Real tips for your t shot

(TW injections, needles, syringes, etc)

1. Keep things clean, wash your hands before and don’t store things in the bathroom

2. Only use sterile items once and only open sterile packages right before you need them (and avoid touching them to other unclean items)

3. If you are doing an im injection and your muscle involuntarily tenses up, try focusing on a item on the wall near you and focus (most of) your attention on that

4. stretch the skin of the injection site a little as you insert the needle and let go after you pull it out- it will help prevent fluid from leaking after

5. applying light pressure to the injection site helps prevent fluid leakage

6. it will be more painful the more slowly you go, but don’t go so fast that you don’t have control

7. most injectable versions of t are oily or viscous, don’t try to force the plunger down too quickly

8. letting the needle sit in the site for ~10 seconds can help with spillage as well

9. take deep breaths- don’t forget to breathe. the injection may be scary but passing out with a needle in is even scarier

10. Above All Else- Listen to your doctor. I am not a doctor and these tips are just things that I have picked up from my doc and my own experiences over time- if they disagree Listen To Them- I am just an idiot on the internet. They have a degree in it, I do not.

8 super good awesome tips for doing your t shot

(TW needles, syringes, injections, etc)

1. Play in the mud first- the dirtier you are the better

2. get your dog/cat to do it for you- it can be stressful doing it yourself so asking a beloved pet to do it can help

3. use a comically large needle- the cartoons say that they should be that large and I learned everything I know from cartoons

4. inject it into your tongue- it’s a muscle so it should work the same as any other im injection

5. let your evil advisor put it in your food and be totally surprised when it turns you into a llama instead (optional- change your name to kuzco)

6. use someone else’s needles- sharing is caring!

7. give yourself the shot like you’re stabbing yourself in the stomach dramatically- 10 bonus points if your comically long needle hits any organs!

8. store the vial and supplies right next to the toilet- bathrooms are the cleanest place in a home

a list of things that helped me/ I wished I’d know for top surgery:

1. lots of pillows are a must (and if you hate sleeping on your back sleeping slightly sitting up might help)

2. move everything you might need to an easily reachable spot (or get one of those grabber things at the dollar store)

3. get easy to wear (and climate appropriate) clothes (I wore a short sleeved onesie for the first week or so)

4. get a water bottle that can be in bed with you

5. get a long charging chord

6. to wipe your butt after pooing put one leg up on the toilet seat and reach down between your legs and wipe from back to front (carefully[you could get a yeast infection if you’re not])

7. remember to fill up any dog food containers before surgery because the bags are typically heavy and uncomfortable to lift for many weeks after

8. after surgery, most likely, a nurse will help you get back into your clothes, for their sake and yours wear slip on shoes (no laces!)(and if you have sensory problems like me and don’t like your socks on crooked, don’t wear socks to the hospital) and a button/zip up top

9. Pineapple juice helps with swelling (and if you don’t like pineapple juice you can mix it with regular apple and it will help hide the taste)

10. my incisions had a lot of swelling above for almost 3 weeks after surgery, so don’t stress if they look really ugly after

11. healing was not nearly as big of a deal as I thought it was going to be, it was (for me) not as painful or invasive as I thought

12. trim your chest/armpit hair (it’ll make taking off bandages and tape much easier)(not to mention it’s easier to keep clean without a shower)

I know some of these seem really redundant but I underestimated their importance. If you have any more questions feel free to ask

Channel your inner beauty and the beast and empty out a wardrobe and pretended to be a member of the beasts entourage all of the time. just cut little leg holes in the bottom and maybe some sight holes and you’ll be good to go about your daily life, not to mention no one will ever crowd you on the subway again

So I’m not saying the end-all-be-all solution to dysphoria is being an animorph but I am definitely saying that. Because if you showed me a picture of this and asked me to gender it I would not be able to answer

So transphobes clearly don’t want us in any public restrooms, so my solution is to hold it in and let it build up and individually claim all of the world records related to worlds largest sh*t so that no cis person could ever wish to hold those titles. Take that JK Rowling

Fight sh*tty opinions with literal sh*t
