Emacs enjoyer!
i’m just happy that i can sometimes smile on photos now. it’s a new skill to learn and i guess practice makes perfect.

i did speech therapy for a couple months and it was great so i'd recommend it to anyone.

but yeah, i'll collect details for you at my next support group session and DM ya. this is all done at mt. sinai in new york... seemed like this girl got it scheduled within a few weeks of wanting it, and recovery was quick.

they will make you do speech therapy before and after.

yeah, it's really easy for me to revert too. for me it's mostly the "familiar listeners" effect... i can do it all day for strangers but basically give up with people that i know. i don't know why my brain is like this but apparently it's pretty common.

my impression with voice is that it's all your brain doing brain things, regardless of your anatomy. it thinks "to get attention and be loud i need to use a really low pitch" and then you start doing that thing. it's very tiring. stupid brain.

different procedures different results, sample size of 1, etc.

my impression is that after vfs you still sound masculine if you get lazy and stop doing resonance, unfortunately. but when you do it right you sound really feminine. so it really improves your best, but doesn't really improve your worst.

i am in this voice support group and someone got vfs early in december and it really made a difference to their best possible voice. my impression from talking to her is that you still have to go out of your way to adjust your voice, but the most feminine you can get is more feminine.

grok, i assume, recommends keeping your ketamine levels between 100-200pg/mL

fuck ‘em up

yeah i’m not sure why people are mad about this. women need testosterone. 0 is not the right level for anyone.

i got a facial today from the person my mom goes to. "she said you were worried about coming out here, how is it?" "oh fine, everyone has been gendering me correctly"

not mentioning that it's 50/50 with my mom. she's the #1 offender out here. it is quite annoying.

my mom feeds her actual dogs grocery store rotisserie chicken. they don't like the dry food without some seasoned chicken on top.

this is how i realized my parents might be Well To Do
December 26, 2025 at 11:46 PM
gosh that's scary. i'm so sorry that happened.
December 26, 2025 at 11:28 PM

December 26, 2025 at 7:05 PM
