  • It definitely morphs and changes over time.

    I used to never have any dysphoria from having a beard.

    Later, the slight hair growth I got in between laser sessions made me feel hopeless.

    Now, I don’t love my facial hair but also feel sort of good at being more visibly trans when my facial hair is having its bad/intense days.


    It’s also common for folks to not have genital dysphoria for a long time, only developing it years into transition when everything else is dealt with.

    I wonder if your brain is finally accepting that things will change and the impatience is manifesting as dysphoria.

    I hope it gets better soon!


    • Being vulnerable, but not oversharing / overbearing, will actually provide an opportunity to deepen your friendships. They will appreciate knowing what you’re feeling and folks respond better to vulnerability than you expect.
    • The right time to reconnect with an ex is when you are better and over them. If you still feel incomplete without her, then it’s the wrong time. Cliché but true: you must love yourself before you can be loved.
    • Therapy could really help you work through these feelings. If you cannot afford therapy, look for support groups in your area. Just hearing other people going through similar situations can help.
    • Build up non-romantic relationships while you are still so raw. A.k.a. hang out with your friends, open up and ask for their support, and be there for them. If you try to find romance while you’re not over your ex, you’ll make mistakes and maybe open old wounds, compare your new partners in unfair ways to your old ones, and just generally have a bad time.

    I wish you luck. A breakup is never easy and it sounds like she means the world to you. It’ll never be right, but it will be okay.




  • The law change will introduce a minimum age limit for using the devices at 15 years old, as well as placing a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) limit of 0.5 g/l on scooter drivers.

    They also pointed out that other countries in Europe set the age between 12 and 16.

    I have mixed feelings about this. When I was that age, I had a bike and used it as my main mode of transportation. Is a scooter significantly more dangerous? I suppose it must be, if kids are getting injured at the rates they are.

    And kids can still operate non-motorized bikes, scooters, etc.
