Tired middle-aged woman, likes cats. Has strong opinions, may or may not share them. Transitioned in the long-ago years of the early 00s, not that it's any of your business.

Feeling this. I digitized some of them from my teen years (shudder) that I remember excruciatingly well but are even more cringeworthy with thirty years of life experience behind me. There's another stack of them from even earlier to be done and I honestly don't know what I'm going to find.

I've done that a couple of times out of curiosity and mostly I'm like "who even is this person?" Most of the time I've never even interacted with them. No skin off my nose.

New Kaiju unlocked. They skipped the mutant turtles and just gave the ninja powers straight to the sewer itself.

Ooh, The Net from '95 with Sandra Bullock is on streaming again. Some of it's hilariously dated & dumbed down for the general public. The core of the plot though, was looking 20 - 30 years into the future & absolutely nailing it.

It me, I'm Angela Bennett except less espionage, hacking or cuteness.

Also those two times I went out as me when I was teenager were like "welp, this is how I die, but I'd rather be dead than not know".

I wish I had a picture of me as a teenager the first time I had makeup done by someone who knew what they were doing. I looked in the mirror and was like "I'm a combination of all my female cousins at once, what the heck?"

It took 7-8 years (2 of them on HRT) & another makeover to find that again.

Of everyone in my trans support groups circa 2002-2004, there's exactly one person I can still find online. I know one support group leader, my psych & endo all passed away several years ago. Everyone else completely vanished off the face of the earth.

(I was the youngest one there by ten years.)

Listening to WinAmp right this instant. It will never ever be replaced as long as I can help it - I refuse to use Spotify or any other streaming service except the occasional Youtube video, when I have all these mp3s and FLAC files on my HDD.

First or middle name I would've had were I AFAB according to my parents' baby name book, & last name of the elementary school teacher who was the first one in my life to ever cut through the bullshit & make me face the fact there was something really wrong with me that wasn't "being a gifted kid".

I'm loathe to waste a medical professional's time, yet part of me wants to schedule an appointment, get in the stirrups & make friends with the plastic duck just to see the confusion & consternation on the OB/GYN's face.

"Found anything up there yet? If you do it'll be news to me and my surgeon."

For all the times I complain about the government keeping my two-decades buried deadname & old life in a box to occasionally haul out & torment me - in the end they're the government & most of the time the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing. They mean well but this is morbidly hilarious.

Got an unexpected letter from government health. Turns out since I'm now in my late 40s they want me to come in to get screened for cervical cancer.

BWAHAHAHA.

I know there's nothing funny about cancer, but...

HAHAHAHA

I started cackling maniacally as soon as I processed those words on the page.

For a second I thought new Real Life Comics were going to be watercolour or oil on canvas.

Also what someone else said about exercise capacity post-HRT. It went to about 2/3 of what it was before HRT for me and stayed there. Then slowly dropped another 20% due to getting old.

I have scars from twenty years ago that are going to be visible for the rest of my life.

(I guess the takeaway is don't get hit by a car while on HRT. Or like ever.)

I got to meet a bunch of folks IRL I'd only known on the internet till that point which was nice, and a new batch of organizers turned things around a bit the following year. But it was too little too late. Nobody I know who attended broke even either year. The whole thing folded permanently in '08.

Trinoc Con '05 was my personal benchmark for con disasters. Collosal infighting among the organizers, personal safety concerns for the attendees, comped hotel rooms getting yanked at the last minute, convention panels being held to completely empty rooms. I flew across the continent for this?!

Out of curiosity in my teens I once gathered one up out of the hundred feet or so of ditch it was lying in, cleaned it and wound it back into a donor cassette shell. It turned out to be two thirds of Butchered At Birth by Cannibal Corpse. It sounded like it was designed to be found lying in a ditch.

Since the discourse today is "Gen X Nostalgia": when's the last time you saw long strands of broken cassette tape strewn down the side of the road? If you spent any time walking or cycling in rural / suburban areas it used to be nearly a daily thing in the 90s, till it gradually became smashed CDRs.

The 2nd part to this post was going to be "a whole lot of cis gay men writing what they thought trans people were like" but then I checked and Stephen Trask came out as nonbinary in 2021? So I guess more than a few eggs that took a couple of decades to get cracked. It's still a messy subject though.

The movie soundtrack for Hedwig & The Angry Inch cued up on Winamp for the first time in months or maybe years. It's decent as soundtracks go, but woooow were the late 90s, early 00s ever a weird era for "trans" representation - quotation marks intentional. Very "we'll take what we can get I guess?"

I miss the belief from the late 90s that society was going to continue to improve and become more accepting. Maybe I was naive but that's what I want back.
