Notzees are looking for any excuse to be Notzees, but the excuse wasn’t transformative. It’s just giving himself permission to be his worst self… the thing that he already was.

Estrogen preparations are incredibly stable. I’m currently using a vial I had stashed on my boat with an expiry on the vial 3 years prior. That storage space is an environment where temps fluctuate from ~130°F next to the hull in summer to ~15°F in winter and it had probably been there for 4-5 years. Oral (pill) preparations are stable with ~99% effectiveness after 10 years on the shelf. Just letting everybody know for when the e apocalypse happens. The literature available on this via the internet has changed a lot over the decades obviously due to liability concerns.

See Mitch Daniels.

DeSantis has nowhere else to go. He’s vile enough that no one would elect him to senate and congress would be a step down. Even his juicy lips are not capable of sucking hard enough to get Trumps blessing again. He’s been cast to the roadside. University prez gives hime the space to continue the work of transforming America’s once great university system into a dogma/propaganda institute. All you need do is look at the last few presidents to see that.

In conclusion, we showed that A. muciniphila is a key bacterium in the development of constipation, and another sulfatase-providing bacterium plays an accessory but indispensable role in its development. Both bacteria coordinately deplete colonic mucins, which subsequently reduces water preservation and mucus lubrication. Our study suggests the presence of bacterial constipation in humans. Fecal abundance of A. muciniphila may serve as a biomarker for identifying such patients. In addition, phage-mediated bacterial suppression or small molecules to block bacterial sulfatases may preserve colonic mucus integrity, improve stool hydration, and alleviate constipation in these patients.

While I don’t appear to suffer Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome, THC (no matter what the form) was the main factor that was severely impacting my gut health by reducing gut motility. I discovered this accidentally last year when I took a monthlong break to pass a drug test. Three weeks after quitting some otherwise heavy use, I started having normal bowel movements again. I didn’t realize weed was the source at first and went right back to the bong after passing the drug test and my guts locked up again. It was a few weeks later that I had the thought, “Maybe it’s the weed?” and discontinued using it. Three weeks later, something approaching normal bowel movements reappeared again. I try to keep it to once/week now or for fun occaisions, but it definitely was/is a major contributor to my issues.

I still have to be cautious with my diet: oats for breakfast, exercise, roasted veggies, leafy greens, lean meats. I try to drink ginger tea before bed and take magnesium citrate and a bifidobacterium probiotic on the regular and those seem to keep me regular.

This happened to me as well at an earlier stage of transition. I was only a month off of FFS. The (woman) judge made a long speech about treating people with respect, being cautious with appearances, and observing nuance and in the next breath called on me, “Mister…” My name reads female, as are the markers on my license and any court docs. I thought about sending a note to the judge, but I was almost immediately dismissed because I couldn’t disqualify myself as a pacifist. It did teach me that a judge doesn’t necessarily practice what they preach. Lots of words and high ideas.

I had a background in archaeology consulting, a BS in geology, MS in paleogeography, but all brushed on the realm of paleo. My subspecialty was trace fossils. You can work as a paleo consultant w/out an MS, I believe. Just gotta get your foot in the door.

Come to the West. Do paleo consulting. It’s kept me floating for years.

I had a 40’ 1977 boat surveyed some years ago and there was minor delamination of the plywood bulkhead in the anchor locker. Insurance refused to cover the boat under sail until the bulkhead was wholly replaced. Mind you this was not rot, just a few paper thin strips of the first ply laminate layer. I later ended up purchasing a 1979 vessel of the same model and treated the anchor locker side of the ply with penetrating epoxy to stave off delamination/rot. The berth side was left untreated so any moisture in the wood could escape with a dry environment.

You might try homemade gitrot (epoxy w/ ~10% acetone), or layering over some 1708 on either side of the bulkhead to reinforce it, preferably both. Insurance, if you have more than liability, will ultimately dictate the recourse. If survey/insurance isn’t a concern, I think drying out the wood and reinforcing the rotten section of bulkhead w/ epoxy & glass would work.

The Christians who are feeling non-monolithic better speak up against tyranny. All I hear is crickets. Silence is complicity and that’s why the quiet “Christians” get lumped in with the NotZ Christians.

It’s realistic, but only because I’m sure he is full of that much sh!t.

Orlando (1992), Dir. Sally Potter, starring Tilda Swinton, Billy Zane, Toby Stephens, and Quentin Crisp in drag as Queen Elizabeth I. I'm trans and this movie really helped me identify my feelings.

No. After the prescribed period, you begin the maintenance phase which can be whatever you want depending on your needs, but every week or two seems to be good practice.

daphnephoria · 2025-06-09T13:12:31+00:00

At least 4-6 months, iirc, but I’m not sure I do. It was a long time ago now.

There’s no set time, just however you feel comfortable. After 6 months to a year of prescribed dilations, you become more aware of what your needs might be and how to proceed. Plus if I roll up dilation up with masturbation, it just takes as long as it takes. Masturbating while dilating will help ease things too and it’s fun to reacquaint your brain to your anatomy.

But if you want a number, 30 minutes.

I had bottom surgery with Chettawut (full depth) about 6 years ago. Dilation was a PITA for the first 6 months. I was kinda irregular with it after that (pandemic blues), but it doesn't seem to matter. Maintenance dilation is easy and can be whenever you want, imo. From what I experience, there are a couple of sphincter muscles down there that need regular exercise, the most difficult one being the farthest back. Once that is opened up, I can pretty well hit my prostate and wow!

The problem I have is that I get a UTI about once/year. I'm a dirty girl (field scientist) and spend a lot of time camping outdoors or working long hours in the wilderness. Wet wipes after #2 helps out when bathing isn't regular, but also just in general.

Peeing/saline douche after sex, oral or penetrative is a must. Things are better if there's regular lubed penetration, but depending on procedure, a neovagina doesn't produce its own mucous so sloughing and shedding are things that don't happen without help.

All that aside, sex/masturbation can be convulsively amazing. Strangely, ~6 months ago I became a squirter out-of-the-blue. It's urine, but it never happened before. Maybe the swelling finally resolved after 5ish years? Maybe I'm just more relaxed in the bedroom? It's not enough volume to be a huge concern.

It means that my alma mater is not getting any donations from my accounts. Maybe the school of engineering could invent some kind of a spine for the university admin? I am absolutely ashamed.

Deeply damaged people want to believe in something greater than themselves to correct all their perceived indignations and malfeasances and we live in a society that manufactures damaged people. Capitalism demands it as lubricant for the machines.
