kinda depressing trans related thoughtsMan... sure does seem to be difficult to get people onboard with the idea that anyone under 18 should have the right to determine their gender and do anything medical at all about it doomer Obviously in western nations there's this ridiculous perception of one's children as property, as a mini-version of the parent subject to their whims, to live vicariously through, as a prestige item. I swear to fuckin god death to amerikkka, chuds keep saying The West Has Fallen, like god I wish.

But also just in general I think there's a lot of resistance to the idea that kids should be allowed to do anything. The anecdote the one gradder shared of some 27-year-old exchange student needing parental signoff blows my fucking mind. Granted, maybe that type of thing is less of an issue when parents are less dogshit, but Idk. It does not bring me joy.

Posting to make up for downtime. We need to get to 600 this time.

It's been 8 months since I changed my pronouns what. I thought I had only been thinking about trans stuff for 4 months.

"LGBT Rights in ___" summary tables on Wikipedia will literally say "Equal age of consent โœ…/โŒโ€ but not "Equal age of puberty โœ…/โŒ" Intriguing!

Shoutout to the voices, no one is suspicious of me saying nonsense while voice training because I already say nonsense with weird voices all the time.

complaining about my therapist, detrans, generally not really believing meThe cw kind of sums it all up but this week's session really didn't make me feel better about them. They brought up detrans people and how important it was to make sure before doing anything (I mean I guess?). Talked about how many of their clients stopped after two weeks. They talked about how I never ha e really put effort into how I look and should try that more before deciding to transition.

Another big thing they brought up was influence, as if I was being influenced into being trans. They talked about that for a little while.

I'm sure they said some affirming stuff too, like about how small things can be really helpful (like plushies/nails).

I don't know. I'm so insecure in my identity already I just wish they weren't like this. I know some of it seems really bad but this is how they are about other things too, just likes to explore all the options I guess.

And yes I'm pretty stuck with this one, at least for now. It just really sucks this is the best I have irl (I know having a therapist at all is a huge privilege but I do wish I had some trans/ally friends)

Rad Pride is this Saturday. Half excited to go to a Pride Thing for the first time in like a decade, half nervous because apparently this has historically been a very anti-communist event and I'll be going to represent my party.

catastrophizing about workI'm really stressed about my job. I like my job, and I like the work. But I'm worried about the future when it becomes hard to ignore my transition. Its not a big place, there is only 15 of us. More than half are boomers who will be retiring in the next few years. Most of the rest of my coworkers are your standard variety Gen x Cartman wannabe types. But a few are really cool and probably won't be a problem. Both my foreman and the big boss really like me. I'm super productive compared to the boomers and I know things no one else does.

But the work culture is shitty blue collar in a shitty Midwestern state. 80% of the work I do, I am in the field and alone for, but I do have to spend time at the shop. The city where work is located has some really strong anti-discrimination laws and they can't just fire me. Especially since I've had nothing but exemplary reviews every 6 months for the last 3 years. I'm outside of my apprenticeship, I'm outside of any probationary time.

I guess I really don't want to be a target and I really don't want to get fired. Sure, I'm positive I'd win the lawsuit if I got fired but still I am stressed about the potential stress of it. madeline-scared

I posted the other day about presenting femme in public, forgetting, and then catching myself in the mirror for a great surprise.

Well, the opposite just happened. I hade to take off my nail polish, and I looked down at my feet just now, and I'm like, "whose fucking feet are those!?"

finally got around to having blood work done again to check my levels, I feel like they're pretty low for my last dose to be 1 week ago.

Anyway I asked my endo to (officially) up my dosage frequency from once every two weeks to at least once a week, and I also asked him if we could up my dose (4mg).

He agreed to increase my frequency but not my dose.

I didn't tell him i'd already switched to once a week but now I'm trying to convince him to up my dose as well, hopefully he agrees otherwise I'm going to have to awkwardly tell him I'd been doing once a week doses for the last 1.5 months.

edit: nevermind he responded quickly basically saying not for 3-4 weeks at least, and if my levels don't improve i'll have to go in to get shots instead of doing it at home (which i hate because I have to make time away from work).

More moderate cognitohazardsPaul Takes The Form Of A Mortal Girl is doing a bit. It's trying to get me to deem it an egg story, to pidgeonhole Paul as a trans woman (he was assigned male at birth) and declare it all to be an egg thing. But yo, what the fuck? He lived full-time as a woman with his terf gf Diane and when he lost that he got miserable... so he goes back to being a guy (nominally) and having casual sex again. While he is miserable about this state of affairs, he's also extremely detached, knows he can get anything from his waiter whom he's fucking with "his lost boy routine". Idk who Paul is or what he wants. He just seems to move through whatever situations or relationships and meld his dumb ass to whoever he currently likes or fucks.

thonk-trans Fuckin'... despite being able to change literally every permutation of his body to match any gender presentation, Paul is still hopelessly detached and can only use his shifting as a shield, or to blend with someone. Left to his own devices, he just falls back on whatever is easiest... huh...

I am at like 60% and this might still be beyond me to comprehend, which doesn't feel good. Almost desperate enough to consult Goodreads reviews, but given all the stuff I'm pretty sure the reviews will be unfunny.

Got around to watching I Saw the TV Glow on Saturday night.

I loved the movie, but like it wasn't as emotionally devastating as I'd hoped it would be. Maybe I'm just busted? Idk like I definitely connected with the film on a lot of its parts/aspects. There were even certain parts of the film where I already knew what the main character was going to say before it was said.

spoilerThe part on the bleachers where Tera/Maddy was asking Isabel about her sexuality hit a little too close and I literally answered "I don't know" out loud before Isabel did.


Idk maybe I'm more emotionally locked up than I thought or maybe my expectations were too high or maybe I was just too ready to be analytical instead of just taking the movie as it comes.

I'll re-watch it again, probably soon. I'll definitely remember it as one of my favorite movies, I identify far too personally with the text for it to not be; I just wanted to share the connection with it that many trans people are saying they felt with it, and I'm a little disheartened that I feel like I didn't connect in the same way that some people did.

Dumb question for the femmes, do men (that you don't previously know) often engage in small talk or friendly convos for platonic reasons or is it usually flirting? I've only been with queer ppl previously and the hetero world is bizarre to me

Just finished my second individual session 0 with my group for Pathfinder. So far, two successes out of two sessions. Getting pretty big compliments from the two people I've run for thus far and it feels awesome. They're having fun and I hope that session 1 goes just as great for everyone. And I must say, I'm having a great time thus far DMing. It's fantastic.

Went to a filmshowing that was advertised as being organised by one of the local queer groups. Well, very few people were there, but the film was ok. Later managed to talk with an organizer, and found out that none of the 3 local groups do anything for trans people.

He even said, that he was ""too old"(he was like 35) for the topic, and that the biggest community (from like 1970) is "certainly" not helpful for me.

So it seems like the local organizers treat trans-issues as a modern phenomen, and that the biggest and oldest queer org, looks to be some conservative "LGB" bullshit.

Also the city council is deeply reactionary, from what I've heard, doing everything short of outright illegalizing pride, to keep it from being organized.

I got the number of a local transwoman of him though, and I will try to contact her to actually get somewhere.
