Anyone wanna adopt a rubber tiger toy as a pet? All you gotta do is take the leash!

Add in the fact I am now working 12 hours a day, 5 days a week and I just don’t have time or energy to be overly social. I feel like I am just destined to be a lonely, forced workaholic for the foreseeable future.

Man I have been so lonely recently. I’m back to being 100% solo/single. Haven’t had cuddles since the beginning of February and I just feel so alone and hopeless. I so bad at entering social circles and socializing online. I have no clue how to branch out to network with folks.

We’ll find out a but later.

Headed to a friend’s birthday gathering. We are doing a little wine tasting thing so we were tasked to find a wine and bring a snack. My friend’s DnD character is obsessed with mushrooms so I found an interesting mead with mushrooms in it and made a little snack platter!

EXACTLY THIS. You’ve shared some with me before and I have shared some of my past. The truth is we all face our own demons and struggles. We fight to be who we are and achieve what we have in life. It’s easy to forget that a person fought to be who they are when all you see is their success.

And the funniest thing about that is if they were you, they wouldn’t wanna be you. The grass is always greener and someone else’s life is always better no matter how good you have it.

Learning to love yourself and what you already have is hard, I’m struggling with it myself but it is SO important.

It’s Sunday, that means injection day once again. At first it was just the Zepbound. The first time with auto needle was so scary to do, now it’s routine. The first time prepping a manual needle was worse. I had such a panic attack prepping and psyching myself up. Now 5 shots in, it too is routine.

Huzzah, another trip around the giant fireball complete. That makes 38 trips!! Went and celebrated with Dim Sum and beers yesterday with some good friends.

As professional pooltoys we are happy to announce our sister convention, "Get Out The Flat" happening on a Friday near you. ^_^

I’ve been finding it hard to eat recently because of my meds. Need recommendation for quick, high protein liquid meals I can take on the go. I work 12 hour shift driving a truck. I was thinking carnation instant breakfast mixed with muscle milk and a multivitamin in the morning.

This has become my favorite easy meal. Sushi rice, steak, broccoli and Japanese BBQ sauce.

FINALLY Got to go see Darcy & Jer last night with @andraconix.com. I bought the tickets over a year ago but the tour got postponed. What an absolute blast, I haven’t laughed that much in a long time.

13/13 So for all of you who cringe when you hear the term “gender affirming care” remember my story. Fighting for access to GAC is not just something trans folks do, you too could find yourself fighting for access to the very thing you try to suppress. Trans rights are human rights and love is love!

12/13 This has been an uphill battle from day one and I wasn’t even asking to transition. I simply wanted access to gender affirming care for my assigned at birth gender. I can’t even imagine how much harder it is for my peers seeking greater changes and it shouldn’t be… it doesn’t have to be.

11/13 This was probably one of the harder things I have had to in my life and I’ll have to do it again next week and the week after that and so on… I can only hope it gets easier for me. But there are so many people out there who haven’t even gotten started and will still have to fight for access.

10/13 But I did it. I took a deep breath after several false starts, I stuck the needle in and I was forced to watch the needle go in for the first time in my life. Then I had to stare at it and maintain my composure long enough to inject the liquid at a painstakingly slow rate. But again, I did it.

9/13 In this moment I knew exactly how every trans person who had been in the same fight felt. To fight so hard for something so important and still be afraid to take that last step, to feel unable to do it. It took hours to even start preparing the needle and multiple tries to actually inject it.

8/13 I HATE needles, I’m not afraid of them, I just don’t like them cause I have had blood drawn hundreds of times. I can’t even look when they stick the needle in and now I had to do it myself? It took so much will power to drive that needle home despite how hard I had fought to get to this point.

7/13 Yesterday was my first time having to use a tradition needle and syringe to inject myself. I was so scared but my trans friends had my back. They lovingly supported me and gave me the resources and support to teach me how to do my injections safely and I could not be more grateful to them.

6/13 Three months on T gel later we finally tested my levels only to discover my levels had dropped further. Disheartened I thought for sure I had hit another dead end but my doctor listened to me and again within days she has secured me what I needed to start injections and for less than $20 total.

5/13 Within days she had not only gotten me access to testosterone gel I had been refused by my old doctor but she also got my insurance to cover it like any other medication, something my old doctor said wasn’t possible unless I dropped out of the technical “normal” range. So I started TRT.

4/13 My new doctor is the “trans care” doctor in the practice I go to. She understands why gender affirming care is so important for trans, cis and all folks in between. It felt so good to be heard and met with enthusiasm about helping me. Everyone deserves that level of care and compassion.

3/13 As a perceived cis male, I have had an incredibly hard time getting the gender affirming care I need. All affordable resources turned me away because even tho I’m not a cis male, the hormones were not for transition. For 3 years I fought and had nearly give up till I met my new doctor.

2/13 I genuinely have a new appreciation, respect and empathy for all my trans peers who have had to not only fight for access to HRT but also fight to afford that care. It’s not easy ya’ll. I was one point above the low range for T and my old doc would not give me T even though it could help me.

I’m so thankful for all the love and support I’ve gotten in the past 24 hours. I fought so hard to get put on TRT to potentially help with a long list of both mental and physical health issues. This is why the fight for access to affordable gender affirming care, trans or not, is so important. 1/13🧵
