Always funny looking back to when you thought trans people were cool, but you were unfortunately not cool enough to be trans.

Yes, but only if its pee pee related.

when will my nipples stop looking so weird??

There’s such thing as non-weird looking nipples?

Doctors told her she would be unlikely to carry the child to term, and doing so increased her chances of infection or other severe outcome.

When the law is a witch hunt not based on science, doctors cannot operate based on their best judgement based on science. Real issues of “unlikely” and “increased her chances” aren’t the same things as immediate medical emergency: they prevent an immediate medical emergency. Any law restricting abortions to when they are “medically necessary” will always lead to cases where its denied until its immediately medically necessary, at which point it may be too late. This is a clear-cut example of what such laws will always do and doctors being forced to tiptoe around the feelings of fanatics instead of being able to practice medicine.

That’s meant as a compliment, right?

Do you blame the grocery store?

Yes.

I spent two years avoiding using pronouns elsewhere on the internet because I didn’t think I was trans and that it would trivialize others’ use of them. Before that I worried a little bit about being asked my pronouns IRL because I wouldn’t know how to answer, but never even considered why that would be something I’d be unsure about.

It’s not like my account is that important. I have the same account on different instances so when one has technical problems, I just use the other. Just copied the settings over. Not like I need to be able to go through all my history much.

Those annoy me more because I often instantly scroll to the bottom and miss that its in the wrong spot.

I assumed it was a poster’s re-titling a headline of an article that spent more time complaining about procedural things like permits than condemning Nazis.

I think I might get nervous/put it off if I started with injections.

Exactly why I started with pills.

Would definitely check with the clinician to make sure, especially if that’s 2mg/day rather than 2mg twice a day.

Are they done yet?

I’ve done the same. I think they’ve usually been in by the morning for me?

A threat about such a topic is gonna attract people with similar experiences. Personally, I don’t think my lack of attraction has change significantly. Can’t say I don’t notice some things about men on occasion now I didn’t before, but it doesn’t seem like its really attraction. If anything, its probably more like me noticing certain feminine features despite the clear lack of attraction, which I assumed pre-egg-crack (or even re-realizing I was ace) was mostly just because of comphet. If it turns out I’m wrong about having a lack of attraction and actually being attracted to men, it wouldn’t really surprise me given what my pre-egg-crack sexual fantasies often were like - it wouldn’t really be a change in who I was attracted to or even repression related to internalized homophobia, but just due to discomfort with myself (primarily my body, but also just roles I felt like I was expected to fulfil if I were to be in such relationships).

The appointment went well. I was super nervous, but everyone was supportive. I really liked my clinician, and she said that PP was taking steps to try to get its patients stockpiles of treatment if it looks like HRT access ends up being threatened by the new admin.

Glad to hear that. I think next time I talk to them is the start of January, but I might see about having towards the end of December because of this. Hopefully the next admin doesn’t make it harder for people to get their levels checked. It can take some time to figure out what works for you.

Had a random old guy compliment my appearance in a public area. I have a beard and he gendered me as a man, but like still surprisingly happy about the compliment instead of just confused why someone would compliment something about my appearance. Still confused by the compliment, but being happy about such is a new thing.

Congrats on getting the prescription! I hope the appointment went well.

Are you taking the pill sublingually?
