[Update] Are any of you Eagle Scouts?

Over a year ago, I wrote a post here asking for some help deciding whether I should work towards my Eagle rank. I honestly didn't want to get it at that point. But those that commented on it helped me realize that even if the badge or the recognition of it don't come in handy in my life at all, the lessons that I learned through scouting will carry on in everything I do.

Thank you to all of those who have helped me. I earned the Eagle rank last night, and I only could have done it with help from everyone else who convinced me. I didn't think I'd come this far, but I did, and I'm relieved.

I have E now!!

I've been on a low-dose HRT regimen for almost a month now, and I'm feeling happier than ever. It's so wonderful this is happening, as just a couple years ago I wouldn't think I'd make it this far in transition.

And last night I passed my board of review and became an Eagle Scout. It's weird knowing I got here despite bouts of extreme gender dysphoria over the past few years. I honestly don't know how it'll come of use later in my life, but yeah, it's a thing.

I just got prescribed Spiro today and I can't even grasp that things are actually happening :D

I've been wanting to transition since I came to terms with myself Spring of 2013. Even so, nothing in terms of transition between then and now had happened yet, and I was getting more and more dysphoria built up and couldn't take it. I'm so glad I bit the bullet and decided to see an endocrinologist. Right now I'm started on 50mg/day, and in a month or two I can get on Estradiol if I so choose.

So yeah, just wanted to share how awesome is been going for me lately. I wish you all the best of luck <3

I'm having the most intense feeling of girl in a while and it makes me so happy

Usually I call this feeling dysphoria, but today has been incredibly euphoric because of it. Nothing particularly interesting happened, so I'm not quite sure why I'm feeling this way. Probably because I started watching Sense8 on Netflix, which has a powerful trans woman as one of the main characters. It gives me so much hope and inspiration :D

Anyways, sorry for the long ramble, I just wanted to get this feeling out there!

I think my mom is sabotaging my friendships...

I (not so) recently came out to my mom as transgender. She did not take it well, as I had expected, but I persisted in taking measures to be myself and be open about it to my peers. Before I told any one of my friends, she's been telling me how terrible my life at school is going to be if anyone find out, and that everyone would think I'm gross. I still wore girly stuff to school anyway.

Fast forward to not long ago, she told me she saw some of my friends at school had "turned away and whispered" when they saw her walk by. She asked me if it was because of "the transgender thing", as if they didn't like me because of it. And I almost believed her...

Yeah no. I've been distancing myself fro

CMV: I believe suicide is ok as long as you're not taking anyone out with you

[View Changed]

I have a friend who is telling me she wants to kill herself and I don't know how to help.

I don't think that we should be preventing people from committing suicide if that's really what they want for themselves.

I don't believe the religious argument that "suicide is a quick way to get to heaven which is sinful, therefore futile". That is not at all what most people do that for. My friend, for instance, is living a really hard life with abusive parents and just wants it to be over with.

If someone is going to take their own life, it's helping our overpopulation issue.

Despite my beliefs I really care about my friend and want to help her. It's hard to help if what I'm doing isn't even wit
