there are just two things i want to note, although i don’t really want to write a detailed post about them. i just want to mention them rather than explain.

one is my continual ire when somebody tells me that, because of the tran, i’m lucky in comparison to them due to such and such a reason. for instance, pointing out that after surgery at least i won’t have a screaming and very dependant individual to look after for the rest of my life. like, thanks for reminding me about the sterility component and my own broodiness. similar comments are ‘at least you don’t have periods!‘, and come very close to winding me up in exactly the same way as ‘welcome to womanhood‘ proclamations. just don’t make comparisons relating to my trans-status, okay? no matter how much they are meant in the vein of sisterhood. i get kinda touchy.

the other is my desire to compartmentalise my transsexuality, and slight guilt around this. this, in a way, is probably what this blog is going to be all about.

i’ve moved on from vibrators.

love xx
