HRT/Gender Affirming consult is in august. Am nervous yet excited. Wish me luck. Im 23yo and 260lbs. And i wasted my 20s and pretty much all of my youthful arc as a boring ass man. Will never get that back. But i have an appointment soon.

Not the same to have to limit urself to other spaces. Also the idea being like 30 at a party makes me feel like a creep

if u had to pretend to be a man it clearly wasn't the best part of it. ur comparing ur life to a life u created but it doesn't exist and the story ur telling urself isn't true. ur ability to party doesnt end at 22, & it certainly doesnt end when u graduate college. im not tryna be harsh or invalidate ur experience but the idea that 18-22 is the peak of young adulthood is a teenage misconception & you need to get over it before u can move forward & take what u do have

There’s plenty of party spaces for adults (queer night clubs) or even cute pride events and arts and crafts stuff. It may not be a hardcore party but it is just a suggestion on how to feel better if you wanna get outdoors and have some kind of fun :)
