The past week has been quite the mix of highs and lows.
Couple of rough patches with partner.
Having a very affirming experience in Ann Summers, getting my first lingerie under her guidance.
Having my referral to the gender identity clinic confirmed.
Fucker Carlson streams his show on twitter, since he was fired from having his bullshit platformed on Fox.
Which is also fair as the lines can get very blurred dependant on the definitions in play…
Trans/NB/Fluid/queer are all very closely related after all and people can identify with all of these.
Because you’re focused on the visuals from a single user perspective…
It’s not been a good week tbh…
Had a very rough patch with my partner that we’re trying to work through, but it’s tough.
A lot of tears, some minor self harm, emotions on an erratic seesaw.
Weekend plans are some shopping, see my new nephew, some time with my daughters and preparations for vacation next week.
Way down the street at the moment…
Since I started to lean more femme in my usual attire this really has become a problem…
I’ve had a lot of cats as pets over my life to date.
Three of my favourite were all black kitties.
Then there was my dark tortoiseshell who will always have a special place in my heart.
Have a lovely break! ❤️
Honestly, I’m usually cuddling my little round kitty or Blahaj as I’m drifting off to dreamland…
Very much ups and downs here…
Had my assessment with my private medical cover over my gender identity wtf
Counselling sessions start this week.
Saw friends at the weekend which was nice… apart from the actual bbq being a pretty heavy disaster for my partner and me.
It is a fun game, but if you know what you’re doing it’s so exploitable to get powerful components early.
If I’m feeling on the femme side of things when I arrive, do I need to be tied up?
The amusing thing here is that since coming out, I find panties to be way more comfortable than any of my boxers…
Back when reddit premium was a thing I was quite happy to sub to that to pay towards costs, and make use of the benefits like X gold to give people per month and increased sub limits etc
Then they messed about with all that and I dropped my sub …
And I haven’t been back since the protests started so 🤷♀️
Feeling very called out here… internal monologue can be annoying, frustrating and mean.
Prepare for a rabbit hole… but this ought to get you started…
Just an FYI on the NOLF bit…
I think it also important to note that it wasn’t just the pricing itself, which was indeed already heinous, but that the rate calculation changed. It used to be a rate per user per app (apikey+oauth) but they changed that to just the per app … that then has a multiplicative effect on the costs and makes the “free tier” they were talking about especially pointless…
It would be easy for an app to start at free tier … not have much growth through word of mouth but enough given the per app rates to push it over boundary points … and then be due a significant and unavoidable invoice in a couple of months…
Don’t… the comments by our (UK) minsters yesterday were appalling and very concerning…
