One last picture that I don’t completely hate.

It’s so funny how I can tell I don’t really look obese anymore even though I’m still very, very obese. I went shopping the other day and picked up several outfits in the regular size range (16-18) that actually fit me correctly… for the first time in 7 years.

I’ve come to the conclusion that IM estradiol valerate > sublingual estradiol. It’s been a bumpy few weeks getting started… but 3 injections later, I honestly already feel so much healthier than I ever did on sublingual, and I’m definitely not imagining it.

Doing a social media cheat day to give an update on my weight loss progress. 🙃
I've lost ~10 more pounds. I'm currently at 239 pounds. I have about 60 more to lose before reaching the boundary of healthy and overweight.

I might need to take a break from bluesky while I’m figuring out the best way to balance everything going on in my life right now. I keep venting to the void and I’m sure I just sound crazy and depressing.

Another thing that bothers me is when cis people are unknowingly afflicted by outgroup homogeneity bias.
Having met one or two trans people, they assume the rest are essentially clones.

You started this life a person. You were worthy of respect, love, kindness, and dignity on arrival. You have been— and always will be— worthy. You have been— and always will be— a person.

Yeah, there is so much I still don't understand about SVD (it ties together a ton of unintuitive concepts), and I'm pretty far from having the algorithm memorized. I'll have to keep reviewing as the semester starts.

your very existence is troubling, enraging, and distracting as hell for some of the shittiest people on earth so no, i’m afraid you may not kill yourself rn

Okay. For today, my review topics are SVD and covariance.

Despite the constant stream of harassment, one of the discoveries that hurt me the most when I was younger is that so many cis people assume a visible trans woman’s presentation is for them. They get to present for themselves, but if a visible trans woman does, that woman is only “trying to pass.”

Yeah. For now I’m just going to focus on school and getting healthy again. Everything else is noise. If it confuses/concerns cis people, good. If it angers the true trans, well, those awful people deserve to be angry. Maybe I’ll live a halfway normal life when I’m in my mid-to-late 30s, if I make it

Currently reviewing Eigen vectors & values, determinant from row echelon form, SVD. Ugh, what I wouldn’t give to pursue a second bachelor’s in mathematics. I’m constantly reviewing and learning new math on the fly in some unideal machine learning context. Would be nice to have a math background.

Okay, so I just found out that the medication I was taking also changes fat distribution, depositing most fat in the midsection and significantly increasing visceral fat. So yeah, I’m really glad I’m almost fully tapered off of it. Reversing this is going to take a lot of patience.

The lyrics feel a bit generic, but the production is great, and I’d happy destroy my hearing to listen to this drop at full volume on repeat lol. 😍

Current weight loss progress (featuring bedhead 😜). Most of my fat is in my upper body, which is partly genetic and partly because of the few years I was inconsistent with E.

Okay, so… without insurance and with GoodRx… it looks like spiro and prog come out to about $30 a month (for a 3 month supply)… and Estradoil Valerate should be about $100-150 per month. So, in total, it’s looking like HRT will be $180 a month now, plus $66 (1/3 of a gender affirming appointment).
