Are you kidding me, this is also an adhd thing?? I have so many gadgets and doodads at home. I repeat this comic all the time even though I know it will turn out this way.

My parents have something alright, but I don’t think I’ll ever find out what it is.

Must’ve been one of the early Space Quest games. It’s been a while.

That sucks, RLE tests are real life torture. :/

Have you considered Imago? Way cheaper than GGP.

It would be $20,000 if you get it done in Thailand. Not everyone can get it covered by insurance.

Said as a joke I suppose. However:

Shortly after its release, PGP encryption found its way outside the United States, and in February 1993 Zimmermann became the formal target of a criminal investigation by the US Government for “munitions export without a license”.

No, no… they won and can stop their campaigns of lies now. Congrats on winning.

Kreosan’s channel is a wonder of content and things nobody should ever do. They have a video where they caught lightning into an old CRT TV and have to run because the noise would attract soldiers. The guy in this image bathed in water in Chernobyl and had to get some treatment for the radiation.

Glad I could help :)

Great game! Played it a lot back in the day and recently tried it again, still holds up

Xchange (2000). It has some trans elements in the dialogue so this little (at the time) teenage trans girl got it forever etched into her memory.

Season 1 was very meaningful to me, looking forward to the second season!

I never saw the point in storing my private files on someone else’s computer. Seemed like a scam, the type Facebook is.

Certainly is working as intended, as a means to torture us. But I think it’s also intended to have an appearance of being fair, and that part is breaking down. It’s designed for a time when trans people were not allowed to talk with other trans people. Now it turns out that there are several orders of magnitude more of us than were able to get through the gatekeeping in the old days. No gatekeeping system can scale up to the level needed to give all trans people the care they need.

Informed consent is the only humane way forward and the current breakdown of the system makes this the right time to finally demand change.

Rant: I legit had a psychologist ask me why I came out ”so late”. When I was a teenager our country had about a dozen people being allowed to transition per year. A dozen and she wondered why I wasn’t one of them. That’s when gatekeeping was ”working”. It’s a miracle I’m alive after all these years. There were several rules in place to prohibit someone like me from transititioning back then, but I’m like most trans people I meet these days. It’s highly unlikely that you, the one reading this, would have been allowed through.

Maybe gatekeeping doesn’t work.

Not sure if anyone else mentioned it, but be sure to stop biotin (can be in supplements, esp. for hair, energy drinks, etc) three days ahead of the blood test. It messes up the E2 blood test results.

Go for it

I went through the same thing and it was a recurring source of dysphoria for me until I started HRT. Crying rocks!

I ”terrified” a coworker this exact way once, he began seriously doubting his abilities as a programmer. He was ”so slow”. Worked out well because now he is a quite successful business man. Anyway I’m undiagnosed but plan to get it done privately soon.

Lovely time for a strike, innit.
