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.
As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It’s for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Slept a ton and still feel like last night/earlier. Just miserable and hopeless. Why. I hate this. Why can’t it just be okay.
I’ve been housing stressed lately but I do actually have some gender shit to share.
internalized transphobia but in the sense that I realized I was operating under some and am deciding not to
I was going on one of my walks (best stress relief there is) and I realized that I’m pretty sure the part of me that feels agender/nonbinary or whatever is actually me feeling like I don’t deserve to call myself fully a girl. Feeling like I’m not allowed to be a girl without an asterisk. So I’ve been calling my dysphoric half agender. I’m going to stop doing that.
Gender is kind of bullshit and I’m kind of of the opinion that things would be better for everyone if it didn’t exist at all and we just expressed ourselves however the hell we wanted, but while it exists, I’m just a girl. And I need to get better at letting myself say that without any other qualifiers. Because they aren’t me.
i had a banger post
i wanted to save it for the new trans mega
but fuck i already forgot wtf i was gonna post. fuck
Every week I come back to see if it’s my turn yet, soon…
rawr :3
Took my E dose! I missed my small dose last week because I just started split dosing and I’m not used to the schedule yet. Fortunately I also went up in dose at the same time and just kept doing my usual dose on Sundays and the extra I need on Thursday. Journaling has helped me recognize my emotions so much better and I noticed an end of week decline in my mental health leading up to today that I now recognize from from before I started split dosing. Plugging my regimen into the HRT levels simulator my levels should be falling quite a bit leading up to my dose when I don’t split dose, so this is all adding up in my head. It also makes me regret not pushing for a higher dose earlier, since it took me about 1.5 years of HRT to get to an effective dose, but I’m here now and that’s what actually matters.
bed
should get up but is so nice an warmweird writing style dysphoria nonsense that is fake and nonsense but feels real for some reason
Sometimes I’m jealous of the posting style of some of the girls in this mega because they read so cute. And meanwhile my writing feels like man speak
last
why is prog so expensive ughhhhh can we seize the means of production already
I decided to try ballroom dance and all that! It sounded fun, can’t remember who here tried it. Most dancing I do is like at the bar or a club, I haven’t done this structured partner dance since like middle school
I am NOT used to be a follower in most aspects of my life. Its fucking hard to not take charge of the guy lol. Also, its so strongly gendered which is a little weird but whatever - theyre serving the silver haired crowd so I suppose its to be expected. Im certainly one of the younger people at this studio. Also, hopefully this isnt like any other studio but theyre super hard on the sell and I get a lot of cultish vibes… I think Ill finish out my lessons and then find somewhere more cassusal.
ranting and rambling. some all caps expletives
Why the FUCK do I have to prove I’m profitable to ANYONE do be able to fucking live somewhere? And why the FUCK are they allowed to just say no? I can’t fathom the cruel lack of humanity one has to have to be a landlord. I just want this stress to be over. I can’t take it anymore.
Idk why I’m feeling so positive all of a sudden but well, thanks brain chemistry?
I told off my mom for how she forced me to cut my hair and screamed at me in public. I stood my ground and said that I am having second thoughts about inviting her to my place if this is how she behaves.
My mom didn’t like what I was saying but her attitude became a lot more apprehensive. Gotta say, It feels nice to show myself some basic respect.
