It's Tough Pretending To Be Normal

sometimes, as a tgirl dating another tgirl, your partner will randomly metamorphosize and transform into a corrupted version of herself; at which point you must spend the next hour engaged in a verbal boss fight attempting to assure her that you do in fact love her and that she deserves to have you as a partner. if you lose she kills herself

vampires always like “i could kill you if I wanted” like? yeah? so could another human being. so could a dog. so could a dedicated duck. you arent special

I still get excited when my friends refer to me as their friend

"My friend said" "this is my friend" "they're my friend"

Im freaking out inside every time

If you're trans and live in the UK, you need to start the process of getting your NHS details updated yesterday.

The Sullivan report came out on the 19th March and it is at least as much of a disaster for us as the Cass Review and - like the Cass Review - it is already being used to justify an overreach it does not explicitly recommend.

Within 24 hours of its release, the Health Secretary, Wes Streeting (a plague be upon his house), has banned under 18s from changing the sex marker on their NHS records and said that an adult ban is forthcoming (archive link of a Telegraph article).

Changing your NHS record is easy(ish) and free but it isn't fast. It does not require a GRC, formal diagnosis, or surgery. If you want to do it at all, do it now.

Me and my wife do this (I’m single and delusional)

My wife and I have a little game we play called "Speaking From Ignorance."

To play Speaking From Ignorance, all you need is a phone with a voice recorder, and another person who knows considerably more or considerably less about a topic than you do. The topic can be anything: from "how to bake a quiche" to "what happens in the Peter Jackson Hobbit movies" to "who is Florence Pugh" to "how does the traveling salesman problem work." All that matters is that one of you has a firm grasp on the material, and one of you absolutely the fuck does not.

Then the person who knows about the topic turns on the recorder, and says to the person who knows barely anything: "Hey - tell me everything you think you know about [X]."

The speaker is then not allowed to ask any questions. Nor is the expert allowed to volunteer any information. The expert is allowed to pipe up with a faintly incredulous "Oh--really? Do you--do you think so?" from time to time, but for the most part, the expert's job is just to sit there and make encouraging sounds while the speaker digs their own grave.

This is never not funny.

The reason you record it is because, very often, the first thing the speaker wants to do after finishing the recording is find out how you actually make a quiche, or whatever. Then you both get to go back and listen to how wrong they were.

We have a small library now of Speaking From Ignorance recordings, and I'm going to be listening to them until I'm eighty.
