Dude too soon

Don’t forget pork roll and scrapple

(Actually let’s forget scrapple, it’s disgusting)

I’m happy too! It was surprisingly easy once I found the right doctor. I went to a GYN who specializes in perimenopause and she really listened to me, and had a whole plan for approaching it. I’m starting with progesterone, and in 3 months we’ll adjust the dosage if needed and add estrogen, and 3 months after that we’ll adjust again and add testosterone.

I was so relieved because the previous 2 GYNs I went to didn’t seem to understand. The first (a man in his 60s) said I was too young and my symptoms were probably from stress, not peri. 🙄 The second (a woman in her early 30s) said it was probably peri but there was nothing she could do since normally she’d prescribe birth control for my symptoms, but I was already taking it. This time I looked for a woman who was definitely old enough to have been through peri herself, and one who specializes in peri instead of just a regular GYN.

Third time’s the charm, I guess!

This is precious 🤍

I’m finally starting HRT this week. I’m not sure what to expect but I’m excited! So far the only downside is that I have to go off of the birth control pill for this, so I’m going to have to have periods again. 😡

Sounds like you’re all set to have a great week!

Recovering from surgery can be so tough! I hope you heal quickly and smoothly :)

Of course - trans women are women! 💖

This is a great summary but you made me lol with “(the first time)”

We appreciate your service

Looks like Alvin’s into it

Nobody should care if he used to be a landscaper. It’s not relevant. His age is absolutely relevant though. He’s far too young to have the wisdom and experience to handle this job properly. How is he going to know which experts to bring in and who to listen to? He’s grossly unqualified.

Man I feel lucky, there are a ton of lightning bugs in my yard

The spotty yeety boi is so pretty but it can go fuck itself

I wouldn’t call it hardcore necessarily. I’m on lemmy because I walked away from reddit when they shut down api access to third party apps. I haven’t had any other social media since I got rid of facebook in 2013 when Edward Snowden dropped his info. I just don’t want it, to be honest. Facebook was a little hard to give up because it was the only way I stayed in touch with some folks, but honestly the important relationships survived. And all the rest - instagram, tiktok, twitter, snapchat, et al - don’t really appeal to me. Especially short-form content, which I find extra annoying.

Th…thanks…

I was hoping for fat baby jd vance

And horses!

Yeah some people just become sympathy vacuums. They always have a “woe is me” mentality and want a ton of comforting when nothing is really wrong. (I was raised by one of these and it’s draining!)

Holy shit I didn’t realize the epicurean boards were the reason my knives were getting dull!
