What is even the pain scale? How are you supposed to pick a number? Is 10 equivalent to, like, being burned alive at the stake? It's not supposed to be the worst pain you've ever felt, but the worst you can imagine. Well, I can imagine a lot. They don't know they're dealing with the guy who wrote the infamous screwdriver scene. So if I say I'm ( Read more... )

I'm due for a testosterone shot today, but I won't be having one because my latest doctor apparently cares more about covering his ass than he does about his patients' well-being. I thought we got along well at my first visit several months ago; he admitted he didn't know much about trans health care, but seemed willing to learn. He also sent me ( Read more... )

Whyyyyyyyyyyy did I start my day by reading the comments on a trans-related article? Even on a site like Queerty, comment sections on such stories are always full of ignorance and hate. Obviously I am a masochist. But at least I'm not an ignorant, malicious piece of shit like Rosanne Barr.

1. WITHOUT STEPHEN KING I WOULD BE DEAD SO SUCK MY DICK.

3. When you're young, you should be as bad as you want/need to, because your parents WILL get revenge eventually.

4. I hope it DOES end tomorrow.
