My apartment is 17° this morning (63° for the yanks) 🥰 it's finally cool enough to wear sweatpants inside, now I don't have to walk around naked just to survive

I must admit that I don’t read theory as much as I’d like to and I also know nothing about books/literature :( But I want to start reading about gender theory (from a marxist perspective). What was the book that was stickied to this com a while ago? And is that a good book to start or does anyone recommend something else?

Also feel free to recommend any fun fiction books that have lots of trans representation. I’m not a huge literature nerd but I do love a good story that’s a bit easy to read (I used to enjoy scifi and fantasy)

Just finished the first week of a new semester. I have some disrespectful students in my class that find pleasure out of putting me and their classmates down. This is the first time I've had to deal with this level of "high school vibes" from people who are supposed to be adults. Sooooo wish me luck as I try and figure out how to handle that I guess

Still kind of nervous about the process of processing a passport, but at least I have the photos and don't have to worry about that immediately.

imagining the edges of my screen flashing and turning pink every time i do my E shots like you're doing drugs in disco elysium

Really proud of my hair today, I've been using some jojoba oil for the dry ends and smeared it on my head a few times now, and the hair looks and feels fabulous

I mean it's still an unruly motherfucker which refuses to stay straight no matter what I do, but i like it

had my phone on dnd for over a month due to mental health stuff. it's actually kind of interesting choosing when to check for things instead of instant notifications. I think I prefer just getting notifications though, so tomorrow it's back to it

awww that hot trans girl i had a crush on already has a gf oh okay

I bought a skirt. I am currently wearing a skirt for the first time in my entire life.

It's sort of the same colour and material as one of those goofy army jackets you get. It's floofy and full of ruffles and stuff, ankle length. When I first saw it I thought, that's a skirt worn by a fashion criminal. But I brought it home and I'm wearing it, I have it paired with a white/blue plaid flannel and a form fitting tank top. Currently vibing.

Made it to my destination safely. Plane ride wasn’t bad all said. Except the one plane they kept the temp at like 64F (18C) in the cabin and I froze my ass off.

Finally met my longtime best friend in person and, even though the convention is gonna suck, I’m so happy that we met. We talked a lot, cried a little, and had a good time in just a few hours. It’s gonna be great. 🥹

Simultaneously, it finally hit me that I had bottom surgery. Like fully. Hearing it from the perspective of someone not in my immediate family kinda just sunk it in hard. I’ve been crying ever since, even if lowkey.

Waking up every day gay and trans is a "blessing" I never take for granted, makes me happy every time. Rolling out of bed with a beautiful nonbinary goth wife who is also gay n trans, to go be autistic together and cause problems. ❤

my boobs are sensitive again after two weeks on injections

so yesterday a boat sinks with 2 billionares on, lost at sea basically presumed dead at this point. and next week a billionare is gonna do a space walk in the van allen radiation belts. they really are just gonna wipe themselves out huh? can some of them stay around long enough for us to do the whole guillotine thing?

Where's cromalin I miss cromalin

I went and looked back at one of the weekly thread from January, which had 68 comments. We have come so far, chat.

Have everything organized for my passport application appointment tomorrow.
Hopefully everything goes smoothly so I can stop living with this background anxiety.

Only have one more flight after this one under my deadname, woooo

That was a pretty good lil bit of gender euphoria tbh. I don't get it that often or that intense, maybe partly because it's been so long transitioning, but I felt that dorky lil spark of happy while spinning.

welp. not to completely spill the beans on my living situation but i think the only option i have left right now is to come out to my parents and move back in with them, in that order because I don't know if that will even work

I made my cake today because I could. Ton of work. Required a lot of temperature controlled parts and it was tough, but I did it! It was going great until my cat decided to jump on the counter and walk on it while it was cooling.

The good news is I draped a damp paper towel over it while it was cooling and it was still usable, but it was a very fluffy cake that got immediately deflated after he did it :| Still tasted really good.

For the record, it was a Japanese-style sponge cake with whipped white chocolate ganache and a raspberry filling. All homemade. It was delicious. I actually had 2 slices, which is wild because I generally have great self-control.

It's oh so quiet

Having to work is transphobia actually

talked to the gender doc, got my prescription for progesterone + an appointment with a PCP who can medicate my ADHD and learned they're gonna cover surgery and all the prep costs.

i am cackling

Face/pit laser session went well. Nurse said she thinks I'll see good results.

Five weeks until session two!

Moving out of the country is stressful
They should just let me leave

Boymoding for the first time in a long while :( just dont have the capacity to deal with anything rn, including/especially the stares :(

JOIN THE MATRIX YOU DWEEBS

I saw a youtube short where a fisherman caught an intersex lobster and I could feel shriveling up in his cool communist shrine of a house and not understanding why

changing your name to Karen as a bit

Bit idea: just not doing whatever I need to. Call doctors? Nuh uh. Renew my health card? Nuh uh! Poke about surgery stuff? Believe it or not, also nuh uh.

I was never huge on dresses, but recently I've been dress + blazer/jacket-pilled

welp. Parents know now. We'll be talking more about it on monday over dinner. They've so far used my chosen name once which is nice, but this also means I have to go talk to my parents again, and explain why my face has looked like it's gained weight while the rest of me looks like it's lost weight

Watching the credits roll on Fallow and BETA TESTERS: Remy Boydell.

ALL TRANS WOMEN WHO MAKE THINGS ONLINE KNOW EACHOTHER ITS ALL CONNECTED

This must be where 920LONDON the song being based on 920LONDON the graphic novel came from, I guess. Uh what the fuck. Also that ending raised even more questions than it answered.

If you know anything about any of this shit I am begging you to talk to me about it. This feels like I opened up a big rabbit hole, I am not gonna shut up about this for days at least

Just saw a truck with 'it's transpossible!' written on it.

The post office should hire only trans employees so they can say they have a country-wide network of trans porters
