it can be such a relieve sometimes just to put all your thoughts on paper or your phone.
My advice as a freshly cracked egg: Take it a step at a time. Maybe create a little timeline: 1. Get a therapist 2. Research what to do about balding 3. make a plan to lose weight etc
Do one little scary thing at a time and repeat until it’s no longer scary.
The only way is forward; you can make new girly memories. I started to, consciously and unconsciously, mimic women around me. Just like a little girl would I suppose to learn how to be a woman.
Sorry if I have too much unwanted advice!
Know that you’re not alone & be kind to yourself ❤️
I have postponed reading this for so long and now I decided to do it and I couldn’t stop reading because so many things resonated, thanks for sharing ❤️
Woow! You look a-mazing, it’s really cute!
