Today I was talking to a kid and one of my coworkers and somehow surgery was brought up. I mentioned that I was going to have a surgery last summer but it didn’t happen because after the consultation they canceled it because I was too young. My coworker asked me if it was “gestures at chest” and when I said yes she said something along the lines of : oh that’s so, hard a lot of my friends are going through that. And I’ve gotten a lot of validation about my pain and anger from my friends and the trans people around me, but to have a cis person I barely know just get it felt so so good.

Edit: since people keep asking, yes you can use these for scars that aren't top surgery related, an invasive question is an invasive question no matter how you got the scar
I started T I don’t feel like talking about it with the people in my life because I’m scared they’ll think it’s the only thing I can’t talk or care about. I know that won’t happen but I’m cautious anyway. So here internet take my one week on t changes.
I am so tired. I know everyone talks about having more energy but I will sleep for like 10 hours, wake up still tired, and then fall asleep at noon. It’s crazy. I’ve never been a person who naps but now it’s all I want to do. Other than that there hasn’t been much. I’m pretty sure my acne is worse, and I might have a bit more mustache and stomach hair but. That’s it. Not much but still more than I expected to happen in a week. I’m pumped, but also exhausted. I might make this blog into a diary of sfw changes. Idk. I don’t really post anything anyway.

Today I had my first day of work and a kid came up to me with a fortune teller and gave me the fortune “ you will be a boy”. So my transition is backed by middle school fortune tellers.
I'm fine with they/them but not frequently like you can call me they once a month as a treat
For the past few days some of the kids at my work have been telling my coworker (we’ll call him Sam for simplicity’s sake) has Sam disease but will not elaborate on what that means. Today they were at it again and told me that because I was standing next to him I caught it, and that only boys could catch it. My boss shut it down and made the kids apologize, but hearing this one kid validate my gender over and over made me so happy.
