Hi, I’m Amy.

✨ New 🏳️‍⚧️ improved ♀️ version 👩‍❤️‍👩 out 🏳️‍🌈 now! 🎊

I live in Japan. Talk to me about Haskell, Scheme, and Linux.

日本語も通じます。

  • Tokyo Transbian Club

    Jump

  • The "cafe during the day" part makes me think of Anchor, but that's nowhere near a shopping center. So it presumably wasn't Nichome. Do you remember what area of Tokyo it was?

    Hmm, come to think of it Goldfinger is also a cafe on Sundays, and that's visible from the main road.

  • being a femboy wasn't enough

    Jump

  • Yay, another trans girl got her... wings? idk.

    HRT is awesome and it will feminize the bejeezus out of you. Probably.

  • Me: “they haven’t grown that much”. Also me checking my gallery: side profile pic of me... ok yeah, 9 months HRT is showing 😅

    Jump

  • Boobs! 🥳🫣💕

  • I just realised how insanely much I was dissociating as a kid

    Jump

  • I used to get something similar where kind of the color would drain out of the world and everything slowed down. Oh, and feeling like I was moving the road under my feet while I stayed still while walking.

    ADHD doesn't help with reading either :3

  • How did you come out to your family?

    Jump

  • I told my parents by email (I live halfway around the world from them), and my immediate family and coworkers in person. Everyone else got my new name at most when I next met them -- they'll figure it out, or not, in their own time.

    I suggest:

    • say what you are doing (eg, "I am going to live as a woman from now on")
    • say what you expect of them (eg, "I'd like you to call me Twilight Sparkle")
    • then shut up and wait for a response

    And if you're not expecting it to go well,

    • don't try to justify it
    • don't argue
    • don't bargain or downplay it
    • be prepared to just leave

    Good luck!

  • new hair color :)

    Jump

  • Nice! It really suits your skin tone too.

  • Just opened a new pack, good haul.

    Jump

  • Last time I checked, yes :3

  • Just opened a new pack, good haul.

    Jump

  • Well if we're all sharing :3

    The pills are progesterone.

  • Gender affirmation before diagnosis

    Jump

  • Congratulations! A couple of tips:

    Makeup is as difficult as you want to make it. Tutorials on YouTube are a good way to get an idea for what you can do, but the only way to really figure it out is to practice. I'd suggest learning one thing at a time, and if you like how it looks it's not wrong! For me the most effective things are mascara, eyebrows, eyeliner, and foundation, roughly in that order. It took me a ridiculously long time and a lot of different products before I got anywhere with eyeliner, btw.

    As for clothes, yes, wear what makes you happy! Be aware if you're buying online that stuff that looks good on the model may not suit you. And your shape will change a lot on HRT, so don't give up hope!

    Good luck <3

  • How's your week been?

    Jump

  • I also suck at platformers, and Celeste really taught me the value of persistence. The sense of accomplishment when I finally reached the summit was amazing.

    No spoilers, but there are plenty more great moments coming up :)

  • How's your week been?

    Jump

  • Eugh. Having to stop shaving for a few days prior to electrolysis. At this point I look like a girl wearing an extremely crappy fake moustache. Most of the rest of my face is clear now, but the upper lip is just endless. 😔

  • feel really weird not being able to do a masc voice anymore

    Jump

  • As you've discovered if your resonance is good you can speak at a low pitch and still sound like a woman :)

    Worst case you'll need to train for a bit if you want your male voice back in the future. But I think it's a good thing! Presumably you're going to want to go femme full-time at some point, and you don't want to accidentally make a clocky noise if you're startled or not concentrating.

  • Last week was my 2 year HRT anniversary so I wanted to share my progression

    Jump

  • That's a lovely dress and you look fantastic in it! Thank you for sharing -- I think it's so important for people to see just how much joy transitioning brings.

  • does my voice pass?

    Jump

  • Sounds like a girl to me! 👍🏼

  • "Oh, I didn't know you are a trans woman"

    Jump

  • It's not just me then, that's a relief! Must be an AuDHD thing 😅

  • "Oh, I didn't know you are a trans woman"

    Jump

  • That's great! Good for you <3

    But I can tell you what would have run through my brain:

    Wow, sounds like I pass! But wait, that's what she wants me to think! Which means she must have clocked me ages ago, and knew all this time! Oh, how hideously embarrassing! And she didn't let me know she'd clocked me, either. Wow, it must be really obvious. And clearly she's pretending that she didn't know to protect my feelings. Oh, why can't I be that considerate? I'm just a piece of human garbage.

    But wait. If she was pretending not to have realized so well that I didn't know she knew, then she must realize that I'm trying to present as a woman and is accommodating that. Does it really matter, then, whether she's guessed my assigned gender or not, so long as she treats me as a woman? OF COURSE IT DOES! Because she must be secretly disgusted with me.

    Oh no! That means everyone I've ever met is doing exactly the same thing: treating me as a woman while secretly knowing the truth! Ahhh!

    No, no, calm down. Remember, not everyone is that nice. OK, so it's possible that some people have clocked you and are being nice, but Occam's razor would have it that they just think you're a woman.

    Phew, glad that's sorted. WAIT! I need to reply. I've just been staring into space like a lunatic. Say something! No, wait, that was a compliment, wasn't it? Smile first. Okay, ready? Face muscles engaged... not too much... look at her eyes...

    "Uh, thanks."

    You ruined it! Nice job, asshole.

  • I was adorable at my show tonight and I wanted to share!

    Jump

  • That is a happy smile 😊

  • Bottom dysphoria changing after HRT - why?

    Jump

  • To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't worry about it. Just go with how you feel at the moment.

    Before I started HRT, I was on the fence about SRS: I figured I might want it one day, but I was cool as-is. A couple of months in, that all changed and I was pretty sure I wanted it. Now I'm booked for the op later this year!

    Why did my feelings change? I have no idea. But my guess is that I was more bothered by my overall appearance and ongoing masculinization that bottom dysphoria didn't really register. Once I'd got that out of the way, the next biggest worry made itself known. So it could just be a result of shifting perspective / priorities.

  • [Transfem] In a parallel universe

    Jump

  • I saw a similar comment elsewhere, and I (mostly) agree. It just... wouldn't be me. And I'm pretty sure I'm a better person than my hypothetical cis self, just from the added perspective, if nothing else.

    But still... if only...

    (At least this version of me did move to Japan :3 )
