Went to a fancy restaurant near campus with pass-moid. It was a nice drive. Him and his boyfriend are very in love, and that’s sweet to see. I brought a gift basket full of gifts. Cultural thing. hand-made treats. Carved jewelry. some flowers. that kind of thing. I meet my date, pass-moid is over the moon to introduce his friend. White trans girl. She’s a bit awkward but super sweet and clearly trying her best. We enjoy the three courses and dessert. she goes to the same uni as me. She really liked the gifts. She’s a bit insecure, but I brighten her up with some genuine compliments. She brightens me up too. I think I’ll take her out on another date. I’m always worried about seeming rape-y or scary because of my height. Oddly enough, it makes me feel like the one scared of everybody. I wasn’t scared to go out today for the first time in a long time. I’m going to draw her and write her some letters. I feel like somebody for the first time in a long time.

    I know I’m sneed and a larping cis moid. I know I’m not going to ever leave my body, and nothing is going to change. But for just a moment today for the first time in my entire life there wasn’t any outside world. No pounding amygdala. No disgust at my form. a pretty girl gave me a buck tooth smile and ate way too much of my crab and I had to wipe her mouth and she giggled and so did I.

        Thank you. A lot of people see this place as an addictive pit of despair, but it’s important to me. You’re all my inspiration to keep going and trying. Thank you.
