My brother keeps trying to have normal dudes interactions with me and failing.

I have a thing in the brain that makes weed not really work on me and he keeps getting more and more potent weed to have a normal bro evening with me. It just tastes nastier.

He tries to teach me his group's handshakes and I forget them in two seconds.

He takes me to their hunting trips and I just start looking at plants and teaching his friends to make flower crowns.

Then he tries to have a girls night with me and we end up drinking beer and making sexist jokes.

I pity him.

You know, this has come up enough times that I think I need to ask

WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP ASSUMING I'M TRANS?

Its so weird. Just... why? What did I say that ever implied that?

hey guys how comfortable are you with gender swapping? I wanted to draw some designs, but I saw some trans people saying they're not cool for the community

[searchingforproofsthatimwrong]

I feel like every single woman who described herself as cis ends up "coming out" as some Flavor of trans. And honestly that's not surprising : once you start understanding what a woman is under gender ideology you obviously won't want to be called one anymore.

doin’ some research and havin’ some thoughts

I like joke sometimes about donating my uterus but I was thinking about it again recently in light of an upcoming birthday. In a few months I’ll be 29, nearly 30, and like - don’t want kids. Biological clock is not ticking, if there was a chance it’s well past. I’ll adopt all my friends kids as nieces nephews and nieblings, so like... I’ll leave my impact on them that way. 

So I’m actually looking at what would be involved in donating my uterus to someone who wanted to bear their own children and like, yes - it’s a long arduous process, and the viability of pregnancies still seems to be hesitant bc they’re trying to be careful dealing with this “new” proceedure (like 6 years, but still relatively new when you think that testing it out comes with a ~9 mo. process, right? Plus medical validity etc., etc.) Also, there’s not a lot of information I’ve been able to find about living donors and what’s involved in the process for them, which is a liiiiittle unnerving.

But the thing that hit me really hard, and I don’t know why, was reading about a procedure one woman had delivering her child with her new uterus, and came across the phrase “she had a c-section and then her uterus was explanted” and I was like - either that word doesn’t mean what I think it does, or it’s a typo or something.

I looked it up, and it looked like there were a few definitions that didn’t really confirm or deny, but after a more thorough search for other stories regarding transplants, I confirmed that it’s the removal of the uterus after childbirth? And for some reason that Really Really Got me. like, made me feel really sick? The explanation went on to say usually they removed it after a birth or two, which, SO LONG AS THE PERSON USING THE UTERUS CONSENTS TO IT, is really fine? I mean, at that point it’s done what it needs to do, right? but for some reason, it’s really churning up my gut.

The idea of not having a uterus myself isn’t a problem, either. I have nightmares about being pregnant. I used to have anxiety attacks every month over being pregnant or having late periods, whether I’d had sex or not (turns out mine are just irregular. Yay. /s). But for some reason, the idea of someone giving birth and then having their uterus removed, after going through so much to get it? 

I mean... I don’t want to give birth, I don’t want to be pregnant, but I know that some people really do, and I wonder if it’s worth it to them. I mean, it probably is. I have cousins and family who have touted the joys of being pregnant, so it exists, but... 

It’s also weird because I’m like -- Why remove it after a few kids? That thing is still loaded with eggs! But I’m not like that when it’s in me, so it’s like one of those “if you won’t do it yourself, you don’t get to complain about how it’s done.” It also leads to a probably gross question of how many times can a uterus be transplanted before you shouldn’t transplant it any more. (the answer is probably once). I just don’t know why it’s winding up my guts so much...

The other thing is, after I do more research, if I do go through with this, I’d really want a trans woman to have my uterus. I want to be able to give that to her, and help broaden the scope of research for making it a more viable option for trans women. And the sites that I’ve found so far are generally for cis women, tho a few of the medical sites mention the process for providing trans women with transplants too, which is good. There’s just not a lot of information about being like “hey I would like to get rid of this and give it to a woman who needs it!” 

Mmmmmmmleh. gotta think a bit on this. good news is, the places I’ve seen so far don’t accept people under 30 so I have a year and a month to think it over.
