Yay, thank you! ❤️ I have a severe lack of cute dresses in my life ☺️

Well, you look fantastic. Can I ask where the dress is from?

Oh my gosh, sooo cute!! :3

I love your poetry so much ❤️ Sending you teary-eyed hugs 🤗

Haha, not sure if it's possible to definitively anything that can't be measured empirically. Glad you're in a safe place ☺️

Yeah, I don't have the best answers. What do you feel like your living as your true self is missing? Do you feel yourself making progress to that vision? What's missing?

That makes sense! I definitely share in your experience of anxiety that comes out of wanting to be open and expressive but also protect yourself. I'm navigating something similar and, well, I don't have a good answer right now about what to do.

Generally, for people I know, I've found that I'm a very good judge of whether or not they will accept/embrace/vibe with my gender expression or be off-put by it and I know that influences the degree to which I mask (which I'm unhappy with, but working on). For people I don't know—generally they don't care as they have their own problems to work through, but I live in a socially liberal city so there's that 😅

Nonbinary transfemme—using precise terminology for something I consider quite vague. I have a hard time calling myself a woman, but that's essentially where I'm headed. Maybe demigirl.

It's okay and normal to not be 100% sure and to even change your mind entirely later. The important thing is you feel you have the agency to be whatever version of yourself feels right in the moment 💕

I think bumblebee has a "find a friend" app to make those platonic connections.

Oh no

including a new feature called Vault for engineering teams to store and share authentication "secrets" securely

oh my god

Yeah, I got around to watching this finally. OOF. No thank you ✋
