I do not give donations to people making unsolicited requests in my mentions.

I give as much as I can each month to people I know. If I have extra to give away it goes to requests I see in my timeline from people I actually follow.

Quote posting me for donations is an excellent way to get blocked.

pre legalization a partner of mine and her roomates ate too much weed brownie and she callled me to ask me if there was any risk and I told her the only risk was being laughed at for calling an ambulance cause they ate too many weed brownies

that actually worked to settle her down ha

Calling on my ancestors for guidance but the only one who answers is a weird eutherian rodent-mammal from the early cretaceous period. "EAT BERRY SLEEP UNDER ROCK" it says. Pretty good advice

Anyway I think DIY is awesome for those it can work for I'd just like to see more acknowledgement that it's not a meaningful option for a lot of trans people.

it's not a cure all.

So how do we affirm and support each other regardless of our medical access and history?

As a non binary person I wasn't sure what a hormonal transition would look like and feel like for me. I don't have an easy societal model of "sex" to aspire to. Getting to ease into that transition over time was critical for me to feel out where I wanted to be.

Ezekiel Bones @jjofbc.bsky.social · 4h

and like I want to emphasize that 1 pump every two days was REVOLUTIONARY for me. it had a dramatic impact on my pre-menstrual dysphoria disorder

Ezekiel Bones @jjofbc.bsky.social · 4h

That kind of slow and fucking beautiful and lovely transition would not have been possible via injection

So yeah it is just hella disappointing to see transition collapsed into this one size fits all thing,

It's impoverished, and it erases a lot of genuine needs and experiences

Ezekiel Bones @jjofbc.bsky.social · 4h

I can also apply gel to areas that I want to grow more hair and not to areas I don't. It gives me more control over my transition than I would have with an injection.

I started T at 1 pump every two days and gradually titrated that up to 4 pumps a day over 3 years.

Ezekiel Bones @jjofbc.bsky.social · 4h

gel works great for me. I like being able to titrate my t levels to my needs and my cycle. I am not a man and don't want to have high T levels all the time

Ezekiel Bones @jjofbc.bsky.social · 4h

I am on gel cause having really regular and stable t levels is like 90% of the benefit for me, having a big huge testosterone spike followed by a long tail of decline would fuck my mental health

Ezekiel Bones @jjofbc.bsky.social · 4h

Like I feel grateful and lucky that I have and endo and a T prescription but if I lost my insurance I would not be able to afford the hormones that are right for me and are working great for me

you can say just use injection etc but I don't think it is fungible like that

Ezekiel Bones @jjofbc.bsky.social · 4h

Like I just don't think it's helpful to blanket ignore that folks have different HRT needs and not all of the are accessible and for a lot of people they are only accessible if you're willing to get extremely sketchily sourced drugs that may not be in a dose that matches your needs

Ezekiel Bones @jjofbc.bsky.social · 4h

my T gel would cost me like $700 a month if I didn't have insurance

yeah I could find some debateable thing to inject myself with that called itself testosterone to inject myself with but the HRT I am on that feels good and is right for me isn't cheap or easily accessible

Ezekiel Bones @jjofbc.bsky.social · 4h

yeah it was the kind of gift that made me feel really seen in a good way and that is so special!

the rain is going hard enough to be musical again. when I have nowhere to be and no desire to leave the house I love the rattle and plink of heavy rain
