On this page I am trying to explain myself more or those things that you
|
|
|
|
|
might wonder in my self-description. Some things that I explain here may
|
|
|
|
|
overlap with different features.

## GirlsLikeUs — I am trans woman
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It simply means that I was incorrectly defined as boy at birth which I
|
2015-02-28 12:31:53 +01:00
|
|
|
never was. I didn't always know it, but around 14-15 Dysphoria really hit
|
|
|
|
|
me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I was always different from boys and I have been always bullied and I
|
|
|
|
|
became suicidal and depressed. I was diagnosed with AS which didn't so
|
|
|
|
|
much, but finally I came to realization on who I am and started the
|
|
|
|
|
progress to be recognized as myself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As the progress is too slow in Finland I ended up starting HRT by myself
|
|
|
|
|
(like many (if not most) of us here do) and was on it for year before
|
|
|
|
|
getting diagnosed and getting HRT officially.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many people have said that I am nowadays happier and smile more and other
|
|
|
|
|
things like that and I know this is who I am.

## AS - Asperger's Syndrome
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I am AS-person and you might see it from the way I write and speak. I have
|
|
|
|
|
some over-sensitive senses like sense of hearing and it becomes difficult
|
|
|
|
|
for me to speak if I try to look into your eyes at the same time, so I am
|
|
|
|
|
not trying to be impolite or anything, it's just easier to not look at you
|
|
|
|
|
while I speak. Same applies to understanding your speaking.

## Feminist
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I support equal rights for everyone and the right of self-definition (or
|
|
|
|
|
not requiring anyone to define themselves). Everyone should also be the one
|
|
|
|
|
to choose what they do with their body (abortion, gender transition etc.)
|
|
|
|
|
freely without complicated researchs and other people or society judging
|
|
|
|
|
them.

## Linux user
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have been used Linux since 2008, I started with [Ubuntu] \(8.04) which I am
|
|
|
|
|
still using. My preferred distribution is [Ubuntu MATE] or
|
|
|
|
|
[Ubuntu Server], but I am also familiar with other distributions, mainly
|
|
|
|
|
[Debian]-deriatives.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have experience with [Fedora] and other distributions from that side too
|
|
|
|
|
and I am not entirely lost while using them, but somehow I have always
|
|
|
|
|
preferred Debian side. Maybe it's just that I have learned to use it.
