    I want to complain about HRT dosage and endocrinologists. Back when I took E via pills, I had some okay hormone levels going, but on the order of my new endo I switched to gel. I don’t understand why, but it just doesn’t work properly and I haven’t been feeling right for a long while now. The doctor never really cared of course. I swear they’re trained to think of “cross-gender” hormones as some rare poison that’s the ultima ratio for the strange patients. Anyway, I’ll be getting a new one soon and if they also suck, I’ll have to look into getting a better one at the next town over. Why does it have to be that difficult?

    When I sing it’s like the karaoke fail in DE but 10x worse. Are there any first-time-since-elementary-school-singer + already-voice-trained-transfem combo guides out there???

      so I went looking for this a couple of years ago and it doesn’t really exist. everyone I talked to in the trans voice community said keep working on trans voice stuff and just sing a ton. fwiw, singing really helps make trans voice easier because vocal control is key. you just keep practicing and practicing and practicing and eventually you don’t suck, apparently?

    Boymoding for the first time in a while to meet my grandparents, but I lost like 7kg of probably mostly muscle since I used these clothes so I just look like someone who raided her boyfriend’s wardrobe.

    badeline-disgust Been watching this banger video about compulsory heterosexuality n feminism, but

    lil bit of transphobia discussion

    somehow Princess Weekes brought up… the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival? No way, it’s actually real?? It doesn’t just exist as a bit in Nevada??? Ended in 2015???

    Anyway the video has a couple statements from the Michigan Womyn’s people in it, and it contains one of the more bizarre things I have ever seen: the term “trans womyn”, spelt with a fucking “y”. What does this even mean, relative to “womyn”? What’s the difference? Who the literal fuck are these deeply unserious dorks??? wut

      There’s a nice essay by Michelle Tea about her visiting Camp Trans, the counter-festival trans people were putting up against Michfest. Anyway, wait till you find out that the infamous “trans penis” incident that helped to galvanized the whole conflict occurred because a trans man who’s also a cop took a shower – you couldn’t write this in fiction.
