    Update: The pain I'm in combined with this whistling porter/janitor walking around the hallway on the ward is creating quite the surreal experience. I recognise the tune but can't quite remember the title of it.

    I think it might be the Twin Peaks theme...

    Whistling music from Twin Peaks within earshot of people on mind altering medication should be illegal

    Yeah, yeesh. Laying here pondering if there is a testicle heaven and if they're in the medical waste incinerator already... Like ashes rising from a bonfire in Dark Souls. I feel my delirium right now is due to a mixture of exhaustion and a whole bunch of different medication...

    Is that like the reverse of a Members Only jacket?

    this is literally the worst thing to whistle at a hospital you're employed in.

    It’s a very good song to whistle in empty stairwells though

    I had a very bad night. Last night was the first night my Ex was no longer living with me.

    As I sit here on the other side of this I know that everything I have done to chose a life as me was necessary.

    The pain of having to now experience life as me and build a person from this wreckage inside, even "alone", is nothing compared to the slow death of myself I perpetuated for 40 years trying to be some version of me that I wasn't.

    Bring it on.

    Haha one of the nurses here is totally into the Witcher on Netflix. We did alternate verses of 'Valley of Plenty' and she wants me to show her how Geralt sounds like on the Switch. :biggrin:

    So I was poking around a bit trying to find some info on the endo I am seeing on Monday and came across this Position Statement that she co-wrote with several other endos from hospitals around Australia and it's... actually really fucking good?

    Been a terrible run of news lately in the States. Governments at all levels, including the courts, coming after all of us, with a focus on trans people. They're even going after trans kids. Again.

    I'm so ready for this nightmare to end.

    Well... I just outed myself to a larger group than I was prepared for.

    An acquaintance at a friend's birthday, whom I know had started going by a new name but beyond that hadn't interacted with in a few months mentioned issues with being a masc passing enby on dating platforms and we started discussing frustrations with amab enby life and uh

    Well I'm home after that and my body keeps shaking and it's hard to stop

    Happy Sunday morning to all the awesome people (and that definitely means YOU). Hugs for all who want one, fistbumps and/or winks for the rest.

    E: No, autocorrect, "fistbumps" not "fistula." Definitely not "fistula."

    Yeah, posting details like that, even if the original is from a public site, is putting a magnifying glass over some real personal stuff that they may not have intended such scrutiny.

    This is neat. And very gay.
    Four months before her twentieth birthday, Emily Dickinson (December 10, 1830–May 15, 1886) met the person who became her first love and remained her greatest — an orphaned mathematician-in-training by the name of Susan Gilbert, nine days her junior. Throughout the poet’s life, Susan would be her muse, her mentor, her primary reader and editor, her fiercest lifelong attachment, her “Only Woman in the World.”

    Well, I leaned into my privilege and the benefit of anonymity at work and made the suggestion that everybody in the company should have preferred pronouns displayed in our signatures.

    and the C level that replied didn't reply with outright derision! They actually said it was a good idea, but asking why such a change should apply to everybody and not just those that would care.

    My reply was basically, if everybody has it then it's not a new thing to be spotted by somebody who wants something different. It's just the normal thing to see and so the company wouldn't be singling anybody out as being different if they chose to put their pronouns in their email signature.

    So... we'll see what happens.

    Some of the termonology used might be a little iffy?, but seems to be a positive article overall.

    Hey folks.

    So. I met someone wonderful over the internet. We met in person for the first time this weekend and did all sorts of Lewd things like hug and hold hands.

    Anyway. Long story short I may be Demisexual instead of asexual. Also I never felt this level of gender euphoria as a nonbinary person before my now girlfriend told me I exuded massive nerd butch energy.

    So. I’m extremely happy and queer and happy to be queer.
