I am so fucking afraid of being trans. I realized that I was trans 8 months ago and since then everything in the U.S. has just gotten worse and worse. I haven’t begun my transition or living any differently than I did before because fear has me locked in a cage and I can’t find the key. Worse still my brain has started questioning if transitioning is even worth it questions like, “why bother?” and “you’re starting too late” have begun plaguing my mind. Worse yet in the middle of my summer break from university I was outed to my entire college via a school newsletter and I’m afraid of being the only openly trans student there (I go to a small sports and business school). What in the 9 hells a

I’m making this post seeking advice and also to figure out if anyone else has gone through a similar thing. I’m fairly early on in accepting that I’m trans and deprogramming all the cis guy behavior, part of that is learning not to ogle women. Besides it being extremely problematic (something I didn’t really realize before) it also gives me severe gender dysphoria every time I do it. I was wondering if anyone has any advice or suggestions on this topic or if anyone has gone through anything similar and how they’ve overcome it.

I was watching a video about Chaozhou style Gongfu Tea and they used a couple of sayings “Lord Guan patrols the city wall” and “Hanxin musters the troops” so I tried finding a list of them and translating them, let me know what you think.

  2. Pouring Tea(落茶) - Guanyin (Iron Goddess) has entered the palace (觀音入宮)

  3. Pouring Water (沖茶) - Raise the kettle and pour from high (懸壺高沖)

  4. Shaving Foam (刮泡沫) - Spring breeze stroking the face (春風拂面)

  5. Pouring Tea (倒茶) - Lord Guan patrols the city wall (關公巡城)

  6. Last Drops of Tea (點茶) - Hanxin musters the troops (韓信點兵)

  7. Look at the Tea (看茶) - Appreciate the color of the Tea (鑒賞湯色)

Beginner Questions

Question/Help

So I’m relatively new to Gong Fu Cha and had a few questions. For reference, I’m currently starting out brewing mainly oolong and green teas as well as black tea and I also got a Pu’Er Tea Cake which I occasionally brew however as my guests don’t like the strong flavors within Pu’Er I tend to avoid using it as much. My questions are 3 fold, 1) How do you determine how long to brew your tea for. For reference I usually start my first rinse at around 212 degrees F (100 degrees C) and continue from there. I know that since there are a lot of other variables involved within the brewing of Gong Fu style tea you won’t be able to give an exact answer so what ballpark should I be aiming for? 2) Does

So a little backstory, I’m super new to dota however I do have experience playing LoL and one thing that I found super interesting about dota is the micro play aspect with heroes like Naga Siren, here’s the thing I want to play support and have realized that Naga doesn’t work well as a support, who would you pick instead that is as similar to Naga without being Naga? Thanks a lot!
