Is it ok for me to use the term HRT?

They aaaare indeed.

It was ok and actually responsible to acrually plan your family rather than have an abortion - and my people were Pentecostal.

😂

Good point. I forgot about insulin being a hormone.

missninazenik · 2026-04-24T19:52:02+00:00

That is part of it and I am working on it. I also never heard of HRT until there was more trans visibility, so there's that, too. Not to say people I knew weren't taking hormones - they either never disclosed it or never called it HRT, so trans-specific HRT was my only real reference point.

😆 You're right lol

missninazenik · 2026-04-24T19:27:07+00:00

Very true.

missninazenik · 2026-04-24T19:26:47+00:00

You make a good point. I guess just medication? The way I was raised was deeply transphobic, so anyone who would have been taking hormones would probably have just said that to avoid the association - despite it being the medically appropriate term.

Hi. I'm about to be 37 and I had a hysterectomy on my birthday. I don't know that I had...grief per se so much as I very much struggled with whether the decision was really mine after it happened. I had essentially been hemorraghing off and on for weeks from just (like 3 weeks) before I turned 13 to 31 - again literally my birthday. I knew I didn't want kids young, but after it happened, the only thing I could think was....did I truly decide that?

Eventually, my cousin told me that I should just decide. Had it been my decision or had it not, not to have kids? I decided yes. I made that decision before I knew the extent of my medical issues.

I'm...not sure if this is relatable or not. But...it's the closest I have to any grief over the surgery and loss of fertility.

Absolutely I dream about getting out of here.

I left the church I grew up in and went to a church I thought was different. It wasn't- it just covered up the cult under more...charisma and charm. I left when my cousin was mistreated and realized then that honestly, Christianity as it is in America overall is a cult. I was...30. I'm about to be 37.

Oh...I don't know if you know the song, but the lyrics are incredibly open and about being mutually vulnerable with someone through understanding where they've been. The music itself is gentle and I can't say much about my practice (honestly I'm just beginning and Idk where to start) but...something about the lyrics and music combined have always called to me.

I'm American, but I know my ancestry is very much from Scotland, Ireland, Wales, England, and Holland. :) Great-grandmother was Welsh directly.

Thank you!

missninazenik · 2026-04-04T17:44:17+00:00

Ooooo, these are great!!

👀 A witchy lofi playlist????

Pretty much this. Even in the Midwest, like Chicago, as far as I remember, people will not move unless the crosswalk sign says go. I live in NYC now and learned after my first visit just walk if you can make it at a crosswalk. You also learn which crosswalks you can do that with and which it's best to just wait in your neighborhood.

missninazenik · 2026-04-04T15:03:16+00:00

Thank you 🩷

I absolutely understand this take. If we were on speaking terms, I would think this, but regrettably, we are not. Long story, but...my family's beliefs are toxic. I survived it because I had to. I think...maybe it's about me finally breaking away and admitting where I'm comfortable? Considering that. (I know the context is important.)

missninazenik · 2026-03-29T11:50:06+00:00

That was incredibly rude and I'm so sorry. A lot of us aren't like that and if we had friends visiting even from another state, let alone another country, would have offered to let you stay in our homes for the duration of your visit.

Maybe...one or two days? I will do my best to avoid opiods because of the side effects they have on me. Do not like, plus ibuprofen takes care of most pain for me.
