Ah hi, I don’t know if you’ll see this or not but here. I am glad you challenged my ways of thinking and created questions beyond just going off my experiences. My views have changed drastically to be honest, I’ve realized it just doesn’t matter what other people do in regards to being trans. Do wha...

I guess I just need to vent, and the title says a lot of that. CW - violence against trans people, including murder. It's insane, I can't get an accurate number, but I'm seeing 19 transgender murders in the US this year, apparently 9 in just the last 10 days. Dustin Parker, Monika Diamond, Neulisa L...

I really like and have been following this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1H-V ... ZG8lY5AxWg

I love all the other things posted here!

I didn't think being around people could more stressful is the biggest thing. With that though, I'm pretty used to this as the new normal. Part of my province is opening up, one of the other major cities are still not allowed to because they still have quite a large number of cases, whereas my city,...

I believe I've said this before around binding but --- You don't need to be trans in order to take birth control. I have multiple cis friends who use birth control in order to suppress or stop their periods. If it's something that makes you uncomfortable, you have every right to find ways to allevia...

When I think of what I want in a relationship, and how I want to receive love and affection I really look at my parents' relationship. I love all the little jokes they leave for each other, the cute notes, or even the way when my mom comes home after a long day at work the first person she looks for...

I love what Amanda is saying here, I know you don’t want to report this assault so I would be sure to ask that if you call, or talk to anyone - ask for their confidentiality rules first before disclosing any information. There are a few other places you can talk about this with - for example because...

Bubble tea really is the best. And a perfect idea for a date IMO. I hope you’re able to get some, I know I can’t wait for my place to open. My friend has made some a few times since the start of quarantine and has been teasing me about it, so I’m excited. I’m just glad that for right now things are ...

Yeah, I think a lot of what's on that first one is just basic respect for each other, boundaries will continue to be set but really, I don't think I'm throwing a whole lot of expectations in. Like I think we're waiting to talk about where we want this to go for a little while until we can go on a bi...

Yeah, taking it slow really helps. I always try to take relationships of any kind really slow and building trust that way, with evaluations and reflections of how it all feels. Honestly she seems really chill, and things feel pretty natural in that sense. If anything, even if things don't work out, ...

Ah so a lot is going on, for right now at least my mental health seems okay-ish, I kind of just haven't been using social media all that much because I don't really need that and have been doing a lot with my family or just really keeping busy - Like I used power saws today for cutting wood to make ...

Yeah, they just reopened offleash dog parks where I live (with lots of new rules) so I get to go back on the trails with my pup, and it's really beautiful out so hopefully that'll be really nice. Little things like that, especially when it's so nice out are awesome, I just hope it isn't too busy bec...

It would have been unethical if she didn't, so instead of just saying "I can't help you" she phrased it as "I don't know how much I'm going to be able to support you through this, so we should find the services that would be a better option for you." which is chill. It did really...

Yeah, I'm doing my best to do that stuff, so that's Okay, so I actually got done therapy about 20 minutes ago, and so that went pretty wack. Basically, we talked about things going on, we talking about my feelings she said she doesn't know what to do, then we got my mom. So, she said that we have ha...

She still came upstairs and at first she thought I was just bored and she does think that plays a role into it - but not just boredom, she explained that some more. Being stuck in a house with no other human contact other than those in my family is hard and she thinks that is making it hard for ever...

Okay I know this is another post but things are so freaking hard right now and I really just need to like say things so I hope that's okay. I'm exhausted, every little thing just seems to take so much energy out of me. Simple acts like going to the bathroom when I actually should, speaking to those ...

Thank you <3

Thank you, Heather.

I just really wish I could have a break from feeling this way honestly. Everything hurts at this point and although I don't know what my mom will be able to do, maybe just talking to her will help. I really need to get out of this rut though.

I wanted to give a little bit of an update, if anything just to kind of get some things out. So I had therapy yesterday, I had a meeting with my school counsellor today (that was mainly just about math because she's also a math teacher) and then I talk to my other therapist tomorrow, so that's like ...

This thread is so cute! Today was really awesome, I could tell immediately today there was no way I was going to be able to focus on my school work (just one of those days) and was starting to stress out, so I grabbed my brother and went for a run on the trails and through my neighbourhood. We came ...

I did end up calling healthlink last night just to see like what the best decision would be that way and also ask a few questions there, she did end up suggesting going to my doctor just because of the amount of pain it puts me in, everything else with it is normal and so that wasn’t the concern, bu...

Hey, tomatopotato, Ugh, I totally get where you're coming from with this, I have a brother who does the same thing as far as the slurs, actually, we just had a conversation about it. I like a lot of the things Jacob presented and sometimes it does really help to have facts on hand too, however a lot...

Thank you, Amanda, Yeah I kind of got to the point where like either way it's pain, I mean I don't like that and it's weird just how society views it but yeah, that's a larger cultural issue. I read through the article and I do a lot of those, it just so happen to take vitamins that are mentioned th...

Alright! So, I just had my session with Michelle and like, she's awesome, I think anyways. Today was somewhat as I figured with going over the essential things and going over what my parents talked about last week. What that looked like though was a lot different than what I had done before, she ask...

So, I know with periods some pain is pretty normal but as I look more into those things and talk a little more with my friends and also like as time goes on I'm feeling a little more concerned I guess, and thinking it couldn't hurt to ask. My mom has told me her periods have always been painful, and...
