Dinner: leftover eggplant pasta salad, half a small watermelon, and half an enormous heirloom tomato drizzled with balsamic vinegar & olive oil, garlic, and basil.
I ordered a bi-fold door. This weekend I need to buy a power tool.

Are you allowed to have medical intervention in gender development that early, outside of an intersex issue? I thought you needed years of therapy, etc. Or is that only for surgery and not medication?
What everyone else said--they can hold off puberty in your biosex so that it's sooooo much easier to transition if you decide to, at 18 (or 20 or whenever). Or don't, stop the drugs, and just hit puberty later. For MTFs who transition as adults, gotta say, the results are usually waaaay more obvious than FTMs, partly because of size, and because growing a beard is easier than getting rid of one. Now, as for functionality of genitalia, thats a different question.
Megan, you and Venus and the moon cracked me up (but I'm on the iPhone so cant c&p multiple things easily)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Sometimes I think I'm just fucking with his head.
It's no small part of why we raise them, I think. To watch those connections being made and to also amuse ourselves while it happens.

Congrats Jessica!
Dinner tonight was a pepper-crusted eye of round, steamed corn on the cob, and half a big beefsteak tomato. The first two turned out magically delicious, but the last tasted kind of funky like it had been soaked in antisceptic or something otherwise medicine-y. (I shouldn't complain too much though, the smaller tomato I had with lunch was awesome).

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Baby greens salad with bacon bits and curried chicken salad. This low-carb thing can be quite deelish!
