It's going to be great (seriously awful) watching my asshole coworkers misgender her. HR is wonderful thankfully but that's not going to save her from her awful boss who can't be bothered to learn people's names that their parents gave them let alone new ones. The younger generation is much more warmer I think than the older and mostly white male gay crowd. I haven't seen her in a while but I hope she's ok.
Yaaaay, trans thread is back! Best birthday present.
I had my first laser treatment two weeks ago. I found a trans-friendly place about 20 minutes away from my apartment, and the lady who does it is nice. #2 will be on the 7th.
I've also spent the last couple of weeks buying girlie clothes online, which has been a fun adventure. Sizing was kind of hard to figure out (especially since I have no hips), but I got pretty close for the most part. Only a couple of skirts were too big for me to wear (I guess I'm more of a 12 than a 14).
Sometime in the next few weeks I'm going to try to find a therapist who can point me to a good endocrinologist, and probably shoot for starting hormones by...end of September, maybe? I don't really know how long that process is.
Depends on the therapist, unless its changed in the last few years the SoC minimum is 3 months of therapy for hormones, mine was around that, some go longer, and some dont really care about thr SoC as an authoritative force for hormones and won't wait that long even

You ever notice how sometimes in cartoons there are identical twins that are one boy and one girl event though identical twins come from one split zygote, meaning one set of chromosomes? Like Scooter and Skeeter, Phil and Lil, or Mabel and Dipper?
I like to think that animators have subversively been trans-inclusive this whole time.
I forgot to take my spiro this morning before i left for work and i'm so frustrated with myself over it
what's the protocol on that? should I just take it when I get home? do I just shrug and miss a dose?
Depends on when you can take it. "A couple hours after you missed a dose" is fine. "A couple hours before your next dose" isn't. Spiro isn't a bad med to miss, your body won't notice. I've done it a ton of times. (Not on purpose) Three or four days skipped is bad, three or four or twelve hours isn't.

I can take it around 1:30 when I get home, but my next dose would be at 7. So I guess I can just wait.
I'll figure it out when I get home, I guess. I'm just mad because I specifically thought about taking it when I got out of the shower and then immediately forgot.

I've seen a fan comic on Tumblr featuring a trans Dipper and Mabel giving him love and support.
Im supposed to take two spiro two times a day, but during a hospital visit a couple months ago, they just gave me all my meds in one lump. So I cant imagine thrre being a problem with taking them a little closer to each other than normally.
I forgot (and still forget) my pills on a semi-regular basis.
I never considered it a huge deal because my endo told me that it didn't necessarily need to be morning and evening, that I could shift around the dosage to a schedule that I felt best on, as long as I got the full dosage in a 24 hour period.

it's a nice thought, but identical twins where one is AFAB and one is AMAB totally can happen, it's just super rare
media has a strange way of making uncommon things common and common things uncommon
What little googling I did seemed to indicate that when it happens it leads to one of those genetic syndromes since one twin doesn't have the full chromosome set. Sounds like it's not something you wouldn't notice happened.
So I am going on a week long family vacation soon, and I am kind of worried about it. My relatives are a bunch of little shits about anything Queer related and I am not looking foward to all the jokes about Caitlyn Jenner and Gay marriage that are bound to come up. I am a little scared I might respond in a way that would out me. It sucks because I was really looking foward to this, and now even if nothing happens my fear is going to prevent me from enjoying myself.
I don't even know if I am justified in feeling this way.
I'm not sure why you wouldn't be justified feeling this way; i get worried about even going to see close friends who know. Being closeted is super difficult, especially when you know those around you aren't accepting. Holding out and avoiding those topics is probably your best bet, and if you do have to yell at someone about it, well, I hope it goes well.
Also, hugs!
Hey kind of a late reply to this, but thank you so much for the support!
Well I'll make doubly sure it's related.
My LGBT pride Ghostbusters pins arrived! They didn't have one in trans flag colors but I'll see if I can't think of something.

First you'll need white-out and a baby-blue and pink sharpie...
And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn
I don't really know to be honest, a terrible drive down, indigestion and other gross body stuff, and everything I was worried about outside of outing myself happening within the first 2 days(the week is young for that last one).
This feels less like a relaxing week off and more like a worse version of my home life. I feel like I am going to break at any moment.

The radio said "No, Dubh. You are the animes."
And then, Dubh was a dragon/demon girl.

kinda not really interested in the forums as much, these days

Fun! Can I come dance too?
No because I'll probably just be lazy and veg out.

It was cute.
Of course, I am ALSO not a doctor so...

That's kind of incredible, actually.
I've never heard of that either.
like, either the egg or the sperm has to start off with an extra chromosome for it to even have a chance of happening

I honestly don't know how I posted in the wrong thread. I blame my thumbs.

One month until DragonCon!
I figured I'd just find a crafty person with a pin maker and do it old-school.
