I forgot that it's my mega week so no big info dump this time. Instead I bring a question: how do you practice gender self-care? Do you have any activities or rituals that make you feel more comfortable in your gender? Painting my nails and taking care of my hair are the most consistent ones. These shouldn't even be considered gendered activities by society, but I missed out on having long hair and painted nails when I was younger because of my assigned gender, so doing them now feels validating and gives me confidence.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

First pass oral means it goes through your liver, is highly metabolized by it, then goes systemic. Parenteral routes like injections skip the first pass, but eventually your body is gonna start cleaning stuff out cause thats what it does. Short of a clone organ or whatever that produces estrogen/progesterone on its own, youll always be clearing out whatever you put in instead of homeostasis.
