Yes! I hate that the world that we live in makes it so fucking unbearable but I do want to be trans. Being trans is good actually. I fucking love trans people and I would never want to live in a world without us.
Yeah you got it. Apparently her character was originally written as a transphobic bit (haha wouldn't it be funny if the socially awkward guy went on a date and it turned out the date was trans), but I think the actor really took it seriously and the writers consulted with trans advocacy groups and they brought on a trans woman to consult formally and make sure Hayley wasnt just a characature. It wasn't perfect by any means but it was really interesting to compare with now where a trans person's inclusion would be considered a pure political statement and the hate machine would immediately spin into overdrive.
That's what I want! I think i found a place near me, and I saw a Google review from a trans woman who said they were kind and affirmative. I'm still working up the courage.
When you bought your nice wig did you spend time getting it fitted? Was there a fitting room and someone to help you pick one out? I feel like having a more personal touch here like you get at high end clothes shops might be useful for me.
I've not yet, i might try though now you've said it! I wear various cute hats and I guess I have a sortof alt / punk vibe anyway so very short hair can sortof fit.
I really feel you though sister. Male pattern baldness is really brutal for us. It was actually a big part of how I realised I was trans because the dysphoria became unbearable as it started to happen. I appreciate you bringing this question up.
I'm still in the cheap wig stage and still very early in transition. I assume I will get more and more frustrated with the quality (right now still just happy to have hair, oh to have been on E 10 years ago). I'm also interested in what the pricey ones might be like.
Thanks for the advice! I'm a bit freaked out about the injections tbh, but I'm sure I can get over it.
