Do I have to finish Gender Outlaw? Thereβs some valuable stuff but the theater chapter was boring as hell. Iβve tried to like theater. I know itβs my call, but are my emotions tricking me or has the valuable portion elapsed? (Iβm chapter 15) 
This is a regular pattern where I get into something and make my way like 2/3rds through and then Iβm like βitβs not over yet? Cmon!β I just lose the motivation at a certain point (ADHD). In this case I feel like it got boring-er, but maybe itβs just that?
If you're struggling with pictures of yourself, try using a mirror and zoom in 4x, better if you force your phone to use a telephoto lens if you have it
I always wondered why my selfies looked different than what I saw in the mirror, this helped a lot π
If I have two vials of estradiol and one is kind of low is it fine to pour it into the other vial?
I read ftw the other day and have been collecting my thoughts since and trying to figure out what I wanted to say about it.
cw for sex, and possibly tmi (hopefully not though)
I should start off this by explaining where I'm coming from. I had never read any queer lit. Never in school, and not since. Sure I've picked up things from people sharing their experiences, but that's not quite the same is it? I have also been worried about getting into a relationship, especially because of sex. Oh and I'm also apparently trans 
so that adds onto the complexity, or at least what I perceive to be complex.
I was surprised how much I felt like I related to her experiences. I mean, she's trans and I think I am too, but I feel very different from other trans people. I thought most of what I'd get out of this read was better understanding how other trans people work, which would obviously make me feel more comfortable if I ended up in a t4t relationship. But no, it was very helpful for me personally too.
I'm not going to go into any detail, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading the whole thing. Very informative, just the first few pages of anatomy was more then I got from school. I had not considered a lot of what she talks about.
One thing that really stuck out and hurt was her talking about touch on page 46. Just wanting to be touched and people not wanting to, presumably because she's trans. That just sucks, and I feel it. Fortunately I already don't get touched much so nothing will change 
One of the things she mentions is that maybe her partners/others don't want to cause dysphoria or something? So I'll have to remember to be clear that I want to be touched damn it.
Oh also early on (page 19/20) she talks about how you should only muff with fingers and holy hell would someone try and put their dick there? That caught me off guard a little bit. Anyway next on the docket is the gender accelerationist manifesto.
I wanna play Transgender Viddy Games :( I did not get in with the trans agenda DEI cabal to be betrayed like this
Man, he wiggles when he walks, and he wanted it to stop because his superficial smile, it got everybody up 
Hello trans comrades! I've been feeling pretty weird and loopy since getting on new meds so I haven't been checking the mega much. It's been five days since I've posted any cool songs so today I'll be posting five of them 
Also I won't be trying to do gender connections to the songs from now on, but I still want to talk about music.
Moss Covered Ruin by Visitor β techno. It has a pretty slow beginning but the song really builds from there. Perfect music to put on for walking past some brutalist architecture.
Lilacs by Specimen β goth rock. God I love this song, I love the punchy guitar opening, I love how modal the melodies are, I love the modulation between the verses and the chorus. It's just so much fun!
Home/To Me by Pinkshift β okay, I'm cheating and putting two songs here, but that's because Home directly goes into To Me so they're basically one listening experience in my mind. Grungy and emotive rock with beautiful guitar lines and topped off with Ashrita's amazing vocals.
Morbid Obsessions by We Are the Union β super fun ska punk and it's about being trans! The whole album is great, it's the lead singer's coming out album and it's a good time start to finish.
Ya Se by Fea β punk rock. Tight songwriting and catchy melodies. Fea has a lot of great songs and it was tough just choosing one.
dysphoria? But I feel fine right now. Talking about hrt
It feels very weird to label myself as a woman/trans because I'm not on hrt. I definitely feel gender envy, dysphoria, some depersonalization etc but still... I can't explain it. I feel weird in my body and I feel weird labeling myself a woman. Is this literally just the "normal" pre hrt experience?
I get you, I didnβt want to come out to my family until I had made some progress with transition/being gender non-conforming.
didnβt want them to look at me and just see a dude while I was saying I was a woman.
I also have a lot of brainworms tho.
bottom dysphoria
Well chat, it finally happened. I feel weird about my genitals. I really hope this feeling does not get worse.
Still no clue what I'd like done about it. Hoping hrt just fixes it.
sad
I feel trans and yet, sad. It's hard to put a reason why. Maybe it's because I haven't done enough to transition. But here I am in my comfy clothes and everything, and yet still sad inside.
my music is all over the place this week but share your collages if you have them or just share with me some music you like i guess. music monday or something
