@Caudle Man, Regular hornets can kill my ass.

So, Physically HRT is hyper effective even in low doses. My boobs are growing, I'm getting Curves, my skin is softening, my Smell is different, my Butt has changed shape, and my face is looking different after intermittent DIY treatment.
Emotionally and on the 'Gender Identity' front? This whole thing isn't taking us the direction it took all our other friends, we seem to be on an express train to Enbytown.
@SixArmedSweater Ask yourself who made you feel like your best wasn't good enough.
@plausocks So that's why my temperature lately has looked 'Wrong'
@plausocks I managed to find a weird dragon cave machine shop. Everyone's autistic, it's great.
It's possible to find good spots in industries like that, but you're correct, there's a toxic meathead culture to most metalworking industries.
I'm also of the opinion that Women make the best welders and machinists. I've done both before and after estrogen, and it's way easier to not get Angry with a machine on estrogen.
here's the tea on being 'unlovable'
everything you believe about your innate desirability and worthiness of love is a function of what you believe about yourself, and much as I respect you and value your insight, *some of the things you believe about yourself aren't true*
when you look in the mirror, you see things that remind you of yourself. the shape of your elbow, the shape of your chin, the space between your eyes, the mark on your forehead. these are just the things that make you recognize yourself. other people also recognize you by many of those things, and probably other things that you don't notice or see very much of
so when you look in the mirror and see a litany of flaws or ugliness, that isn't because those things "are flaws" or "are ugly": that is because you believe you are flawed and ugly, because that's what you've been taught to believe, and *those are the things you recognize yourself by.* anything about yrself that sticks out in your mind becomes an imperfection
