Warning: Grapefruit can interact with drugs, such as decreasing the effectiveness of estradiol, making Oxycodone last longer, increasing blood levels when on Viagra, and much more.

Grapefruit inhibits multiple enzymes in the small intestine, most notably CYP3A4. CYP3A4 is involved in the breaking down of a lot of drugs, so when it's inhibited Oxycodone becomes inactive slower, and estradiol won't break down all the way into estrogen. Drugs that are affected by grapefruit will often have warnings on their packaging

Personally, I like putting just a little bit of salt on my grapefruit, to counteract the bitter flavor. Dumping sugar on it doesn't help. Grapefruits are about half as sour as lemons, since they have half the citric acid content.

Grapefruits were accidentally created as a cross between the sweet orange and the pomelo, in Barbados. Those fruits originate from Asia, but were brought to the Caribbean in the 17th century. Since it's parent fruits are native to Asia, it grows well in Asia too.

some-controversy and peekaboo (China and Vietnam) are the two largest producers of Grapefruits, producing collectively 6.3 million tons out of the 9.8 million tons of worldwide production.

The painting was made by Robert Papp, who has a website here: https://robertpapp.com/. I don't really know anything about the guy.

The lemon things with all of the recipes was really cool, but to be honest I just like grapefruit raw, cut in half and ate with a spoon.

reminder that transition is a marathon and not a race. for example, im almost 3 years into hormones and i only just installed linux

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 weeks ago

I started transitioning socially well before starting hormones, by which I mean I went full time with Linux in 2022 and started hormones 4 months ago.

In my personal experience the more actual rural and actual conservative, the easier it is to pass. It's the weirdo faux rural chuds that live in suburbs and drive a lifted pickup to the office and back that get weird about trans people

A major moment is happening... [brief mention of transphobia from family]

After being on HRT for over 1.5 years, becoming more feminine, being interpreted as androgynous in so many scenarios, and even working on voice training so I can speak in an androgynous tone, I feel like, despite all of my progress, something was lacking from me being able to take on a true essence as myself full-time: the hair.

I am growing freeform dreadlocks, and though I love the process and keep getting pleasantly surprised by the development, it takes a lot of patience to be satisfied with such a hairstyle. I certainly am willing to wait, but I want to feel more affirmed in my hairstyle as it takes time to get long and more defined.

Initially, I started wearing headscarves which helps obscure my hair on bad hair days where the freeforms are acting a bit more unpredictable, but recently, I was able to take it a step further.

I was talking with an IRL friend of mine who is also non-binary, and I've known him for a long time. Me and him actually go back to when he was known by his deadname; that's how far, and we've both come a long way in achieving more euphoria. I told him that I started wearing headscarves, and he finds it cute and affirming for me.

I told him that I would like to maybe wear a wig now that I'm seeing how feminine the scarf made me, but due to my situation as you may know, I don't have much money to spend on things like that.

So, what happened is that this friend actually went out of his way to do some mutual aid with other people, and I was able to get money to get a neat, decently long dreadlocks wig for every day use that's in a color and style I absolutely adore.

I'm really fucking excited about this. It is expected to come in the mail exactly one month before my birthday, so it feels like an early birthday gift in a sense, the best one I could ever receive, and this is the opportunity that'll pretty much let me live as my transfem androgyne self full-time without too many "off days" where I look and feel more masculine than others.

