It's very inconsiderate how the rest/replenishment demanded by puberty 2.0 doesn't care about all the demands a working mother and wife has on her time. <passes out>

So weird how this time last year I was trying to come out to one friend/family a day, each one anchoring my new identity as a woman that much more, making it feel more real to me and giving me a sense of control and progress. And today I am washing off body glitter.

Hey. When someone brings up a book, do not reply with internet archive links to that book. That makes you a giant asshole. Libraries exist. Lots of them have provisions for people without service in their area. You can even read lots of books electronically through a library.

The only nice thing about discovering new parts of myself that ping my dysphoria is that *usually* it only happens because I've started to get a handle on it elsewhere. And *sometimes* I'm even able to go 'This didn't used to bother you. It doesn't have to bother you. Pull your head out your ass'

100% this. Remember that every damned thing you do to gum up the works, however small, feels like this to them. You don’t have to stand and fight. You can interfere, disrupt, slow down, and then walk away once the cost gets too high. Enough people doing that may matter MORE.

Well, a day of appointments and socializing, followed by a day of prep for socializing (and socializing), capped off with being up too late and getting poor sleep means I called sick and slept for another 5 hours today. Good morning!

Just articulated a core element of my worldview rather well: "I'm honestly not much one for the theorizing, just trying to get on with things and help folk"

She reaches up to cup my cheek and gently caress my jaw (been a hard night), and I lean into her hand. We stay like that for a minute, before she gently moves her hand away... I move my head to follow it, not allowing it to break contact with her hand. This continues until we both start laughing.

Oh shit. My old aesthetician is taking clients again. This is the woman who gave me some of my first gender affirming care, way back in 2021, when I finally got up the nerve to start getting waxed. She was one of the first people I came out to last year. I am so jazzed to see her again!
