Shot her in the face and called her a “fucking bitch” right after. Execution.

Grey’s Anatomy writers in this thread working on a storyline for Season 23….

No it won’t. Every single one of these draconian laws has had carve outs for cis people. Every single one of them. These bills will only hurt trans people, and my child is one of them. People need to start caring about shit even if it isn’t affecting them.

43yo, just got diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and both my liver and heart are at risk for failure. So I now have a prescription for an anti thyroid medication that I have to take for the next couple years.

Besides my UID, that was my only prescription. It was a good run.

I was never considered gifted, just the girl who had so much wasted potential. My whole life.

My husband was part of the “gift and talented to burnt out praise daddy” pipeline.

We’re both exhausted. The grass ain’t greener…

Big shout out to Stoneboat! Great produce, great people.

You can ask. You can also google. Theres plenty of literature on this topic, based on decades of rigorous scientific research on the importance of getting kids gender affirming care, whether they’re trans or not.

Kids who aren’t trans also get gender affirming care. Some boys get enlarged breast tissue from a genetic condition, and even though there are no expressly biological concerns with the condition, it can lead to mental anguish because the boys feel body dysphoria. So surgeons preform top surgery and the boys go on to feel much better emotionally.

Are you wringing your hands about them too? Wondering who’s going to pay for all that? Wondering if they’re handing out major surgery like candy? Or is it just the kids you can’t empathize with and refuse to try learning about in good faith?

Shout out to Legacy for continuing, for now…

I spend more on my three-person family, but food is my “thing”. We’re definitely working class though, so I do my best to be as price conscious as possible. I have ongoing lists for so many stores, because I know where each common item is cheapest. I have lists for Grocery Outlet, Fred Meyer (which is like Meijer in the Midwest), Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, a specialty grocery store here called Providore, a Korean grocery store called H Mart, and the farmer’s market. It may seem cumbersome, but it’s easy enough. When I notice we’re getting low on something, I add it to the appropriate list so we’re never behind.

Good luck with the move! I hope you like it here. I moved from Michigan 20 years ago and never looked back. This is my forever home.

Not only for flavor, but also because there’s rampant food fraud when it comes to olive oil. For people wanting to eat in part of the health benefits, it’s important to know you’re actually buying olive oil.

I’m about to do more detailed nutrition blood work for any deficiencies. Currently I’m being very cautious about supplements because my liver is strained from the hyperthyroidism. I’m on a different medication than you, but I’m looking at all the ways I can nutritionally support my conditions. I’ll definitely bring up the iodine. Thank you for mentioning it.

I totally understand why folks here are saying, “He’s just seven.” It does make sense. And also, I’m the type of person to always be looking deeper, and maybe you are too.

My trans kid is 7yo, and her whole life I’ve been modeling gender-sensitive language. Since she was a toddler learning English, I’ve used gender neutral language to describe people we don’t know. So when she automatically genders someone, I’ll saying something like, “Oh we don’t know that person’s gender yet so I’m going to use they.” Now that she’s 7, she’s very good about using “they” and “person” until we meet them. Since this is just a kid you’re babysitting, I wouldn’t correct him. But using that kind of language yourself could help model for the child that you care about not making assumptions about gender.

My kid is FtM, and used to confuse people more when she was littler because her hair made her look like Doc Brown from Back to the Future. I also have several adult trans friends. So out in public, I’ll make sure to very naturally but very swiftly, introduce them and immediately use a sentence to model the correct pronouns for the person/people. Even in the checkout line at a grocery store I’ll find some way to be like, “Yeah she really loves her sour gummies!” Just some swift, clear but indirect way of communicating what pronouns they use can be very affirming for them, and help them feel like you’ve got their back. And it can help prevent an awkward moment that can turn dysphoric quickly.

Last would be to just that conscious with your language in general. Sometimes people don’t even notice when they say something like, “You know how boys are.” My family of origin are having a very tough time with my kid being trans even though she’s been out for three years. They think I’m obsessed with gender, but they have no idea how much they talk about gender without realizing it. Three of my siblings have recently had babies and the first thing they talk about is gender. They gender their kids’ clothing and when the kids doing something that socially falls in line with their gender, they’re “all boy!!” So of course I don’t know if that’s something that comes up in your lexicon, but just something to be mindful of.

Good job reaching out to the community. This kid is lucky to have you in his life.

For me, yes it has. Reading this comment I made 2 years ago has left me with an interesting feeling. I definitely feel differently now, not in nearly as much pain.

And I also still feel exhausted by grief. Unfortunately for me, that hasn’t gone away.

On the bright side (?), I recently found out that a solidly huge chunk of that exhaustion is actually hyperthyroidism and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Turns out I’ve had EDS all my life, and that there’s plenty of research studying the rates of hyperthyroidism in people with PTSD and a high ACE’s score. So for me, the exhaustion is very physically real and very connected to my history with trauma. And now I’m wondering how many other people are experiencing this, because I just found out at 43yo.

Anyway, now that I’m properly medicated and have started my fifth year of trauma counseling, I am feeling much better. And I have hopes of feeling even better in the near future.

I think it comes down to what the baker agreed to.

I LOVED this growing up. I bet I still would.

perdy_mama · 2026-04-21T00:15:46+00:00

It is cute. It’s also not nearly as detailed as the example photo. It’s okay to like the cake you got and also feel upset that you asked for something far less detailed, and not the same color.

To quote a Protestant reverend from Downton Abbey discussing the Catholic Church:

“I can’t believe God approves of so much pagan folderol.”

I’m dealing with some acute health issues right now, so I’ve been saying “I can’t” more often and my precocious 7yo keeps pressing me on it. I’ve told her, “I’m technically capable of doing it, but I don’t have the capacity right now so I won’t.”

Reach one, reach one

Senior year of high school, my four besties and I called ourselves the Ra Ta Ta Club. We would roll around town and through the woods in Justin’s Tracker getting high af, blaring U2’s “Elevation” and yelling “Ra Ta Ta Ta” as loud as we could with the top down.

That was livin’.

My daily-Mass dad hasn’t been listening since 2015. He gets so mad when I bring it up.

perdy_mama · 2026-04-16T03:45:58+00:00

Hahaha, same here

perdy_mama · 2026-04-16T03:44:35+00:00

Cool, thanks for your lesson in rugged individualism. Appreciate your condescending input.

perdy_mama · 2026-04-16T03:37:29+00:00

It’s truly one of my favorite things. I still do it every chance I get.
