Yikes, sucks that the heat effects you so intensely. I have the opposite problem, so I love the heat, though I also have A/C for nighttime when the nights sometimes get too hot to sleep.

I'm just coming out of a 7 month winter so I'm not going to complain about summer until I've had at least a week of it.

Oof, i don't think I could handle a Norwegian winter. The 4pm darkness in southern England is already bad enough.

It's not that bad in most of Norway. It's just a long country and I live at the cold end.

I totally understand the fear, I'm there too. Wishing you all the strength and confidence.

I have recently bought summery girl pants (like these)

They are helping me not feel like I'm wearing boy clothes when I'm not in a place I can wear a skirt.

Whatever works in this scary world honestly, im glad those help you!

To be honest im well past hidey clothes in general. I have worn a sundress in public this year on our first hot day. More recently its been legging shorts and skirts.

Its more just giving less of a fuck about what others think and making it more about what i think of myself. Its like a scale, my thoughts on one side, others on the other. The more i do it, the less weight others thoughts have on my scale. All that weight gets added to my side when i love myself and am generally happier.

Eventually my side will fully outweigh the other side, and there will be no going back after that. Ill be free, out, and proud. And most importantly, happy ❤️❤️
