That’s super interesting! Seems like difficulty to juggle all of that tbh, but it makes sense.

I can definitely increase my caloric intake a little bit. To be honest, I usually hit 1700+ since I’m not super strict. But I think I just need to be a lot more focused I suppose. It’s so hard to lose weight at this point.

Yeah I use MyFitnessPal right now to track my calories. I’m aiming for 1600 calories a day which is kinda hard. I skip breakfast and sometimes lunch but I’m vegan so my meals tend to be carb-forward. I try and eat things like just Tofu

<3 Thanks. It’s helping that I can start doing some things to help alleviate the dysphoria :) I have things to look forward to for now.

Same age here and similar timeline. I’m still figuring things out. I’m a remote worker so I can hide from my job in a lot of ways, but I’m not sure how it’ll impact my career. Feel free to checkout the /c/TransLater community as well! I’m not out to my parents or siblings - only my cis wife. I don’t think I’ll be coming out to anyone anytime soon because my family trends quite conservative.

I’m excited on your behalf!

I know what you mean. The implication in Jadzia’s statement is that she’s typically adhering to straight relationships depending on her gender identity at the time. That being said, if you watch the show and are willing to be a little generous, you can make the claim that she’s pansexual. The actress explicitly has said she wanted to portray her character as pansexual. Also, the trill retain the memories and wisdom of previous partners. It’s hard to imagine that Jadzia wouldn’t feel attraction to her previous partners. In fact, if you watch DS9 S04E05 - Rejoined you’ll see Jadzia kiss her former wife and claim she still feels love for her. In addition, that kiss was one of the first televised lesbian kisses!

Two members of the TV Show Star Trek: Deep Space Nine are having a conversation, Jadzia Dax and Chief O’Brien.

Jadzia Dax asks “Wife problems, Chief?”

“How did you know?” Chief O’Brien replies.

Jadzia goes on to say, “Well, I’ve been a husband and I’ve been a wife, and I know that look from both sides.”
