I sure would eat those top-shelf steaks well-done if I got the chance. Why is there so much hate for well-done steak? WHY?

Trans kids know themselves far better than you do, far better than you give them credit for.

So you'd rather I go through puberty in a body I don't identify with? Fuck that noise. I should have done this a long time ago already. Thing was, I didn't have knowledge of puberty blockers and HRT back then, nor the language to articulate my dysphoria. I didn't know any other trans or nonbinary people; my only exposure to such people back then was through Jerry Springer and the odd TLC documentary. What she's saying comes off as cis-splaining. Would you tell someone to go through a puberty they don't identify with? I sure as fuck wouldn't. That said, I might at least ask my hormone doctor if she can offer any help on getting myself back out there. I still have the hots for her, though. There may be plenty of other women out there but there's only one of her. If she expresses any interest, however unlikely, I'm sure she might make that known. Even then, I think she'd be discreet about it. Hell, I had her authorize a new round of refills on my estradiol recently; I could kiss her for that. And when I say "kiss her", I don't mean in the same way I'd kiss my grandmother.

You sound like my Aunt "Maude" trying to talk me out of transitioning. If you're trying to talk me out of it, you're not going to move me one millimeter. I'm already a year in and have given it ten billion percent.

Jazz Jennings says hello. She transitioned starting young and thus avoided going through the wrong puberty. I envy her for getting to transition that young. I wish I was able to do the same.

Again, I eat what I like. To hell with the food police and their "rules"! I'll eat my steak well-done and my cereal dry. When I eat tacos, I just put meat and veggies on them.

Giving kids puberty blockers isn't new. They've been doing it for cis kids undergoing precocious puberty since 1993. All puberty blockers do is hit the "pause" button on puberty. If you go off the blockers, puberty kicks in right where it left off, no harm done.

Almost a couple months ago, I made some chocolate halva. Offered some to my HRT doc but she declined. Eh, more for me. Didn't tell her it was homemade, though.

Viele dank. I'll keep these in mind.

I know Amazon sells large-size women's shoes. I might try them at some point. When I last looked at women's shoes online, I tried Hot Topic. All the stuff they had was too small for my big-ass feet. One of my mom's coworkers suggested trying Shoe Show; they sell shoes for women with large feet. Many options in larger sizes are often sold as crossdresser-style, and many of the mainstream brands top out at U.S. size 10 or 11. For the longest time, I rolled with black Converse high-tops (which I still keep around), mainly because I was confused about converting from men's to women's sizes. A trans man with small feet can simply buy his shoes from the young men's section of the store. But us trans gals (especially if we started with big feet)? Shoe-shopping can be harder. Women's shoes also run narrower than men's shoes so, depending on the manufacturer, I might need a wide width. Of course, I might see a drop in shoe size as long as I'm on HRT. This isn't due to changes in the bones of my feet but rather the ligaments and muscles. Similarly, I may notice slimming of my hands and wrists. But that takes years to happen.

We tried letting capitalists own the means of production and it FAILED. It belongs in the hands of the workers, in this case, voice actors, writers, directors, and other staff who do REAL work. Capitalists don't dub anime. WORKERS do.

The veggies weren't burnt. They're BLACKENED. And I cooked them from frozen.

Don't stop at paying the voice actors better. Have them seize the means of production, too.

My mom, aunt, and gender therapist have all suggested I look into some transgender support groups. Think I might give that a try. But I still want to land a nice girl to settle down with. And at 35, I feel like I have a lot of lost time to make up for. I'm not getting any younger. And believe me, if I'd known as an adolescent in the late '90s and early 2000s that I could have gone on puberty blockers followed by feminems, I'd have transitioned a long time ago already.

That's far easier said than done. I get fixated on a single person easily while not considering others. And part of me doesn't want anyone else but said doc, goddamn it. All too often, unrequited love has been an issue for me. There was this one girl I liked back in 9th grade; she turned out to be a right-wing Christian kook, COVIDiot, and anti-vax Karen all at the same time (which I discovered earlier this year). Another girl I liked from 11th to 12th grade, I mentioned in an earlier post here. She was this beautiful biracial girl that I got along well with, but I was always afraid she'd reject me for not being black. I later learned that she was a religious chick, and as an atheist, religious belief is a big turn-off for me no matter what faith or deity it is. And this current girl? I like her so much it hurts despite barely knowing her. If I'm going to look for a sugar mama, though, I might go where the rich people in my area go. There must be some rich gay, bi, and pan girls around. Bonus points if they like birds because I have a feather-baby myself, a blue-fronted amazon parrot named Ricky.

I don't put ketchup on my steaks. I like them well-done but I never put ketchup on them. I eat them as-is or put hot sauce on them.
