Fun on Public Transit!

My city has a very robust public transit system. I do recognize and appreciate this fact. Sometimes, though, I get home with stories...

I am on my way to work. I pull the stop signal and start scooting out to stand and exit. I notice a woman go to the front and presume she is deboarding as well. Unusual as I am typically the only one for my stop. That us when I catch what she is saying. She is i forming the driver that it isn't her stop.

She did not do this at any other stop in the last ten minutes.

She did NOT pull the cord by accident. (I know as I pulled it.)

Strange.

The driver responds quietly and I can't hear his side. She looks over her shoulder at the man seated across the aisle from me. "He isn't getting off, either."

The bus is navigated to my spot and I haul myself toward the exit. The driver speaks yet again and this time the woman turn and looks directly at me. Standing, as you recall, by the door waiting for a full stop so I can get myself out of Doge.

"Okay," she huffs, exasperation carrying her voice like a battle cry, "but I don't need this stop!"

At this point I am stepping off onto cement and am striding away to the crosswalk. I have to wonder, is there any context in what the driver said that makes that not an egocentric shit show? I dearly hope there was.

I know that HRT gives you secondary sex characteristics in one direction or another, but we HAVE to stop telling nonbinary people that they “can’t pick and choose.” Of course, you can’t tell your testosterone that you’d rather not grow chest hair, but there are things you can do!

You could go on T so your voice drops and start shaving so you don’t grow a beard. You could start HRT and then stop once you get the permanent changes you like. You can pursue sterilization instead of bottom surgery. You can get top surgery without being on T. You can go on E and work out a bunch to bulk out your muscles. You can pursue laser hair removal or electrolysis to remove unwanted hair, with or without HRT. You could even just start hormones to see if you like it and then stop if it isn’t to your taste.

Obviously, you can’t order secondary sex characteristics a la carte, but we have to stop being so awful to nonbinary people. We should discuss the options we have, not shut down the conversation with “that’s what you get.”

Happy Birthday!

Minnow De Trout, my most beloved OTP calico cat, turned twenty years old today. She is a most excellent cat. She always takes her medication like a champion and reminds me to take my own and go to bed on time. Best Cat Ever!

The opposite of “manic pixie dream girl” is “depressed goblin nightmare man,” and, judging by this site, it’s just as attractive to some.

Would I wish for a functional metabolism is I could (my doctor couldn't figure that shit out, either)? Yes, yes I would. BUT I shill appreciate the hell out of thick girls. It's not binary.

just saw a ridiculous ed post talking about how "body positive people would all choose to be skinny if given the chance," and i just wanted to say as someone who used to be pretty small and gained a bunch of weight due to t and antidepressants i would literally never choose to be skinny or choose to go back. i love my strong, soft body. i love feeling big and solid. i love being warm and nice to hug and squeeze. i love being able to eat what i want and take care of my body the way it needs me to. and i don't just accept it because i have to- i feel hot, i feel attractive, i actively enjoy myself and the way my body looks. i prefer being this way to being thin. i would always choose this, every time, a million times over anything else

There was a Dark Time(tm) where I reminded myself every day that there were amazing video games I would want to play that had not even been made yet. As a result, I am still breathing. Nothing is too small. Norhing is too silly. It all counts.

the secret to life is always having something to look forward to

If someone needs to hear this today, including myself, then I hope it helps. Please keep trying your best to make the art and projects you wanna see in the world. I know it's hard with cruel people trying to bury so many diverse voices and ideas, but making and sharing that art matters so much.
