  • I was Narnia deep in denial, but the signs were there.

    1. I knew I liked guys since I was like five, and even experimented with sex with boys at that age, but it didn’t feel quite right. I do not like gay porn so I can’t be gay, right? Better get a couple kids and a couple wives.
    2. My cousin wanted to put makeup on me and god I wanted that. Didn’t dare to say yes.
    3. Jokes about wanting to wear dresses because they aren’t as restricting as pants and nicer when it’s warm. A lot of similar jokes, you know the ones. “Trying to lose a bit of weight, it’s soon bikini season.”
    4. I think I remember every trans reference I’ve ever heard.
    5. When being depressed I constructed elaborate fantasies about myself as a woman.
    6. Bad mental health
    Tap for spoiler

    I was on suicide watch and during a breakdown blurting out “I’m living a lie” and blam, the mental wall came down. Not an allowed train of thought. Fifteen years later, I finally got it.

    1. Always hating how I looked in the mirror. I recently realized I look kinda hot as a guy. Skinny, androgynous and a nice smile. I’d totally let me do me. Is that weird?
    2. NSFW

    Cutting off the penis of a male doll. My mum did not react well to that incident. Probably thought I had serial murderer tendencies or something.

    There were other signs too of course.






  • I you make your own, there is no risk for blindness. Blindness comes from methanol, not ethanol. If you use a yeast based process to produce the alcohol and then distill it, there is no way to accidentally produce methanol in that process. The cases where people get blind or die from moonshine stems from when the feds replaced moonshine with methanol to be able to make that claim and disrupt the business of organized crime during the prohibition. There are still cases now and then where people try to make drinkable alcohol from some industrial base and don’t know how to.

    TLDR: Don’t buy, make.





  • Yeah. Gets expensive. I’ve been buying a lot of second hand which for base items like tops and tees works pretty well. If it doesn’t fit, I just return it. I buy the very cheapest ones for just wearing around the house or for working in the garden or the car and stuff like that.

    Depending on where you are, online second hand may not be an option, but if it is, it can save you some money.

    I haven’t found my look yet so there is a lot of experimenting and to keep the cost manageable, second hand is a great choice. Although I may love an item I’ve bought, I may never wear it again, because I’m over 50 and not a 16 year old punk girl. I’m still in denial about that.

    I too do the “maybe it’ll work despite being two sizes too small” thing. It never does so back it goes. I’ve learned from my ex wife to ruthlessly send back things that doesn’t fit or doesn’t look good on you when you try them on. She easily sends back 70% of what she orders. As a baby trans, I have no idea what I’m doing so I don’t feel bad about sending a lot of stuff back. That said, I do keep a lot of clothes that I most likely never will wear again.



  • His whole look is very not butch. That beard is very well groomed and his hair is immaculate. His skin also looks very cared for. I do believe his dear papa may have been a lumberjack.

    Nothing wrong with that of course, but I think he would be a lot happier if he just embraced it, poor thing.
