    Ouch. Some egg memes make me feel really seen and validated but this just one just kinda hits way too hard and makes me sad. Still whatever (cis I guess) though, but despite lots of introspection and the realization that maybe changing something would improve my situation, age and lack of a current friend group/support system, years of depression, and the costs associated with a whole new wardrobe, the mental burden of learning to fit in in an entirely different way, and the difficulty of finding someone I can even speak to about these things makes everything feel so out of reach that I just feel even more despair. Idk thanks for your memes and presence here, I recognize the username and you’re a beautiful presence. Idk why I’m even writing this comment except I’ve had a couple drinks.

      Now I can’t speak for your situation. But I am transitioning at age 35, there so many even older people that have started to transition. If you can look at Reddit subreddit translater is a great resource to see you are not alone.

      You don’t have to a new wardrobe tomorrow. Hell I been transiting for a year and most of my women wardrobe is just fun clothes to wear at home that I think I would die if I was seen wearing outside.

      It is lifelong journey but you dont have be at finish line tomorrow. Start small finding something to try in peace and quiet. In my case was this black tull skirt that made me spinn as chield

    Yeah, ALL cis males use dozens of filter apps to see what they look like as a woman and ask random strangers if they “think this girl is cute”

    Totally normal cis thing to do. Right guys?

    … Right?
