People obviously don't understand the consequences we face and the sacrifices we make when we transition. Being trans isn't easy.

But we do it anyway, because the alternative is to be miserable.

    I moisturize with a homemade lotion. It's really simple to make. Shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil, almond oil. I just do equal parts and put it in a double boiler until it's all liquid.

    I use that everywhere, even in my hair as a deep conditioner. I will never buy store bought again.

    I should definitely be using SPF though 🤔

    JavaScript is slow, we should be avoiding it as much as possible. I prefer Astro and adding Preact only if I need it. Other than that Next is better than React because of server-side rendering.

    However, plenty of companies still use React.

    Being trans isn't a mental illness. We've existed across every culture and century, long before you had an opinion about it. Lack of empathy, however, actually is clinically recognized as a symptom of certain conditions. But hey, no shame, mental illness shouldn't be stigmatized either 🤍🩷🩵

    After 5 months, I guess I've fully cracked. Now I'm wondering about updating my professional website, that cesspool LinkedIn, etc.

    I'm a Dev (yes, I use Arch) and I used to teach. I guess I'm nervous about having to tell my old students and coworkers.

    I’d love to hear strategies, lessons learned, or anything that made the process smoother.
