As a bi girl, dating men is terrible most of the time

Normally when I get home my dog is crazy excited to see me - I was gone for two days and when I got home this time she didn’t even look up. Bitch.

For anyone keeping track - I’m home now. I’m still not sure that I want to be alive, but I don’t think I want to die - so I’ll celebrate the improvement.

My transition
My dog

Every politician that has ever cut healthcare spending should be force fed hospital food.

Well I got very little sleep but now I’m at a new hospital in my own room and it even has rainbow curtains.

Being separated from my partner and sitting in a chair for 3 hours is not helping so far

It provided me community during early covid (which combined with transitioning and losing most of my family and friends was very isolating)

It’s how I met my wonderful partner

Femme bodies are frequently labeled as porn even while clothed. It’s terrible.
