From the article:

Accept that just because you don’t understand an identity doesn’t make it not real

Reminds me of this:

I think my favorite part about the pins is while they cover all of the well-known options and some of the lesser known, they also have an “Ask Me”. That was cool. It allows people to engage and educate. I’m pretty sure that’s the one I’ll pick over he/him

I'm sure many will still make honest mistakes, I only ask that if a mistake is made, the offended ask if the offender knows why that is a mistake. If they don't? Then that's a great opportunity to educate. If they do, then explain why it's offensive. If the offender continues to offend, then by all means fire away.

Sorry but I do not know where that falls on the schedule. Is that a "yay, nearly there" or "sh-t, still so far to go"?

I am just a caveman. I fell on some ice and later got thawed out by some of your scientists. Your world frightens and confuses me!

I'll be on hormones for the rest of my life.

Too bad you can't send me a she/her button.

And I admit, sometimes I worry about you cis people. Are you okay?

I prefer you people.

Dumb question - how bad are the side effects if any? Will the dosage you're currently taking remain the same or will you ever be able to lower it?

Ah. That makes sense. Better living through chemistry.

Not terrible, actually. There is occasional water weight, mood swings, cramping, and wanting to eat everything, but it's not so bad.

The only thing is I thought breasts would materialize and they didn't.

As for dosage, it depends on my endocrinologist. Currently on a 0.4 ml shot of synthetic estrogen once a week. And I take 100 mg dose of Progesterone as well.

The testosterone blockers will stop once I have an orchiectomy at least.

Ok, thanks for sharing. Keep venting here whenever you need to. We may be neanderthals but we wish you the best.

Wish I could share the Beach Boys style-parody song I remember from a group called The Dan Orr Project when I was in high school "Little Jugs Need Lovin' Too".

Lighten up, Francis.

Re: Gender Studies I

In terms of my breasts, they're there. They might get bigger on their own, they might not. In the interim, I can either run marathons or have breasts. Can't have both right now.

What I look like at 20 months. The smile certainly wasn't there 20 months ago.
