it ok to not be ready
Please spread this shit like wildfire. People go on and sit through the whole experience and they’re uncomfortable because they just want to please their partner and they don’t tell them that they want to stop because they are not ready. It’s okay not to be ready.

notice here that consent is revoked without ever saying no and consent goes so far beyond yes/no!!!!!!
mind-breaker
It is ok to say no

8,956 notesFavorite part of seeing a new doctor: when they ask about birth control
Doctor: Sexually active?
Me: I'm over 35 and have a toddler, so we'll say yes but it's really more of an aspirational thing.
D: Hormonal birth control?
M: No.
D: Are you trying to get pregnant?
M: Ha, no, once was more than enough.
D: Barrier method?
M: Just the aforementioned toddler, so no.
D: If you don't want to get pregnant, you really should be using some form of birth control.
M: Oh, I am. I find that the absence of fallopian tubes is extremely effective.
D: o___o checks my record Oh. Right.
M: >:-}
my favourite story is when my doctor was like she was in her third trimester, pregnant. I'd been seeing her for several years by that point. When i first started seeing her I was IDing as a guy.
"Is there any chance you could be pregnant?"
". . . No?"
"When was your last period?"
". . . . . . Never?"
She puts down her clipboard for a second and looks at me confused.
"Sarah, I'm trans, you knew me before I came out . . ."
"oh my god"
She held her head in her hands in embarrassment and disbelief that she'd forgotten and then blamed it on the memory issues that some people get when pregnant but I guess that also means that I was passing so that's nice lmao
That is amazing. I love your semi-himbo doctor.
My GYN office still asks me when my last period was every time I go in.
The same GYN office that did my hysterectomy a few years ago.
Truly incredible continuity of care.

Yes. Yes they are. And that's kind of the problem. They're on auto-pilot, talking and treating what they expect to see and not the patient actually in front of them. I put a humorous spin on it because I choose to laugh at the absurdity, but I'm honestly really annoyed that something as simple and routine as checking my medical record for recent surgeries is apparently beyond the capacity of the person who is supposed to be helping me figure out why my body is doing THAT.
If a doctor, especially a GYN, doesn't notice that my record says "C-section with bilateral salpingectomy," they're going to make some assumptions that could negatively impact quality and appropriateness of care. If I have abdominal pain, it is not going to be because of a twisted fallopian tube, for example. It may be from adhesions formed during the healing process from the C-section. That happened to my mother! That's also in my record! Because it could be relevant and important for my medical care team to know.
As an engineer, if I approach every problem with the same set of questions, that may work fine for 70% of the work in front of me. But I'd be a really bad engineer if I couldn't recognize that remaining 30% and respond appropriately.

67,145 notesGoing from being an introverted lurker on reddit to trying to post my own stuff here is so wild. I keep typing out a post, deleting it, then retyping because I think it's not good enough but then I look at other posts and why am I so worried?
It's like I'm at a fancy Italian restaurant and keep glancing around the room to see which hand people use to pick up the forks. But then I realize that everyone is shoveling spaghetti into their mouths using their bare hands and I'm like ah okay so I'm clearly overthinking this

822 notesDo you dog-ear books? I have a personal rule about it (paperbacks yes, hardcovers no), And I was wondering what you though about it.
People get angry at me when I do it, but I think it's nice to see a book that is read and loved, and doesn't look brand new, but all my friends think I'm crazy. Anyway, I was just curious.
P.s. Also I hate bookmarks for an unexplained reason they just annoy me.
Love your work! Have a good day!

Your book, your rules. I tend to use scraps of paper, post it notes, envelopes, bus tickets etc as bookmarks.
This feels like the right post to talk about my bookmark.
At lunch in middle school (I was 12), I wanted to make myself a new bookmark since I believe I had just lost the one I was using. I had a notepad with colored paper, a pen, a marker, and tape. So I put designs all over an orange piece of paper, folded it in half, and covered it in tape.
That is still the bookmark I use for everything. It has gone from book to book to book. It has graced The Lord of the Rings many times, and even The Wheel of Time twice!
How old is this bookmark now? 13. I have had it for over half my life at this point. I’ve dropped it in water, lost it a dozen times, and it’s still kicking. You must be expecting a small scrap remains, that it looks poor, and sad. Yeah, it could use a couple new pieces of tape (something never been done before), but I think it looks pretty good!
My teenage bookmark. Anyone think it can reach adulthood or legal drinking age?
All hail the immortal middle school bookmark!
