Sequel to JohnBrownsBussy
Maybe if I can stretch out my packing/cleaning all day and stop myself from leaving I can at least avoid church tomorrow.
Edit: Accomplished. I thought I was fibbing to the family when I called to tell them, but I think I actually feel to tired to drive today, and I still have a few more hours of cleaning I want to do today.
Man, having to performatively boymode for the family (not out to any of them) for Christmas is already wearing me down, and I haven't even left town (they came for my commencement yesterday, and are going back today). Not doing makeup really sucks. I do want to spend time with my siblings, but I may have to figure out an excuse to duck town earlier than I hoped. I am glad that my adult sister isn't coming home until after Christmas: she's tolerable and can even be sweet sometimes 1-on-1 but is a nightmare when we're with the broader family. I know it has to do with her own stresses/anxiety towards our parents, but she ruined Christmas dinner for me last year by going off on transphobic rants so it's hard for me to sympathize.
It also sucks because I've wanted to make the family watch Tokyo Godfathers for years, but it was never accessible on their streaming apps. This year, it's on Amazon Prime but with the climate I think it would cause a fight with my dad (and maybe even mom) who would accuse it of "confusing/corrupting" children. It would be a good way to test the waters and gauge the family's reaction, but I don't want to get in a fight.
Also not looking forward to getting dragged to church (of the "non-denom" evangelical variety). Would be another reason to skedaddle early to at least cut down the number of that experience.
A think a big part of it is the racialized anxiety that (usually) white men have towards black/non-white men when it comes to penises.
The poll is from Marquette Law School, so it's a pretty well known polling operation, not some twitter poll. But yeah, this definitely seems a lot higher than I would expect based on other recent polls, but combination of the Trump victory, barrage of anti-trans/anti-vax propaganda, and lack of visible resistance could sharply impact public perceptions.
It's definitely a big burden lifted, and it's going to make social transition at work a lot easier. I didn't feel that I was the best person to explain some of these things to someone effectively for the first time, so that made me a bit nervous, but I think it was fine.
Well, I came out to my boss. She wasn't super familiar with trans stuff, but she was supportive and respectful.
Yes, it's in the database. I strongly recommend that you get it changed if other federal IDs are changed as well, since a mismatch between that and other documents might be flagged if the new administration tries to audit those databases to find trans people.
Man, I love Bone. I had all the scholastic paperbacks. I should see if they're still at my folks place, or order the omnibus if they're not.
Well, it is right now. The Biden admin effectively instituted self-id for federal identification documents (Passports and Social Security Cards). It's very likely that the Trump admin will quickly halt this policy, so I'd recommend getting it done soon if you can.
Getting the gender marker updated at the Social Security Administration office was easy, once I was able to get an appointment. Was complete within 5 minutes, and the staff was nice.
I stopped listening to the Antifada after Jaime Peck left and the podcast went full leftcom/chinabad. Have they mellowed out in that respect?
Actually a good post/idea.
Honestly, had to stop listening when I realized they had that "internet radicalization" shitlib as a guest, and that they were focusing on that angle as opposed to the more pressing brutality of the healthcare industry. A real shame.
Came out to my best friend, he received it very well!
Biggest trick that I've found to hiding my beard shadow so far is switch from a blending sponge to a normal brush for applying foundation. The blending sponge was taking off too much product
Correct take.
Can anyone DM me any reliable estradiol powder vendors that I could reach out to? I am planning to stockpile pills at my next prescription refills, but I am interested in making estrogel as a backup. I have experience in chemistry, and have "access" to equipment to evaluate purity/contamination.

"Clearly [I'm a patsy?]. This is an insult to the intelligence of the American people and their lived experience."
I feel a lot better about the whole thing, and I am resting up with my sleepy kitties and watching Bottoms (2023).
