stormdogAlso, I created this meme about my HRT experience for a transfem shitposting group. It got over 60 reacts, so I guess it was good!
Lots of girls who thought they were only attracted to women start HRT and find that they're interested in men. I always thought I was basically 50/50 bi/pan. Now, though, I'm leaning more like 70-80 percent toward women. I've realized that one reason I've always liked yuri media so much is that, without really acknowledging it, I was envious of the experiences of the women in that anime and manga.
A friend commented that he's heard the same thing (about being envious of the experiences of women in such media) from two other women who've transitioned and it's definitely a thing! I said:
It's not yuri, but my favorite manga is probably Azumanga Daioh, which is just a slice of life comic about a group of high school girls who are friends and their daily lives. I love it so much that I've never read the last few pages because I kind of don't want it to end, you know? I wish I could have had a high school experience like that.
