So yeah okay I've got some time.

Most people dismiss Orwell because he was a snitch and a traitor who collaborated with the British government to kill communists and queers.

Did you also know he was a rapist? Probably not because it tends to get talked about like this (from The Orwell Society):

First, the relationship was considerably more erotic than Jacintha, (conceived, after all, under Queen Victoria) could confess in print. Second, Eric proposed marriage to Jacintha before leaving for Burma, and was wounded by her rejection. Third, in September 1921, Eric tried at least half-heartedly to rape her, which naturally drove a wedge between them. We need to reevaluate her “solution to the problem of his life” in the light of this new intelligence.

She admitted that she and Eric had later engaged in what used to be called “heavy petting” (“some intimacy but not full intercourse” was how she put it). Jacintha also wrote Eric at least two erotically suggestive poems, one imagining herself as his vampire lover, the other envisioning the two of them reincarnated: Eric as Sarasate, the gipsy virtuoso, and herself as his violin.xiii It can probably be assumed that Jacintha was sending Eric some confusingly mixed messages.

First Appointment

I had my first appointment with a specialist gender doctor yesterday. (Technically, with an aspiring clilical psychologist helping the practice with screening, appointment with doctor will be the second one). See my previous post about preparing for the appointment: A very good…

See my previous post about preparing for the appointment: A very good friend took me for a long walk and a chat beforehand, which helped clear my head and tire me out a little to stop me worrying - really appreciated.

i’ve said it a million times: if your LGBTQ inclusivity doesn’t consider the added struggles that come with the intersectionality of the black trans experience, it’s not actual inclusivity. ESPECIALLY right now.

“In this environment that we’re in right now, it feels like an understatement to say that there’s misinformation being spread about this community. People really forget that we’re human beings.”

No One Was Helping Black Transgender Youth. So These Parents Stepped In.

A new nonprofit provides resources to Black families of transgender and nonbinary youth at a moment of heightened political hostility.

Like *genuinely* the fact I don't have to guess how long it will be before they get back in touch for next appointment is *so important* for making me less anxious. I am so glad.

Meme with two purple and fishnet wearing cartoon goth girls. The text says goth girls, then "with boots" (taller cartoon) and "without boots" (shorter).

I have edited it to cross out the boots text and replace with "trans" (tall) and "cis" (short)

Appointment went well I think?

Next appointment 31st. *really* happy I have a fixed date for next appointment.

Discworld QOTD, from Hogfather

The late (or at least severely delayed) Bergholt Stuttley Johnson was generally recognized as the worst inventor in the world, yet in a very specialized sense. Merely bad inventors made things that failed to operate. He wasn’t among these small fry. Any fool could make something that did absolutely nothing when you pressed the button. He scorned such fumble-fingered amateurs. Everything he built worked. It just didn’t do what it said on the box. If you wanted a small ground-to-air missile, you asked Johnson to design an ornamental fountain.

Mmm noodle soup (please excuse the fennel seeds they weren't supposed to make it to final dish but I messed up)

Bowl of noodle soup with pak choi, tofu, red chillis, beansprouts, and a few pesky fennel seeds floating.

It won't change anything immediately but the feeling of making progress is making me very happy.

Preparing

With my first gender appointment lined up for Monday, and now all booked, paid for and forms completed and returned - I have turned my mind to preparation. I have reached out to a number of groups of trans friends and acquaintances for advice and to hear their experiences of the process.…

Preparing

With my first gender appointment lined up for Monday, and now all booked, paid for and forms completed and returned - I have turned my mind to preparation. I have reached out to a number of groups of trans friends and acquaintances for advice and to hear their experiences of the process. I have also turned to dedicated resources - eg the TransActual guidance page on what to expect for first appointments.

OH MY GOD

THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER BOUGHT

A boy or girl with long red pigtails wearing a bee outfit. He or she has wings, a striped abdomen with cleavage, fishnets and thigh highs, and a black and yellow skirt with pleats and layers.
