this place’s stuff is in general lovely and hosed up. it’s currently also telling me that I’ve been overdue for a chicken pox vaccine since 1996 and I’m due for a pap smear in january 2020

after my wife started working at a company that does medical backend bullshit like that i was amazed at just how much garbage insurance company behavior is actually "configurable" and your company can just ask them to change it (or asked them to set it that way in the first place :/)

protested boston's straight pride today. huge turnout for us, not so great of a turnout for the fascists. marching down the street shouting "we're here, we're queer, we're communists, don't gently caress with us!" is better than any corporate pride parade i've ever seen.

considering that e-sports, fursuits, and playing e-sports while wearing a fursuit are all drat near diametrically opposed to my interests i didn't expect to find myself relating with a furry fighting game champion's twitter posts about genderfeels today, but it is a pleasant surprise.

Well that is really cool. Even made me think harder about my own gender identity. I'm definitely he/him/his but I've always had a lot of so-called feminine, and shall we say, yin leanings. I've always been very comfortable with it but now I'm wondering if I've been downplaying it at all.

If they didn't mean it as a slur they'd use feminine.

really? i had no idea it was a slur, i always considered it just the less-strong version of feminine :shrug:

like it can certainly be used as an insult but i didn't think it was universally considered as such...

There have been times I've heard it when it was definitely being used as such, but this was not frequent, and tbh I never thought of it as one.

E: Effete is definitely derogatory though. I wonder if there has been some conflation.

have a chat with your doc, they’ll need to submit an affidavit and a couple forms, that’s about it. I should have more info in a week or so, I asked mine to start on it even though I can’t really do anything with it until the company that prints IDs catches up with the law.

my doc has actually been pretty great about me being trans and everyone around him has sucked about it. I came out and he immediately let me know he has the forms ready for both that and passport changes ready as soon as I am, and nothing has really changed about our relationship other than a few new requisite medical questions

what’s sucked: his assistant suddenly seems real uncomfortable with me, and the phlebotomist deadnamed me repeatedly today despite the fact that my real name is on the screen in front of her and we can both see it. she decided to call it out one last time as I’m walking out the door and I really feel like we’re on the malicious side of Hanlon’s razor here.

at least Epic updated their poo poo and “male-to-female transgender person” is listed as a “health issue” and not under the heading “problems” anymore