It almost feels unbelievable especially since my transphobic family barred me from living as myself for so long that there were so many moments where I couldn't see the end of the suffering in sight.

mini-rant about fake allies, passing, lookism, transphobiasomething that really annoys me is when cis "allies" say (about an attractive trans person who passes) "just look at her, how can anyone say she's not a woman!" even if they mean well, like come on. it really shows where their priorities lie, and how shallow they are. I know for a fact that a lot of cis people's trans acceptance is purely superficial, and they need trans people to be conventionally attractive and gender conforming. of course they always say this about young pretty white women, and it makes me wonder - do they feel the same about a trans person who doesn't look like Hunter Schafer or Kim Petras?

and of course now I'm seeing comments like this about Vivian Wilson, who had the benefit of getting gender-affirming care as a minor. the ridiculous irony is that a lot of the fake allies who say stuff like that are the same ones who have "concerns" about trans kids getting care. so you need trans people to pass but you don't think they should have access to things that would help them pass? fuck off!

preaching to the choir here I know

Idk if it matters but my roommate and his org got our city to pass an ordinance declaring it a sanctuary city for LGBT+ people in specific trans people, it’s a fairly large port city in California and might be just lip service but I think it’s a good thing either way.

transphobiai hate it when people are so obviously dismissive but trying to hide it with their "concerns". like yes I've been on hrt for so long and had these exact thoughts for a decade but sure in 10 years i'll drop it all become a husband grow a beard and sire 23 children. That future me unknown to anyone on this planet is more important than me right now, which is why I shouldn't be on hormones, and be made to suffer for the sake of some made up person.
And by "people" i mean my parent. Honestly thinking of just cutting contact, cancelling the plane tickets. Maybe cutting back on financial support?

Changed my outside lights to trans flag colors for last night and tonight because I thought it trans lights improving visibility today was amusing.

But also it could be meaningful for someone. Use to think such displays were fairly meaningless until my cousin told me about how she started a trend in her girlfriend's neighborhood of pride flags and how such was important to her girlfriend's child feeling more welcome/safe in the neighborhood. Growing up, I never really considered I had anything to be worried about (despite my mom telling me I should hide having more than one mom from classmates).

cars are dangerous and I almost got seriously injuredI was crossing a crosswalk and someone accelerated from a full stop right into me and threw me into a busy road. I'm not hurt (don't even have any scratches) but it was so scary.

Not even the first time I've had a scary run in with a car. One time I was walking through my neighborhood and a guy in a sports car zipped around a corner and was inches way from hitting me very fast. Like he was speeding speeding.

God I hate cars.

name stuffHad a big city adventure and went to a protest and hung out with rad queer and trans ppl and it really lifted my spirits

First day in ages where I was with friends who only know me as me and not (deadname) and omg I needed that so much

It's not a big deal really but I got dinner with friends and gave my full (femme) name on my order which is still kinda nerve-wracking for me but was with friends and the staff were very nice gay guys who were very kind to me and god I really appreciate queer friendly neighborhoods

Saw a lot of cis ally stuff for trans rights from a surprisingly older and more lib seeming crowd and seeing trans people in public being accepted and defended and thriving really got me emotional and happy

Love my friends and am really grateful to have their support and acceptance

Oh guess hexbear finally refedded while I wasn't paying attention. Had a bunch of stuff I wanted to post over the past month but not really anything rn.

Overall life update is stuff's been going good but I'm pretty busy with school so haven't been super active online. Did get a job and housing secure for the next year so I don't need to be as frantic or overwork myself like I had to last year.

Had a really nice day out to play pool at a bar on Saturday with some friends, went out in a full lolita coord and even got to wear heels for the first time. I actually really like them, it was just a bit over a 1 inch heel but I find them actually very natural to walk in, even running felt pretty good. The ones I have aren't super high quality but given my size I don't really have much choice for lolita shoes lol (I'm literally the biggest size this brand even offers and they're the only lolita shoe brand I've found that does my size, even for custom orders). While I was out I also made plans to go clothes shopping with a friend I've not seen in a while after exams, got some tips on where to go for cute haircuts, and got like a dozen compliments on my outfit as per usual. I'm starting to be known around town for my fashion lmao.

(cw: misogyny)Also got hit on a ton by some guys which was pretty uncomfortable. I tried to mostly ignore it and just stay silent but it still took a minute for them to get the message.

Overall though it was a nice night out, though pretty draining too since it was like 7 hours.
