Trans Megathread for the Week of May 19th, 2025 to May 25th, 2025 - SeaBed (visual novel) + Handsome Girl and Crossdressing Boy (suggestive/R18+?) + BonnieBugsy's "Ranma Lazuli" fanfic series

Made this one somewhat last minute, but here goes- my reccomendations for this week are a yuri "mystery" VN that's near and dear to my heart (that goes into processing grief) though it's been a while since I last played it, and a cute and sloppy (not bad sloppy) manga about crossdressing (and if you ask me is honestly at least kinda genderfuckery).

I figured I'd also add BonnieBugsy's "Ranma Lazuli" fanfic series (available on Ao3) to make it a triple feature because why the hell not. The two fics I can recommend (not having completed the other large fic yet though I'm sure it would deserve equal recommendation) are pretty near and dear to me as well.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

  • Since going back to work I have noticed it, and the prep stuff for it, have eaten up damn near all my spoons. This is such garbage. I have other things I need to do, to take care of, and I've been neglecting it. I'm not even full time. idk how to do this. When will I get like an adult amount of spoons

    Also my two year lucky streak got broken, finally got an actual emergency. A seizure from someone with a seizure disorder, no further complications or anything. Pretty much the easiest thing it could have been. Shook me up at the time but now I'm just so fucking tired.

  • i have entered the point of my transition to where u get misgendered because i'm clockable by shitty transphobes and not because i genuinely don't pass at all. I guess this is progress but woe okay fuck that guy

  • This dude commented finally on my painted nails in class, no judgement from him other than I should probably repaint them soon

    just been so tired these past days that I can't do much. Also pog on no mean comments, think it's just a bit hard being mean to someone face to face. Women usually are nice to me about my presentation so to get encouragement from dudes too feels nice

  • my gender feels a little weird because though I feel like a binary trans woman with no doubt, I still feel like my gender has... idk how else to put it but "taster's notes" of maleness in there somewhere. Like I'm clearly a girl but there's a fairly noticable air of maleness in me like that coffee has taster's notes of raspberry. I joke around saying that I'm actually about 7% male which feel accurate

  • Is it true that you can see colors and stuff in the milky way if you're somewhere without light pollution? That seems so cool, I wish I could do that, but I'm also too cowardly to travel to somewhere completely dark at night.

    • I've never seen colours in the milky way but I did see it splashed across the sky, which was pretty neat! Weird to think that that's all the stars we can see - except Andromeda, which apparently you can see with the naked eye. And I've heard you can see the Magellenic Clouds in the southern hemisphere too

      • I've seen so many people saying similar stuff about seeing the milky way in they sky and I don't understand what it means

        Since we're inside the milky way, isn't that just what we always see when there's stars in the nightsky? I don't get what people refer to when they talk about seeing it.

  • What kinda shit are these clothing companies on? Like the jeans I bought a year ago and need a bigger size in no longer exist, and now I can only buy either the worlds baggiest jeans or the worlds skinniest

  • Trans megas are such a wholesome window into the lives of people who arenā€™t very different from me. Iā€™ve been socially isolated most of my life and have serious issues with not feeling connected to people, so reading updates about peopleā€™s lives like this is very helpful and makes me feel at least a little more connected to others. Just wanted to say thanks for that.

  • Current Rizz levels off the charts so far this week I've changed my underwear daily and showered daily

    , career training told us we should set relationships aside for now as we focus on developing our skills
    guess our biggest challenges come to us when everything seems so easy.

  • been growing out my nails for a little while and took my first shot at shaping them on my own last night and I think it went really well! There's some mild symmetry issues on a couple and one I accidentally ended up filing down a little shorter than the rest, but I don't think anyone other than me would really notice and I think it's really good for my first time ever.

    hoping to have the time / energy over the next couple of days to paint them - it's maybe a little silly but I have a dr's apt this weekend and I kinda wanna have my nails pretty before then

  • Wore big dangling earrings for the first time yesterday and felt very gender

    but also oof, owie my earlobes hurt and my piercings are definitely not healed enough for those yet.

  • My manager does this thing where she just doesn't accept my shift applications if she wants to talk to me about it. Fine, but it'd be nice if you'd just message me about it (or respond to my message). I'd really like to stay late, both the people on that shift don't want to work it, why won't you just give it to me. I guess hopefully she's there in the morning to explain. I'm going to be really pissed if this ends up meaning I can't work those hours.

  • Good news: I'm finally getting the feeling back in the spots that were still numb

    Bad news: One of those spots is in my nose and I'm not really supposed to itch it and I don't want to anyway because I don't want to look like I'm picking my nose

  • Today, I spent extra time getting my hair as nicely as possible, and while holding my hair dryer against my head for 30 minutes was pretty boring, the end result were 100% worth the effort.

    So I needed to go the pharmacy to get my meds, but when I stepped outside I noticed... Itā€™s windy as fuck.

    My cute curls were getting thrashed all around and I thought: "Welp, I guess all that effort was in vain. Going to be another birdā€™s nest day."

    First thing the pharmacist said: "Hi, you have very beautiful hair."

    And she wasnā€™t wrong. While they did get a bit messy, my curls still looked great. So heck, yeah! Gel-pilled girl keeps on winning.

  • Well work was enlightening the other day, I learned everyone, or at least at my workplace, dissociates in/at a/this shitty job, that makes me feel so much better. Also on reflection I realize life has been challenging with so many close calls I'm lucky to even be alive, that also strangely makes me feel better.

  • I wish my existence wasnā€™t seen as an act of aggression against women

    • I know what you mean, especially with the news and shit.

      For what it's worth, hegemonic patriarchy has a very specific view of Femininity. It's very white, it's tied to a specific body type, it's tied to all of our oppression as women. Some women practice lateral violence in the hopes that by fitting in to that system of oppression that they'll have a position of security in that hierarchy. Some just have internalized misogyny, some really are just haters and haven't done any self reflection about "We CaN aLwAyS tElL" also applies to all the ways they fail to achieve hegemonic feminity- which is intentionally (for a vague hand wavey sense of intention lol) impossible to actually achieve

      Some of these women are threatened by lesbians, by tom boys, by butch, by farm girl cis women who don't have time for lipstick or a husband after the last one died, some are threatened by women who either don't have children by choice or can't, etc. The list goes on, uniting all of those people with us in an understanding of inclusive and liberatory feminism threatens systems of control including some women who are at those controls

    • I know :/ I love women...

  • Read 'My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness' and 'My Solo Exchange Diary' and there were so many

    moments. I've had a vastly different life experience from the author and yet everything hits me emotionally so hard.

    Coming to realize other people's struggles has kinda put into perspective that I'm not alone in my struggles of depression, and that even though it'd a long journey toward improvement, it still gets better. Just kinda forcing me to recognize that overcoming the struggles of depression is a long journey of ups and downs, but that in the end the trend line of happiness goes up over time.

    Also forcing me to apply the kindness I do onto other to myself, of seeing myself and my struggles in such a close way to the author and it kinda clicking that I need to apply the kindness I do onto others to myself.

    Like with these books, there were so many times of me recognizing the struggles of the author and seeing her overcome them, even with how cathartic it was, and then realizing how much that struggle to overcome depression and its eventual slow results applies to me too. These books have pushed me to try and be nicer to myself, even though its cathartic. Shit gets better, even though it may not feel like it in the moment.
