  • Doctors told her she would be unlikely to carry the child to term, and doing so increased her chances of infection or other severe outcome.

    When the law is a witch hunt not based on science, doctors cannot operate based on their best judgement based on science. Real issues of “unlikely” and “increased her chances” aren’t the same things as immediate medical emergency: they prevent an immediate medical emergency. Any law restricting abortions to when they are “medically necessary” will always lead to cases where its denied until its immediately medically necessary, at which point it may be too late. This is a clear-cut example of what such laws will always do and doctors being forced to tiptoe around the feelings of fanatics instead of being able to practice medicine.








  • A threat about such a topic is gonna attract people with similar experiences. Personally, I don’t think my lack of attraction has change significantly. Can’t say I don’t notice some things about men on occasion now I didn’t before, but it doesn’t seem like its really attraction. If anything, its probably more like me noticing certain feminine features despite the clear lack of attraction, which I assumed pre-egg-crack (or even re-realizing I was ace) was mostly just because of comphet. If it turns out I’m wrong about having a lack of attraction and actually being attracted to men, it wouldn’t really surprise me given what my pre-egg-crack sexual fantasies often were like - it wouldn’t really be a change in who I was attracted to or even repression related to internalized homophobia, but just due to discomfort with myself (primarily my body, but also just roles I felt like I was expected to fulfil if I were to be in such relationships).









  • Visited parents and mom had to go take care of something, so finally was alone with step-mom for the first time since told them I changed hormones. So she asked me about goals, name, etc, which is cool even if I have no concrete goals or plans to change name for now.

    My brother later told me our mom has asked him about things like name (my name is based on hers, so not surprise that would be a focus of hers), but I guess she doesn’t want to ask me directly? Not sure if because I have a history of clamming up or because I can be overly sensitive and she’s afraid of offending me accidentally - either and/or both make sense given how I’ve been in the past. She hadn’t said anything to me in like the 3 weeks since I came out, so happy to know she’s at least showing some interest and not just trying to pretend it isn’t happening. Given the type of media she consumes, I’m kinda just glad she hasn’t tried sending me things like detransition propaganda videos.

    Also, suddenly finding emotions being a lot stronger these last couple days… like getting tears for little reason (fortunately, so far pretty much just when alone). Kinda nostalgic, except as a child, I had even less understanding why I was upset.
