Mirrors. The source of my power; my ultimate weakness.

Damn, just got cozy to do my shot, opened up my kit, and I forgot a syringe. I have needles! But now must get uncozy to go refill on syringes.

Dudes of the world: I have a challenge for you. This one’s real simple, but like most simple-but-important things, actually DOING it is shockingly hard. Ready? Okay, here we go. When women tell you a situation isn’t safe for them, just believe them. Take it at face value. No questions, no negotiating. That’s it! Off you go. And #boost this on your way.

I ask so happy to report that I KNOW things about Roman History, but I no longer CARE about Roman History, or even about whether I know things about it. #TransFemme #TransJoy

Reposted with permission from a more private friend: hey awesome! If you have Global Entry, and you get a legal name change along with your passport updated with name and gender, you do *not* actually have to travel to an acceptance center! You can submit a support ticket here: help.cbp.gov/s/questions They warn it takes 3-8 weeks but they got mine done in under a week...

Fun trans thing of the day: trying to get medical staff to believe you when you say you don’t want to be alone behind closed doors with a man who has power over you in the form of medical authority of any kind, because that has gone unacceptably wrong in my recent past. It has taken three conversations, including sending the resident back out to find someone before I’d consent to having him in the room with me. He’s still looking for someone, going on ten minutes later. I’m legitimately baffled that this is such an unusual request, apparently. 1/6
