‘What If No One Wants Me After I Transition?’

So, I realized I’m a guy. Yay. Unfortunately, I’m also British.

I’m looking at being postmenopausal before I get testosterone. I’m fat and very feminine looking. Can I flirt with gay guys? Will any of them want me back? My tits weigh about two stone. I’m loved, but with fatness and surgery, will I ever be desired again? The gap between the desirable woman I was ten years ago and the invisible, never-seen-as-a-man current self is considerable. I sometimes wonder about not transitioning, because at least as a fat woman I’d keep the only “hot” features I have (the aforementioned tits. People love ’em. I don’t)

I guess I’m just scared and alone and wanting to know I’m worth something.

It’s time to liberate your pockets, boys. A mysterious golden orb that may be an egg was found on the ocean floor off the coast of Alaska in what is surely the first act of a sci-fi horror film. If you’re doing yoga and there’s a chance you might be observed, make sure your corpse pose isn’t too convincing. Chanetto Rivers’s baby was taken away after she smoked marijuana, legally, before giving birth. She just won $75K from the city for it. A Massachusetts teen died doing the Paqui “One Chip Challenge.” On the one hand, abolish the gerontocracy. On the other, who in their right mind would want to be a politician? Please watch this short clip of Sylvester Stallone meeting (and shadow-boxing with) the pope. Us too, Kevin! And don’t be fooled — there’s no “climate-friendly” beef.
