I’m proposing a Liberal Lexicon, the opposite of the Urban Dictionary. UD turned vernacular phrases into definitional ones. LL dresses up the vernaculars for polite company. This is Rent the Runway for language, folks! Instead of an ironic relationship with clothes, it’s words that we obscure.

Have an attachment to your testicles? I don’t, anymore. Orchiectomy: done. Probably one of the least painful procedures I’ve ever had. Total pills: 1 advil. I prioritized orchi for my transition, and all I have is deep love for all the medical professionals who made it happen. #deeplygrateful

MTF top surgery? Done. I went from a 38AA to 38C overnight. I couldn’t be happier. My body just felt like mine finally. This is one of the many ways in which cis and trans women have different experiences, even as we care for one another. That said, I need advice on bra/swimsuit fitting 😭

Scenes from an early morning in my house: Currently rubbing a lime wedge on my neck because I got caustic lye on my hand and itched myself. H3O(+) + OH(-) ➡️ water + salt. Making bagels.

My spouse bought me laser hair removal for my birthday 😍Now when someone asks why I transitioned, I have an answer ready to go: to save money on shaving supplies. Think about it. $$ for keeping a beard at bay your whole life vs. $$ for nipping the problem in the proverbial bud?

The best way to pass is not to meet some imposed societal standard, but to surround yourself with people who accept you for who you are, and love you for who you want to be.

Some deep thoughts on Gillian Anderson this eve — my template for beauty, grace, and smarts. Consider this a love letter to the persona that cracked my egg, and to the person behind the mask, who is helping me perform my best self. /1

Here’s your periodic reminder that “personal carbon footprint,” including all those calculation exercises now taught in schools, came from a 2005 BP media campaign. They wanted to deflect responsibility for climate change to the consumer — taking ownership for nothing other than the profits.

Today I discovered that it is possible to drink coffee while in the shower, which is nothing short of life-changing for my morning routine.

There’s a lot to like about the the Last of Us, but I esp like the image of the queer/nonbinary survivor at the end of the world. It’s a non-natalist resolution. Ellie is surrounded by new growth, even as the punishing hetero-patriarchal world collapses around them. Hopeful.

Jamie is historically gender neutral and means “s/he who supplants”. It happens to have the same initial as my deadname which was all about leadership, blah blah.

I feel light & powerful today. I know myself better than ever, & might even like the person I am becoming. First time ever. But I am not done. I will use this confidence & privilege to be the fiercest fucking advocate my Uni has ever seen. Know thyself, be yourself, & the rest follows.
