Trans inclusive WLW events in Melbourne?

I'm a recently out trans woman looking for WLW events and places! I went to FLINTABar and Flippy's last night, the place was nice but it was super hard to talk to anyone because everyone goes in groups or are just there on a date with someone else, I'm looking for new friends and romance!

Not the biggest fan of clubs, tried yahyah's, sircuit (thought it was spelled circuit and it makes sense why there was so, so many men in there) and molly's but really just not my vibe

I'm 24 years old so slightly out of age for crush club which was introduced to me by a very lovely bartender at FLINTABar last night, any other recommendations? Would love to find places for nerds/other autistic people as well with a primarily lesbian demographic as, again, I would really love to meet someone out there because dating apps are miserable, thanks!

Does seeing nudity reset progress?

I'm so sick of it, absolutely everywhere I go, instagram, anime, tv shows, movies, books, there's just naked women in front of me and I'm worried that it's undoing the work I'm doing to be normal again. Does seeing nudity and sexually suggestive things have a chemical effect on me that will reset withdrawal symptoms? I've been insanely anxious and depressed, on top of brain foggy and having ED/Sex drive issues since quitting, so I want to know if I'm going to be stuck feeling like this longer with every unwanted naked-whatever the internet decides to throw my way

Locke mid matchup?

Winrate says 59% riven favoured so am I just boosted? You can't engage on him because he has a flash on 10 second cd and teemo w but faster, so you just have to dodge his q poke all game no? What am I missing here, feels unplayable

Looking for decent quality makeup to start practicing in Australia

I'm very new to makeup cause I'm transfem, tried buying some makeup from Chemist Warehouse but it's really not very good, it feels super inaccurate and janky. I know it's partially because I don't know what I'm doing (tips would also be lovely) but it truly feels like, even though it's meant to be a precise eyeliner, the lines always come out too thick and just look terrible.

I also can't draw a straight line to save my life because I've got naturally shaky hands I guess? Would really just love advice and recommendations on where to buy eyeliner and whatever else I may need, super new to everything fem unfortunately

Big fan of the goth makeup look, probably not the best place to start but it is what I love! What should I buy, any tips on how to apply? Videos, text, anything works, I'm just sick of looking like a man all day and want to put stuff on my face

Masturbated to a picture of a woman's face, what happens now?

Pretty pathetic low point, just a woman rolling her eyes up with her tongue out, quite literally just her face and nothing else. Saw once by accident, got horny and masturbated. Came back to it 5 minutes later, closed the image and masturbated again. Now 6 hours later I straight up masturbated to the image, all three times I came in a minute or two so that's not a good sign. This is probably a relapse right? The first could maybe be considered a slip, but the second and third not great. Am I back to square one? Am I going to start experiencing the awful withdrawals I had to begin with again?

Does outside get way brighter for you when you're sleep deprived?

I've been noticing it again recently as my sleep has been poor, I slept about 6 and a half hours last night and outside is so blindingly bright, is there a reason for this? I haven't just woken up, I've been awake for several hours,​​​​ is it just me? ​

How important is the MO part of PMO?

I want to quit porn because I'm sick of watching depraved filth and not being able to get it up (even on my own), but not masturbating isn't really an option for me as I'm transitioning mtf and penile shrinkage is a real risk if I abstain from masturbating

The issue however is that I've ​​started having big time anxiety, last year I was having panic attacks often and couldn't breathe properly for 3 or 4 months, even when not actively panicking it felt like I just wasn't getting enough air no matter what I did. It was so bad I was ready to die honestly

Anyway it's been maybe a couple of weeks and I noticed this starting again about 5 days ago, and I'm hoping it's mainly due to trying to quit porn again, ​​has anyone else experienced this specific subgenre of anxiety? And will continuing to masturbate (I'm trying not to do it just to feel better when anxious, just whenever I get horny) harm me further? ​​

I want an autistic partner but dating apps are garbage, what do I do?

I'm an autistic trans woman looking mainly for neurodiverse women to date, but dating apps are trash, I'm treated like a man on them and when I'm lucky enough for a match 90% (literally, statistically speaking) of the time I don't even get a second message and 90% of the second message crowd ghost.

I mainly look for neurodiverse women because they'll understand me better and I'd feel safer with them, the problem is I don't know where I'm meant to go to find them outside of dating apps? I probably won't meet an autistic woman at a bar and I feel like a predator approaching people in person, I just don't know what to do? ​​
