I tinker and make things. I used to have one of those "if you find this in my profile and get it to the front page" things, but now it's gone. Sorry.
I feel like "itty bitty" isn't an apt description here. I'm quite jealous of your... erm... endowments. ๐
A big part of the problem is that vaccines have been _too_ effective. The vast majority of people have no concept of how fragile life used to be. The "you're not stronger than a virus" doesn't land because they didn't live through a time when 25% of people didn't even survive childhood. They think they're safe from serious disease without actually understanding why.
Voice training is genuinely the hardest fucking thing I've ever tried to learn. That includes both software engineering and combat medicine.
What makes you think he's trying? The constant on-again, off-again is making him and his cronies boatloads of cash on the oil market.
Bill sounds pretty good to me so far.

I wish I could have as much confidence in myself as she has in that top.
The journey varies for everyone. Just gotta take it and see what the lottery holds for you. And, despite what Reddit might try to tell you, you're never too old to start.
Right. That's why they have no intention of letting him (or his ideologically aligned replacement) leave power ever again.
I had that same concern going in. But, really, just be honest about what your transition goals are. Any clinic providing GAHT is there to help you, not dismiss you. Hell, when I started HRT, I didn't even identify as fully trans yet -- just non-binary/gender-fluid. They still helped me get started without any issues at all.
It's a little bit different for us, because they have to check both estrogen and testosterone levels. Blood test is every 3-6 months until it's roughly stable in the right range. (Though even that is a bit flexible and depends on symptoms and progress.)
Congrats! It's a long, slow process, but it also kinda flies by. I'm about 11 months in, and I'm often surprised by the woman I see in the mirror. ๐
There can *also* be cake. Fuck fact: as an adult, you can buy or make a cake whenever you want. It's not even illegal.
"No, see, that's why I'm transitioning. So I *don't* have that."
Our representatives are _supposed_ to be adults with functional reasoning ability. If they can't even sort _that_ out, then our government has no hope of functioning.
The fact that _totally unrelated_ bills can be attached to each other is so fuckin' stupid. But, of course, they won't change the rules to prevent it, because it's so politically useful.... our system is so hopelessly broken. :(
Worth it for the results, though. No question.
Laser hair removal on my face was_easily_ one of the most painful things I've experienced. Each session hurt less than the one before, though, and it's not so bad now. Really not looking forward to following up with electrolysis for the white hairs. :'(
Plus a tenth again gets even closer. 3.5 plus 0.35, then round up for the last little bit... call it 3.9ish.
I bet that's nerve wracking to do, but it looks like a blast.
Who freakin' knows. Hell, folks can barely even agree on whether progesterone is even beneficial. ๐There's so little science done in the field that it's hard to say anything about anything with confidence.

It's a bit of a lottery too. Some do, some don't. (So far) I've been one of the lucky ones with no noticeable cycle. But that can also chanfe over time. Aren't bodies weird??
He says enough real bullshit, lets not dilute the truth by spreading fake bullshit.
Mfer, my body barely knows what to do with real dopamine. What makes you think it knows shit about garlic "medicine" ?
Oh, good. I'm glad that my insurance company has record profits. It's comforting to know that my denied claim was in service of the greater good!
No. Decidedly not. But still a gun-owner. ๐
As a trans woman who owns guns, I think you've got an overly narrow view of gun owners. ;)
There's a very tiny band at the inside and outside of each ring. That's the only thing that changes, and gives the illusion of motion. Kinda neat, actually!
Heh. I almost ordered that exact skirt!
