Personally I don’t think it’s ever too much unless It’s causing discomfort and you can’t stop.
HAVING SAID THAT I read your post this morning before my new toys came including flexible sounding stuff that I’d been wanting to try for a while and it got lost INSIDE MY URINARY TRACT…WTF…it came out when I peed but wtf.
Felt incredible but haven’t experienced fear like that in a while.
You’ll also enter an industry still dominated by men who act like they’re in the 1950’s.
Maybe that’s easier to deal with if you’re personally unaffected.
Girls love goblins
Don’t trust people who think they have all the answers (myself included). Try not to compare yourself to other people, forge your own path one step at a time. There’s only so much we can control. It seems like the biggest immediate hurdle is just finding a safe place to live and exist.
Try to ask for help wherever it’s available. I’m not in the US but it seems like Seattle and surrounds is the place to be if you can get there. Bellingham maybe. Local FB trans/queer housing page where I live is still active.
Try not to let most recent social stuff decimate your self worth. If you’re anything like me you’ve rebuilt before. It’ll get easier with time.
Everything you’ve mentioned in this situation is a valid reason to feel the way you do. That would put me into crisis too.
There are good people out there, including people that will meet you where you are, understand and help.
Sometimes you just have to hang on for dear life.
Survive by any means necessary.

It’s almost as if it means to grab us
Not sure I ever existed any other way, hence long history of self medication. But I’m learning schema therapy at the moment and using Lemmy to talk about concepts helps to solidify them so here’s some unsolicited advice.
Shame is never going to be conducive to getting out of that cycle. You can’t self flagellate yourself out of it, but your brain might depend on shame in order to reaffirm what you think you know to be true about yourself and to stay in a familiar cycle.
Schema uses a model including ‘neurotypical critic’ to simplify all these messages we internalise from a society that focuses on optimisation and productivity. Beliefs we form about ourselves that typically solidify by the time we’re 5 years old.
The city is so beautiful this time of year. Today I’m going to try to write down some thoughts and watch the local waterfowl
The comic is false knees and I’ve never seen a better depiction of birds, not even from birds
Tell that to my wife
The trick is to wear nothing underneath
Had a sweet experience lately with this older guy who was talking about his experiences in the area as a young person, he didn’t really stop walking, just slowed pace so it didn’t feel like a tonne of pressure or threatening in the slightest.
It’s a bit of an art. Good on you for getting out of your comfort zone.
Someone should write a Dr Seuss style book about this circular debate on voting so people can move on and argue about more pertinent stuff.
If you don’t move on and find it in yourself to be angry at the system as a whole then you’re still going to be ranting about this in 20 years. It’ll become a part of who you are.
The system catered to white suprrmacy and wealth, exactly as it was designed.
Hmmmm. Evolutionary psychology and using animals to understand human gender expression is a bit suss.
Triplets born

Sonic underground They made a vow Their mother will be found.
The triplets grow and learn what’s right
Leaders of the freedom fight

Will the prophecy come true…?
Sonic underground They made a vow their mother will be found
I Miss my children but I have to wait
To act too soon could seal their fate
They made a vow their mother will be found
