  • I am a scientist and I used to use SAS for stats, and then started doing loads of bioinformatics in R. Institute decided they werent going to license SAS anymore, and didnt tell us. We get an email the day of, to say no more SAS. Then we have to drop evrything and concert all our SAS models into R… Cue bitching from instiute leaders as to why we had to halt all publications. Idiots.





  • Dysphoria is a reeeeeeal bitch, and undermines the best of days. I was out and about having a fantastic saturday shopping for a new outfit. I am trying on a few dresses when I hear a store attendant yell, “this the womens changing room, please leave now!!” I just froze, half naked and all the dysphoria hit. I then hear someone yell back, “I dont care, I am trying on womens clothes”. You would think I would be relieved that it wasnt me.

    I walked out and it felt like the whole world was staring at me. All my joy and confidence was sapped for the rest of the day. I havent been misgendered in over a decade, live freely as myself… And yet. My daughter, she holds me up so much.
