Time to update my pinned post!

Everything I said is still true, with one change: I love my *spouse* and *they* make me happy.

And I still love them so much 💖🫠🥰😢🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

(P.S. I can't wait to see them in a fancy tailored suit 🥹)
HRT does more than help your body reflect your self. It helps your mind, too! I love my wife and have always known she makes me happy, but now I can *feel* all of that happiness in the moment.

I actually feel alive now

And I love her so much 💖🫠🥰😢
Nostalgic trips as a trans woman are really, really unpleasant. I am gonna go curl up into a ball and cry myself to sleep.

I went digging through a very old box of things from my elementary to high school years. I was looking for a specific item (found it!) but wow I regret doing that.

Dysphoria is the alt-right movement inside our own heads. Angry, hateful, and serves no purpose except to make life worse.

Ok, maybe being seen by others is something I should take a little slower.

I don't think I was ready for that reaction.

Alright, this is apparently accurate
This chart has had one of my Discord servers occupied for the last hour straight.

Accordingly, I have been labelled "Muscle/Ditz"

(I've also been told my mega evolution would be "Muscle/Glam" and was compared to Scorpia. I understand *none* of this. Ditz applies)
Muscle/Goth type

Video games no longer seem to hold my attention. Is it me? It's me, isn't it?

Age verification?

I owned an accoustic coupler to dial the BBS.
Age verification?

"No! Don't pick up the phone! I'm in the middle of downlo....... Fuck!"
Age verification?

I used to make separate 5.25" floppy boot disks to launch each of my DOS games because 640k of RAM was not enough

Extremely proud to announce that I was reappointed today by Gov. Whitmer to the Library of Michigan Board of Trustees. With my new term, I will serve through October 2029 into the next administration.

I'm very thankful to the Governor and her administration for the honor of appointing me twice.

The desire to just uproot, leave the job behind and roam is getting stronger.

Except I am married, have pets, and need reliable medical care

This whole thread feels like a finger pointed at me
What an employer sees is an autistic employee exhibiting symptoms of burnout.

What they don't see is that the autistic employee is doing the job of 4 people without being paid to do it, and without any of the structures that those jobs usually have.
What the employer doesn't see is the autistic person doing 4 people's jobs.

What they *do* see is a person who has been insubordinate too many times for asking questions about the task, etc.

A full-faced mask in some kind of waterproof material that has a chamber at the bottom for a mug of tea to steam my face and sinuses. Is this a thing?

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

It had better not be DNS again.

“Alright, let's go over to the computer and you can show me what happened."

No new pictures.
Where are you at mentally?

It's so very strange that I need to pull my hair back behind my ears now. This is definitely a first

It's so much fun to filter for your size on a shoe website and have it *switch the category* to sneakers before giving 5 results.

The clinic I need to go to next week has my deadname in their portal. Which I can't update. Which doesn't match my insurance. Which means I can't update that, either. Which they can't update over the phone. Which means they also can't tell me if I 'm covered next week, *before* get there.

So tired of hearing about "purity tests" from straight white people whose lives will not change one single bit, regardless of who is president.
