Three trans men of a certain type (were Mary McCarthy writing The Group today, they’d have featured prominently in at least the Vassar flashbacks, say.
I take a gel that comes in tiny tubes, one tube per day. I’m taking a hair less than a full tube, and everyday I wonder if I should save the remaining drop. If I saved like 8 tubes, I could have an extra day’s worth. Surely I will need this, when society collapses?
I am so often doing this! It's very distinct from figuring out the dosage that works for me in concert with my medical team -- it's more like, "How much can I do without, because I always want to be prepared to go without?"
yes, and it is uniquely trans for me! I am on several meds that hold back things far more dire than my face softening but I never feel inclined to hoard them the way I hoard T.
i've got at least 8 of the tiny 1ml glass vials that have like 0.15ml left in them and can't bring myself to throw them out even though it's almost impossible to get that out of there
oh cripes this was embarrassingly on point. especially as I spent today apologizing to my dentist for needing a followup appointment because I hadn't spoken up for myself enough at the *last* appointment and thus something was done wrong. Wanting things? Couldn't be me.
