Fully 87.5% of all Venusaur are male, while only 12.5% are female. I am a rare bird all right!

Depends on what kind of vampire and what kind of werewolf, really. Each has quite a few different potential rule sets.

My parents took it fantastically. Thankfully, I already had a non-binary person in my friend group, so they had already been exposed, so it wasn't so hard to explain. Really, I must say, my experience in coming out has been overwhelmingly positive. Unfortunately, most trans people aren't even half as fortunate.

Yeah, there's a lot that sucks about being trans. Finding a dermatologist who accepts Medicaid AND does electrolysis, for instance estheticians more frequently do stuff like that, but they don't take health insurance and electrolysis on masculine facial hair especially is expensive.

But those difficulties are without, not within.

I've read quite a few, actually. The Disordered Cosmos: On Spacetime, Dark Matter, and Dreams Deferred, The Seven Necessary Sins for Women and Girls (first thing I read after coming out), Norwegian Wood, and Babylon: Mesopotamia and the Birth of Civilization. All great. In fact, I was up past 3 AM last night pondering the parallels between the past-obsessed Assyrians and Neo-Babylonians who seemed to lose faith in the future and our own society, with its increasing unwillingness to grapple with current and future challenges.

Also, here's something I've been working on, or, rather, what I've been working on with.

We both know this is fake news. I thought you were better than this.

Well, first you've gotta be trans. Unfortunately, that means being horribly miserable. Then you have to admit you're trans, then you have to go see a therapist about it who doesn't suck, go see a doctor about it who doesn't suck for hormones, and find people who don't suck to support you in the process of completely overhauling your identity. Once you're on the hormones, you'll start feeling better and your body will improve. It will improve quickly in some ways, slowly in others, and in ways you didn't anticipate. No two transitions are alike, everyone has their own unique story.
My story includes a ton of super supportive people, especially women.

Hey, there are lots of ways to be miserable. We live in a miserable country, even! But having a male level of T was really bad for my brain. That, evidently, was the root of my misery.

Ok, so, a few things:
1) Congrats! It took me almost 33 years to get to that point, and then COVID blew everything up and it took forever to get from "admitting I was trans" to "seeing trans dude therapist". So, uhh, I know that's hard

2) I never even managed to go on a date once: I had zero confidence and deeply suppressed jealousy of women (I realized that that's what it was after I had come out to myself and was watching the last half season of BoJack Horseman with a friend. She runs and likes to wear skirts: her legs are and have always been lovely, and I realized I didn't *just* want to stroke them [I never would, for the record: she was never into me like that and is straight as a board], but to have legs like hers!). Combine that with the usual wooziness of being attracted to a woman, and, well...I'm not surprised it never even started working, LOL.

3) But yeah, wife and kids is a lot to navigate. Unfortunately, it's perfectly plausible your wife will leave you, even if she accepts you. It's also possible she'll still be into you. But as I explained above, I can't give you advice on that. Here are a pair of trans women on Twitter who had wives and/or kids, with stories that went various ways:
https://twitter.com/emmy_zje
https://twitter.com/vyrthandi
Certainly I've found following them both helpful myself.

Does electrolysis only require one treatment for hair removal? It isnt offered in my city, so I was going to proceed with laser hair removal at my tattoo shop, but I would travel if it only takes one go.

I'm working, lol. I was supposed to go to a Courtney Barnett concert Monday, but she got COVID and had to postpone the rest of her US tour.
Though later this week, I'll be going to visit a friend from college (who turned out to be non-binary), as they're playing host to my best friend, who is visiting from Oregon (bestie is also non-binary, LOL). They'll be staying with me next week.
Also I don't think Zheanna is on Spotify, for whatever reason. In fact, I don't think she even has Fashion on her Bandcamp. She's a really busy woman who seems to be scattershot on developing her crazy (and frankly incomprehensible to me, though they sound nice) musical projects, and a fantastic person, aside (her other channel is TransVoiceLessons).
Would marry/10.

About existing. I'm so happy I'm alive and I feel alive and I just get to be me! I was never me before, I was some miserable, depressive shadow of a human being. I identify with Zheanna's song wholly. I'm alive and well, everything's always on the up! I'm glowing, all the way home I swear I'm glowing!
