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?

This week on , we're talking about Transition Timelines, and the science--and lack thereof--of later transition!

@Impossible_PhD I'm over here screaming a bit. 🤣

Goddamn the quality of evidence is so shitty... and I was laughing at the idea that anyone thought cis puberty was as short as 2 years because have they ever observed a human?

It makes me laugh again at the levels targeted for my cis wife's post-hysto hrt... which is to say "what levels? oh that's all too varied to target anything, we go by feel"

Argh.

If you're white and part of the trans community and think that this doesn't apply to you?

Think. Fucking. Again.

We have a lot of work to do.

@Impossible_PhD I tend to think of a lot of ethical things with myself in terms of "I try to be..."

I try to be kind, I try to be fair. I try not to be racist. The work of trying is never done. 💜

While in conversation with four trans fems, the topic of fashion came up.

I noted we cover the four styles of trans fem clothing.

Beer attempt ongoing! Sort of a baltic porter in grain bill, except I'm throwing more hops in and throwing a sort of funkier yeast in than normal. First attempt at all grain so figured what the heck, why not play around a bit!

Kind of a riff on a conversation elsewhere... say I come into myself, figure out presentation that feels like me. Become somewhat attractive maybe?

... then what?

I can't imagine that (let's logically agree: relatively plausible) end result at all; it feels like a different person I don't understand over there. And that's terrifying

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.

@Impossible_PhD Gosh it really is. Almost have mine paid off and may try to avoid doing that again, ever

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.

If trying to make dysphoria a joke was a picture:

Trans folk,

Have you had a one-on-one meeting/dinner/coffee/whatever with a cis friend from prior to your transition where that meeting was NOT primarily focused on you explaining yourself and your transition?

I'm trying to think of one. And I can't. I can't think of a single one.

Dani,
@Dani@mastodon.sandwich.net avatar

@DivineKestrel actually yea, but he and I have a mutual friend who did this 20 years ago

for today i am gonna talk about pissing. thoughts on bathroom segregation, how i felt about it before and after starting transition, how i feel about it now, as well as some thoughts on the politics of pissing.

i speak solely of my own experiences and my thoughts; they're imperfect and anecdotal. if your experiences don't line up with mine, that's totally chill - please share your experience! i wanna hear about it.

please remember that you & only you know if you are trans ❤️

Dani,
@Dani@mastodon.sandwich.net avatar

@terraboops Hm; interesting thoughts. I'm still at the point in all of this where my presentation is masc-passing so I keep using the stalls in the men's... IDK, the next time someone even says something will be the first.

@terraboops ooh this sounds familiar, with the added wrinkle that my ability to perceive how people are evaluating me is complete garbage

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.

@Impossible_PhD No, no, no worries... just kind of a "oh no this is going to hurt" way, that people who Aren't US can't manage.

You know the management book I want to read? I've never seen it. The title would be something like "Hug your team" and it would be a feminine view of your team as a teacher helping their class of children succeed.

"Embrace the suck" is a shitty message to hear from a manager.

"How can I help you be happy" is the message we should be sending.

Once again, I am made happy by my machine's incompatibility with Windows 11. No keylogging AI bullshit in Windows 10! Huzzah!

NB: Yes, Windows 10 sucks. But not as bad as an AI-enabled Windows 11.

@oldladyplays I've heard of a version of 11 intended for secure facilities I may look into next computer I build.

I was walking along the other week and a guy walking the other way stopped, looked up at me and exclaimed "Jesus!"

I hope he doesn't tell anyone. The world is not ready for Trans Jesus.

And yes I zoom in every single time I take one to admire the glory that my will and a surgeon in Florida hath wrought.

I love thinking about what @kelidanovus is doing right now.

…well… not what she's doing right now, because that's just sleeping. But…

It makes me so happy…

@DivineKestrel @kelidanovus The yearning is strong here. 🥺

Weird night last night, went to bed at about 19h, because I was really tired. Couldn't get to sleep for more than an hour (a totally unusual thing for me - usually five minutes and I'm gone). Then my sleep was fitful, until about 23h when I got up again. This, too, is unusual (the fitful bit).

All got sorted when I went back to bed, though, 3 solid hours after a few minutes to get to sleep. shrug Weird, like I said.

Got a light day today, which is nice: one meeting at 17h, which is inconveniently late, but I'll cope. It's the final meeting for the granting foundation I've been working for. Which is good, because it means the honorarium is coming soon, and I could use it.

Before then, though, I have to go through and score the applications I'm responsible for. That's for this afternoon. This morning, I think I'm going rally driving (virtually). Been about seven or eight months since I drove, but hopefully it won't take too long to get my sharpness back.

One thing I don't understand: cheating in video games. Like, what's the fucking point? You're playing a game with yourself. Whom are you cheating? Great, so you got a world record time with cheating. You're always going to know you didn't really do it, so it's got to be pretty hollow victory.

Thankfully, the newer rally game I'm playing (EA WRC) has rigorous anti-cheating methods. I'm down with that. I don't mind being the 357th fastest person in the game, if that's what I can actually do.

Anyway, that's my post, and I'm sticking to it. Hope your day {is | was | will be} excellent.

@oldladyplays I love the idea of doing up a 2wd class car - it'd be a hoot and I could build a reasonable one. But same effort on circuit cars has a lot more events a lot closer

Dani,
@Dani@mastodon.sandwich.net avatar

@oldladyplays I wish rally were more widespread around here - it's about 8 hour drive to the nearest event and that's only once a year
