I liked how in Wildstar the Protostar reps would use "Ladies, gentlemen and non-binary sentients". What with all the aliens and robots and AI constructs and whatnot.

I usually say "Hey Alan." because that's my pizza guy and I don't talk to anyone else ever.

I drink so much water a day that it isn't even funny! Either way, i think i'm just stuck with pills that take forever to dissolve. I'll keep looking to find ways to make it go by better though

Not obligated to talk to other people, and a specific guy for pizzas? Damn, you really are living the good life.

The "not trans enough" doubt is absolutely pervasive.

On some days I'll find myself wondering if I'm supposed to be wearing more makeup, have dresses more, if I should have gone to vocal training.

On particularly weak days II'll find myself feeling sure that there are trans people out there who would think surgery was wasted on me for still not 'using' it three and a half years later.

If it remains onerous, you could always try asking your doctor about estrogen patches. They're not terrible - I'm on them now as, according to my endocrinologist, unlike pills there's no increased chance of DVT with them.

H&M's sister brand, & Other Stories, is taking steps to make good on their name with their fall campaign -- which was entirely modeled, shot and put together by a transgender creative team.

Maybe. They weren't presented as an option when she was prescribing them to me. My choice was injections or pills, and I really didn't feel like giving myself injections!

I'm sure I could do self-injections if my very life depended on it, but otherwise it is pretty much the least appealing imaginable delivery method of anything outside of suppositories.

Eh. After the first one I'm sure it'd be like nothing to me, that's generally how it is with things like that. I'd probably be terrified of accidentally fucking up and putting air in my body or something though.

As a diabetic, injections aren't bad at all! Although there are many different types of injections and your treatment might use a different one. Still, it'd be worth giving them a go, even if it is just to confirm that they aren't for you. You might dislike other injections done by doctors and nurses, but it can be quite different when you're the one in control.

There's a lot of inflation fetishists out there who'd consider that more of a bonus than a fuck up


...I'm not gonna lie I took like a two hour nap recently and I'm still pretty disoriented so my ability to gauge inappropriate jokes is completely gone right now

Ms Dapper

Talk to me about big ladies Speed.

It is actually super easy to avoid that; working with syringes is really easy with a little bit of care for how you fill them.

On another note, I did a google search for a specific thing and this is literally the only result I got, so I thought I'd share it even though I'm not sure who here but me would be interested.

Advice for post-menopausal trans men who want to begin to transition

It's something I've been giving thought to, and I don't know if it would happen really, but I want another baby and it will be a lot easier to seriously consider some sort of transition when I'm not fighting with that. There are some things that I don't want to lose that I'm worried testosterone would make difficult, but others that I would definitely like to gain that are not possible without hormones.

As long as I have that baby thing going though, it's all unfortunately and yet somehow comfortably in the future.

This was the promo art they released



My excitement went through the roof before reading the article under the image and learning that the female character in that image is a child

You're a beautiful beautiful monster Speed.

I am too but about... other things.

I dunno, that still sounds pretty rad.

Yeah maybe? If this whole pill dissolving thing doesn't work out for me i might ask about it. It just isn't my #1 choice because they're a little more involved.

Oh it totally does

What often gets lost in all the joking about my disgusting sexual appetites is that I think giants and shrinking and shit is cool outside of a sexual context

It's just you know I went from thinking that tumblr was gonna be a beautiful porn paradise when that movie came out to being an accidental pedophile in the space of about 10 seconds

Anyway this has so incredibly little to do with trans issues at this point, one might in fact say it has nothing to do with them! I abdicate all responsibility and blame ms dapper for this detour into depravity

That and being a part of egregiously mismanaged podcasts about they might be giants

TheySlashThem

have we really not figured out for sure if they're giants yet

it's been decades

Ms Dapper

In the time between episodes the podcast we ripped off came back, met their band and did an interview.

Speed Racer

God why am I using so many high school vocabulary words what happened that made me want to write those posts like an asshole

The Betgirl

you're fine, speed!

I for one am super OK with derails that show there are ppl who are enthusiastic about big tall women, because I find it hard to convince myself that such people really exist.

TankHammer

I dated a girl who was 6'1" for awhile and it was a major part of the attraction at first. We broke up because she was a werewolf.

Ms Dapper

That bites.

Gvzbgul

Sounds ruff.

Melding

That sounds like a shaggy dog tale

i've heard of high standards but this is ridiculous

Tall girls rule. Sooooo much.

I like short boys though interestingly.

And short girls.

And tall boys.

Cute people generally, I'm hilariously unpicky.

Ultimately, as Immortal God Emperor, I hope to have a room full of willing concubines that I can spoil and roll around on for a while and then we can all watch Little Shop of Horrors and do our nails.
