It's a thing I think she only ever mentioned like once, and the subject is not her direct specialty (aren't facial/neck and head follicles kinda different?...).
But when taking an "unregrettable path" of damage control (clear the face, save head hair), seems worth planning around...
Been chipping away at it with electrolysis after a couple of years of laser (apparently IPL...) that appears to have done nothing.
Saw on Dr Z PHD's YT channel that some parts of facial hair, like under the jaw, may be usable for hair transplants, which seems odd, but maybe worth considering?...
A friend of mine who's into astrology, assessing my natal chart: Venus in the 12th house means a hidden feminine side...
What does participating involve? You will complete an Internet survey that takes approximately 90 minutes. There is no compensation for participating in this research. If you are a gender dysphoric youth, the survey asks about your childhood and adolescence, your family, your history and symptoms of gender dysphoria, your sexuality, and your mental health. If you are the parent (or guardian) of a gender dysphoric youth, the survey asks about your gender dysphoric child’s childhood and adolescence, their history of gender dysphoria, their sexuality, their mental health, and your relationship with them.
You are eligible to take part if you are either: A person from 13 to 25 years old (including 13 and 25) who is living with gender dysphoria.* The parent or guardian of a person 13-25 years old who is living with gender dysphoria. *Youth who are 13-17 years of age and live outside of the United States and Canada will need permission from their parent to participate.
There it is. They wanna drill people about their sex lives; it's intending to paint us as sex perverts.
Also, fucking lol, they're even using Littman's disastrously discredited "ask transphobic parents an online survey" method. I bet they know they won't get hardly any actual trans people.
Turns out it was just a recommendation and they haven't really stopped it.
A lot of old thoughts started coming back. Found trans interpretations in countless things...
After that video I found myself crying more easily at things - I still wonder if it was some sort of testosterone crash from over caution during the pandemic era - it lasted me a couple of years.
I'd seen other people coming before & I was happy for her, but when at the 20-something minute mark she mentioned having been to an all-boys school (still don't know for how long for the sake of comparison with my experience, byt I guess that's beside the point), a "this doesn't happen" notion broke

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

No idea if this Person That Could Have Been is a staple of Roger Taylor's psyche, but Roger certainly succeeded in giving her cultural immortality while carrying on with his default life unaffected...
This isn’t about the meme or anything but Roger Taylor:
a) suggested the concept for the music video;
b) is the one on the left.
Babe. There is still time.
my secret transgender project… @annehealthcare.bsky.social
Hey folks, I often do posts calling for indie developers to link me their games so I can signal boost them. Today I want to do something similar for all trans creatives.
If you are a trans game dev, artist, writer, streamer or YouTuber, reply here with a link to your work. Only one rule: no GenAI.💜
Almost a decade of early childhood in an all-boys school, so not even the opportunity to figure out if I got along better with the girls or boys, let alone identification... the Story was made structurally impossible even if the proclivity was there..
Sons of bitches, all of them...
So my GPS office just called to say they're stopping the Finasteride prescriptions, despite years of no ill effects...
I'll need to have a chat with the doc.
I don't intend to stop damage control in one form of another.
Maybe not the thing to push me toward some form of DIY, but the thought lingered
hey guys check this out

One page comic from Fanlee and Spätzle Make Something Perfect by Pseudonym Jones. Spätzle is doing the described things. Panel 1: “first, use an alcohol swab to sterilize the opening of the vial.” Panel 2: “stick the syringe into the vial and push all the air out of the syringe.” Panel 3: “draw 2mL estradiol Solution.” Panel 4: “this will take a while 'cause estradiol solution is thicc” (this is very true) Panel 5: “pust out 1mL estradiol solution (make sure to get out all of the bubbles).” Panel 6: “do that thing that nurses on TV always do (tap tap tap).” Panel 7: “swab the injection site.” Panel 8: “have a loved one stick you.” Fanlee: “Ride or die, babey.” Panel 9: “finally, pick out a cute band-aid.” Spätzle: “ooh! Squirtle.”
Happy birthday @pseudonymjones.bsky.social I think of this comic at least once a week
Not sure I can do this reliably, especially as I run out of local pharmacies to ask in - also not sure if any NIF would do, using mine could be risky...
Also in Algarve, if another part of it, tourist-adjacent enough.
Not sure if asking in Portuguese (native) makes sense difference more than the attendant does...
A 5 panel comic. Watermaked with `@introvertmemes` (presumably original creator). Title: "How people describe an introvert as they grow up" Each panel show a stick figure with a bubble of speech entering from an unseen person on the right. 9 years old figure is small and has a big smile "You are such a well behaved kid" 17 years old Figure is almost fully gown and has a slight smile "You are really mature for your age" 24 years old: Figure is full sized and has a neutral face. "He is a bit boring" 30 years old: figure is full gown and has a sad face. "That guy over there is really creepy" final panel in obviously different font etc because it is my addition: 35 years old Figure is fully gown, and now has long hair and is smiling. "That girl over there is really hot".
Someone sent me this with only the first 4 panels.
So I had to fix it, by adding the 5th.
Got asked in whose name that was supposed to be and/or a NIF - not a prescription, but still not trivial.
Maybe it's a matter of who or where one tries to get it from, but so far, nope.
The scene where Katherine comes across her namesake online game character while playing with Nichole was neat and feels like a partial key to her past and the future of the story.
Couldn't help but think of FFXI's Lady "Remember this, the future will choose me" Lilith, whose narrative is... flexible
Took the leap & have been reading RCBG.
The experience of reading it reminds me of a Genshiken reader's lamentation that he caught a reference from Sue that Madarame didn't, implying terminal otaku brain.
It's too intelligible for comfort despite technically being detached from character experiences
We're at the 'we're very sorry we hired a trans person' stage in the UK's systematic erasure of trans people.
We are going to have the fun thing happen again where a dozen cisgender female athletes discover they have Y chromosomes.
AP The Associated Press @AP BREAKING: The Trump administration is pushing an initiative for millions of Americans to upload personal health data to new apps run by private tech companies. Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH @GeauxGabrielle Hi! Epidemiologist here! Don't do this. In the 80s and 90s this was done by Depts. of Health during the HIV/AIDS epidemic. "Somehow" the lists they created found their way into the hands of cops, landlords, & job sites to deny people human rights. It's partly WHY the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act exists
LinkedIn has removed hate speech protections for transgender people and people of color.

If you buy a home, learn from my mistakes and keep a list of:
* the manufacturer and model of all of your faucets / fixtures
* every paint color + manufacturer + glossiness of every paint you do
