I stopped drinking, got a dog, and changed my gender. Now I'm up at 7am every day.

Seems pretty drastic just to sleep better. Hopefully you had reasons for getting a dog other than to solve a sleep issue.

And for stopping the drinking

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Honestly it's as good a reason as any for quitting drinking

And changing genders

Honestly, dogs are a full time commitment. Don't get one on a whim.

They might be a part of your life but you are their whole life.

I miss my dogs so so much, but since I live alone and work ungodly hours these days, I don't see dog ownership happening again until retirement. As things presently stand, I cannot be the owner a dog deserves.

So it does require a surgery.

This is a common myth that perpetuates anti-trans gender talking points.

The majority of transgender people get zero surgeries.

Of all those, I bet getting the dog was the biggest factor, lol. They need you when they need you. The threat of waking up to a puddle of pee is a motivator.
