Anyone thinking of deleting their Facebook account since we are now sitting ducks there as well? Or are you less likely because accounts can be locked down more there?

I WISH

I wish we'd been handed something tidier,
something easier to sort out.
This cannot be sorted.

Here, despair and joy breathe the same air
while beauty and horror occupy a single seat
and dread dances with hope.
That's just the way it is.

Was going through some old X stuff and saw this and it seemed even more fitting now.

To the woman getting dialysis today who was upset so I listened, who was crying so I wiped away your tears, whose nose was running so I… helped get your hands free so you could blow your own nose… would my compassion and caring have really meant any less to you if you knew I was trans?

I’ve decided I’m not going to let them take my joy away. Sure I may struggle at times, but I’m not going to let them keep it.

Big words. Now how do I actually go about living this?

It’s interesting how many times I am starting to see “Jesus follower” or “Christ follower” as opposed to Christian. And also, I TOTALLY get it!!

It feels like the difference between TransTwitter and BlueSky is on Twitter somehow people seemed to see my posts and reply and here they do not. Kind of makes posting or asking questions feel less worth it.

also yeah, shitty day

What a great start… 32 anti-trans bills in Texas on the first day of filing and a new bill to welcome the first trans congresswoman by banning her from the right bathroom.

I think we should knock down the stupid wall before more writing appears on it!!!

Anyone else remember their voice starting to change at puberty and morning the loss of being able to scream like a girl but not understanding why?

This seems so very very much appropriate these days

For those of you who may have followed me on TransTwitter and are familiar with the frame in the past with my wife and us figuring things out, you will be happy to know we celebrated our 20th anniversary yesterday. We had a great week+ diving and hanging out around the pool in Roatan.

Anyone considering leaving the US given recent current events?

If you’re in the maybe camp, what would need to happen to push you to actually leave?

I don’t want to leave. It’s my country too and I just want to be able to live and work and pay my taxes in peace!

What should my breaking point be?

How did the Jewish people who left know it was time to leave everything in their lives behind and leave?

So I’m going to have a several hour layover in Miami coming up. Do I try to remain dehydrated? Look for family bathrooms? Insert a urinary foley?

Any survival tips welcomed

Just a reminder, in general, and especially in these trying times, check in on your “strong” friends and family too ❣️

Anyone else distancing themselves from an otherwise close family member(s) because they are pro-Trump?

How are you handling it? I go back and forth between anger, disappointment, hurt over how they could vote for someone who wants to hurt me, and flat out disbelief. 💔

Seems like there is some momentum of people shifting to Bluesky lately - big surprise giving the final gutting of X.

Finally went through and found some of my old contacts and can I just say how lovely it was to see some familiar faces on my feed this morning 🩷💜🩵

Though so many are still lost 😢

So this happened a couple years ago 🤦🏻‍♀️

Work Physical:

Doc: I see your are on some hormones, is it birth control?
Me: I’m on HRT
Doc: Is it for your ovaries?
Me: I’m transgender
Doc: Ok, but is it for your ovaries?
Me: I’m TRANSGENDER so I take it for that.🤦🏻‍♀️
Doc: So it’s for the ovaries.
Me: 🤷🏻‍♀️Sure

So who thinks single-occupancy, gender-neutral bathrooms are a good thing?

I like the theory behind it, but not the wet seat from some person who stood to pee with bad aim and poor consideration for others.

Is it still gender neutral and not dysphoria inducing if it has a urinal for that bunch?
