Hey, just in case you're out there, and your heart is telling you something important but you've been holding it in for so long that it feels like your whole life passed you by when you weren't looking, like chapters skipped on a dvd:

💜There is still time💜

It's never too late to be yourself.

Brought to you by I Saw The TV Glow, which is still making me tear up days after seeing it.

I had an idle curiosity and went down an internet rabbit-hole. Eventually, after one thing led to an eighth thing, and the short version is that someone cared about my bad Ranma fanfiction enough to figure out my real name and attach it to my fanfics on a wiki registry of Ranma fanfics writers.

Ngl, since all but one of the pieces was written while I was an angsty teen, I thought I'd be more mortified. Oh well, I pulled down all the really bad ones a while ago.

We all do things in fic we're embarrassed of.

So, my original vaginoplasty consult was with OHSU, which is an amazing hospital and where I wanted to go. But the consult was in two months.

On a whim, I decided to set a consult with another doctor. I now have a vagina two months before the original consult.

Just as a point of reference people: A 20 month wait for a consult and another 20+ month surgery wait was avoided by looking around.

This falls into the "It can't hurt to look around" category.

@NicolaElle @DivineKestrel And this is very much true for non-vaginoplasty surgeries too! For instance, there's an INCREDIBLE FFS doc that basically nobody knows about except locals, and she's got almost no wait and (as I understand it) accepts medicaid/medicare.

@DivineKestrel @NicolaElle Thaaaaaat... is a good question. I know other doctors at their gender affirming clinic have done in the past.

I'll be taking next week off on SGW. Several reasons why, but generally busy. I'll be out of town for part of the weekend and....

I bought a new car on Monday. My very first new car. For those who haven't, buying a new car is a Whole Fucking Process.

So yeah. Taking the breather.

Relatedly:

Holy shit is an electric vehicle amazingly better than gas for me, specifically as an autistic woman. It's SO MUCH QUIETER, and omg, no engine vibration. Like, you just don't notice how much engine vibration there is until it's gone.

Anyway, here's a picture of her:

@risingphoenix There's actually a version of my new car that does that, for the gearheads! Seems so silly to me.

@glowl @risingphoenix The thing is, the sound only plays inside the cabin. It doesn't exist for anyone except the driver, lol.

@EmilyGB2023 @sashag @kelidanovus Yeah, I WANTED to go Toyota or Subaru this time around, but Kia/Hyundai got in on EVs so early and their tech is so so so much more mature than almost anyone out there.

"Way too much blood!"

"Terra"

"What is coming out of my vagina?"

"That is correct."

"I'll take 'things I never thought I'd say' for $800"

All right, I've gotta show you something funny.

This is a pretransition pic of me. In a costume I made. For Halloween.

And taught class in.

I don't generally watch horror movies anymore. They're boring.

Cheap jumpscares, buckets of red syrup, predictable writing. Horror movies became boring to me a long time ago.

I just saw I Saw The TV Glow.

First horror movie I've ever seen that left me in tears, horrified, driving home after.

@gistofspirit Absolutely zero gore in this, confirmed.
