horror movies are so much scarier when the actors look like an average sampling of the human population. and the house is a little messy
when everyone has veneers and the house is pristine and tastefully decorated: (in the back of my mind) these people were hand-selected for visual appeal. this is a set. this is a story
when the actor has a little acne and there are dirty dishes in the sink: aaaaahhhhh this is just like Me and My House ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!

one of the most depressing things to explain to people just starting transition is that there’s a 60/40 chance their doctors are either genuinely ignorant about their care needs or else they genuinely want their trans patients to go on a menopause crash-out dose so they go insane from imbalanced hormone levels, think “transitioning is actually making me worse and unhappier,” and quit. and both of these doctors will prescribe you 150mg spiro and 1mg oral estradiol and say things like “most transgender women actually prefer to not use progesterone supplements”
It’s okay! Here’s all I know about progesterone, as dumbed down as possible:
- First of all, Progesterone DOES have some side effects like increased libido & drowsiness, so docs usually recommend:
- Start with 100mg til you figure out how it affects you
- Most tgirls i know move their dose up to 200mg+ eventually
- Only use micronized progesterone (the soft gelcaps), NOT progestin (the pressed pills).
- Every doctor will prescribe progesterone “FOR ORAL USE ONLY”, but it absorbs better if taken rectally.
- Side effects are also different between oral & rectal dosing
- It’s more fun to take rectally imo :p
- Progesterone will raise your t levels, so be aware & adjust your E dose accordingly
Hope this helps!
Also shout-out to Transfeminine Science if you’re interested in looking at the research yourself:

who cares if you don’t fully “get” the weird postmodernist novel on your first read, or if the experimental arthouse film is opaque to you on your first viewing? you are not being graded. you are not being scored. there is value in the attempt. every time i’ve read House of Leaves or watched Blue Velvet, I’ve gotten something new from it. the idea that you might not “get” something and therefore shouldn’t bother with it is so silly to me

leopardheart-deactivated2023022:
the concept of being out of someone else’s league in friendship or love is so unnerving… the whole point of forging connection between another soul is to be forgiving of differences and curious about the Other, not to look for yourself in others… leagues aren’t real and everyone is worthy of someone else’s interest, even if no one is entitled to someone else’s interest. that’s how it really is without the false illusion of any concept of worthiness getting in the way

Environmental storytelling or something like that
Interesting how the transfeminine version got marked mature literally *as* I posted it, very clearly hitting some sort of automated filter, while the cis version was untouched by the filter even though it was otherwise identical

can we please acknowledge that tma/tme is a meaningful distinction? a justice of the US supreme court is openly saying that it’s legal to discriminate against trans women because the same laws do not target trans men. the transmisogyny is what makes it permissible. your transphobia is fine as long as it has carveouts for men.
