The first step was accepting that I was powerless over my gender identity and that my life had become unmanageable.

The second step was coming to believe that transition could restore me to sanity.

And it has.

If my penis were its own sentient independent being aware of my surgical plans, then it might consider me a violent nihilistic extremist.

I can't fathom how any other being could reach such a conclusion about me.

Is there room for two of those in one shop?

That's a little less slutty than I was hoping for.

If you'll take me out on Halloween, I'll let you pick my costume.

I must be the exception that proves the rule. I've only had the car for 4 months though, not enough time for the garbage pile to accumulate.

if you get into a trans femme's car, you're either fighting for space with several layers of garbage and takeout bags, or it's unnervingly, almost serial-killer clean.

there is no inbetween.

Every "independent" you gain by throwing trans people under the bus will cost you 2 people on the left whose politics are about human rights.

Just educate centrists and ridicule fascists and you get both groups to vote Democrat.

New Cuck Times strikes again.

This is the truth. As a trans woman who occasionally cruises for dick on Grindr, it can be wild.

...misgendering directed at me (at this point) is deliberate and malicious. I've accepted I get read as female, even when up close & talking.

So even though I have to go in tomorrow (my day off) and file a harassment/hostile work environment complaint, there is a silver lining on the whole affair.

...has been telling me that I pass ever since we met. While I still see myself as clocky, the fact that 2 cis coworkers were equally as shocked to hear I've been getting misgendered leads me to confront the probability that my gender presentation has advanced at least far enough that any...

She also routinely and carefully misgenders me; careful to only do it while we're alone with dementia patients. As I was conveying this story to 2 separate coworkers, both seemed shocked that anyone would misgender me. Likewise, a local trans friend (one of the 3 not on bsky) was shocked. She...

I said "Fuck you" to a lead at work on Friday night. She really deserved it; she was bullying me after I'd been assaulted by 2 separate residents & refusing to give me space to wind down my own cptsd related hypervigilant state. & she was lying to our boss about it. But this isn't about that.

AIs are not persons, and ergo not entitled to human rights. They should be tightly controlled. I don't understand how any informed, sentient person can disagree with that stance.

Getting ratioed this hard will only make your emotional problems worse. You should try therapy instead of posting all your dumb thoughts.

Met with my therapist for the first time today, and they're awesome. They're genderqueer, autistic, and the perfect combination of laid back and attentive.

Eva finally sees herself 🏳️‍⚧️(she/her) @emcarlsen.bsky.social · 6d

Fair enough. No harm done.

Eva finally sees herself 🏳️‍⚧️(she/her) @emcarlsen.bsky.social · 6d

Sigh. If I must.

I'm just pointing out that the actual percentage in the population atvlarge is probably significantly higher than 5%.

And the respondents are all people who work with vulnerable populations, all of whom have already been screened for sexual offenses prior to employment.

I just got a "spark question" from the medical training program at work. It asked which was a symptom linked to sexual assault. 5% of respondents chose "High Self Esteem."

What the actual f?

Whoa. That could lead to a coup. That's a crazy idea.

Eva finally sees herself 🏳️‍⚧️(she/her) @emcarlsen.bsky.social · 7d

I was born here, and I keep coming back. When i lived in LA my friends thought I was crazy because I'd go outside every time it rained.

In other words, your soup making plans go to pot.

I'll show myself out.
