Cat ears on the side is probably best universe. I do human ears hidden when I wear cat ears though.

Injections could be better but right now this working well and is hassle free. I've got good breast development I don't want to wait two months.

Yo this girl convinced her doctor to up her estrogen tablets to 8mg from 6mg, keep her spirolactone at 50mg and is starting prog now at 10 months!

Lol it was me like 6 months ago when I started getting involved in stuff. Time goes fast!

It's funny that her two other big books are wholesome cheer leaders and sci fi body horror.

I went to a trans community thing and a new girl dropped!

There was a person who'd never attended before and was super early in transition. It was really exciting.

I had a surprisingly great morning, I met a new person vaguely in my community circles who said I always looked "immaculate" with my outfits. She's cis, asked me my pronouns in a nice way, and said she was surprised I'd only been medically transitioning for less than a year. I mean cis people don't really know a lot about transition but I've had a similar reaction from some trans girls I've met recently. I think the secret is I spent a few years being gender non conforming and then non-binary so I played around with fashion a bunch then. Also I guess I was medically transitioning prior when I took finasteride at above the recommended doses as an experiment now that I think about it.

Then another acquaintance started chatting to me, she was driving my way, so she gave me a lift, we got coffee at my destination and chatted a bunch. She's mention decolonization and pro-Palestine, which was neat, I managed to pump the breaks and say yeah I was left-wing/historically progressive instead of spouting too much about the Immortal Science. Seems like we might be friends which is great. Then I saw another trans girl I didn't know in the wild at the place I was shopping (like a handmade crafts and antique warehouse). We did the little acknowledge we'd seen each other hello and went on our ways.

This is not medical advice in any way. But if it was me I'd take like 4 non sedating antihistamines in the morning of my injection and give them a few hours to be floating around. A heat pack on the injection site once it had stopped bleeding would also help settle any reaction (it seems contradictory but heat causes vasodilation and helps settle inflammation).

Yeah there's not a lot of coherence to their beliefs. There's also a lot of predestination and Calvinist stuff. So if they try to make the apocalypse happen and succeed that was god working through them all along etc

In particular the Catholic church hated you trying to predict when the apocalypse was happening. It was fine to do art about it or philosophize about it. The minute you start to predict it they came down like a hammer. Which for at least pragmatic reasons, you make the church looks silly if you're wrong.

In Christianity the end of the world is meant to ultimately be a good thing, like a thousand years of peace once the antichrist is defeated and then people go to heaven. In their view I guess they see it as doing God's will. Plus Christians having been itching for the world to end since they became a thing. It's like if the heaven's gate people just waited 2000 years.

Also the apocalyptic types need the Jews to rebuild the temple to trigger the end times etc
