I'll be taking next week off on SGW. Several reasons why, but generally busy. I'll be out of town for part of the weekend and....

I bought a new car on Monday. My very first new car. For those who haven't, buying a new car is a Whole Fucking Process.

So yeah. Taking the breather.

@Hannah Iโ€™m ok. Surgery went well. I havenโ€™t seen results yet. Been in bed ever since. PT should be here sometimes this morning to help me get up at least briefly.

Learned from a Jewish friend yesterday that thereโ€™s an argument to be made that what was taken from Adam to make Eve is not accurately translated as a โ€œribโ€, but rather โ€œsideโ€ or โ€œaspectโ€.

So that would mean God took the feminine from Adam to make Eve, leaving behind the masculine.

Working backwards then, if Adam was originally made in the image of God and encompassed both masculine and feminine, God is enby, and by embracing both we can draw nearer to the divine.

Out of curiosity, TRANS FEMS: have you ever dated, been in, or are currently in a t4t relationship?

Getting ready for this feels like Iโ€™m planning a crime. I half expect the gender police to bust down my front door and haul me away in handcuffs at any moment.

Itโ€™s a wild thing to be on the verge of realizing your dreams.

I just got some really good news.

That presentation I pitched about SGW? For the prestigious panel that's hard to get into at the prestigious conference that's hard to get into?

I got in.

Coming out is hard, and coming out as trans is even harder. As trans folks, we have to do it in a way pretty much nobody else ever does.

This week on , we're looking at the rhetoric of How To Come Out Anywhere, so you can feel a little more confident when you invite the people you love into a deeper relationship with you.

@Impossible_PhD The matching energy observation is so true. My mother has told me several times that her initial gut reaction to my coming out was based almost entirely off of how happy and excited I was to share it with her. While she didnโ€™t at all understand in detail yet (many conversations would follow) she could tell it was a good thing for me in those first few minutes. She saw joy in my face and instinctively rushed to embrace it.

The end of spring term is a really hard time for me. There's so much to do, and so many different things to do, and the no rest plus constant task switching absolutely obliterates me because of my autism which, since I'm really not out about it, I can't even talk about or get help for.

It leaves me feeling deeply worthless.

And even if/when people tell me otherwise round this time of the year, it doesn't feel believable, because I can barely function for weeks on end.

I just feel broken.

Me: I'm so sick of this i'm three months post surgery why do I have so much wound separation and pain?!

Also me: Look at this pretty flagstone walkway I laid last weekend with an ajoining stone-walled succulent garden. I didn't want to rent a Bobcat so those two large 600 pound boulders I had to roll into position and stand up by hand.

One of the scariest parts of coming out is coming out at work. Unlike your family--blood or chosen--work is just a bunch of people who get thrown together, mishmash, and have to make things work out.

This week on #StainedGlassWoman, it's a guide to give to your coworkers when they get that wide-eyed look and think "Oh, s#!t, my coworker just told me they're trans." At least, it should keep people from asking what's in your goddamned pants.
