Not to mention Spironolactone being a hundred side effects in a trenchcoat, and the anti-androgen of first choice in the United States.
They're excellent, this is such a great way of seeing.

I think my heart was broken in 2007, 2011, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2019, and 2025.
2008: Alone as I spiraled with dysphoric depression and sickness took my voice.
2011: Escaped an abusive relationship, worked continuously while recovering.
2016: Laid off and isolated, stalling on the cusp of transition from positive movement into steep decline.
2019: Ugh.
2022: Not a heart attack.

It struck so close to home for me, given California and the timeline. My partner was more Shahida than Taylor but it really rhymes in aspects.
Hir: Where's my transposer?

Me: Is a trans poser a repressor, or a- eh, cis person who practices drag?
I have never seen an ad for it, but the whole blurring mechanic is obnoxious and I have never seen such low signal, high noise "communication"
Taimi was hell. Did not stay installed past the second day.
'Look at your selfies, you clearly pass!'

Darling. Sweetie. Light of my life. I have never posted a picture where I do not look feminine, and each one has been carefully selected, for my comfort.
