heights and needles. heavy on the second. i have multiple piercings and tattoos and i do an injection on myself weekly, and it has not gotten better and warrants the same level of panic every time.

i think they're a great idea and they're pretty fun to ride, but i really don't enjoy how fast people go with them on busy sidewalks with lots of pedestrians and how they're just left to clutter up sidewalks when people throw them to the ground after use. they're not much else than an annoyance on tighter sidewalks to me, but i'm sure to people who require mobility aids they can make life really difficult.

especially by people who are attracted to us. as soon as i read “im madly in love with a trans woman” i prepared for the worst out of a kneejerk reaction from weirdos who speak in the nastiest way about trans women they’re into.

the desire for "unprocessed consumption" has led people to leather? because the way leather appears on a boot is exactly the way it appeared on the cow, no processing in between was necessary!

i think the biggest overall feeling is how much weight feels like it’s been lifted off of you. it’s probably all psychological but it feels like you wake up from something or like you’ve been pinned under a boulder your whole life and finally had it lifted. i’ve only felt alive as long as i’ve been on hrt. and i think this is why so many feel like they experience emotion deeper than before, a general numbness goes away and you feel more in tune with your own emotions.

as for actual physiological change, you can expect skin feeling softer over time and of course the pain in your chest with breast development. i feel like i noticed scents a lot more often and definitely feel temperature much more than i did.

it all seems so daunting at first, but it’s a journey laden with joy.

well, there's nothing you can do to "look trans" unless you want to reproduce some really fucked up stereotypes. maybe it's best not to use transness as something to offend others? to utilize a lived reality as something to get a rise out of somebody. just my advice as a trans person.

exactly what im thinking. i don't know how you can make an outfit "look trans". feels reeeaally iffy to even say.

i don't really know what to suggest that won't reproduce harmful stereotypes. what's wrong with just doing drag? conservatives fucking hate that and they can't even tell the difference between being trans and doing drag.

i have literally never seen these terms used in any other way than like, people basically calling me a man or at least not seriously a woman or differentiating me from womanhood in some way. like, for the cis "allies" who think it's inclusive but also feel uncomfortable with allowing me into womanhood, so to speak. designations on genitalia like this are genuinely only useful in a medical setting and none else.

the one time he finally decides to do something cool with the last few months in office, out of all the cool things he could have done, he does this?
