When you're naturally starting to lose weight at a natural pace because of hormones finally balancing out due to medication and the doc wants you to go on a restrictive diet to lose weight faster by cutting out ripe bananas. Sorry doc, I'll follow some of this, but nah. I'd rather die at 60 happy and eating my daily banana than live to 80 by following a restrictive diet that will cause me to yo-yo weight and develop eating disorders that I'm prone to anyway and be miserable

successfully managed to cook serve and take my tea to my room without my grandmother spotting it and yelling at me for 'overeating' because no matter what I eat or do I'm doing it wrong and she gets to yell at me because of it. and shouting matches are even worse when you're hungry and you're hypoglycaemic

My mom, out of nowhere at least five times a week: "You need to be on this very specific diet and eat no sugar or salt whatsoever."
---
My doctor: "So what is your appetite like"
Me: "Oh, I usually eat small meals throughout the day because if I eat a regular sized meal then I get sick. I also know when I need to eat salt and sugar and protein because of very specific cravings I get."
My doctor: "Oh, so you're intuitively eating. That's what I would recommend to someone with unexplained digestive problems and chronic nausea. I think you listening to your body and your cravings has probably been a big help in preventing serious medical problems. I don't see any excessive amounts of LDL cholesterol or salt or sugar in your blood so it's not like there's any proof your diet is poor that can't be explained by digestive problems so let's figure out what's going on."

thinking about like. actually taking medical steps for being trans. like I was just gonna get my uterus out with some doc that was like "you gotta wait a year bc I Care About You™️ and maybe u will change your mind" which was fucking weird and I started crying so I couldn't argue
but my partner is encouraging me to reach out to the transgender clinic at our uni to get more info (esp regarding insurance) and maybe a better doc lmfao. and I was filling out the form and it's like "do u want hormones? do u want a metoidoplasty? tell us your gender expression and what u worry about for coming out" and im like YES I DO WANT THAT ACTUALLY but I'm so worried I won't be taken seriously because I want to keep my breasts and keep dressing femininely. like I wanna be cute and pretty and also so fuckin hairy and have a penis is that too much to ask. it is too much to ask I just know it 😭
