Using a wand on the end of the dilator usually helps soothe pain for me.

I hope you find a solution that works for you soon.

I’d love it if I could sleep more than 5 hours in a night again. I really dislike being so caught up in my emotions that it messes with my sleep so much.

But biting is fun!

This is a really interesting look at the stories we tell ourselves after we figure out we are trans. For me I think I knew pretty well when I was young, that understanding was hindsight being 20/20. So I don't know for sure if that memory is true. All I do know for sure is I was 31 when I came out.

Me and my bird.

The last 48 hours have shown why people have stopped relying on legacy journalism and have migrated to independent journalists in droves.

The benefit of legacy journalism is supposed to be “editors” and “factchecking” and they can’t even get that right in a rush to blame trans people.

It's really hard not to spiral on some of this stuff, but I think you are right.

late for the assassination because i hired the guy that sells my name written on a grain of rice in the park to write my manifesto out on a bullet casing and he's taking sooooooo long

be very careful about what you post online

“There is no place for political violence in this country” say the politicians using legislation and rhetoric to attack trans people, immigrants, women and BIPOC daily. Just because it’s done with a pen and not a gun doesn’t mean it’s not political violence. Hypocrites. Not that they care.

I am seeing a LOT of people misleadingly say "The senate will not pass this, they'll filibuster."

IF Democrats filibuster, that means the government shuts down. This was a major reason the NDAA restrictions on tricare for trans youth passed last time, Dems did not filibuster.

Being trans is great, but it would nicer during a time when my mere existence is not a form of protest

To my 🏳️‍⚧️ family, know that there’s nothing more feminist & honorable than choosing to affirm your gender identity despite society telling you to be something else.

Trans women, you are showing that there is worth in being a woman, despite patriarchy telling us womanhood is something to be ashamed of

Ok, so I’m putting this out there. If you could share this as widely as possible, I’m hoping the creators of Ted Lasso could potentially see this and maybe have some 🏳️‍⚧️ representation in their newly announced season 4🤞

This administration's attacks on trans people aren't "a distraction" from everything else they're doing. We're not a distraction. What they're doing to trans people is the most bad thing of all - everything else being done is to distract people from the targeting of trans people for extermination.

To my 🏳️‍⚧️ and queer siblings out there, I know things are scary and insane right now. It is happening and you are not crazy for seeing it for what it is.

That being said, don’t give in to despair. We’ve been here before. 🧵

Doesn’t happen to me but my YouTube feed is mostly trans people. Maybe they got the hint I want nothing to do with right wingers.

Honest to god, the legal orgs and attorneys need to sue one of the hospitals in one of these blue states with civil rights protections for not providing trans care to trans youth.

The lawyers at these hospitals only understand legal threats.

They are complying with Trump because they're scared.

Well said and I’ve been thinking about this a lot in the recent months.

And you are beautiful

Endocrine management of transgender adolescents: Expert consensus of the french society of pediatric endocrinology and diabetology working group Requests for hormonal transition in minors are increasing. To date, there is no national recommendation to guide these practices in France. Therefore,…

Contradicting claims that Europe is moving away from gender affirming care, France issued new guidelines reaffirming gender affirming care for trans youth. A similar one is expected in Germany soon.

I have a feeling the New York Times won't report on this.

I walked into that. Well played 🙃

Horror video game protagonists coming across ammo early in the game before scary stuff has happened:

“Huh, just some ammo lying around in the only kitchen drawer I can open. Well, that’s not ominous. I don’t even have a gun but I guess I’ll put it in my pocket for noooooo reason.”

What kept me sane was having a laptop in bed with me. I’d sit on VCs with friends and partners and watch a lot of tv and play games.

Speak for yourself, I do it regularly lol.

I love scary movies but living in one for 4 years seems a little excessive.
