Water.

Rightfully so.

I expect to see blue ones on lawns, fences, and littering the city over the next year or more. That’s common here. The other parties clean up pretty fast. Conservatives and their supporters trash the world.

Careful though, Stephen Harper is tied up in a bunch of global white supremacy R&D

She was from the extremist party which conservatives merged all right leaning parties they could to keep Alberta oil and gas proud and run by rich elite in the USA.

Also conservatives keep having investigations over corrupt internal politics and cheating for leadership within; and they keep firing anyone who probes.

Much of Alberta is polar opposite but rural and oil and gas peons keep pushing for their own demise without understanding or intentional hatred.

As fashions shift I suppose. We had a huge nekomimi thing forever and eventually a generation grew with that oversaturated market and went the other way.

Eventually the pendulum will return to cat girl supremacy era.

Another helpful phrase I got from someone this past year:

I am the expert on my own experience.

He didn’t get much time with the new waifu apparently.

But he has a NB kid who’s vocal and he supports his kids. He’s being very careful of wording, keeping it broad and generic that everyone has rights. Right now the trans community here locally is supporting and confident we aren’t in immediate threat from carney.

She’s been doing that since day one

Premium comment, and yes to much of this to some variety.

Go out there and become yourself. Being the new you and taking care of that new human, whether better self care or different self care, is a learning curve but the best way to go forward.

Married 9 years, together 15. I came out at the end of 2022 and started transition right at the start of 2023. She was always Bi leaning but never in practice at the time, but heavily into fashion, some queer culture, and drag race. I was busy playing MMORPG’s and living there instead of irl, because, well….. I was able to present fem in games, obv.

When I first came out, it wasn’t a surprise to either of us really cause I’d been skirting around it the entire time we were together. I began as presenting a gender but not aligning with it, and people very close to me knew that. I already leaned more there since the beginning and we’d played with some clothing and sexual experiences, but I got in my own way of most euphoria because of how I was programmed as a child. Once I broke down my own mental barriers (and am still working through some) things have been great.

When I first came out…. It was hard. She still loved me, but was needing lots of time to process her own feelings and thoughts. She has higher anxiety to begin with and of course her mind took her on a bit of a journey. We both had fears that we’d end up divorcing, which was complicated as we had a child that just turned 2 before I came out and started, and we still kind of wanted a second child. It normally takes her a bit of time to process and be able to put words to her thoughts and feelings, but this took quite some time…. Months later, when we were both able to approach it together, we discussed fears.

It came down to fear of outsiders, where we live in Canada and family On her side more, she was born here but her family came here from Vietnam during war, my family was already a little broken and I didn’t have solid relationships with any of my family. (Spoiler, I got myself diagnosed while transitioning and of course I have AuDHD and it explains most of my childhood and family experience, atop being trans). We were able to approach it how we’d dealt with everything to this point, together. Discuss our thoughts and feelings about it, find common ground or a shared understanding, and plan for how to handle it.

I was worried about being left alone, but she was worried I’d change sexuality and leave her, resolved as I don’t even like speaking to Men and we were able to have a more in depth discussion about attraction and sex that we’d ever had before. Fear of breakup helps open up any remaining barriers when you’ve got everything to lose. How would our family deal with it and were we ready to handle it, her’s was a mystery but it happens that her Dad passed a few months prior (part of the egg cracking lol) and that meant the family might not be guided in a hyper misogynist as hard as it was before. My parents divorce when I was younger and I didn’t get along with my older sibling. I was at a point I’d been so frustrated with my family interactions I was ready to walk away from it all. I’ve built a better relationship with my Mom, cut off my Brother, and my Dad lives on the other side of the country and I rarely speak with him, which is meh as he’s not horrible but worked in trades his whole life and has unresolved childhood trauma sooo…….

We also had a friend of mine through mmo’s who’s partner started to transition a few years prior, and they ended in divorce and trying to raise their child while being some distance apart. That led to some fears for ourselves, but once we sat and broke it down we didn’t think that’d happen to us. Different people, different circumstances. Mainly, my friend is strictly cishet and their ex partner went fem, then enby I think?

After discussion, it took a bit of time to come around, but through all of that some key things were established. Her attraction to me won’t be greatly affected by transition and, well, she’s Bi and wanted to stick around and see where we end up, she was along for the ride.

It didn’t even take the whole year for us to adjust. It took 15 months for me to get access to HRT cause of course it would, and my dysphoria was too much to wait wait, soooooo I just went ahead and transitioned in reverse order from how I’d like. I’d gotten over all the hurdles of removing facial hair, wearing wigs, makeup, and wearing dresses and skirts in public, and transitioned completely at work. While that played out, our invisible distance shrunk. We got closer, and closer, and at this point we’re closer and more solid than we were for the entire relationship.

We also managed to conceive child #2 while I was still waiting for HRT and once I got it we had the kid a month later. I consider that a successful attempt and playing with loopholes in the system, then fighting god and doing my own character customization.

And some of us managed to reproduce before/during transition so we can continue our legacy even further

Almost at 2 years on HRT though so it’s less of a nuisance but the pit I succumb into when I do get dysphoria about it has grown with every waiting day.

Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Congrats!!

Exactly the reason I’m scrolling here, bottom dysphoria is hitting hard right now and I’ll come here to lighten the load.
