    Fun fact estrogen makes people feel colder. Many trans women, including myself, have a much harder time staying warm after starting hrt. I don’t remember the exacts but it changes blood flow and makes it easier to lose heat

        My core is a god damned furnace.

        My feet? My hands???

        Icicles.

        It’s painful! I shove my hands into my armpits to warm them but my feet can’t contort like that.

          Hold up, could I be getting cold hands and feet because my hormones are messed up? Now that is messed up.
          I just sit cross legged so I can shove my feet in my legpits aka knee behind

            Maybe? I’m on the depo shot, and it is a hormone shot I’m pretty sure, and I’ve never had colder feet. So other hormone changes could absolutely do things to feet and hands I’d think!

            I am trying to imagine a woman sitting cross legged, but somehow have her foot behind her knee where it bends. And I cannot imagine that without the visual looking like some glitchy AI image. Like the leg would have to bend in half between the knee and the ankle for that to happen.

            LADY!!! HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS??? This is like some circus side show shit. There’s the man with a beard of bees, and the woman who can bend her leg in inhuman ways. Are you SURE you have bones? Wait, are you a cat? Have cats finally gained sentience within the human world, and begun understanding human languages and also technology? I knew this day would come. I hope everyone realizes that the 48th president is going to be a cat. And they will enact laws such as “Mandatory knocking things off tables” laws. They’ll also make it mandatory for you to open the door for them, so that they can sit there and mentally laugh at how ridiculous you look opening the door for them at their beck and call. Your cat owns you. Your cat laughs at how pathetic you look scooping their poop. That’s why they poop IMMEDIATELY after you spend 30 minutes cleaning their litter box. IMMEDIATE poop. I mean like you haven’t even gotten up off the floor yet, and they’re already in there pooping. Just to show you that they don’t appreciate your work at all. They poop on your hard work. Literally. And then every morning you’ll wake up to them inserting their butthole right into your face. They haven’t figured out how to just sit on your face, but they’re trying real hard. You’re their servant, and they love it. Now they’re going into politics.

            And honestly? I’m kind of looking forward to it. That’s how bad trumps presidency is. I am now willingly open to the idea of a cat as president instead of him. Knowing full well how much of a little asshole cats are, it can’t possibly be worse than trump.

          You could put your feet in your kneepits, but I’m not sure how warm they are.

          You just reminded me of the movie Superstar, or the SNL sketches it was based on.

          “Sometimes I get nervous, so I stick my hands into my armpits to warm them up…AND THEN I SNIFF THEM LIKE THIS!!!”
