and I like it more than I ever have Rick and Morty. I imagine even in this sub I'm in the minority on this one.

They asked me why I was on spiro and estrogen, and I had to say I was trans 3 times before he understood me, and then they interrogated me about being trans and what my transition goals are. To be clear, I am here for carpal tunnel release surgery.

The nurse came back a few minutes later to again confirm my sex at birth "just to make sure they don't have to run a pregnancy test", and just now the anaesthesiologist, the one who had been asking me all the stupid questions, just came in with a female doctor and said she would be my anaesthesiologist instead. Did I just get handed off because he refused to treat me? This is supposed to be one of the better states for trans healthcare, too. I feel so incredibly bad for my sisters in redder states than mine.

I'm part of r/sapphicgayming but it's not quite what I want, I just don't have the time or energy to be that invested of a gamer anymore, and I'm having surgery soon that will curtail my ability to do so. What I really want is to make a friend (really just one, ideally) with whom I can chat daily about whatever is going on with them or me. I need them to be able to carry on a conversation (but it doesn't have to be a fast one, taking a while to respond is fine, we're all busy).

So I'm hoping I can tell y'all a bit about me and my interests, and maybe they will resonate with someone. I am a 38 year old disabled trans woman, happily married and primary caregiver to two small children. I spend a good chunk of each day just trying to distract myself from my chronic pain, and I'm hoping that having someone to chat with could help sometimes. Oh, I also have a damaged memory, and I apologize for that in advance.

Other ways I like to distract myself when the pain is bad are video games sometimes when it's only kind of bad and my hands are okay, or reading, or watching movies and TV shows. I mostly play single player games, right now I'm starting a new game in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. I read almost exclusively fantasy novels. My favorite author is Tamora Pierce.

I like a few distinct genres of movies and TV shows, and I would especially love it if we could connect over these. My favorites are animated, aimed at a variety of ages. My all-time favorite movie is Nimona. Animated TV shows I like include but are not limited to:

Dead End: Paranormal Park, The Second Best Hospital In The Galaxy, Centaurworld, Haunted Hotel, Little Demon, Exploding Kittens, Disenchantment, Futurama, Bob's Burgers, Great North, Gravity Falls, Owl House, Amphibia, and plenty more I can't think of offhand.

I also enjoy horror movies (and shows) exclusively of a supernatural or sci-fi nature, as well as otherwise non-horror supernatural and sci-fi media. My other hobbies include archery, crossbows currently but I'm getting back into traditional, I had to get a new bow my recurve had a twisted limb, and also I grow psychedelic mushrooms.

If any (or preferably all) of that strikes a chord, send me a DM and possibly also comment that you are doing so, because reddit doesn't like to tell me when I get chat requests.

On the *day* I had wires shoved up my spine from t12 to t4. I can barely move, let alone assemble string and draw a bow 😭😭😭

I'm finally going back and watching the show from the 90s, and I was really impressed by the way they animated Sabretooth's inner torment while Charles was reading his mind.

Every time I get to S2E7 I just get... 😬😬😬

Whoever wrote that, and whoever approved it, were NOT paying attention to what they were doing.

Which I'm not mad at at all, it's an incredible movie, if you haven't seen it, it holds up remarkably well!

Edit: Shit, maybe it deserves a hard R too, even if it still doesn't really reach Event Horizon levels

Live action could be fine too, but I think doing Division 12 in the style of Lower Decks would be perfect.

I'm at the point of needing a couple of new pairs, one for every day and one for hiking, where can I find ones that aren't too masculine that will fit me? I wear I think a size 10 or 11 these days in men's, wide.

To be fair, it involved my new/old regained hyperfixation special interest. I was changing out the iron sights on my hand crossbow for a red dot sight, and that meant removing the front sight that had been built into the bow. Doing that would have left a screw sticking out one side, so I needed a shorter screw in the same diameter, along with nuts and washers, and I needed them to be black instead of the silver they came in.

The hardware store where I got the screws did not have the washers, I had to go to another one on the other side of town, after the next one also didn't have them. I didn't think of buying the spray paint at a hardware store, but if I had I probably still would have gone to Walmart for the employee discount. I got them painted yesterday and put it all together last night, and I'm so happy with it, it came out perfect.

It amused me at one point thinking how easy all that would have been for a neurotypical person. I'm not even a handy hardware store kind of girl, I had to get help to find the right things at both places, and modifying something like this is almost completely new to me. I'm really proud of myself for getting it done and making it come out the way I wanted it to.

I also found a nice stick by the river yesterday like my wife has been wanting and sawed it off and removed the excess limbs. I'm proud of that too.

She is just starting her transition and really overwhelmed and I offered to help her find a sliding scale or even free clinic that is ideally explicitly lgbtq friendly, in the Fort Worth area. Would anyone be willing to help us out?

Thanks for your time 🙏
