Here to figure out if this is who I am. Amab, maybe transfem, definitely nonbinary, no transition so far. 40s, married, otherwise pretty unremarkable.

James Cameron stayed at the hotel I worked at in OKC a few times a year because his wife is from the city and he was a gigantic prick every single time. Treated all the workers like shit, never tipped, etc.
I am of the opinion that how a person treats service workers tells you who they really are.

I don't think this current upswell of "sacrifice trans people," with zero regard for how that harms the freedom of self-expression for everyone, is organic.

OMG voice therapy wasn't just good this week, it was STELLAR.
I have a new practice method! Basically I warm up by going into extreme chipmunk voice, then take a breath, and let that pause smooth off the edges.
It gets me RIGHT where I want for at least a few words. RELIABLY.
This is huge for me.

Something to keep in mind.
I cannot fault anyone for using GoodRx. There’s no healthcare in this country. I’m asking y’all to weigh the risk v reward & move as you see fit.
GoodRx collects every bit of your data and will sell it to literally anyone. You and your medical data are the product.

Yes! They cover the testosterone gel and also shots (which are even cheaper). And it's not like insurance where you have to beg for them to approve it. They don't approve or deny anything. No gatekeepers. Just help with payment. Costs nothing to use.

I have been spending the better part of this year making hard copies of media that I love that are only available digitally (I buy official releases if they've got em) and cannot recommend folks do that enough. It's easier than you think and great for personal archives of Important Things

… do they get that 100 is the average? Like… if everyone does better, 100 shifts to fit?
Never mind that iq is dumb bullshit. They STILL don’t get it.

The visual of a car with a severed while head on top, leaking juices into the car and trailing behind it, with an entire family of people wearing plastic bags with mouth holes cut out is more unsettling than most horror movies
