The ever present dilemma of wanting to be thicker but not wanting my sleep apnea to get worse

this is my life

If you have a spare 30-ish dollars and are in the US I’ve ordered labs from ulta labs a few times. No doctor needed

Suddenly when puberty blockers are given to cis kids, the Daily Mail (the same newspaper which backed Hitler btw) finally admits that "their effects are not permanent, and once a child lets their blocking treatment lapse, puberty will just continue as normal."

Which is true for trans kids too.

It's an immeasurably foolish thing for any trans person to attempt to seek to compromise with the anti-trans movement, it's a genocidal ideology with the singular stated goal of extermination, they want us "mandated out of existence" and any one issue brought up is merely a step towards that goal.

DID is interesting because it has symptoms from basically every neurodivergence. I knew something was wrong with me, but no diagnosis ever quite fit despite relating to all of them. Especially autism, adhd, and cptsd, but also many others.

I think progesterone is actually fixing my insomnia

something i think gets lost in the endless ‘transsexual’ discourse is that when organizing a movement to make society meet the needs of a marginalized group, the best way to secure rights for everyone in the group is to lead with the maximalist case—ie you fight for the subset with the *most* needs

i am very exhausted by disinformation about the cost of transition healthcare. it costs less than $100 for 1-2 years of hormones, depending on your exact sourcing. presenting HRT as impossibly expensive and inaccessible to people who need HRT but don't know how is equivalent to medical gatekeeping.

4 frame comic. 1st is the silhouette of two podcaster. Text reads In a world where trans people's dignity, humanity, and existence are subject to debate, every trans suicide is a murder. 2 is a silhouette of a swimmer. Text reads In a world where trans people aren't allowed to participate in their community, every trans suicide is a murder. 3 shows Gavin Newsom. Text reads In a world where trans people are thrown under the bus because their rights aren't considered a "winning issue", every trans suicide is a murder. 4 shows Lia Smith. Text reads In a world where trans people have to fight every instant of their life simply to have the right to live in peace, every trans suicide is a murder.

Say it with me.

Opinion | Evidence Backs the Transgender Social-Contagion Hypothesis The share of young people claiming another ‘gender identity’ exploded. Now surveys show it is receding.

Yikes! This is fake news. More trans kids felt safe to come out, now they don't. Government's are painting a target on the back of trans kids backs, forcing them tk stay in the closet.

Like, obviously trump’s policies aren’t helping- but I’m kind of of the mind that this was going to happen anyways as the economy continues to abandon all forms of consumerism, cutting out the 99% from participating at all

Amazing how they don’t even need to pass laws anymore

This is literally Nazi shit. This is what the Nazis did. If you support this, you are a Nazi, and if that makes you upset, then STOP BEING A FUCKING NAZI

I really want cis folks to understand the situation - trans women face widespread employment discrimination and live in devastating poverty.

Meanwhile, the woman who came in fifth place in a swimming competition, ONCE, makes a million+ a year to advocate for destroying our rights.

Wtf

Loved the chainsaw man movie

tbh the way we talk about prog feels a little too centered on physical changes to the point of neglecting the very simple fact that you deserve a full hormone profile

big part of the issue is that messaging around prog has been dominated by a few really subjectively obvious effects that are real but not experienced universally. prog isnt good because itll make you horny. prog is good because when you replace all the hormones in your body you shouldnt skip one.

That’s been my experience too, but I assume it’s because I have other issues than just gender dysphoria.

Did you try the brain magnet for depression(TMS)? It didn’t help me

I think I’m becoming less free will pilled

I miss fall. I can’t get into the Halloween spirit when it’s hot outside

I get the feeling this is just the beginning of benefit cutting at the va and we’re going to start seeing a flood of articles like these in the near future.

That’s impressive- an hour after surgery I’m still very loopy

a trans girl in vermont was kicked off her swimming team and committed suicide and at the very same time, the discourse in d.c. today is about whether the democratic party should’ve abandoned her sooner in order to win votes

a day in an american life

I was in denial for so long because my whole life I only heard that being trans was “being born in the wrong body” which before I figured it out, my body was just my body
