"Don't look back, that's not where you're going" is a great rational advice.

But the grief over lost time is an emotional thing for late transitioners. Logic does not cure emotions.

But personally I don't see all these years as lost time as much as I don't feel like being "born in the wrong body".

I got an opportunity only few people get: to experience the "other gender" from the inside. Not because I was a man, I've never been one and never felt like it. But because I was an explorer, disguised as a man, so I was able to see how men communicate with and act towards other (alleged) men.

And I can tell you, it's wild. It does not make sense to me how much energy, resources and emotions men put in pretending to be as high as possible on an imaginary hierarchy.

The men who taught me about a non toxic masculinity? Trans men. The self-reflection and consideration trans men put in creating their own way to be a man is incredible. ๐Ÿ’•

"Dressing according to the weather" is a concept that never made sense to me.

I very easily start to freeze or sweat, so I would have to carry around loads of layers of clothes.

Instead I dress according to my mood and the mood I want to get in (ref. enclothed cognition) and deal with whatever level of uncomfortableness I might encounter.

I've stopped gender therapy sessions a year ago I think.

There wasn't much to work on. But I somehow miss the conversations. It was like I paid someone to listen to me Infodumping ๐Ÿซ

Let me through ! I'm a chemist. And I have a liter of rectified spirits! And if needed a dewar full of liquid oxygen.

But don't do this without being trainedยน!

@gdinwiddie Haha, yes. Do you know Theodore Grey? He had a video on a similar topic https://youtu.be/SS7n4kVL5kA

Grey also has written some beautiful books about elements and molecules. At least for the elements book there also is an impressive (and impressively big) iPad app.

@grrrr_shark I was at the institute of organic chemistry, when a graduate student's experiment went wrong. It exploded in a fume hood, the shock wave was so strong it blew open the explosion flap on top of the fume hood and all the windows on this floor.

Luckily nobody was injured. So I could enjoy the spectacle of the firefighters running into the building in full protection suits with respirator masks, while Prof. Enders, the institute's head was strolling around the still smoking lab in a white dress shirt with rilled up sleeves ๐Ÿ˜‚

Hearing what wounds neglect or conditional love has ripped into people's souls breaks my heart.

Even with all the insecurities, self-doubt and imposter syndrome (not to mention RSD!) I only slowly start to realize what a gift this completely unconditional love was, that my parents gave me ๐Ÿ˜”

My mother was a complex and complicated person, but so am I. But I never felt not loved because of something I was, was not or didn't achieve.

I was the only child. The prince (or better princess, sorry mom and dad) they waited and longed for for so long. But I wasn't spoiled (well, maybe a wee bit).

Found on a wall at the river bank in Liรจge, Belgium: "A pair of mums is better than a shitty dad."

Something I tell my software students a lot when theyโ€™re looking for jobs is to remember that a shockingly large number of job descriptions are written by people in HR who have next to zero understanding of the industry, the specific team, or the business need.

All theyโ€™ve got to work with is fragments theyโ€™ve heard without comprehension, coming to them through a terrible game of corporate telephone.

@grimalkina @inthehands We should invite you for a talk or something. Honestly we do way better than most large industry organizations.

And we write (and optimize) our own job descriptions. I never would a non-technical person let do that. Results are terrible and it's unfair to the HR people.

The way HR works in all companies where I've been a hiring manager is that I do a lot of the actual "work" and get an HR assistant to do legal stuff etc. for me.

Writing posts is my job. Talking to candidates is, too. Working on the process is and I expect HR to follow up with what I tell them I need.

Liรจge has some very interesting architecture. Like La Maison Gentry, built in 1920 with plans from architect Clรฉment Pirnay.
