Why is it that transgender children are "too young" to make decisions about their bodies, but intersex children have no choice but to undergo operations and hormone therapy at the same ages? It's almost like it's not about the wellbeing of the kids!

Young(er) artists please for the love of god take care of your body. Take breaks frequently, do not push yourself beyond your limits, do not work yourself to death to try to “get ahead”. I am 28 and in physical therapy because my shoulder is fried from overuse. I can’t make art.

Artists/creators really need to let go of celebrating working yourself to the bone for the sake of art. It is not a badge of honor to work 12+ hour days regardless of how great your stuff is. Get some sunlight. Go the fuck to bed. Take care of yourself.

On a freak snowy day in April I randomly matched up with the most amazing person playing a game of Overwatch. I knew from the first day that we had something special. We happened to both be trans and had everything in common. Yesterday began a new chapter in our crazy journey.
