being bad with titles rule

Caption: Throwback to when I was still an egg, bought my first women's clothes and got greeted by this card.

Below is a card saying "Congrats on becoming a (brandname) girl! Let the adventure begin..."

Good job not giving any power to a brand. Companies are not people, and should not be treated as such.

Well, it's in the rules, isn't it? I certainly enjoy Lemmy without ads.

Also, I'm going to steal that picture, should come in handy.

If I weren't so euphoric right now due to being referred to as a girl for the first time, I'd be slightly annoyed :3

How did you buy women's clothes as an egg? I would've thought you've known at that point

Lots of folks cross-dress and are neither trans nor non-binary. It took me a few years to realize that I'm not one of them.

But I guess you could say it was one of the earlier cracks in the shell.

The egg phase is really, really weird and you can do a lot of stupid stuff during that time

lol this is so true.

For years, on birthdays blowing out candles, and when I saw a shooting star, what do you suppose I wished for?

If you guessed to be a girl, you nailed it. Still cis though! Like, girl, how?

Smdh. Ah well, we still made it. Sometimes your just need told to wrap your heas around it or something. I try to be kind to myself for missing all those years, while acknowledging that it would be really really nice to get those years back.

Its ridiculous at how good even the slightest bit of affirmation feels in these early stages. I downloaded Vinted to buy girl stuff and used my chosen name and I guess that was the first time I had done that and I got an automatic email that was like "hi Domi" and I melted. I look forward to being self assured enough to go back to being immune to shitty corpo marketing but today is not that day.

Domi! It's you again! Saw you over at c/transfem, saying hello, and regret that I didn't use your name and just went with "Hey there!" :3. Sorry sis!

I should get used to using names more, irl I'm pretty much only using a person's name to get their attention. Probably because I lowkey hated being referred to by my own (nick-)names, huh. God, why does everything make so much sense now.

Gender Euphoria seems to be one hell of a drug. Is that how cis-folks feel through all of their lives, they just got so used to it that it's not as intense?

Hey no apology necessary! I'm guessing we might be at a similar stage of things because I keep reading stuff, thinking "hey that's exactly what I'm going through" then looking at the name at seeing you. So hey girl! DM me if you ever want to chat <3.
