Warning: Grapefruit can interact with drugs, such as decreasing the effectiveness of estradiol, making Oxycodone last longer, increasing blood levels when on Viagra, and much more.

Grapefruit inhibits multiple enzymes in the small intestine, most notably CYP3A4. CYP3A4 is involved in the breaking down of a lot of drugs, so when it's inhibited Oxycodone becomes inactive slower, and estradiol won't break down all the way into estrogen. Drugs that are affected by grapefruit will often have warnings on their packaging

Personally, I like putting just a little bit of salt on my grapefruit, to counteract the bitter flavor. Dumping sugar on it doesn't help. Grapefruits are about half as sour as lemons, since they have half the citric acid content.

Grapefruits were accidentally created as a cross between the sweet orange and the pomelo, in Barbados. Those fruits originate from Asia, but were brought to the Caribbean in the 17th century. Since it's parent fruits are native to Asia, it grows well in Asia too.

some-controversy and peekaboo (China and Vietnam) are the two largest producers of Grapefruits, producing collectively 6.3 million tons out of the 9.8 million tons of worldwide production.

The painting was made by Robert Papp, who has a website here: https://robertpapp.com/. I don't really know anything about the guy.

The lemon things with all of the recipes was really cool, but to be honest I just like grapefruit raw, cut in half and ate with a spoon.

reminder that transition is a marathon and not a race. for example, im almost 3 years into hormones and i only just installed linux

[โ€“] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 17 points 3 days ago

I started transitioning socially well before starting hormones, by which I mean I went full time with Linux in 2022 and started hormones 4 months ago.

Does it count as temporary detransition if I stopped using Linux at some point?

Been wanting to give it another try, but also I tend to spend hours getting stuff set up and digging through settings and don't really have the time/motivation to deal with that currently.

One of the things I love about my name is the nicknames/ways to shorten it catgirl-happy

Maybe I need to tell people I'm okay with that? Maybe I'm overthinking this but I feel like people might be more hesitant about that kind of thing because I'm trans.

[โ€“] LocalOaf@hexbear.net 10 points 3 days ago

Same, I go by a shortened version of my name like 99% of the time so when a friend uses my full name it's like a nice little surprise lol

We instantly started calling a friend of mine by a common nickname for her chosen name when she came out, and she was quite happy with that because it's exactly what she wanted too! โ™ก

I dunno, it felt pretty right. Think, like... Nicki for Nicole or Ally for Alexandria. It was a pretty common nickname.

A friend took me to see a movie and she promised me it wasn't that scary, but the first thirty minutes or whatever was like the scariest thing I've ever seen (after that it was okay). Just sat and stared into my lap in the cinema and now I won't be able to sleep tonight doggirl-sweat Feel exhausted after watching it

cars are dangerous and I almost got seriously injuredI was crossing a crosswalk and someone accelerated from a full stop right into me and threw me into a busy road. I'm not hurt (don't even have any scratches) but it was so scary.

Not even the first time I've had a scary run in with a car. One time I was walking through my neighborhood and a guy in a sports car zipped around a corner and was inches way from hitting me very fast. Like he was speeding speeding.

God I hate cars.

Anyone here have issues staying asleep? Before transition I didn't have real issues with this but since transition it's been a problem. I got on some sleeping pills but am scared of getting addicted to them so I only take them every so often.

Idk if sleeping is just... Gonna be difficult from now on? Or if it's anxiety? Idk.

A major moment is happening... [brief mention of transphobia from family]

After being on HRT for over 1.5 years, becoming more feminine, being interpreted as androgynous in so many scenarios, and even working on voice training so I can speak in an androgynous tone, I feel like, despite all of my progress, something was lacking from me being able to take on a true essence as myself full-time: the hair.

I am growing freeform dreadlocks, and though I love the process and keep getting pleasantly surprised by the development, it takes a lot of patience to be satisfied with such a hairstyle. I certainly am willing to wait, but I want to feel more affirmed in my hairstyle as it takes time to get long and more defined.

Initially, I started wearing headscarves which helps obscure my hair on bad hair days where the freeforms are acting a bit more unpredictable, but recently, I was able to take it a step further.

I was talking with an IRL friend of mine who is also non-binary, and I've known him for a long time. Me and him actually go back to when he was known by his deadname; that's how far, and we've both come a long way in achieving more euphoria. I told him that I started wearing headscarves, and he finds it cute and affirming for me.

I told him that I would like to maybe wear a wig now that I'm seeing how feminine the scarf made me, but due to my situation as you may know, I don't have much money to spend on things like that.

So, what happened is that this friend actually went out of his way to do some mutual aid with other people, and I was able to get money to get a neat, decently long dreadlocks wig for every day use that's in a color and style I absolutely adore.

I'm really fucking excited about this. It is expected to come in the mail exactly one month before my birthday, so it feels like an early birthday gift in a sense, the best one I could ever receive, and this is the opportunity that'll pretty much let me live as my transfem androgyne self full-time without too many "off days" where I look and feel more masculine than others.

It almost feels unbelievable especially since my transphobic family barred me from living as myself for so long that there were so many moments where I couldn't see the end of the suffering in sight.

Hard to believe there was a time when the trans mega was getting over 2k posts per week

[โ€“] MusicOwl@hexbear.net 16 points 4 days ago (1 children)

We very well could reach this level of posting again! Last year, it was right around pride as I recall. Also @ashinadash was such a powerposter she could contribute hundreds of comments herself.

[โ€“] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

@ashinadash

awh i miss her and her reviews of terribly romance slop (some of which i pointed out to her) @magi too catgirl-cry

[โ€“] MusicOwl@hexbear.net 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Her and Magi were my faves! Magi especially got me to really explore my neurodivergence and nonbinary gender identity. Miss their posting very much. trans-heart

Magi gave me a recc for a vegan shampoo and conditioner and my hair has never been this gooooood trans-heart

I have a job where I send correspondence back to doctors. My personal quirk is I use no title and first name for male doctors. And Dr surname for female doctors. Because I'm respecting women here.
