realized recently that i use the internet and computer-touching to distract myself from my gross and wrong flesh body and also distract me from thinking about what gender i am
looking forward to the day i can upload my consciousness to the internet but then again that would probably also suck eggs

in the meantime there are birbs

ask me about a 60 year old man offering to pay me and my college roommates money to limp biscuit him

i deffo had an older dude follow me from app to app and site to site years ago

then he saw me in a panera one day and immediately ran into a corner to pull out his phone and frantically flip through the pictures i assume

it was extremely uncomfortable

me and my partner are planning on getting married but money and the pandemic hasn't made it any easier. one of these days we'll pop over and get the paperwork done and then we'll just have the ceremony whenever ends up being convenient

we did this and have zero regrets about the courthouse wedding (which was still a required ceremony actually)

just threw a big party a few months later at home. never had a hundred people in a condo before lol.

massive money savings. i know people like them but i would never want a traditional wedding.

i wouldn't be surprised if most weightloss before surgery was actually qrbitrary and not a medical nessecity

really depends on what sort of weights for the person. even without high bp or any of the other potential comorbidities being heavier just on its own makes a lot of aspects of surgery more difficult

also a difference between a surgeon saying they’re not going to operate unless someone loses fifty pounds and saying a patient really should lose weight to make the procedure safer but not making it dependent on getting the procedure

either way it sucks to have to focus effort on that in the best of times let alone right now. the pandemic makes everything about life more difficult.

we're talking about using a syringe

related to needle issues, when i got vaxxed i turned the chair around because i'm a southpaw and the lady's like, "are you scared of needles"? and i shook my head and she's like oh thank god

i guess it's been a real issue, and that has to suck for everyone involved

I dunno I try to remind myself that I too was once young and insufferable and that given time and guidance they can become like me, old and somewhat-sufferable

This did not apply to my one male coworker who would not stfu about NFTs (I had to duck out of the way on zoom calls to roll my eyes)

He eventually stopped and I'm pretty sure it's because he his ape or whatever got stolen

this is sort of how i feel

also, young people of all stripes do this in all domains of knowledge

being an excited young gay is no different, and i think it's worth having some sympathy, to some extent, when being around people who are getting to live their truths for maybe the first time in their lives

correct, i never heard of different needles for draw/inject until starting estrogen

my mil is a nurse, well, just retired now, and one of her biggest pet peeves is when professionals don't swap needles for injections since it blunts the needle (she gave me my flu vaccine in her kitchen one year lol)

Ciaphas posted:

still, only 3 months in to having estradiol patches, and being nearly 40 years old maybe there won't be enough physical changes for the questions to even matter, so i suppose i ought to not get too wrapped up about it all (yet)

i’m not trans so take all this with a grain of salt but how you end up can really vary from person to person. i have some friends who transitioned late in life and some of the changes were really shocking to them; i think it’s probably hard to predict.

there’s not really a wrong way to go and you should just do whatever you feel you need to live your best life. but how you feel now and how you feel in a couple of years may be pretty different.
