I’m proposing a Liberal Lexicon, the opposite of the Urban Dictionary.
UD turned vernacular phrases into definitional ones. LL dresses up the vernaculars for polite company.
This is Rent the Runway for language, folks! Instead of an ironic relationship with clothes, it’s words that we obscure.

Have an attachment to your testicles? I don’t, anymore.
Orchiectomy: done. Probably one of the least painful procedures I’ve ever had. Total pills: 1 advil.
I prioritized orchi for my transition, and all I have is deep love for all the medical professionals who made it happen. #deeplygrateful

MTF top surgery? Done.
I went from a 38AA to 38C overnight. I couldn’t be happier. My body just felt like mine finally. This is one of the many ways in which cis and trans women have different experiences, even as we care for one another.
That said, I need advice on bra/swimsuit fitting 😭

Scenes from an early morning in my house:
Currently rubbing a lime wedge on my neck because I got caustic lye on my hand and itched myself. H3O(+) + OH(-) ➡️ water + salt.
Making bagels.

My spouse bought me laser hair removal for my birthday 😍Now when someone asks why I transitioned, I have an answer ready to go: to save money on shaving supplies.
Think about it. $$ for keeping a beard at bay your whole life vs. $$ for nipping the problem in the proverbial bud?

The best way to pass is not to meet some imposed societal standard, but to surround yourself with people who accept you for who you are, and love you for who you want to be.

Some deep thoughts on Gillian Anderson this eve — my template for beauty, grace, and smarts.
Consider this a love letter to the persona that cracked my egg, and to the person behind the mask, who is helping me perform my best self. /1

Here’s your periodic reminder that “personal carbon footprint,” including all those calculation exercises now taught in schools, came from a 2005 BP media campaign.
They wanted to deflect responsibility for climate change to the consumer — taking ownership for nothing other than the profits.

Today I discovered that it is possible to drink coffee while in the shower, which is nothing short of life-changing for my morning routine.

There’s a lot to like about the the Last of Us, but I esp like the image of the queer/nonbinary survivor at the end of the world.
It’s a non-natalist resolution. Ellie is surrounded by new growth, even as the punishing hetero-patriarchal world collapses around them. Hopeful.

Jamie is historically gender neutral and means “s/he who supplants”. It happens to have the same initial as my deadname which was all about leadership, blah blah.

I feel light & powerful today.
I know myself better than ever, & might even like the person I am becoming. First time ever.
But I am not done. I will use this confidence & privilege to be the fiercest fucking advocate my Uni has ever seen.
Know thyself, be yourself, & the rest follows.

I’ve been wondering, lately, why trans and trans and gay people seem to be so troublesome for those who are also suddenly concerned about black people and childhood education.
Here are some thoughts why, taken as a whole, they make a nonsensical sort of sense.

I’ve been thinking about Fran, lately, the director/lesbian matriarch of the LGBT office where I went to uni & where I was once the cis-straight “ally” president of the student group (retrospect: LOL). She passed, tragically, but I think I would have made her proud. I also really need her hugs now 😢

Just realized something important! Dis/agree, don’t care!
So focused on identity, I somehow forgot that so much of “myself” was in the entanglements with the world outside me.
I am a much better person since my egg cracked. How I think, emote, relate, etc.
You HAVE to let this person grow.

I love the blocklist subscription feature on BlueSky. So much that I started imagining what something similar would look like in RL.
That’s when I realized that, as always, Black Mirror already thought of it. Good episode, that Jon Hamm xmas special.

THREAD - Quick reminder that the idea of 2 sexes, 2 genders, & 2 sexual orientations is recent and far from universal. Not even in "the West." So in an attempt to respond the universalism of she-who-shall-not-be-named, here’s a longish thread about London, England. Take it for what you will. 1/

And now is when I port my very small bit of content from T to Blue. It’s all writing, and not particularly good writing, if anyone was asking.
Side note - T to Blue is also how I conceptualize HRT, go figure!
