Question for #trans folk who take #progesterone :

Is it just me, or is starting on prog a lot like PMS as far as the emotions are concerned? Yes, it's been a rough week, for unrelated reasons. But I've really been having a rough time emotionally this week too. I'm crying at the drop of a hat. Could it be stress from the other events? I'm sure that contributes. But this isn't how I usually process stress.

And so it begins. With the current court makeup, I am far from hopeful. This is step one of taking #GAHT from all #trans people, IMNSHO.

For those unaware: "Spoonie" is a term, somewhat of endearment, for people with various chronic health problems. It is drawn from "The Spoon Theory" by Christine Miserandino of "But You Don't Look Sick" fame. If you deal with chronic health concerns, it can be both helpful and validating.

I am a well educated #transgender woman, a demisexual lesbian, and an eclectic #Pagan. I am loving, and giving. I am a #caretaker type, who often fails miserably at self care.

I am a widow. The day that my wife died, the doctor came to me asking for my permission to stop all life-saving measures. I said “Call it” to the doctor, thereby finalizing her death.

I am complex, complicated, and worth the effort.

This author writes about coming out in the current political climate, at age 63, as #transgender .

I Came Out As Transgender At 63 Years Old

"It’s not something you dabble with and then grow out of. It’s a feeling we’ve spent a lifetime trying to ignore until we either die fearful and silent, or decide that living whole and happy is worth having people hate us."

Absolutely perfect, that. Thanks.

That's a tough question. The things I might want to change would fundamentally change who I am. So much could have been better in so many ways. For example, if I *could* tell young Janet "You're trans, accept that now", then I would almost certainly never have met Barbara. And yeah losing her was traumatic, but the time I had with her was so beautiful.

No, I don't think I'd have ended up in the same place. No, I wouldn't change anything.

I love me. That made me, me.

I hate asking for this like this. I know some of you saw that my salary got cut to nearly nothing.

I need $85 by Friday so my electricity doesn't get cut off. If you can help I would really appreciate it.

“There is no debate to argue here. Trans people have been here forever and aren’t going anywhere. There is no ideology here. It’s simple. Trans rights are human rights. Anything stating the contrary is wrong.”
