Yeah a combination of dysphoria-related depersonalization/unwillingness to engage with my body, executive functioning issues/severe depression, and not seeing the point because I wasn't going to be around long has done a number on my teeth unfortunately

Every trans person deserves to get old enough to be glad they took care of their teeth

I definitely had the whole foreshortened sense of future thing for most of my life and now I'm forty one and I really never expected to get here. I wish I'd taken better care of my teeth.

Hooooooooly shit! Oh my goodness! I drove like an absolute maniac in high school, I'm lucky I didn't kill someone, and some years ago I became extremely cautious and I had not made a connection but I think this might be me too (although man instead of woman in my case).

It’s fine to see something and think “Carville may have a point”, but you gotta push through it because he never does.

I think it's w i l d for them to claim that talking about men who have abortions is centering cis men. I would say cis men are not really the men in question here! The person responding is actually the one making this about cis men! Really something.

Ooooh didn't realize this was a thing but now that I reflect yeah I see it, I love learning about culinary shibboleths of this type!

I was coming in to mention the same book, my second grade teacher read this to us and I (Episcopalian) really liked it.

Oh yes it definitely does she's just so weird

She doesn't EXACTLY name them after you, though, does she? Because she doesn't call them "Father" or "Roarbert", she calls them "Dave". I mean she also calls you "Dave" but like what a peculiar child.
