Three weeks ago I marked nine years on Testosterone.

I didn't celebrate it then because I was in the middle of a multi-month battle to be allowed to stay on it, despite not producing my own hormones and simply wanting to remain on the exact prescription I'd had for nine years without any problems.

I made a tile for World AIDS Day at the @lgbtfdn.bsky.social Liverpool wellbeing group last night. I'm really not the best artist 😅... I probably should have made TAF or TDF to go with it. Enjoy your half PrEP, don't develop any resistance?!

Just had someone I didn't know stop me and thank me for chairing a UCU meeting, saying I did a good job. This is my first term as chair, I'm pretty chuffed

There are five spots up for grabs for co-option onto the UCU LGBT+ members' standing committee. It's not much in terms of time commitment, but getting to shape the union's response to *gestures at everything* is a big reward

Today is my first International Men's Day since a panel of experts decided I am a man (what a sentence)

To celebrate, I have made my boyfriend a card. I trust this is how men everywhere are celebrating

"and knowledge concerning PrEP and gender affirming hormones was lower still."

HRT and PrEP are usually safe to take together, with a couple of exceptions (cabotegravir & T, for example). You can check our website to be sure.

"genes-based elements in benefit calculations" is a phrase I have just read about having a pension while trans. Please, tell me what genes these are? Did USS genotype me? Are they genotyping all the intersex people too?

I might start an award. "Most awkward well-meaning response".

I'm still ruminating on this, after the LGBT+ conference.

Should we, as queer people, be extending love to the so-called gender criticals? It's not impossible that there are women within the movement with genuine (transphobic!) fears that we could heal if we listened and showed that we were safe
