Oh hey!
On Wednesday, I'll be having gender affirming surgery. In a world where trans rights are trying to be stripped away, I think it's important to celebrate these moments (even if it's still surgery and surgery is y'know, not not scary).
But I am also so privileged... ?/?
So the amount of love I received here was incredibly heartwarming.
Unfortunately, my surgeon's office made a mistake and realized I needed a pre-op appt when they initially told me I didn't.
Surgery postponed. It will be fine but today has been frustrating.
Gosh, I hope production sees that good game players make good moves when they know the rules of the game. That was fun, but only because people knew how to try and play against it.

Let's just talk about why anti-trans legislations claims that "they are protecting children" are bogus.
First, the treatment for trans kids include changing a child's name, pronouns and clothing, all of which affirm their gender identity.
This often happens after lots (1/?)

Want to thank the folks I've told and have sent nothing but love and happiness for me.
I'll take all your surgery recovery tips, activities, things to watch (even though my watch-list is long).
I'll also take your good vibes and send you some love right back!

Varner could have accepted he fucked up, legitimately apologized and we'd all have moved on by now. Instead, he doubled down on his transphobic rhetoric. What a PoS.

My surgery is covered by provincial healthcare. I will be recovering at my parents and near my family who are incredibly supportive. I have friends who have asked what I've needed and I'm so lucky to be in a place where I don't really need anything. 2/?
I hate that Shan went home but in terms of whether it was a good move for Ricard or not, I have to think it was. They both agreed they'd go after each other. Ricard might have known he wasn't going home this time but that doesn't mean he wasn't going home next time.
It's been so fun meeting so many podcasters and patrons at

The evidence shows that most people who de-transition do so because society is really tough for trans people.
Gender affirming care works. It decreases suicide rates.
These bills are fear mongering wrapped in "we're protecting kid" bs. (4/4)
and lots of talking about this. By making sure this is what the child would like to do.
If our society was more accepting of this being a normal thing that can happen, then trans children will be affirmed and rates of mental health incidents will go down. Kids who (2/?)

Kids aren't having surgery. They might take puberty blockers. But these aren't experimental. They're used in cis kids too. They're reversible too. (3/?)

It's pretty clear that Melissa (and the LFC) criticize BB because of how much they love it. They see how great it could be. Personally I love that these folks can often find bright spots in what could otherwise be a podcast that is nothing but constructive criticism.
Also good news! We hit our pre-order goal on the buffs (and more).

I have many thoughts about yesterday's ruling.
One is immense sadness. All for my American friends - women and trans people who will be affected by this ruling. Another is anger. At the people who have either actively or passively let this happen. (1/2)

Ricard, who has needed to keep the people around who would vote with him (Erika, Heather and Xander), was in a worse position than Shan. The more rounds he waits, the more likely that Shan holds the power to take out Ricard than vice versa.
