#testosterone: week 64 Pronouns: it, he Missed two updates. Life’s been intense. Had my second shot 2 weeks ago, a smaller dose this time. I tensed up so the injection was painful & my soreness, while limited to the one leg this time, was intense for the following few days, especially after I ran for a bus. Following that, I was all but unable to walk for another day. I’ve neglected my exercises but have mostly stayed on top of the mediation. I believe the breathing has improved my singing. Thick dark hairs have appeared on the backs of my thighs, right above the knee. I remember my mother shaving the area on herself, the darker hairs conspicuous against her otherwise thin blonde fuzz. When I began my transition I told a friend of the effects: the moustache, enlarged clitoris, so on. Her response was to laugh & tell me she had those things already. Gender is not so binary as we are led to believe. As I type about the journey I am privileged to be on, I think about the world at large. We imagine history progressing in the right direction but that is not always the case. A cisgender woman has been deemed to have “too much” testosterone in her system & barred from competing unless she takes steps to medically shift towards mediocrity. Meanwhile, the white house has sanctioned a doctor’s right to deny people like me medical care, because nothing says religious freedom like letting people die in the street. All of these things are connected & effect each other. Whatever transphobia I deal with, even unbeknownst to me, has been validated by these high profile events. Bigots have been increasingly emboldened by the rising tide of fascism these past few years & it’s terrible to behold.
