being a lowkey “assimilated” transsexual woman right now feels insane and psychedelic. i’m simultaneously living a “can she have it all” girlbossy rom-com alongside a grim political drama about my impending extermination
Anyone mind if I double down on a bad habit in the midst of some turmoil?
Might fuck around and allow myself to feel a bunch of difficult feelings and then move on before I get stuck in them
What is it like to have family from whom you can ask for financial help? Or a rich spouse? Or a nice little trust fund? Oh, how I wish I were a trust fund poet.
I have several events booked over the next couple months, and while I am lucky enough to have vacation days I can use to get off of work, I still have no idea how I’m going to afford travel and other associated costs. Makes a girl want to quit the game entirely :(
Being a working poet trying to find time, money, and energy to put towards doing the bare minimum of events and readings to promote my book is breaking me fr
When I was a child I used to see how long I could hold my arm against the metal playground bars on a hot day and now as an adult I do the same thing but with unbearable situations
Dear friends — I am moving this weekend and have been recently hit with some unexpected expenses. I could use a hand in order to get settled comfortably into my new place — if you have anything to spare, I would greatly appreciate it!! 💕
View From A Café Window A family sits below talking and tasting wine. A hand pushes a stroller back and forth, everyone smiling in their places. A small breeze drifts through slightly wilted trees. The end of winter is slow and quiet. Loneliness abates in tiny steps.

Got my hair cut for the first time in a year and then immediately after had to go home and sleep for an hour just to process the new reality this minor change to my appearance entails. Love being a girl.
Oh wow!! This looks awesome!
That makes sense - I used to take 100mg prog daily when I was still on oral e and blockers, but stopped bc I lost my HRT access for a few months before switching to injections. am very much looking forward to getting back on for the mental effects!
Awesome, thank you! I do
sub q injections with valerate so this is super helpful to know!!
Absolutely, just reposted. It’s no inconvenience at all! Keeping you and your family in my thoughts ❤️
That’s great question! My blood test was 5 days after my last injection - not sure where that puts me. I usually inject every 7-9 days or so.
Awesome, thank you!!
Thank you so much!! 🙏
Also should I avoid starting prog if my levels are already this high?
Chat, if I’m doing monotherapy with injectable e and my labs come back at 364 pg/ml should I be worried about potential health effects? Or is this ideal considering I’m not on any anti-androgens?

So gay and annoying how “We accept the love we think we deserve” continues to be a core truth at the center of life
My vulnerability and open-hearted nature exist for people who don’t punish me for it
