Edit: Project 2025, page 5:"Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children, for instance, is not a political Gordian knot inextricably binding up disparate claims about free speech, property rights, sexual liberation, and child welfare. It has no claim to First Amendment protection. Its purveyors are child predators and misogynistic exploiters of women. Their product is as addictive as any illicit drug and as psychologically destructive as any crime. Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered."
Got pulled over by a cop for the first time since transitioning. My ID has my old name / face, so I was terrified. I'm in a rural area with a large MAGA presence.
He was incredibly kind, apologized for being "disrespectful" when confirming my legal name, and then asked for a preferred name to use. I ended up not getting a ticket, and he called me ma'am when we parted ways.
The rest of my week was also great, if uneventful.
I feel like Zohran must have tried to appeal to Trump's nostalgia for the city. Trying to, make it great again, perhaps? I can't imagine any other way that Trump would suddenly be on board.
I was told the other day by someone younger than me that saying "okay boomer" is cringe now.
The new hot hip fan-didly-tastic slang is "unc status" or "aunt status", apparently. Means the same thing, but in sleek Gen-Z packaging.
I also had taken years to become more comfortable with sex, prior to starting hrt. I have been on hrt now for almost a year, and things have changed a lot.
however
The changes were all things that I was able to clearly communicate to my partner, which made it easier for her. I wasn't confused, just knew that my body appreciates a different approach now.I would say that I started from an "okay" place, sexually. Now I am very confident and comfortable.
My libido took a dive initially, but is now up to a level I am happy with. I think it's improved since I feel more desirable now. I don't worry anymore, "ugh, why would anyone want to have sex with that," when I look in the mirror.
in the transfem literature, but my doctor also provided this table with my results:Female Follicular Phase: 12-233 pg/mL Ovulation Phase: 41-398 pg/mL Luteal Phase: 22-341 pg/mL Postmenopausal: <138 pg/mLWhich seems to suggest that my level would be acceptable.
