Abt switch
The Abt switch is a kind of railway switch used on funiculars (inclined cable railways) that doesn’t have any moving parts. It allows two cars to pass each other going uphill/downhill while sharing the same tracks. While most train switches rely on physically moving a section of track so the train goes one way or the other, the abt switch doesn’t move at all. Instead each carriage has a grooved wheel which makes it turn left or right at a junction by sticking to the track on one side.

Emotions are hitting harder
By emotions I mean sadness I keep getting to the verge of tears
Yeah sadness was the big one for the first bit. Going from never crying to crying at the drop of a hat can take adjustment. Eventually, emotionally, you get to experience way more and different and more fine grain than before with dysphoria and T.
I am less angry than I was before HRT but feminine rage is absolutely real and I get that.
I hear that happens. You partially inspired me to hit up my doc for hrt so hopefully I can join you in the tears soon :)
You’re going to make me cry :doggirl-cry: like actually am though…
Good job starting hrt!
I didn’t mean to make it worse! and thank you, I don’t know how long it will take, but it’s been so long I don’t mind waiting a bit longer
:kitty-cri: no no it’s okay… not your fault just a bit emotional…
If it sounds like the wait list is long just diy, it’s not that hard. That’s what I’m doing
Good for you, that’s an exciting step to take!
It’s exciting! A little scary, not a fan of doctors generally, but it’ll be worth it
Lol my appointment got pushed back months, but it turns out they are on leave, so now I’m speaking to somebody on Wednesday :)))))))))
The first couple months can be emotionally tumultuous, but once it calms down it can be nice to feel things differently. That’s how it was for me anyway.
