thinking abt the idea of ekusu but he's in bega. like i joked abt it once on discord but i legit can't stop thinking abt it... other situations that come from putting a guy into a completely different gen aside he's just here to have a good time but also he's probably like killed someone on accident and just gone OOPS XP and left. he's got autism swag to rival brooklyn but in the complete opposite direction. i think it'd be neat.

So I’ve brought up my femboy maid outfit a few times on this blog because none of you people know who I am irl, but the friends who know of it in real life are sworn to secrecy about it. However, one of them is really bad at this. I’m now beginning to accept that him fucking up and accidentally telling them about it is the official signal that they’re now in the close friend group. Whenever he mentions it it’s because he forgot they didn’t already know, and everyone he’s brought it up to are people who I also kind of forget don’t already know about it, so for now it’s cool. And it’s also funny every time it gets brought up because he lets it slip in passing, and then there’s a brief moment of realization where either one of those who don’t know questions it followed by a moment of intense albeit comical “OH NO,” followed by a very humorous explanation. It’s a laugh riot.

Then there’s the other friend. She only let it slip to one person, but I don’t talk to that person enough to know if I trust her on it. So far none of her friends have brought it up to me and neither has she, so she’s probably fine actually and I just panicked at the time but still. Also, one of the earliest conversations I had with her was about how she was icked by seeing her ex wearing “a maid outfit and cat ears” on his instagram. She was one of two people who I said could never under any circumstances know about this dress because of that story, and now she knows full damn well that I, much like that dude, own a maid dress and cat ears and have worn it not once, but TWICE!! ALSO I WASN’T EVEN THERE WHEN SHE FOUND OUT!!! I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT WAS SAID!!! I’m probably concerned over nothing! There seems to be a mutual agreement among those who are friends with her that she’s entirely forgotten by now, and she certainly hasn’t been acting weird to me about it, so that’s nice. She’s actually been acting pretty cool! BUT STILL!! AAAAH!!!

Oh also the two people who found out tonight said I looked good in it after being shown pictures, so that was a huge W for me. I knew I looked good in that dress.

Gather around, my young friends and fellow dinosaurs, let me tell you about some BULLSHIT no one ever tells you about. I'm talking about menopause and perimenopause. Now, menopause has a very stringent medical definition. You have to not have had a period for exactly 12 months and a day to be considered in menopause. All the bullshit before that day once you start going through The Change is considered perimenopause. Here's some bullshit you might experience that people actually talk about when you're in perimenopause:

- shorter time between periods

- irregular periods

- hot flashes and/or cold flashes

- fucked up sleep

- OMG NIGHT SWEATS

- Vagina as dry as the Sahara desert

- lighter periods and/or endless bleeding like it's The Flood but it's in your pants

- lack of interest in Adult Fun Times

This time of joy can last anywhere from a couple of years to a god damn decade and there's no medical way right now to predict it.

Here's some of the REAL bullshit they don't tell you about but your dinosaur aunt is here to let you know:

- You can start perimenopause in your 30s, don't listen to idiot doctors who tell you you're "too young" because they don't know your body like you do.

- Perimenopause will make you HELLA DUMB. Seriously, I'm talking Bigly broken brain. Brain fog? Check. Short term memory? Wave goodbye to it. Ability to make words form out of thoughts? Yeah, good luck to you.

- Perimenopause can cause horrible fatigue because in addition to losing estrogen, you're also losing testosterone. Oh and that also leads to muscle wasting, cool cool.

- Things might suddenly hurt more because estrogen is known to be neuroprotective.

- If you're super lucky like I am, and like to collect rare illnesses, you might even get Burning Mouth Syndrome 💀

- And meanwhile, while you're going through this bullshit, you'll be getting gaslit by doctors who are operating based on 30 year old debunked data about how HRT causes breast cancer (not really) and that they shouldn't put you on it until you're in actual menopause. (Data shows starting HRT early can potentially prevent Alzheimer's in later years.)

- There are entire online clinics right now (I use Midi Health) focused on providing care for peri and menopausal patients and they will happily prescribe you HRT even if your regular PCP or OBGYN do not (if you meet the criteria). I've been pretty impressed with how holistically they view the patient. For full disclosure, I learned about them from my integrative health doctor and they do not accept Medicare (yet).

I'm 46 years old right now and I've been symptomatic for perimenopause for the last 8 years, although it's gotten the most dramatic in the past 2 years or so, which I hope means I'm almost done, holy hell. Yeah I was on the early side, but if it can happen to me, it can happen to you, so it's never too early to think about these things. And I hope to at least spare some of you the mind-fuckery I've been through because no one told me about most of this stuff, including my own mother who just DOESN'T REMEMBER what happened to her and now I completely understand why. And because I also have a connective tissue disease, I used to just dismiss my pain and fatigue as being caused by that illness rather than the loss of hormones.

Anyways, this is why we need Elders in our lives, so they can do Grandma Story Hour like I just did and validate you when the entire medical field tries to gaslight you. I hope you've found some or all of this educational/useful. Please share with your friends because we really do NOT talk about this stuff enough. (Ewwww Moon Blood!)

Stay well, and don't let the bastards grind you down!
