HRT doesn't fix people, they just often have the motivation to work on themselves after being on HRT. Not everyone gets that motivation just from HRT, though. It took realizing who in my life I'd be sending down the same road for me to end up committing myself to an inpatient mental clinic rather than ending my own life. This was also after two years of HRT - it very much did not fix me, but in retrospect it definitely contributed. That being said, it was only one piece of the puzzle. Your betterment may look different, but ultimately it will have to start with how you perceive yourself - not just in terms of how "womanlike" you may be, but also in regards to your own personal narrative, how you appraise your own value as an individual. Best of luck.

YES YES ABSOLUTELY. So much of Disco Elysium is about how your past shapes who you are and Cuno is no exception. Like he's literally still just a kid, and he's in a town undergoing horrible acts of violence and his parents are barely present in his life! I'm nowhere near done with my first playthrough of the game yet (only just got that first bridge situation figured out) but aaaagh. Every time I interact with Cuno I'm desperately trying to be a tiny figure of support in his life :'^(

"kuno don' fuckin care" vibes

mold is a biohazard

i like how it implies that his balls act as a safe container for radioactive materials

I mean, that was what mine cost back in like 2014, and I would've kept it that way for a while if not for my growing interest in VR, which admittedly had me shelling out another $200 for a GPU in around 2016. It trchnically wasn't a gaming PC, sure, but it's kept up pretty well in recent time. I still don't see myself having to replace any parts for a while now - I'm consistently still able to play current games on medium-high settings, occasionally having to turn things down a bit for games like Darktide.

I mean, technically it referred to itself as an office PC and not a gaming PC, but that's just pedantics when it works all the same.

"Nice girl hair!"

Hey, you look great in this photo, but a real quick tip about mirror photos like these - it genuinely helps a lot to look into the camera in the mirror rather than to look at the phone to make sure the picture looks good while taking it, or at least to look elsewhere in the mirror. It gives a much better impression of your typical expression, unless your typical expression is in fact looking down with your eyelids mostly closed - but I say this from the perspective of someone who's eyes are usually drawn forward.

Who argues tha they've changed? The problem is they never change.

While I do believe the other commenter is making a gross simplification of the reasons the average conservative does what they do, there is genuine merit in recognizing the relationship between US Republicans (or conservative movements and groups in general) and facism. The ideological cudgels they use are based in the same foundations, utilize the same rhetoric, and are often intended by their progenators to reach the same end goals. If you are a European, you should have some interest in this - after all, the US of A is not the only country struggling with facist rhetoric being normalized in its culture.

it's wednesday

good thing i'm learning godot instead lmao
