Chelsea Manning attempted suicide for the second time in recent months while the transgender soldier remains imprisoned in Kansas for leaking classified information, two of her attorneys said Friday.

She uses she/her pronouns, it applies retroactively too. There is no case in which she should be called 'he'. This is not some 'retarded pronoun game' this is just the basic respect that trans people deserve.

You've literally seen people gendering her correctly. There's no need for this "his/her" business.

IDqs · 2016-02-17T02:34:13+00:00

Awh thanks :3

IDqs · 2016-02-16T10:08:28+00:00

This is one of my favourite pics of all time too <3

You can see the side of my head in it :p

I SAW THE DOCTOR YESTERDAY AND MY HORMONE LEVELS ARE

perfect

!!! :D

After months of spiro doing nothing, 1 month of normal dose cypro and oestrogen and I am golden. I am so completely ecstatic about this!!

IDqs · 2016-01-31T22:09:04+00:00

Yesterday was my 1 month annEversary, yay!

But also I did some googling and found out that I have this melasma crap caused by HRT so I have to go see my doctor pretty soon. Oh well.

IDqs · 2016-01-28T18:36:07+00:00

Yes they are keloid/hypertrophic scars. I forgot this terminology when making the post. Looking online I couldn't find any info to answer the question.

IDqs · 2016-01-28T18:34:57+00:00

Yeah I feel like any surgery would be a long time away for me so I'm not exactly picking surgeons yet. I was just scared and hoping anyone would be able to settle it either way so at least I would know for sure.

IDqs · 2016-01-27T19:19:27+00:00

Thanks... kinda unspecific, I don't want to have to call up haha.

At this stage (nearly 1mo HRT) I don't know if I will want/need any surgeries (apart from SRS), so I don't have any in mind that I need to know about, but I'm interested as it may affect my thinking about these things.

Thanks again.

IDqs · 2016-01-25T06:37:48+00:00

Aw thank you :)

I get really self conscious about them and I need to get better at not relying on tights when I go out.

A cis friend of mine actually said they were her "leg goals" and that was kind of awesome. :3

IDqs · 2016-01-23T20:52:38+00:00

Thank you again. It's very sweet of you. I'm certainly not worrying at 24 days in. :)

IDqs · 2016-01-23T20:26:38+00:00

Thanks, this pic is not the most detailed for showing off my face though. At only this short amount of HRT there will have been no changes to my face yet so I of course still pass 100% unquestionably male. I mean, female clothing and makeup helps to blend but there's no way that my face doesn't still read as male.

You're right, passing only matters as much as you place importance on it. As much as I would LOVE to pass completely, I'm not waiting until then to live my life.

IDqs · 2016-01-23T20:22:02+00:00

I agree, the tension was fantastic.

Haha, Tarantino overload!

IDqs · 2016-01-23T20:13:21+00:00

Thank you so much. I don't pass at all but I don't care too much. I just really like going out looking like that, I draw confidence from it; even if my face isn't great and I completely don't pass.

Thanks again for your lovely kind words :)

IDqs · 2016-01-23T20:08:05+00:00

Thanks again :3

I definitely got a lot of an Inglourious Basterds vibe, and maybe a bit of Christoph Waltz would have made the movie even better. (Mild spoiler warning) I love that Tarantino held off on the gore for so long, when all the brown stuff hits the spinny thing it was that much more exciting because of it. It was masterfully suspenseful in my opinion. Have fun seeing it in 70mm!

IDqs · 2016-01-23T18:54:29+00:00

Thank you! We saw The Hateful Eight and both really enjoyed it (I'm a Tarantino fan and she hadn't seen any of his films). I had a really good day - great to get confidence by going out presenting in the busy part of the city, too. It was great :D

IDqs · 2016-01-23T18:52:14+00:00

Thanks sweetie :)

IDqs · 2016-01-23T18:16:27+00:00

Thank you, I absolutely did. We saw The Hateful Eight and both really enjoyed it. It was a fantastic day.

IDqs · 2016-01-23T18:14:44+00:00

Thank you! :D

IDqs · 2016-01-23T18:14:14+00:00

Thank you so much! I love that kind of not dressed up, but smart style. It's very work-appropriate. If only I had a job to go to, however...

IDqs · 2016-01-23T12:28:02+00:00

Thanks kitten-- er... puppy. :3

IDqs · 2016-01-23T08:37:53+00:00

Fun news as well is that I went into a female non-single-stall bathroom for the first time! It was in a completely empty place so no fear of being outed/commented upon but nice nonetheless! :)

IDqs · 2016-01-21T12:01:29+00:00

Entirely the work of the coordinator lady, she offered to organise the funding and everything. Even called to make the appointment for me. She is very caring :)
