I can see that I have messages to respond to and I’ll get to them ASAP.

We made an offer on a house and it’s been accepted so I’m busily freaking out and dealing with the purchasing process.

Contracts yet to be signed but we fucking did it! 💑🏡💃

Dude what the fuck? Don’t say transsexual. Nobody says transsexual any more unless they’re a transphobic asshole. It’s not a widely preferred term at all. Don’t talk shit about the evolution of the language WE created for OURSELVES. You’re cis. You don’t fucking get a say in that. Don’t ever call me transsexual. It’s fucked up and harmful. Trans people. Trans folks. Not transsexual.

I didn’t call you transexual. I don’t even know who you are.

Transsexual is a pretty common term among the older generation? Transgender is really the ~new kids~ term, anon…. Transsexual is still being used and embraced by plenty of people, just not the hip, tumblr crowd.

I refer to myself as transsexual. I am completely changing my physical sex.
How is the word “transsexual” transphobic? Just because it’s not your preferred descriptor for yourself doesn’t make it transphobic.

Same here.

Same.

Buying a home is stressful and we haven’t even made an offer on one yet.
Saw three today.
One of which is great but beyond what we want to spend, especially as I’d replace the carpeting and update the kitchen/bathroom. Which I can easily do myself but materials are still an expense to consider.

Our theory is spend as little as possible and pay it off as quickly as possible.

We don’t want a show home, but with a soon-to-be-teenager we’d like room enough for K to have his own dedicated space(s) and room enough for our constant influx of visitors. I like my own space.

I’m just not sure we can manage the latter and the former at the same time.

I feel blessed to even be able to consider these things, but that certainly doesn’t make it any less stressful.

I’m an old school binary transsexual. I’m a male and I really don’t care how anyone else identifies. Do you. With that said, I need people outside of the binary to stop pressuring me into adopting new language and labels that do not represent me or my experiences. I do my best to be understanding and respectful of our differences, but I draw the line at erasing who and what I am to make you feel better.

Man, thank you for being able to articulate what I often feel. I’ve been avoiding tumblr due to the shitstorms regarding this kinda thing.

So much stuff has happened.
K didn’t get into his first choice high school as he wasn’t from a “feeder” primary school, but had an interview for his second choice yesterday and was offered a place on the spot.
He was elated and I’m just happy he’s happy.

We dropped him off at school (his primary school) at 6:30am this morning as he’d elected to go to a Group Leadership Conference. He was bleary eyed and I think regretted his decision somewhat when we woke him at 5:30am, but he still got his stuff together and was ready to go regardless.

I’m super proud of that kid.
