a society that allows people to starve when there is food has failed. like. that’s it.

People arguing with this saying, “why do people deserve food for free???” is honestly just further proof of the failure.

Steadily,

my skin fragments and decorticates,

revealing 

one intimate stratum on top another of

who I could have been,

should have been,

thought I was,

what others have built me to be;

Carefully tacking the skins to me with the harshest implements.

And one day I will be free from every remaining strand--

A weight gone that once laid my feet to the floor

impermanently.

And I will arise from this recognizably,

but undeniably,

myself.

You know what sucks? Having a breakdown over something you KNOW is stupid. Like it’s still making you feel sick, and beyond upset but you can’t tell anyone because you KNOW its ridiculous and no one will GET it so you just lay there suffering and wanting to cry with no out put or way to fix or work through the feelings.

3 month update

I have to say, so many changes have happened in just a short 3 months and I'm ecstatic!

- BACK ACNE

- Hair darkening on my legs, butt, back, upper lip.

- Crying less, being able to handle hardships better than before.

- Muscles becoming more defined, especially on my stomach.

- So much sweat, especially in my sleep.

- Did I mention back acne?

11.5.18

On 11.2.18 I got my very first injection. Dr. Desanctis went over the possible side effects once again, had a nurse administer my shot, and sent me on my way. I am definitely feeling on top of the world!

you are deserving of love, I promise you are not unloveable.

trans rights are human rights. do not let anyone, even the president of the u.s., tell you they’re not. trans people are real, they are here, and they will not be silenced.

Why have you tagged your post in mtf, you idiot. Stay in your tag. I don't wanna be bombarded with transmen posts/pics when I am in mtf tag.

Comments like this make me laugh. I love seeing the entire lgbtq+ community coming together and being able to relate to others' transitions and being able to support each other. Shall we not argue of something as insignificant as a tag?Regardless of the fact that I accidentally clicked on this tag to place under my post, I'm going to keep it. I wasn't going to answer this but I feel it's a great opportunity to tell anyone who stumbles across my page that I welcome any one of any journey to connect with me. I support you all.

My T day is November 2nd, 2018!

10.17.18

All of my tests are now completed, ending with my ultrasound where they found a cyst and free fluid, which they decided is nothing to be particularly concerned about. I am now waiting for a call back which will, hopefully, give me my t date!

Blood work

My blood work came back with a point of concern; my testosterone levels (which at a normal range would be between 2 and 45) are at 49. This may be because of a pre-existing condition or simply something that I was born with, but is something that will add some extra health checks along the way.

Doctor Consultation

Today, August 21, 2018, I had a consultation about beginning testosterone treatments with Dr. Kelli Desanctis in Erie, PA. My parents were present with me, here's a run-down of the appointment:

I had vitals checked, then was asked of any family health conditions or present health conditions. My parents were told the effects of the hormone and risks involved. I was asked how I came to the point of seeking treatment. We were told the irreversible effects and vice-versa, then I was told what I needed to begin treatments; a letter of mental stability from my therapist that also diagnosed me with gender dysphoria (which she explained to my parents), some health checks for things that may be of concern, and blood work.

In the end she told my parents that she understands their grief and knows that it may be hard to see their child transition, and that family therapy wouldn't be a bad idea in this time of understanding.

She was SO nice and understanding, and I am so excited to be in her care. She even said that treating transgender patients has become one of her favorite parts of the job. :)
