From 2020-2022, I had a small following under this username. I tweeted, wrote, and gave interviews about being as close to transsexual as one can get w/o medicalizing. To my regret, I revealed a lot of personal info and burned myself out on trans discourse. So why return? 1/

I can now acknowledge that me medicalizing would be a form of hiding/protection. Removing my breasts, deepening my voice, adding muscle to my body would be a misguided attempt at protection. I constantly experience being a target, albeit not from men. I just want to be safe.

@TullipR Thank you for sharing. As hard as that is to sit with/read, every line she wrote resonates, in a very painful way. I’m so angry for her. To die by suicide is difficult enough, but to be erased by TRAs after the fact? Both are my worst nightmare. I knew that if I died, I didn’t

I’m so drunk I’m having panic attacks even while drinking, now. It never used to be like this. Alcohol is poison. It promises relief from pain. It lies. When I’m not drinking to handle pain, I try so hard to stay sober. I promised myself I wouldn’t drink today. I hate hurting

@Jebadoo2 At least I knew there was an actual, medical basis for my discomfort. The reinforcement didn't help, but no one promised to "fix" me. Adults creating false wrongness and then actually promising to "fix" it makes my soul ache.

He’s home. He has vestibular disease (tick borne). Negative for heartworm. He’s stumbling around/shaky on his legs, vomiting, and won’t eat. I know it’s treatable and unlikely to be severe, but I’ve never seen this before—my legs are supposed to be shaky, not his! (dark humor)

My senior beagle (and light of my life) Spock 🐶 was just rushed to the hospital. He can’t even keep water down and he’s super cold, staggering and shaking. I’m remaining optimistic but I’m scared. He’s my baby. I’m not in any position to lose him just yet 💔 Please pray/send

@ImWatson91 Signing a consent form and actually understanding what post-surgical recovery entails are two separate things. There’s no way to predict what recovery will be like; anyone who says otherwise is lying, even if they’re well-intentioned about it. I’ve had so many doctors swear up

I love my parents. They’re great people. Told my dad how isolated I’ve been/felt, how I want to travel the world, work from anywhere, and not be held back anymore. He (and my Mom!) are starting small but making travel plans—us together, as a family. They’re so supportive 🥺😭

My family and friends are deeply frustrated with my quiet periods. I know that I have some form of PTSD, depression, and also some form of anhedonia (loss of pleasure in pleasurable activities). The non-depressed part of me wants to reach out. The other 99% is bloody exhausted.

@Serena_Partrick @byron9164 Case in point: I’ve started using female pronouns again for myself IRL. Rather than supported, I’ve been laughed at, mocked, and told that I’ve lost my marbles. It’s my body. My experience of femaleness. I should be able to name the obvious without such a response.

Asking for prayers if you’re that sort of person, or strength if you’re not. Going for an appointment tomorrow that I’ve never had; and doing it alone. Never had a med appt alone, before. I’ve been praying most of the night and have to be up early tomorrow. Still anxious.

@ImWatson91 I can't actually imagine looking a rape victim in the eye and forcing her to carry a child. Those on my "side" consistently put ideology over very real issues women w/ unwanted pregnancies face. Too much to put in a tweet. TLDR: we're not all pro-forced-birth.

@ImWatson91 From one terrified woman to another...you don't need to do that to be safe. I tried and it didn't fucking work. If anything, I only made myself more of a target. Carry pepper spray or a gun; take self-defense classes; but when it comes to transition, run like hell.

I’m an Amy too (my birth name). I’m fully aware of my womanhood. Some women have dysphoria. I am one. If you’d rather, I’ll go silent and give in to the urge to permanently medicalize my body. Ruining my body would be effortless. Do you actually support all women?

Morning Jayme, it's evening Jayme. You tweeted this, feeling low and sad... then you had coffee. Breakfast. Medication!! Christmas festivities. Puppy cuddles, and a phone call w/ your family. You read, a lot. You discovered more to live for. You survived. Go you. 💜

@SammyBarrow32 @ImWatson91 I am an alcoholic. I put my loved ones through hell when I drank. I also know more than what Sinéad posts here about the situation at hand. While no one is responsible for Sinéad getting sober except her, “tough love” has not worked with her in the past. Different addicts need
