I might finally do a Personal Statement today so that I have an application ready in case I do go down the Uni route. At least that way it's done whilst I have more time to do it lol, before I go back to work (I still have the rest of the week).

I want to move out of my parents to the city and come out. Debating staying at work or going to Uni for a degree and hopefully making friends as myself.
Hoping I get better at voice training and progress with laser (seeing a second clinic for advice on bad results).
We'll see what lies ahead! 3/3

Lots of really great things happened in 2024 as well though! I started HRT, voice training, am finally beginning to feel happier with my appearance (I took 42 selfies this year vs 0 every year prior), barely passed an advanced cert at work.
And I have lots of ambitions for the new year as well! 2/3

Thank you Pie!! I'm glad you've enjoyed speaking to me again, I have as well and that's definitely another good thing to come out of 2024. I hope we can continue to use this platform going into 2025.
And I hope your 2025 is wonderful as well, and you can achieve your goals also!

Last I checked, yes. My understanding (what I've heard from others) is that he's (probably?) on here as well, anonymously. If I understand correctly, he cycles through alt accounts regularly.

Oh God, it took me a while to realise it was him.
Does he not realise that being really immature/unfunny, laughing about how funny he is as Adrian, and using the same 🤣🤣 emojis as both makes it *really* obvious? I'm beginning to think he's doing this on purpose...

I don't think I have much to say but Happy New Year! Hope 2025 is a good year for you!

Why would we financially support our own oppression? They really are delusional.

Unlike Skinner, Count Bleck's directions are actually pretty good. But Chalmers struggles to follow them, because they are interdimensional, and every sentence has "said Count Bleck" appended to the end of it.

"Good lord, what is happening?!"
"This is Upstate New York, assures Count Bleck"
"Really? I'm from Utica, and I don't remember it being an empty, lifeless void"
"Oh, not Utica, no. This is Albany, explained Count Bleck."
"Ah, I see. You know, this piece of stone looks quite similar to hamburgers..."

Next she'll be saying trans adults don't exist either, if she hasn't already

I live near Brighton and I feel like I'm only able to use my mobile data 50% of the time here. When I'm in Brighton it doesn't seem any better.
Glad to know there are countries where it actually works 😅

I will say I think Pikmin is the one I've enjoyed least so far, it's less confusing than I thought it would be but I still kinda don't know what I'm doing lol. I'm inconclusive atm though!
Kinda interesting how the Wii version has Wii buttons with GameCube button colouring in its UI.

I haven't played Pikmin yet, but 3D Land has been good also, it feels more unique to 3D World than I expected. Even noticed some reused Mario Galaxy music 👀 (at least I think it was, I may be misremembering ðŸ˜)

The first conversation after reconnecting felt really good, though! We're still Discord friends so I like to imagine at some point we'll speak again one way or another lol, I do hope you're able to keep in touch with your friend as well!

I'm glad you were able to reunite with your childhood best friend! I was with mine as well (2 years ago on Discord), it had also been 4 years for me at the time.
I relate to your struggles, I haven't spoken to my friend in those 2 years since bc I feel like I haven't had a good reason to DM him ðŸ˜

Someone once told me that every year of your life feels faster than the last because the longer you have been alive, the smaller a fraction of your life one year is, and I think that makes a lot of sense actually
comment in response to

I feel that, I think this year is feeling like the least Christmassy Christmas I have ever experienced ðŸ˜
It's going to be Christmas Eve in 21 minutes in my timezone and I'm still not sure why it's Christmas Eve already? Been a hectic year for me but it had no right to come around so quickly lol /lh

I have a feeling we might see its colour on the map change from green to yellow given its current score is already bordering on that. Which would leave it the odd one out with the rest of Western Europe. The Government should be ashamed of themselves.

A degree also gives me more flexibility to move to other IT fields if I want.
I'm leaning towards doing it, but I don't have much time and I need a reference from my manager which will kinda signal me leaving.
I just don't want to make a mistake or dislike studying/part time work alongside it lol.

My job is client-facing as well, so while I can transition at work, some clients may be less receptive. If I'm at Uni I can show up (non-passing) as my preferred name from the start, and by the end of it I should definitely be in a good position transition-wise.
comment in response to

I'm also hoping it could help with finding more friends/more irl social support, atm I barely know anyone irl and all the trans groups are in the city during the working week. If I'm at Uni I might have more social flexibility, and one of the Unis in the city has a social network for trans students.

Supposedly this project will "wind down soon" and I'll get more WFH time next year, but I just don't see it happening atm, and if I want to move to the city I'll probably be dealing with frequent (unwanted) commutes to my hometown.
Vs Uni which will guarantee staying in the city for my studies.

It's so expensive, I'll need roommates either way. I've spent most of the year on the same project at work, which requires me to constantly commute to the office (whilst my colleagues are WFH), and I'm also finding this project really unfulfilling due to client incompetence and how repetitive it is.

Interesting what you say about kicking your life into gear, because I feel like I need that atm. I feel like I've just been living with my parents doing the same thing for the last 3-4 years, and I need independence, a change of scenery etc.
The city is a great place and I want to live there.

(Sorry it took so long to reply, I was asleep, then I slept in, then I wanted to be able to type on my PC haha)
I completely agree that it could be a great opportunity, and hopefully the risks can be subdued by the savings from my current job (which is still great experience for my CV).

I've come back to these thoughts a few times the last couple of years which means I probably do regret not doing Uni but at the same time it is hard not knowing what it is right for me.
I at least know that next year I want to finally move to the city and start fully socially transitioning.

Also feel like a Computer Science degree would be more versatile and I could consider expanding my career beyond QA into development.
I'm not sure if I'll like studying, or want to give up my salary/security etc. But I feel like my job is becoming unfulfilling as well.
Why is this so difficult ðŸ˜

I could start a social transition at Uni, deadname unknown, as opposed to socially transitioning at work where I've been established as deadname for 4 years.
There's no reason why I can't socially transition at work (they have trans-affirmative policies) or move to the city.

Thank you, I'll keep that mind if they are. Fingers crossed not though.

Fuck that's alarming, I've only just started HRT through WellBN and I don't know what I'll do if it gets taken away from me

Same here, I'm an atheist and I have always celebrated Christmas in a very non-religious way. It doesn't even have religious connotations to me tbh lol.

I think a few different colours with a few different associations.
Red - Logo
Green - Link
Yellow/Gold - Triforce
^ are probably the three biggest ones
