people Over There are using a “happy with your HRT?” prompt post to share transition timelines. my contribution:

started at 20, and I was on 2mg of estrogen a day for some time. attached, we have, roughly: 2 years pre-HRT; 2 years post-; 10 years post-; 18 years post-. quite happy with the results.
“Sorry, I think I’m a little off lately because I’m having a hard time dealing with my adaptational trauma.” yeah I’m out, my favorite character would never say that

really hard to find stuff made by people with taste, which is to say: the exact personal preferences I’ve developed and become permanently attached to. I think it’s some new and disturbing failing on the part of culture, global culture, and not simply my aging into irrelevance

no, no, the movie sounds great, I just haven’t been able to take her seriously as a dramatic actress ever since I learned that she spends all of her free time trying to learn to move tin foil with her mind

on a really foggy morning you can sit on the dock and watch the local dentists wade out into the mist and scoop up a bag or two of nature’s laughing gas. oftentimes they’ll linger out there, giggling in the water

uk comedy has long been dominated by the privately-educated, but at least that used to mean you could tell the python guys knew latin, and fry and laurie had a solid understanding of the western canon. at best, you get the sense the snl: oxbridge crew have kind-of heard of shakespeare

excited for another day of following the arbitrary and confounding decisions of the guy who happened to get your job eight months before you did? no worries if you don’t want to bother with any of that, you’re only forced to on penalty of homelessness

really stressful day at roget’s. you know how they’ve got me in the thesaurus department? this morning my supervisor almost added too many words to the big list of words and nearly hit the sentience threshold that turns our simple book into a fully-thinking (evil) human brain

imagining a dystopian one-world government regime of capital, a regime prone to internal conflicts, but a regime all the same, with a few isolated nations separate from the empire but besieged by the financial and military power it worships and wields, a dead culture, burning, i

alright, Rule Lord, I’ll acquiesce to your rules—this time. but you should know: you’re only make it more narratively satisfying when I later defy those very same rules.

i was just offered a sponcon deal by a non-profit dedicated to spreading awareness of moral virtue, they wanted me to make a post detailing my own personal values and how those manifest in my life as integrity, but i can’t do it, it feels disgusting, it feels like selling out

my mentor instructed me to manifest my cleverness as intelligence. then, once I was done with that, he told me to do the opposite—manifest my intelligence as cleverness. I’m hard at work on it, and I wouldn’t worry, except… I found a notepad with the word “smartitude” underlined

Was walking through High Park totally unaware that today was the first day of school until a dad watching this bird with his young daughter met my “Do you want me to grab your phone and get a picture of this moment?” with wet eyes and a croaked-out, “Please.”

trust and piety got back to me and said platform logs indicate the “hate mob” that harassed and swatted me was just an account burst from a digital poltergeist, apparently it’s been happening a lot since spiritual private network providers established those ouijre tunnels into
