"Trans people come in all shapes and sizes. The ones I have met are nice and just want to get on with their lives. It is wearing to have to justify your existence every time someone wants to call you out on something someone has read or heard." Louise
Trans teen ‘attempts self-mastectomy’ while waiting for surgery in ‘act of desperation’
National news outlets in New Zealand reported that the 18-year-old trans masc individual was taken to an emergency department early after attempting a “partial left mastectomy at home.” The incident was described as an “act of desperation” over the “unmet need” of masculinising chest surgeries.
What happens after the end of the second year of hormonal transition, once all the doctors say you've seen everything you're going to see. Why is it that basically everyone sees... well, a heck of a lot more?

Ume: "Worst how? The one that sometimes crowds in at me in nightmares, or the most serious one?
I remember my mother yelling at me for something trivial, Making me bow and touch my head to the floor in apology.
There was also the time I was biking off to join my friends and a tree branch fell and hit my bike. I flew off and broke my arm.
The most scary though was the time I told my mother I wanted to be a girl and she looked at me and said that was unacceptable and she never wanted to hear me speak like that again. There was something about her eyes that told me I had ventured too far. It was a look of utter contempt. I hid my feelings till I was able to escape to another country and transition. #Transgender#Transfem

Something i'm pondering today: are there any popular or mainstream-ish TV shows or hollywood movies depicting a t4t couple? Are there any that even show a queer romance between a trans person and a cis person? Are there any that show trans women as capable of being dated and loved in long-term relationships as themselves?
I'll admit, I am unaware of a single t4t couple in mainstream entertainment media (maybe there's like a single episode sidestory somewhere?). That might have more to do with me not watching that many new shows and movies though, not sure.
In terms of trans characters being dated and loved as themselves, i think all of those are in queer-centered media like the L Word, Pose, and Transparent, i'm guessing? (Also haven't watched those shows because i'm a bad queer 😅) but a mainstream show? Definitely can't name one, especially where a transfem or trans woman is seen as having a long-term relationship as herself.
