Hi, I'm Kathy! My friend posted about this place on another site and I had to check it out

 

[Crystal]

Kat!! So great to see you here

Welcome to the fun zone, or something.

 

[Aerodynamic]

Hiya Kat! Fancy seeing you here.

Welcome to the forums, Kathy. Hopefully you find something here that catches your interest so you didn’t spend that time registering for nothing.

Good thing we dont have a referral system here since otherwise Crystal would be hoarding all the goodies.

Welcome regardless! Hope you enjoy the weird group of people otherwise stuck around this place.

If I learned one thing from transitioning it's how gossip. I used to keep it all in, now thanks to the gal pills it all just falls right out of the mouth. People KNOW about GWF in my circles

A weird benefit of it lol. But I guess the rest of us have less to shock the newbies from your circle with.

Agreed. You expect the usual stuff, but those damn things opened me up to emotions, chatting, fucking crying at nothing...ugh.

@Crystal make a badge for getting a successful referral here (who wasn't originally on GW).

That might be a little trickier, I don’t see any way that would work without modifying the badge system further since there are no referral-based options.

Someone invite Al

He’ll join in 2026.

Manual effort. Promote someone who is in charge of badges and nothing else. Call them your Badge Bitch.

That’s definitely doable.

Badges seem an awful lot like little signs for your profile, so @The Eye in the Sky! sounds perfect for that role

Tom just handing out badges has a very retired suburban dad feel to it… like a Walmart greeter.

I'll rotate him shortly. Thanks!

Welcome! Do you prefer Kathy or Kat?

Agreed. You expect the usual stuff, but those damn things opened me up to emotions, chatting, fucking crying at nothing...ugh.

I've heard that! It's wild what hormones affect, eh? Society gets blamed a lot for men being generally poorer at expressing emotions, but it turns out biology isn't helping any either. Go figure.

Oh it's absolutely true! Once they took hold I was all over the place, I still don't have everything under control in that regard, not sure I ever will, lol. Wouldn't change it for the world, though, because at last I feel just a little more at ease with myself. It'll never feel normal, right, but at least I can get just a little closer to feeling comfortable in my own skin.

I totally get it. Crying over a dropped spoon then crying more over crying over something that dumb will always feel insane to me, but I'd never want my hormones adjusted to change it either. Besides, it's not all bad, it's just part of the trade-off of being more connected with your emotions. It does kind of annoy me that there's a valid basis to the whole "women are more prone to hysteria" stereotype though.

Oh absolutley!! I think it's healthier overall to get it out rather than keep it in. Even though I still have issues with depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, etc, the ability to emote more actually makes me feel more balanced, more...normal? I don't know if that's just a part of being trans and finally having access to something long denied to me, or if that's truly a result of estrogen on the mind, either way it's really nice to be able to FEEL anything. Truly. The stereotypes will always exist because men will never understand what it is to emote properly, sadly.
