    trying to alternate which leg i do my injections in. unfortunately my dumb ass can’t actually remember which one i did last week so actually i’m just guessing

    • One option would be to make a reminder on your calendar scheduled to reoccur every 4 weeks for left and another for right. We can never remember where my brother got his last shot either (not HRT). Nor does he remember how long its been since his last one, so we just guess on that too.

    A little late but had a good Mother’s Day; got messages from my siblings and parents, Dad apologized for last year (father’s fay instead of mother’s), went for a walk around town. Also got my HRT refill.

    In other news, still no update regarding SRS… 😣

    I recently remembered in high school that a friend of mine gave me (and no one else) a 4 CD “mix tape” with hand drawn art. They’re now a trans woman. But wait I think, they’re exclusively lesbian. And then I look at what I’ve got going on now and was like “oh, yeah I guess that also makes sense”.

          I'm putting this behind spoiler tags cause it can trigger others' dysphoria

          Yeah. It’s one of those things that just hurts. No matter what I do in life, I will never be able to experience what it’s like growing up. And you know what? It fucking sucks.

          The other thing that gets me real badly? Knowing that I’ll never be able to experience motherhood. Seeing someone with their child just kills me. I’ll never be able to raise a kid of my own. I’ll never be able to experience pregnancy. And that fucking sucks too. Sure I guess I could adopt, but like, it’s horrendously expensive and the laws aren’t exactly friendly towards same sex/trans couples. Add on that I’m in my mid-30s and that shit ain’t ever happening. Fucking hells.

          I’m gonna go drown my sorrows now.

            Sure I guess I could adopt, but like, it’s horrendously expensive and the laws aren’t exactly friendly towards same sex/trans couples. Add on that I’m in my mid-30s and that shit ain’t ever happening. Fucking hells.

            Hopefully you can get there anyways.

            There’s definitely a bias against LGBT+ couples and non-biological parents. I know my mom had to go through a lot with us. Her wife-at-the-time gave birth to us via IVF, so no adoption needed and they still had to go through a ton to prove they’re “deserving” to be parents where other parents don’t have to do anything except be fertile and have sex to prove they’re parent-material. Things like income, showing they had a house already prepared for a child (before they’d even attempt IVF), etc. Fortunately, she was able to get custody of us (100%, not split) when there was a custody/divorce case, but like even her dad was telling her he’d traffic us to Mexico and raise us there cause there’s no way a Texas court would side in her favor (she had already lost a child to a biological parent, but she didn’t even have formal custody rights - she was just the one who raised the child for years when the parents decided to abandon her or something - idk my mom doesn’t talk about it). But she never gave up. I don’t think you should yet either.

              Thank you. I appreciate it. It isn’t something I want to give up on, but my circumstances are heavily against it. Trans, lesbian, and poly. It’s unlikely the state would ever allow it. Guess we will see what happens when we stabilize financially.

    Day two of pill cutter gang in which I take 12.5mg of cypro, down from 25. Will probably reduce dosage again sometime although cuttng those tablets gets kinda silly…

    I really like the idea that I can take miniscule amounts of cypro and just vibe. It sounds good to me.

    bitching

    Uh it would be gooder if I could just not take antiandrogens, one of the only things I hate about being trans is the medicinal reliance. It’s fine realistically, day to day, but it worries me, anxiety. Diy orchiechtomy when? Taking a gram of cypro to stop testosterone production wholesale when???

    I know I posted a few months back abt the person I was thinking about breaking up with and we did end up doing so since it was becoming more apparent we were going to be on different tracks in life. We’re still close friends though, and we continue to have a good time in my tabletop game trans-heart

    dysphoria/weight/ed posting

    Holy shit I need to lose weight agony-shivering I feel so fat and terrible. The past like day and a half has been so good and now I’m crying out of no where. I just feel so big.

    Honestly I don’t even know how to lose weight “properly”. I mean I know like, eat right and that shit but like how am I actually going to do it sadness I don’t even know what my target weight should be. If I ever commit to it I’m just going to end up starving myself again. I just want to be thin and flat like a board. I just keep eating too much kitty-cri Why I am so fucking large.

    (just to clarify my tone, I’m not necessarily asking for weight loss advice. You can still post it if you want but I’m really just venting)

    Whenever hutterite or Mennonite (whichever) women come in with their day surgery kids they always ask me if I’m married or have children, it’s kinda cute. They didn’t before when I passed TERRIBLY.
