  • i just finished reading To Own The Libs today, it's so cute! i also love Dorley so adding some other fantastic works (both fiction) by Alyson Greaves:

    When You Fell From Heaven (romance) - cheerleading trans/cis lesbian romance set in 2003. picked it up after it was mentioned in the last few megas, highly recommend both books

    Kimmy (horror) - dude in the near future wears a hollowed-out android as a Halloween costume which starts to change him into someone/something else. it's really good but be sure to check the cws, it gets dark

  • because i just had my first post-op appointment and the bandage is finally off

    so the surgery went fine, no issues there. only weird part was that my anaesthetist was playing AI music when i got into the operating room? the first couple of days were more painful than i thought but it wasn't as bad as say, getting my tonsils taken out was. i could still eat and talk, there was just an annoying level of discomfort. oh and there's a section from under my chin that's gone numb too

    now that the area is mostly uncovered, i can see there's a shitload of bruising. i didn't know bruises could look like dried blood? i can also see how much prominence has been taken from my neck now, there's barely anything left! while i'm dreading going back into the office with the bruising / medical tape / eventually unhealed scar - my surgeon told me to claim that it's a result of a removed lesion - i'm really looking forward to showing it off to my electro person in a couple weeks. they're one of the few people i talked about it with and are thinking about getting the same surgery in the future. it's really nice having someone to talk about trans things with, even if they're zapping my balls while i do so

    anyways, next steps are tape for 6 weeks to flatten the area a bit and silicone gel for 6 months after that (which thankfully can have foundation put on top of). yay!

  • really glad to hear! we've had someone new join our team at work recently and it's been really nice not having to come out to him in any way. despite definitely knowing that i'm trans, he hasn't slipped on my pronouns or done anything else to gender me as a guy. yet i still have coworkers misgendering me over a year after coming out. down with cis

    I was helping a student with SAT stuff today and I heard her mom ask in the background "did you show her your PSAT scores?"

    aww that would have felt so good

  • Sure men look at me like I'm an f-slur. But they did that before I came out too.

  • ooh thank you for the tip! i've never heard of that but it seems like it would help. honestly the bigger issue is itchiness, so i'm thinking about switching to estradiol implants if my GP gives the okay. i'll grab some tegaderm for the time being though, i just really miss estradot 😭

  • haven't shaved for a few days to prep for an electrolysis consult. really not feeling good about having hair on my face and i think my E might be low from switching to shittier patches (estradot is pretty much out of stock nationally). it's been a while since i've haven't dreaded leaving the house this much

    on the bright side, i recently went to the bra store to supplement my daily-worn sports bra and i left with D cups

  • thank you! and right?? it ends up indirectly costing tens of thousands of dollars just to get a silly field on your birth certificate changed. it's wild that it took them until 2025 to change the law (they are the last state in

    to do so) but i'm glad it's finally done
