Hi Everyone! I’m planning on adding stuff here but first enjoy your new weekly mega <3
Join our public Matrix server!

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It’s for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
complaining about people on Twitter
Trans girls will really be like:
“Comparing yourself to pretty people online is so bad for your mental health, sometimes you need to just touch grass and be out in the world 🥰”
And then you go on their profile and they are the pretty people online posting thirst traps giving everyone brainworms and pass enough to go outside.

One of the curses of being a 20s trans girl is being unable to see how pretty you are. It’s a whole thing. 15 years from now, if you keep any pictures of yourself, you’re gonna be asking why you felt you weren’t beautiful. It’s just one of our things, we got nerfed in an earlier patch
I don’t have pictures of myself because I genuinely think I am ugly.
I feel like if you are taking enough sexy pics of yourself to post online and getting a decent amount of attention from it you know you are pretty on some level.
You should probably have a few pictures of yourself, taken by your gf perhaps, where you’re smiling and maybe some candids. You will probably thank yourself for having some later.
Struggles with self image are super common, fair that they’re getting attention but even models get caught up and photoshopped etc. Probably the people seeking external validation could be the ones with the worst gauge of how pretty or not pretty they are (hence why they might be seeking external validation)

Going out in the real world is just as depressing. Online I can write it off as an algorithms selected people, all presenting their absolute best. Irl it’s just… Damn people actually are like that. All these people just look way better then I do. 99% of them… Look like their gender in a way I don’t.
