I forgot that it’s my mega week so no big info dump this time. Instead I bring a question: how do you practice gender self-care? Do you have any activities or rituals that make you feel more comfortable in your gender? Painting my nails and taking care of my hair are the most consistent ones. These shouldn’t even be considered gendered activities by society, but I missed out on having long hair and painted nails when I was younger because of my assigned gender, so doing them now feels validating and gives me confidence.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It’s for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Going to get my permit (again) today, hopefully license by the end of July if not sooner because I’ve got gay shit I wanna do.
By the end of summer I will be a car driving gay. I’ll have a job, hit my savings goal (Although I have to buy a car so it won’t last long at that number), my one year hrt anniversary will be coming up. I’ll be in a good state and a city instead of bumfuck nowhere. If things work out I’ll get to have two bucket list experiences I’ve been wanting.
god what a time. This time next year I’m hoping to be in such a good spot.
i’m so happy for you! car driving gay is such a great position to be in, you get so many friends and the only price is driving them places
Next year you’ll be in a better spot! You already climbed up. You’ll keep climbing.
