  • Vibe code bros aren’t real programmers. They’re business people, not computer people. Even if they have a CS degree, they only got that because they think it’ll get them more money. They lack passion and they don’t care about understanding anything. They probably don’t even care about what they’re generating beyond its potential to be used in a grift.

    I graduated college not that long ago and my CS classes had quite a few former business majors. They switched because they think it’ll be more lucrative for them but since they only care about money they didn’t bother to actually learn the material especially since they could just vibe code through everything.






  • I just had mine removed like 3 months ago. I’ll answer your questions in order.

    I asked my doctor about it and he recommended me some in network surgeons, so finding a place to do it was easy.

    For recovery I remember laying in bed for like 4 days before I got a bit more active. I could manage pain just fine with otc meds. A lot of my pain I think was nerve pain, which I felt moreso in my inner upper thighs rather than my groin and I found that using an ice pack helped a lot. I felt a lot better after just one week, but I did still have to take it easy with activity for about 6 to 8 weeks.

    I do have extra skin. If you want to get a vaginoplasty in the future, you should leave it since they will use that skin. I imagine that you could get it removed if you want though.

    Mine was around $24,000 without insurance. I’m on my parents insurance still, and my Mom had a surgery that maxed it out, so I was very fortunately fully covered and paid nothing. The surgery itself was $20,000 but then you have things like anesthesia, getting the letters, the consult, and pre and post op appointments.

    After the procedure they gave me pain meds and a laxative. Didn’t really need the pain meds and I used the laxative for like a week. I also have stopped my T blocker since, which is nice.







  • That reminds me of when I was graduating college a few months ago and it was my first time on campus since I did all my classes online. We had a rehearsal in this theater building and I didn’t know where to go so I followed this group of women I saw. Turned out they were just heading for the restroom but one of them held the door open for me and internally I was like “eeeeeee yay! They see me as a woman!” Didn’t have to go to the bathroom though so I kinda just walked in and then walked right out lol.








  • I remember your voice from last time and you definitely sound more feminine! Although I still hear a bit of dopeyness. Your voice is like a feminine Winnie the Pooh. (Actually, I think I might have said that last time, but you do sound notably more feminine this time!)

    Feel free to roast my voice if you’d like: https://youtu.be/p2hA1QkZRJM

    Also, make sure you keep practicing. I stopped because I’m pretty much happy with my voice but I slowly slipped part way back to my old voice. Once I realized that, it was pretty easy to get back where I was fortunately.



  • I could write a lot about this but I’m going to keep it on the short side.

    When my dysphoria was at the worst every day felt more and more hopeless. I woke up wishing I could go back to sleep which was the only time I had some happiness. Living felt like trudging through thick disgusting sludge and as time went on the sludge got thicker. I think I would have succumbed to it if I didn’t get HRT when I did.

    I also sometimes also have this vision where my deadname has wings and a horde of them is swarming me like ravenous monstrous bats while I’m standing there trying to shield myself and swat them away. Often times when I think of dysphoria, that and the sludge is what comes to mind.
