"I have pain in my genitals and it started when I started HRT?"
"Well, sure, but you said you didn't ever want GRS, so that means the pain is because you're not fully committed to transitioning, which is because of internalized misogyny. I prescribe finding female role models"
"???"

months later, finally able to see new doctor:
"I have pain in my genitals"
*evaluates my body*
*prescribes antibiotics*
*condition cured, had nothing to do with HRT*

and Worst Doctor is a trans specialist! Ugh

I did some HRT in 2014, had what I thought were complications (learned a year later they were unrelated), stopped, moved, had an awful new doctor who kept me away from medical care for months... then didn't want to risk health and strength while living with scary (now ex) boyfriend... then finally got back on HRT sometime late 2015?

Went full-time femme early 2015? Maybe end of 2014?

Shoulda done it when baby April had her first gender thoughts in like kindergarten, but... took me a long time to learn what being trans really meant and get past cis propaganda

GF to me: "There's glitter on your forehead! And I wipe it off and then there's more coming out of your pores! You're like the glitter hydra!"

Oops the pic didn't come through! It's Monster Pop and I'm excited to keep reading! Could use more gay so far but I have faith.

Loooove Frannie the witch so much!

Now settling in with a nice gay comic

And because I cannot stay *that* strong, but giving her the mystery video game present would distract her, I got her a plushie jackalope https://witches.town/media/DEGyr7mKSIgJs7U1E1c

I got my gf a present to help give her positive reinforcement on a task she's been having trouble getting done... but she still hasn't gotten it done and I want her to have the present because she'll like it!

I must stay strong!

my most-observed Habitica habit is "headache journal"

This means I both have a headache and write notes about it more often than I do any of these other beneficial habits

I think the hunt for people's limited attention makes people write incredibly anxiety-jolting birdtoots and headlines

best overheard conversation on the bus:
which grocery stores leave valuable liquor out where you can steal it, how to stash it in a trash can and come back when you're sure there's no heat, and where to sell on the street to drunken gentrifiers

"it was before the Age of Memes, when 'senpai' just meant the more experienced students at battle ballerina school"

tho to be fair I did have a crush on one of the more experienced ballerinas but I was too dorky to know what to do about it

they yelled at each other for a while after the guy accidentally bumped the seated woman

finally:
him: fuck you!
her: no one would fuck you, you're too old!

that was the last straw. he wobbled over and grabbed her

I just went over and stood between them so they couldn't really reach each other and he left

Did I tell y'all about the time I broke up a fight between two eighty-year olds on the bus? Public transit is a good time

Morning bus fun:
Her: hey, you! What do you do for a living? What did your mom tell you to do with your life? Tackling bears?
Me: ?
Her: *gestures up and down at me like that explains the q* Do you tackle bears for a living? What do you do?
Me: I tackle bears
Her: Lions?
Me: Yep, lions too. Grew up in the north, sometimes tackled moose
Her: Really!?
Me: No
Her: You're urban! Ha ha.
Me: It's true, I'm out of practice w moose
Her: How do I get to the college?
Me: That way. But look out for bears.

To the woman on the bus with four different plush narwhals dangling off your backpack: 😍😍😍🦄🐳

Her: I like the way you did the red around your eyes!
Me: uh...

I'd also love to write a play-by-post or play-by-email RPG game with y'all

I'm also a switch at GMing RPGs tho

custom birdsite emojis for brands are so gross
