Tumblr has a lot of LGBTQ people, but is a text based platform as opposed to a short form video platform.

Not doing too well right now. Currently on winter break so I’m isolated. I think things will get better for me mentally after the break. Really want top surgery but I don’t know if my ability to get it will be impacted by all the stuff after January or not. At this point I probably need a break from the news and social media and to go on hikes. Just have to put one foot in front of the other.

I did finally get all of my legal documents updated (minus birth certificate BC my birth state won’t let me), so yay for that.

Whoops, transed my gender:

I’m biologically FireWire

E specifically is linked to migraines, not T. Definitely think my body is more sensitive to it than average.

I feel ya, I used to be passively suicidal as well. I dreaded every aspect of the future because each passing day meant that my body would continue to develop in the incorrect alignment with my brain. Now the future feels much more manageable even though things are far from perfect. Each passing day means that my body gets closer and closer to being my own and that’s really helped me.

Yup, biochemical dysphoria is real. Estrogen just about killed me. Always had two weeks out of every month where I’d get crazy depressed for no discernable reason. I then took estrogen a while ago to stop mensuration while T did its magic and I initially had a terrible reaction to it. Made me extremely and irrationally depressed, gave me migraines, felt like shit all the time. Since being on T and getting off that E I haven’t expierenced anything like that.

I’ll give them a read. Looks interesting. Thanks.

I see. I was guessing it meant that there would be a lot more active confrontation and resistance with the feds. That’s disheartening.

It’s so strange to be a young person who just became an adult to grow into this. I’m going to fight as best I can for a better tomorrow. We absolutely have to be as united as possible as a community in order to weather and fight this.
