Erin Banneret @banneret.bsky.social · 5hI spent more than fifteen years known to be trans among my friends and partners, before HRT, and I don't think it worked terribly well! The mental and emotional benefits of HRT were excellent, so I would go for HRT. I was always not quite gender conforming, so even without social transition... 000 0
Erin Banneret @banneret.bsky.social · 15/10/2026There were other factors, I was methodically making progress toward transition those last few years, but I don't know when it would have happened. 050 0
Erin Banneret @banneret.bsky.social · 15/10/2026After nearly two decades of not transitioning, I had a medical crisis, and decided that I would rather live and die as myself. 1100 0

I'm even going to have books available there, if anyone wants to buy a copy! I'll be signing anyone's book who wants it, too. Excite!! 092 0
Erin Banneret @banneret.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I was thinking the Google Nest Hub, but apparently they just don't manufacture many. My girlfriend Claire does some home automation, herself, but I think mostly indie. 000 0

Erin Banneret @banneret.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Initially, all those years ago, I was frustrated with Geren... his naiveté, his privilege. Now I more reasonably recognize how he was unprepared, not through fault of his own, but primarily through societal failures. 100 0
Erin Banneret @banneret.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Never forget that if push comes to shove, bigots have neither the fortitude nor the will that we do. We fight for our lives, and our communities, and they have nothing so potent to motivate them. 050 0

Erin Banneret @banneret.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I believe it is more the irregularity of dosage, and anyone self-medicating with EEn or EC is probably going to settle on a much more comfortable curve. 020 0

Erin Banneret @banneret.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Not sure if I want to take the body and facial hair risk, but I have thought about it. Need to check the clinical data, too, doesn't the new growth just sputter out when one stops? 110 0
Erin Banneret @banneret.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Generally the best practice is to add one thing at a time, or very compatible pairs of things. For instance, if I needed zinc and I knew I didn't have much copper, I could add them together. I think the main exception would be the classic multivitamin, which is usually a mild, thoroughly benign mix. 000 0

Erin Banneret @banneret.bsky.social · 10/10/2026It is one thing to be sexualized by an artist, driven by their passions. It is wholly another to be sexualized by a machine learning model, driven by trends. 020 0
Erin Banneret @banneret.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I'm actually sort of disappointed by the proliferation of femboy and futa games on Steam. Not because of the subject matter, though of course games with trans women would be nice, but because so many of them are just AI asset dumps and don't seem to carry any creative or even carnal inspiration. 220 0

Erin Banneret @banneret.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I could, but I shouldn't, given possible interactions or side effects. Centrophenoxine might not play well with my Wellbutrin and Vyvanse, but the upside might be great. Creatine might need to wait until I am cleared for full body exercise. 100 0
Erin Banneret @banneret.bsky.social · 10/10/2026There is one close to you, I believe, if you want to check it out? I will say I enjoy sports much more than I did before transition, and despite a long distaste for baseball, I would probably play. 010 0

Reposted by Erin BanneretShiloh Skye @shilohskye.com · 09/10/2026There's a character called Knoskali in Theta by @sashafox.bsky.social. He's a capitalist/feudalist/authoritarian nightmare who appears for like two scenes and then proceeds to haunt the rest of the narrative. I've rarely seen a villain be so effective with so little page presence. 64813 0
