Remember puberty blockers are not the end goal. They are a compromise, to allow trans kids more time before puberty starts to decide *which* puberty should start
That's a useful tool, but the trial this govt has tied their ban to is testing if they do something else

So... has anyone else noticed that the social media preview image NZ First used on their press release about banning puberty blockers for trans children is AI slop?
I had a funny feeling about it since I first saw it, but it's much clearer once you zoom in. What a horrid timeline we live in

Milo and Cass are three years old today. This time of year always has a lot of feelings
I'm trying my best to nurture the good feelings, I don't like how oppressive these two months have felt for me for years. I've had some success with that, but fuck
Not today, eh. Today just sucked

Combination of needing to recharge after a super social four days around Kawaiicon and some asshole waking me up with a volley of fireworks at 2:30am, I've been pretty exhausted today. Hopefully tomorrow is better

Over the weekend I came out to three of my high school friends, who I hadn't seen in a while
It went super well! Big confidence boost. My first ex was very excited for me 🥰
I'm still waiting for just one person to be weird about it, but it hasn't happened

This card never fails to fuck someone up the first time they see it, there's really nothing else like it
This effect kills so many auras, abilities, and combat tricks, and it often lets my own creatures waltz right through unblocked in the deck that's built for doing exactly that

If you've seen me on here less, it's because I'm trying to be online less. It eats up time but doesn't make me happy
And also I personally find that during any sort of an election is always a particularly miserable time to be on here

Made the mistake of searching for Media Council rulings about RNZ to look for the decision to uphold a complaint about Ruth Hill's coverage of a trans man's death
Recognised a TERF's name, clicked. The Media Council seems poorly equipped to handle this topic, I'm glad they upheld the Hill complaint

I really miss Gizmo tonight. Found some old printed instructions from when I was tube feeding him, it's made me think a lot of those last hard weeks. How he was getting better before the end. How he deserved so much more time 💔
I hate that I never talk about him. How can you know me but not him?

I hate it but I've deleted this post. Annoying Americans who don't know me keep liking it no matter how many I block and I don't want to wake up to a ton of worthless notifications
This sucks. Also why the fuck would someone "save" this please just be normal about me instead
