@NinaKittyrina like. I'm flattered girl, but I *really* don't want to use diff voices like a party trick or something when I just wanna hang out and be myself you know? I want people to treat me like a woman, not some kind of freak
@NinaKittyrina I've been helping a friend with voice training, so ofc I try to demonstrate/model stuff for her to try one on one
but idk how to tell her she's too... enthusiastic whenever we're in a group call and she says stuff like "you gotta show them how you change voices!!!"
"ur east asian it doesn't count" genuinely fuck off I had to fight my blood and soul for this, I would literally be dead if it wasn't for my effort, don't fucking reduce it down to race that's incredibly fucking weird
@Skyemoder if it turns out you're hitting their expected target level already they might not see any need to change your dose at all, even if it's not doing enough for you atm, soooo in that case maybe supllement w/ diy sources?

@AprilsBooks got a bit heated w/ my friends when they were wringing their hands over someone "joining the military to get out of poverty" and it pissed them off when I compared it to joining the polıce/lCE/lDF. like ik finding work is awful rn but girl, you don't have to put on fkn jackboots
(too) judgmental at all. I had no hope she would be so kind and understanding, and yet... I couldn't have asked for anything more. I'm grateful that she's standing behind me in this shithole part of the country, and I don't know what I'd do without her support.
Thanks mom🥹
my mom's never been very tolerant of trans people. she's told me a few times "honey it doesnt matter to me if you like men, or women, or both" but she's complained and ranted abt trans people showing up at work and on tv and stuff for a v long time. I decided to start hrt w/o—
my body, and that I was going to do everything I could to transition and live as a woman.
she hugged me and started crying, and told me that she would always love me, and to do whatever I needed to be happy.
months later and she's helped me with so many things and hasn't been—
