where to find the estrogen that gives you G cup massive anime tiddies instantly?
Injection done! Let's see, that would be... number 32! I actually had to go back and look, I stopped keeping track a while ago
Realizing that I'm a background character to everyone in my life makes me want to be even more invisible
Although I'm finding that I'd love to transition purely out of spite at this point
Edit: Just poking back in to share that my mood has evolved into more of a righteous fury on my behalf, less of a resentment. Although I'm generally mad at the world, and this experience has not changed that.
I don't know if the punished-people-pleaser -> scorched-earth-isolationist pipeline is super common but golly, I'm riding it
MODS! OP IS LEAVING ME IN SUSPENSE REGARDING THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE POST, PLEASE BAN! /j
In all seriousness, I'm excited to see what you write up
< me after finally shaving my face again (happy)
it's genuinely depressing when the history of anything good in britain typically boils down to "clement attlee's government (under the influence of aneurin bevan) made good thing. then thatcher came along and destroyed it, followed by tony blair making things worse."
I don't think I know what it's like to be worried about. People have literally never worried about me. I can say concerning shit, do concerning shit, and nobody ever says anything. If they worry, they certainly don't tell me.

Iowkey I think I could get pretty bad without anyone noticing. apparently I have sorcerer-level abilities to fooling people into not realizing that I'm one bad text away from lighting my hair on fire
I might just embrace being fucking unknown, it's like you had your chance to ask a goddamn question. I give up
CW: Do not try applying for a US passport with the correct gender marker until we learn more.
This needs to be validated, but there is some information (see reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/transgender/comments/1i7wakb/state_department_may_have_halted_processing_for/) that not only has the state department halted processing for any gender marker changes, they are also confiscating supporting documents. So, if you send in a passport with the incorrect gender marker, not only could it be not corrected it and your other documentation could be stuck in limbo.
I just sent in my birth certificate and a therapist's letter. I am fucking terrified. I have another certified birth certificate copy at least, but now won't have any passport at all until something changes.
sick kids
Apparently our pediatrics unit isn't the only place getting overloaded, it's the whole hospital and every hospital in the health zone I'm in. We're only just now getting our big wave of peds patients on top of everything else. I dunno how many calls from desperate parents I've had to tell to either get in their pediatricians office, a walk in or if they think it's a true emergency to go to the ER. There's no secret back door to get your kid in to our unit, I know it's a long wait and they might send you home without much, there's literally no spac, for example, for your kid with 3 months of chronic diarrhea because there's 3 emergency appys, there's 4 kids on oxygen, two on airvo, one with epiglottis, three to be admitted from other rural emergencies including one who should've been sent to the big city but they're full too etc etc. We don't have room unless your kid absolutely needs 24/7 nursing care. It's so frustrating, I'm used to a higher standard of care for the community.
And it sounds like it's like this every unit in every hospital. And we're due for strike after February. Good luck
Seems like none of my ID's will need to be renewed until after Trump's term is over. Hopefully I won't have to worry about whether the x gender marker exists then.
lovely weather today. it snowed on top of frozen over roads. fell on my ass, thankfully i have a delicious cushion these days.
Just had the most packed weekend ever with my partner, including going dancing two nights in a row. I'm happy we spent yesterday laughing and loving (and going to brunch lol) instead of dooming.
I love them so much
Relatives have been checking up on me concerned due to the anti-gsrm proclamations of late. Due to where I live and what I interact with I'm a bit more worried about the end of birthright citizenship and wanton deportations without giving AF if who they pick up isn't Latin@ or is a US citizen, they're all going to the same place. So many Born in East LA but unfunny horror stories already happen irl and no one gaf. When I was younger I thought of emigrating out to MX to be yet another digital expat, or maybe to continue on to an advanced degree, I'm so old and broke now idk how realistic that is. I do have some savings, but not enough to start in another country lvl. My spoken Spanish is horrific and there's no one to practice with around here.
I'm the mood for storytime, when my mom worked in agriculture when younger immigration did a sweep and picked up a few Oklahomans along with the rest, they were seriously so power tripping they were thinking about deporting them until some other official had them calm the fuck down. When people think Murikkkan its usually a bit of a southerner, so no one is safe from what's coming . She also had a series of stories about a nice undocumented Canadian she worked with, eventually he ended up getting caught in a sweep.
HRT I have a decent stockpile not just from fearing the eventual scapegoating, but my constant insurance cuts, which I'm facing again. T is a lot more forgiving storage wise and time wise than one would guess off , real people to listen to are body builders, no damn joke. If I had a question its them or my endo. Anyway, for injections I've found vet supplies to be cheaper than Amazon when they have sales.
I'm at the point in my transition like many where I can't go back in the closet, I never really cis-passed very well, so this was always going to happen regardless of what the fools want.
CW bathroom violence story when I was younger
spoiler
So I have PCOS and always had the blessing of facial hair, then some generic appearance things like I have a very masc face.
When I was in late middle school or early high school, mom had just some legal trouble and I was at the nearest Walmart and had to use the bathroom. Some old lady accused me of being a boy-man in the bathroom and began to fight me off with her heavy ass purse and have a flip out about it. Other women in the bathroom ignored her or sat around like bumps on a log. I immediately told grandma about it who was like 'oh well, it happens, just don't tell your mom'.
CW: dysphoria bit health
spoiler
Sometimes I take herbal supplements to help out melatonin or my actual sleep med. One I use and also cook with is mugwort. Mugwort's nice in cakes and dumplings and has a unique herbal flavor, I also find it a bit of a lucid dream cheating-tier aid. I was chatting with a chatbot trying to see what it could pop out about mugwort's various properties and more recipes, and I get to read its actually purposely used to regulate/cause periods. Oops. I usually take or eat it when I'm at my most stressed. I feel sort of silly, I can probably replace it with fenugeek or something flavor wise. I seriously wonder if that's been a decent contributor to my current issues all this time. I never thought of mentioning it to my doctors since food isn't exactly medicine.
Me sowing (buying white sneakers): Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!
Me reaping (they get dirty in an hour): Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.
deleted my insta account... hellsite especially with policy changes
i didnt get anyones contact info. wonder if that was the right decision but people never really reach out to me first anyways or just leave me on read when i message them. more and more i've just felt like a digital voyeur, background static in these ppl's lives
down with apps, no more apps please. get rid of apps
::: spoiler scared
Im kinda finding myself very scared about the day1 EO and what it symbolizes/forbodes. Ik i will probably be ok because of where i am located, but also libs will roll over for anyone and i wont put it past them to say we need to accept and uphold the EO in the name of unity.
Ig its time to bring a chamber pot with me everywhere i go, or a bigwall poop tube
Day one has been terrifying, as I've told people, at least we know what to expect for the next year, this is what they want. If it sticks in the short term or not, they'll be pushing for everything to become law one way or another. It crushed me last night. The whole order about women's health centers is seriously concerning on so many levels.
i found a some guides to lesbian hashtags on xiaohongshu that others may also benefit from

i even found a couple transgender folks today!
edit: And another, Mox a standup she is funny!
edit2: i found a lot of transgender people, mostly american it seems. If you keep using the site and exploring the queer nooks there's a lot of it!
I feel like I need new underwear. The set I currently have is so gray.
Probably should get a bra at some point too, but idk if they are big enough to warrant it and I donβt want to get fitted and what if bras feel weird.
So, if I want to get rid of my beard permanently, I would have to get laser right? I would ask if any here have had experience with Danish places, but we don't have many Danes nor are they online that much, I think? So any more general knowledge on it is appreciated!
