i actually have a story about this. i started my transition at university right before covid but boymoded for the first while naturally, then we had internships so i didn't really see anyone for six months and during this time i changed a lot and went from only occasionally malefailing to getting gendered female basically all the time *until* i opened my mouth. about a month before going back to uni i decided to come out to my classmates and lecturers. bear in mind that the first day back i had to do a presentation in front of everyone where i talked about my internship (in my second language too because i was an international student), so while the other aspects of my appearance were more or less on point i had to voicetrain really fucking fast.

the conclusion was that i did manage to get a passing voice by doing the exercises on trans voice lessons among other things, however i was so nervous during my presentation that it broke a few times and i was pretty distraught over it. honestly nobody really cared though. everyone was either indifferent or was really happy for me, a lot of people came up to me to tell me i looked cute or that they thought it was really brave of me to come out. overall it's a good memory even if things didn't go exactly how i planned them to.

i have the equivalent of like 6000 USD in my local currency but i'm gonna spend most of it getting breast implants this autumn/winter lol then i plan to save up like another 7000 from work but i'm gonna spend that getting some facial surgeries in the new year hopefully... maybe after that i'll finally start actually saving for life shit but i want SRS down the line too sooooo maybe not for a while.
