A Love Letter to my Changing Body
Author's note: I am non-binary and transgender, and in October 2020 I begun medical transition using testosterone. This piece examines the self love this choice has encouraged. Originally written in response to a Reddit thread where a young trans man said he was feeling discouraged by how so much discussion of testosterone HRT is just jokes about how sweaty or greasy or pimply we become, and he asked to see some romanticisation of the feelings.

New Year's Reset
Of course, it’s the first year where I don’t try to make a New Year’s resolution that one falls into my lap unbidden. We all know how resolutions tend to go; they hang out for a week or so before you’re back to old habits - now with the added guilt of failure on top. Well, as a chronic goal-failer, I’d decided to simply not set a resolution for this year, and to just let things happen as they saw fit to happen. I’m mentally ill and disabled, with severe chronic pain, and year-long goals have just never been very achievable for me. Sometimes my brain, sometimes my body, sometimes all of me will just shut down and I will lose all momentum, coming to a screeching halt as I drop my plans like hot potatoes. So no, I’d decided, no huge lifestyle changes this year. No pressure to maintain momentum, and no guilt to feel when it inevitably all falls apart.
