One of the most interesting bits of my transition was the realization I was bonding with my mom over height. We're both 5'11.
And it's a comforting thing to bond over - - and to remember - - every time I'm tallest woman in the room.
I am beyond lucky in my parents.

And taking someone else's work and feeding it to an LLM without their permission is theft--and the exact reason that creatives *loathe* LLMs in the first place.

For Transgender Day of Remembrance this year, please remember why we grieve. Our sadness is one of the most important biological adaptations that humans have evolved.
Because it drives us to seek each other out.
We mourn so we can come together and become strong again in community.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

The part we far too often don't talk about when we finally get the gender-affirming surgeries that we need is how hard recovery is--and I don't mean the physical stuff. Today, on Stained Glass Woman, we're looking at The Other Recovery.

So I went out last night in this lovely calf length gray wool skirt and black boots over fleece lined tights, and a black top and coat.
I feel very Pratchett Witch and I quite liked it.
I try to take Granny to heart, and be sure in my soul I'm the most terrifying person in the dark forest...

Okay, random progesterone question. Is there any reason that starting progesterone would result in my middle aged self suddenly waking up in the morning without the stiff and sore muscles and occasional aching joints I'm used to?

Currently my chest is cheerfully sitting right in between cup and band sizes.
The band can be managed (extenders for instance) but how the heck am I getting quad boob in one cup size and drowning in the next cup size up?
Properly fitting bras are a dark dark art.

so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):
many ppl highlighting flaws in this article. but having fought in the "80% desistance" wars of the mid-2010s, I remember asking anti-trans activists if they'd be ok if 80% of youth were helped by gender-affirming care (flipping their argument). & they *never* answered. b/c they want *zero* trans ppl

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum.
This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

A recent study found that children who transitioned young retained stable gender identities over time. But the fact that nearly a fifth of those in the group did not ought to give advocates of irreversible medical interventions pause
How stable are the gender identities of younger children?
