Always has been

Never forget:

For conservatives every dead (trans-)child is not a tragedy, but a victory and the entire point.

You can be white and Muslim.

Not the typical media portrait, but certainly common in the real world

Religion of Peace strikes again.

With rocks most likely.

If the people wanting to invalidate trans-people cared even remotely about measurable truth, they would never arrived at that position to begin with.

You cant debunk hate and bigotry with logic and reason, because these positions crumble, once you look at the data. Yet they keep going anyway…

Somewhere in an alternative universe, this is real.

I refuse to believe otherwise!

Since therapy has been mentioned a few times already, I would go with something else for a change of pace.

Even the worst behaviour has at least some “positive” or desirable aspects that are important to a person.

So if you find why you tend towards certain behaviour, take some time and effort to isolate these aspects.

More importantly, you then need to find something to replace it with something that contains the aspects you value, but do not have the same harmfull side-effects.

Example: Smoking when you are bored or to keep your moth busy. Instead of “just quitting” (which might be difficult), a switch to chewing gum might be more effective, while stopping the damage smoking causes.

Hope this helps!

I have choosen a name based on what represents a strong aspect of myself.

Since I always love to learn and know more things, my Name is the word for “Knowledge of the World”.

I had the same sensation as you and it was just as intense. That feeling of something “just being right”, even a small thing and so overwhelming? I remember that moment very well and it makes me happy that you got to experience it too!

Also, I would like to share how I approached the whole leg-shaving thing: For a first time shave on the legs I would go with shaving creme, because its just more effective. Especially if you start from “never shaved my legs” and go to “clean shave”, a blade might get dull, the area is to large and some spots are hard to reach on a first try. Also, buy way more cream then you think you need. I had to do that two more times, before I learnes that lessen. Not for the legs, but its a small step from “I like my legs without hair” to " I want it gone from the other places too". (Spoiler: It feelt just as great for me!)

After that is done, try getting some thigh-high socks! They can be worn under regular clothes, are comfy (and girly) as hell and offer a wide array of patterns / colors to chose from. Try getting ones that are really nice to feel on you skin. For that, you really need to try them on. Just touching the material is not enough for measuring if you like them, because the rubbing during walking needs to be felt for good judgement. Something to keep in mind: If you never shaved your legs, some clothes (especially jeans) can start to feel uncomfortable on the skin, another reason why I got the socks.

Last Point: Some lotion! It helps with potential irritations / dryness after a shave. Especially for a first shave, I would advice on that. Hidden Bonus in doing that: You get to touch,caress and really experience your now smooth legs and it is just great!
