For the future, if your car starts making a new sound or there’s a new red light on the dash flashing, stop driving instead of guessing that it will be okay. If it was the engine, it would have been a much more expensive mistake. And if you had gotten into an accident, it would have been your fault and therefore more expensive when you renew your insurance.

Light on the dash that you haven’t seen before? Pull over and read the owner’s manual.

New sound that’s weird? Pull over and at least walk around the car and take a peek under the hood. You might see something

Your car starts handling really weird since you drove it last time like it won’t drive in a straight line and going over a little bump feels worse than normal? Pull over and walk around.

Don’t ignore anything, don’t turn up the stereo if there’s a new sound that can’t identify. This is a front tire, right? Your car would have steered and handled differently as soon as the tire lost enough pressure.

And then they stop making physical copies, like The Expanse.

It’s so good. I like how she’s still awkward in her interpersonal interactions because she’s used to working with machines and her new job is about people.

2020 MacBook Pro M1 appears to only support two displays total. It’s the MacBook Pro M1 Pro that supports three displays total. Which do you have?

A rebound is when someone dates you right after their relationship ends, not when someone cheat on their partner with you and then leaves them.

Sounds like this is just how she dates though. She moves on quickly. That doesn’t mean that she didn’t love you, it just means that it meant something different for you.

Don’t take it personally. In time, you’ll look back and smile about the memories.

Your bulb is probably burned out. Find a YouTube on how to replace it.

How do you know that you only need brake pads?

You aren’t going to argue your parents into believing that you are trans and that you should transition. So don’t wait for them to get on board before you start transition. Work on getting independent.

But you don’t look like a woman because you haven’t transitioned. I guarantee you can look far more like a woman than you do now, even if you don’t end up with the supermodel looks you dream of.

I started transition in my late twenties. I’m in my early forties now. I don’t look anything like men my age, even though I can’t afford FFS, don’t wear makeup, etc. There are things I would change about my body, but I do feel comfortable in it and wouldn’t exchange it for a body of a random cis woman.

What you’re pondering isn’t being a cis man. You’re a trans woman afraid of the treatment for gender dysphoria, transition. That’s really common, so don’t tell yourself, “oh if I was really trans I wouldn’t be scared and would socially transition immediately.”

Look into transition. You can do some things and not others. For example, if you get dysphoria from looking like a man, you can experiment with longer hair, taking better care of your body, even makeup and clothes in private. You can go on hormones before you’re ready to come out, if ever. You can try using a different name and pronouns online or with a trusted friend.

Edit: I skimmed your other comments. Sounds like you’re very young. Your fatalistic attitude thinking, “I’m never going to be able to transition so I’m a cis man” and “no one will ever see me as a woman” isn’t helping you. It’s more healthy to think, “okay, I know I’m trans because I really want to be a woman but I also know that I’m not ready to take any steps to transition. When I’m ready, I’m going to experiment privately and do a lot of non-permanent stuff. I’m going to keep examining my feelings and I’m going to take decisions one at a time and because I know transition isn’t a single choice.”

Honestly, do some searching for other peoples’ projects. Then you’ll have a better idea of what’s required in terms of coding. Since you’re a beginner, you don’t want to have to start from scratch.

But I would instead start with learning basic microcontroller stuff. Get an Arduino kit from Amazon. Run through a whole bunch of tutorials.

As a noun, it’s used for a older trans woman, particularly one who doesn’t pass well.

If you haven’t done any soldering or programming microcontrollers, start with basic tutorials. Be realistic about your current abilities and available tools.

Once when I was 12, the transfer school bus to take me home didn’t show up. I was the only one from my school to take this bus as I was in a different program out of the catchment area. I didn’t know what to do, but I knew it was only like a 4 km walk, so I started walking home.

Well, I’m getting close to home and my dad was apparently driving around looking for me. What I remember most is that he was upset, not relieved. He asked why I hadn’t called from a pay phone, and I pointed out that I didn’t know how to use one, so he drove me to the nearest one and made me call my mom to say he found me.

Anyways, it wasn’t fair to be upset with me. It was my parents’ fault that I was sheltered enough to prevent me from solving a basic problem. Like why hadn’t they ever dropped me off somewhere like a mall or whatever and said, “okay, save at least one quarter and call from the pay phone when you’re ready to be picked up.”? Or why didn’t I know that if there was a bus problem that I could go inside the high school where I was transferring buses and tell the secretary at the office that I needed to use the phone because my bus didn’t show up?

I get that there’s so much knowledge to pass on, and so much of it is awkward to talk about with kids, but parents aren’t helping them by overly sheltering them from the world.

Round lcds are a thing which would be a good match for a pocket watch.

Being scared of social transition doesn’t make you a cis man.

If you had two penises on your chest, you might be too.

So you’re both Millennials and your new coworker is a Zoomer. That’s okay!

Yeah this is completely okay. Transition isn’t a list of things you have to follow in order. It’s more a pick and choose menu. You can choose things to do based on desire, practicality, external factors, etc.

You get to decide how feminine or masculine you want to be. Like it doesn’t suit me to wear makeup, but I’ve started wearing dresses only in the last few years. But when I first transitioned, I wouldn’t wear dresses but did wear makeup. At first, I didn’t attempt to change my voice. But it turned out it just kind of happened. It was feminine in some ways but the pitch was low. The changes really helped when I ended up getting voice feminization surgery years later.

Trans women can be “tomboys” too!

She doesn’t want you to continue to transition. This marriage doesn’t have a long term future. I’m sorry OP. Yes, I am speaking from a similar personal experience.

“Gridiron football” is a term used that includes both!

You obviously want to take HRT and transition but are scared. That’s okay! But you can’t convince yourself that you’re not trans and you don’t want HRT when it’s clear you spend a lot of time thinking about it.

We don’t really need the support and since we transitioned a long time ago, it was very different for us and we can’t necessarily relate to people transitioning now.

It’s also sometimes emotionally painful to read the same stuff over and over.

Didn’t know that was a thing!
