done trans, am crimes af

#pottery trimming from last week

I actually do think there could be an interesting story about a trans man/masc who comes from a race of creatures that are all women but if you make a transmasc OC or trans one of the existing characters the most annoying people alive accuse you of a transmisogyistic hate crime so like. I'm good.

A screenshot of Tahani from The Good Place, a very feminine woman standing in front of and gesturing at a clearly photoshopped picture of herself on the wall wearing a pink dress and sun hat holding a basketball. She's saying "I was such a tomboy in high school. See." There'a nothing even remotely tomboyish about her.

No shade to folks who do like it normal style but if the entire cast of your story women you don't have an excuse. Irritates me when people say the game is feminist when the reason there are no real tomboys is because this is the most masc a woman can get before the average man thinks they're gross.

Anyway tbh this is main reason I can't engage with Uma Musume. The two tomboys are not tomboys they're not even gnc, not even a little. They just wear pants sometimes. If the game/anime wont make room for me, I see no point it making room for it.

Seeing trans people get excited for tomboys who literally are not tomboys legit feels gross. Y'all should understand this. Y'all should want to make space for masc women. But hardly anyone ever does.

I love anime but so much of it claims to have tomboys but when I check it out they all wear makeup, girly jewelry, and frilly dresses covered in lace and bows. It legit makes me nauseous. There is no space in the world for masc women and it hurts to be reminded of that over and over and over.

Being a hater but eery time there's a tomboy character in something that wears a dress or makeup and girly jewelry I and every other butch and tomboy and gnc woman should get $500 for emotional damages.

Most countries have already moved to EV and hybrid production...more for economy than this, but even in states like Texas and the mid west where gas is king, people are moving more to EVs

On the other hand:

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

The death of fossil fuels is really something, I gotta say. I don't see how most countries on earth come out of this wanting to be dependant on oil, it's proven to be a massive liability.

It turns out Democratic voters do not want collaborators.

Not enough about this. 3 Dem incumbents in North Carolina who voted with Republicans to override vetos lost big time to primary challengers. Let that be a message.

Fr tho if anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears!! This is so dumb that I refuse to back down. It makes no sense, I know whoever making the decision either isn't a doctor or straight up isn't a fucking human at all, bcs every human I explain this to agrees with me!!!

But yeah @ United Healthcare I'm TRYING TO SAVE YOU MONEY!! And I know you don't want me in the ER bcs you CALL ME every time I go there reminding me that urgent care exists like I don't know that and wish I could go there instead. But they can't place IV lines!!! IT MAKES NO SENSE!!!!!!

I also get extremely painful acne and I have OCD so I risk infection whenever there's something on my face that can be picked at and the birth control completely eradicates my acne like nothing else ever has.

I genuinely think I'm going to have to go to court over this. I need to get a job and I can't hold one down if every month I need half a week off!! To be in the fucking ER!!! And my fiancé also has to take time off bcs we're usually up ALL NIGHT every visit. So raw dogging it just isn't viable.

I have had my appeal denied 4 times now. I get told something different every time I call and the last person I spoke to ignored me when I requested the information of whoever decided my claim because it DOESN'T MAKE ANY FUCKING SENSE so that trick doesn't even work for me!!

Sometimes more than one. Every month I have to spend a day or two in the ER behind these migranes.

Now forgive me if I can't do math, but I think a $1k ER visit costs signifactly more than the $40 the extra box of patches costs. The full cost is less than $100.

So like. WHAT THE FUCK.

And the extra kicker is I need to be on it continuously to skip my period because my period triggers my migranes and literally every single month like clockwork my period gives me a debilitating migrane that does not respond to any at home remedy and ALWAYS 100% OF THE TIME requires an ER vist.

So I can't switch to the generic, Zafemy, because it gives me hellish rashes. I have EDS my skin is delicate and very easily irritated by ashesive. Two days of trans tape takes a week of recovery. Bandaids leave scars. The adhesive matters and it's 100% different bcs Xulane doesn't give me rashes!!!

Basically, I've been on every form of birth control and the only thing that works for what I need (acne control, skipping periods, mood improvement, extremely low effort) is Xulane patches. And while Zafemy has the same medication dose, the ashesive and quality are both worse and fuck up my skin.

Hey on the other hand if any of you know anyone who works at United Healthcare maybe tell them that I'm trying to save them money and their excuses are and continue to be batshit nonsense!!

God yeah, I have what's probably mcas and I am genuinely nervous about medication allergies or just allergies to the other stuff in there :/ I already can't take gabapentin suddenly or two makor nausea meds, and no compounding pharmacy takes insurance.

up it got way worse. I started being sensitive to things like that & most drugs use different "fillers." & if it's one I can't tolerate then it's a major problem. It can be something small but when you're immunocompromised one grain of sand in the microchip can fuck it all up.

I'm fighting my insurance rn because they want me to switch from the brand name birth control patches I use to the generic which I can't use because it gives me rashes. Even a change in adhesive formulation can make or break a drug. They might have the same meds but they aren't equivalent.
