Hi! I’m almost three years into transition (#TransitionTimeline of my PFPs below); I waited until I was 37 to start because I didn’t have some pretty basic info. Specifically:

- Daydreaming about being the other gender isn’t something cis people do very often. But it is something #trans people do a lot before they transition.

- #Transition from one gender to another can take many forms, and everyone gets to choose what transition options are right for them.

- Medical transition can include taking hormones (called #HRT) that put the body through puberty a second time, this time developing the secondary sexual characteristics of a different gender. These meds are available in much of the US with only a bit of paperwork called #InformedConsent - it says you have been told what the effects will be, and confirms that you want them.

It didn’t take much. Once I had those pieces, I immediately knew I wanted to transition.

I won’t lie: the political situation in the US for trans people is kinda dark. I can tell you with confidence, though, that for me, I’d much rather run the risk of political violence than stay in the closet. I was killing myself slowly with alcohol and neglect.

If this resonates with you, I want you to know that in my experience, trans people and trans community are the most vibrant and joyful people I’ve ever encountered. If you are discovering or accepting that you are trans, welcome. Living can be wonderful, and I want that for you.

The vast majority of people who will be impacted by trans bans in sports will be little girls with short hair or arms that are "too muscular."

It will also mean that when a woman is good at her sport the disgusting grumbling and whispering about "may she is he" gets taken more seriously.

This happened with Paula Radcliffe for running marathons too fast. If it helps you to think of a white cis woman being the victim of this.

Of course little black girls will take the brunt of this. As ever.

I really can't stress this enough - Trump is unhinged and delusional if he thinks we're conducting meaningful ground operations in Iran with like 10K Marines. That's a get your body bags scenario waiting to happen.

For comparison, we invaded Iraq with 250 THOUSAND guys and literally every person who has studied that war from a military strategy perspective has said "that wasn't enough guys"

This isn't your usual level of insane, this is naming your horse proconsul level insane. Real Nero hours

It's that time again where I am asked to write an author bio. What do we think of:

Dr. Amy is the single greatest mind of her generation. She came here to chew gum and fuck things up, and she is fresh out of gum.
