Anytime I am mentioned in speech or text – that is otherwise unrelated to the topic – people are quick to label me as a “Trans woman.”
I never, ever see a cis woman, unprompted, immediately labeled as a “cis woman.”
I know that, for you, you’re hyper aware of it and want to make sure you’ve validated me and you “warned” others in a way that grants you plausible deniability. But how about you just let me handle my disclosure, champ? Thanks!

They’re children. And their government is keeping them from doctors who practice a type of medicine that cures suicidal ideation at near miracle rates. If those kids do find relief, it'll be via their parents paying exorbitant out of pocket costs or by covertly ordering those drugs online with cryptocurrencies from sketchy overseas labs.
Please don't play the Harry Potter video games and it defend it by saying they brought *you* childhood joy.

I hate that FFS and hormones and hair removal all take the same interminable amount of time (and pain) because I feel I deserve some relief after finally getting healthy and pursuing a shape I’ll feel less dysphoria about (and more tangibly enby in).
I’m going to be so hot and arch and femme and facially hairless in two years. Two years and some kind of cash prize (?) or huge sponsorship and it’s over for you hoes. In the meantime I’ll be uhhhh clinging to my coping mechanisms.

There are patches that show improvement and once or twice I’ve had completely hairless spots. But right now, a week out from my last session, I have a full five o’clock shadow (I shaved at noon) and my goatee looks untouched by a single laser. I’ve wanted this gone even when I was trying to be enthusiastic about being a man.
This is like a glitch in the matrix or a witch’s curse or an alien phenomenon or something inter-dimensional. I’m still getting I grown hairs on my chin. 💀

I’m going to be honest with you, I’ve lived through a lot of shit in 34 years. I came out at 12 years old in 2002. I have seen terrorism, economic collapse, pandemics, fires, hurricanes, I’ve been exploited and assaulted and hate crimed. I’ve had near death experiences and horrible accidents.
I have never been so scared in my life as I am at the next five years, let alone after that. I finally have something to say and a way to say it and people who want to hear it and it’s never been harder. 😩

Sometimes I will talk on here about something mainstream that I like. Sometimes this thing is something that some men do not like – and have made not liking into part of their identity and personality.
I can write whole disclaimers asking them to just let me talk to the people who like this thing about this thing, I can explain that I have heard their viewpoint and considered it, I can cite facts or figures, and they will, without fail, jump in to explain to me why I shouldn’t like this thing.

The discrimination is at almost every level of medical care: Scheduling, insurance, providers, paperwork, outdated diagnostic and treatment protocol, medication shortages, copays, constant re-testing with tests that are barely available. I'm stop here but the list goes on and on.
I am desperate for someone to just check in every six months and mail me the pills I've been on since I was 14 — and then leave me the fuck alone to do my job and be a functional person!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot stress enough how enormous the barriers to entry for psychiatric care are in the US, especially for ADHD and autism. Every month I spend the better part of four days arguing and filling out paperwork and calling receptionists — and spending so much — so just my brain stays able to do those tasks and earn that money.
How are people supposed to work shifts and handle this? What if you're a parent? These meds cost nothing to produce. Why is it not cheaper for society to let me function?
