emotionally abusive ex spent like a year trying to convince me that if i would just cut out dairy I'd stop being fat. (also tried pretty hard to talk me out of going on hrt. probably just a coincidence that she really wanted to control what i put in my body / how i looked, right?) (/sarcasm)

god i love the gender i have landed on. i love having sparkly nails and crocheting in public while being just very wide and having a bit of a fuckboy mustache. i love that i get an exciting mix of gendered addresses from strangers
