highly reccomended if you’re dealing with a fever and sleeping on and off all day
I had a good time doing that with watching someone play Doki Doki Literature Club for the first time.
I try to overcompensate for difficulty reading people to the point that I can end up reading too much into innocuous details of how someone said something or their expressions or phrasing, but sometimes pick up on a detail about someone that a group of NT people all miss
My ability to read people can vary. In terms of directions people are going (whether on foot, bike, or car) is really good imo. When i drive, I subconsciously do a lot of prediction, so even if I'm spacing out, I'll do things like switch lanes to let people over who haven't indicated they're doing it, be confused why I suddenly switched lanes, and then figure out what my subconscious was doing.
With my brother and my cousin, I often can tell what they're going to say before they really said anything or can translate something like a specific laugh at a price into an accurate quantitative guess of what the price was. Idk how well I can reading emotions that well for them though? And for most other people, I don't think I'm good at reading in either context.
I hate when I try to remember my master password without typing it and panic that I've forgotten my password. But when I got to type it, muscle memory is still there so no problem.
At least online, it seems pretty common.
Personally, I'm not a programmer but I have done some minor coding projects for work and I'm effectively the sysadmin/IT person for my workplace (I'm not exactly good at that and have no such training, but its a small business). My primary role for my job is education and I'd say the computer-related stuff is like a tertiary job role (and wasn't part of the job description at all... just something I've taken on over time).
The only other IRL trans person I know has just done basic customer-service-oriented jobs (things like working at a coffee shop), but has considered becoming a teacher (which seems like a bad idea in Texas as a trans person, but I don't think he wants to move out of state either). But idk if the trans <-> programmer meme is just trans fems or trans people in general?
Given that self-identified trans people tend to be more ostracized and are frequently autistic, its not really surprising trans people would typically end up in fields associated with socially-awkward introverts where remote work is more common.
Fair. If nothing else, it makes it convenient for explaining to others and to be taken more seriously. Like part of the reason I haven't come out to my parents is idk what to even say. "Btw, just wanted to let you know I started HRT because it sounded like a good idea and I'd probably regret not at least trying it. I'd prefer if you avoided certain masc terms, but like IDC much about what pronouns you use and at least one specific masc term is fine, but maybe later I'll change my mind and really not want any masc terms and I do generally prefer gender neutral terms currently" just seems ridiculous to me but that is basically the simplified explanation I have. I know I don't owe anyone any explanation or justification, but like I want to be able to talk to them about that.
It would be much easier to talk with others if I could neatly fit into a box they already knew about. And would be easier to understand how I should fit into existing expectations of gendered social dynamics.
Is nonbinary she/her like… A thing? Cause I think that might be me as fuck. Gender is made up anyways. Even if it weren't a thing, no reason it couldn't be.

back then at the end I often felt a sense of shame
Been curious how common this is for trans vs cis people. Like, there's the meme about guys having "post-nut clarity/regret." Wasn't something I really experienced personally though. :::

To not get into too much detail, I am curious if this is a particular experience for the characters/the author, or does this reflect more broadly for trans people? I guess it doesn’t really matter either way, but it’s never something I’ve seen come up before in trans (well, maybe more accurately gender questioning) resources.
As an egg, I masturbated daily due to libido. Almost always thought of it as a chore. I had a hard time finishing though and I think its mostly because I assumed stereotypical male fantasies would help and they had the opposite effect and the times where I actually had a good time, the fantasies were generally from a female perspective.
Frequency/libido didn't really change with egg crack, but it did seem somewhat less of a chore (but still was a chore) due to changes in expectations. HRT reducing my libido has been great.
As for porn genres and mediums, it varied a lot. But I'm ace and one of the main purposes of porn for me is just to keep me from being distracted, so I can finish (although gender transformation/bending was certainly a genre that stood out as a favorite pre-egg-crack). Caption stuff and doujins have certainly been a heavily part of it.
As far as eating habits, I have a bad habit of losing weight and then slowly gaining it back (and often more), but egg cracking gave me motivation to continue losing more weight for a bit. I generally gain weight during the summer due to work schedule though, so I'm at about egg-crack weight again (borderline-obese). :::

I remember this one for books. Idk for other forms of media.
