Now my 4pm meeting can start! Great!
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.
'Serenity'
Natter 66: Get Your Kicks.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
From what I've read about it (I'm sure other people know more), the medication that they give to preteen and teenage kids doesn't make them develop as the sex they identify as, it just prevents puberty of any sort.
That's my understanding as well - you don't give kids hormones so much as you can give them hormone suppression. And I'm pretty sure anyone under transitioning under 18 needs to be formally diagnosed with Gender Identity Disorder. It's not something parents can just sign their kids up for like pottery class.
The BBC has a great documentary about a trans FTM tween. I've watched it a zillion times for clients, and so naturally I can't remember the title to save my life. It's a Horizon, and it's not Dr Money And The Boy With No Penis (which is about a boy who was raised as a girl after a botched circumcision - also a great doc, but not so much about trans issues as fucked up doctors).

Because books.
Hey, Jess, I came across a small stash of baby stuff of Sara's, including a little coat that she wore maybe three times. Expect a package ... sometime after we get mostly settled.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
This may be outdated trans tech, but I saw in an Annie Sprinkle doc (Herstory of Porn, IIRC) that it is possible to build a skin pouch into which one can insert a rod when one wants to have intercourse. Now, how well that simulates peen for that person or their partner, I cannae say.

Pretty! Pretty toenails, too. And is that Depression glass?
You know what's excellent for packing? All those plastic bags we somehow wound up saving.

There are 5 pieces of Depression Glass, a bowl and cake platter on the main part and three candy dishes on the first shelf.

I LOVE Depression glass. I have awesome purple dessert plates ... somewhere.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
That's a great hutch.
Once I get a bit more unpacked, I definitely need to post pictures of my apartment. This place just has so many cool little details.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ooh, pretty.
