Got my ears re-pierced/stretched yesterday and had my first T shot earlier today. Today is the week I decided to do all the changes and I'm both excited and terrified and excitedterrified.

(Also started ID'ing as male starting a couple months or so ago, so that's also been a thing.)

Ah, time for me, a cisgender male, to finally unwind after a long day by engaging with a story that features my favorite trope,

"Character that is - through circumstances outside of their control - put into a new body, eventually getting discovered as some form of 'imposter,' but are ultimately embraced by the new community they find themselves in (and honestly feel so much happier to be this way within it)"

Love feeling a totally normal amount of catharsis from these stories!

i gotta say i'm a little tired of the "don't sexualize consent" discourse. like i get why it exists and all but how are you gonna say "can i fuck you" without any eroticism involved. are you gonna stop making out to t-pose with a lampshade on your head in order to completely desexualize your question. are you gonna stand on one foot wearing a snorkel mask. are you gonna do a handstand with your cat trying to climb your pants. are you gonna cartwheel into the fridge. are you gonna push a button on your bedside table that makes your alexa say "can i eat your pussy". are you gonna make a minimum wage walmart worker write "let's touch our genitalia together if you're cool with it" on a cake.

Given the bullshit going on in the Supreme Court right now, I did a little cut-n-paste….

Anyone with a uterus should take the following precautions and advise family and friends to do the same.

Make Sure Your Birth Control Schedule is Set for the Future

Get your birth control automated and take back control. First, research all your options like pill, patch, ring, implant, or shot. From there, you can get information from trusted birth control websites like Planned Parenthood, Pandia Health, or a .edu. Once you determine which birth control you want to use, check whether you can get it delivered. For instance, you can get the pill delivered right to your mailbox when signing up with Pandia Health.

Get Emergency Contraception Ahead of Need

Accidents happen! Being extra prepared is never a bad idea. Get emergency contraception in order to terminate an accidental pregnancy. Also, know that Plan B and its generics do NOT work for individuals with a BMI of 26 or greater. The IUD also acts as effective birth control to block pregnancy ahead of an accident. There are two types: hormonal IUDs (Mirena, Liletta, Kylena, Skyla) and copper IUDs (Paraguard). Buying emergency contraception or getting an IUD as soon as possible are effective ways to prevent pregnancy from occurring, especially as demand increases due to predicted restricted access to abortion.

Consider skipping the placebo pills (a.k.a those that don’t contain hormones) and taking the active pills continuously. When there is no drop in hormones, bleeding will not occur, which is not only convenient but also beneficial for your health. Skipping your period decreases your risk of developing ovarian & endometrial cancer. Additionally, the fewer period products you use, the less you contribute to landfills.
