She/Her - I’m just a random transfem on the internet. A cat assigned dog at birth. A girl just trying to make it in a cruel and unforgiving world.

  • I’ve been on injections for over a year now, with an HRT prescription from planned parenthood rather than DIY (for now, anyway…) Blood tests show stellar results, last one was like 27 units (pg/mol or whatever?) of T and 280 units of E. Measured at the uh, whatever it’s called, the halfway point between injection days.

    The first time I did it, I was surprised how little pain there was, following guidance on how to do it right. Pinching around where you’ll inject distracts your nerves so they don’t notice the jab, at least when doing it in the thigh like I do. It’s super easy, though I gotta be nice and calm and collected or I get too shaky or risk forgetting a step (I recently opened a new vial, but got distracted and drew from it without wiping the stopper with an alcohol wipe first, dumb mistake to make!)

    It always sounded awful. But I don’t even think it’s that, because as far as I’m concerned, if god is anything besides made up, there’s no way it doesn’t just slowly consume souls of the dead.

    Easy food, just subsist off the faithful and keep the train going for thousands of years with infighting and a strong drive to proselytize non-believers. Some kind of cosmic horror shit or something, gotta be.

    Edit: But to be clear, I’m not trying to imply anyone following this or other religions is wrong or anything, or that I actually believe this (I’m in the “it’s made up” camp), I just think cosmic horror is neat and love overthinking :3

    I’m a trans woman, I am white and I’m not disabled so I have those details as advantages, but I’ve still been internalizing for months that I probably won’t get to make it to my 35th birthday (in about 4 years). Only things keeping me going are the same things that always kept me going, looking forward to incomplete media (anime/manga that have more seasons/releases to come, and video games that aren’t released yet or haven’t finished their update/content cycle) and wanting to finally physically be with my long-distance boyfriend. But I’m so tired and so wary of all the shit happening and I worry myself sick about all the worst possibilities. Fuck everyone responsible for the way the world has gone. Every rich person and every power-mad narcissist. The fires of hell and eternal damnation are too cold and too lenient a punishment for any of them.


  • I don’t like him, he’s too much of an opportunist. When you’re willing to throw lgbt people under the bus, as he’s done many times, you’re willing to throw others under the bus too when it suits you. So I would personally caution about voting for someone based on small aspects of their character instead of the whole (people throught Trump was funny in 2016, and now we’re here).

    If Newsom ends up winning the primary, I’ll obviously vote for him. There’s no other fucking choices. But I have little confidence given his record. I only know that he’d run things less poorly than the fascists, but that bar is as low as it gets.




  • I have two people who seriously matter to me, my boyfriend and my bestie. To them, I matter. I have to keep hobbling forward through this batshit insane garbage evil world no matter what the fuck happens, for them. But I also just want to be the person I deserve to be, I want to fully self-actualize as myself, you know? And so, for those who want to stop me, I live to spite.
