Intro post! I'm Lee, 21, lesbian, from Aotearoa. I'm (essentially) in remission from leukaemia. I'm studying law and global studies, I also work full time in animal rescue, and I hold a zoology degree. I compete in dogsports. I love hiking and tidepooling.

so yeah ive been complaining to my (male) gp and (male) gynaecologist about being so sore and constantly tired for MONTHS and they told me it was normal side effects of my medication and just to have a coffee, and i said no that something is so wrong, and turns out it's leukaemia

I got diagnosed with cancer six weeks after the make a wish cutoff. I just need everyone here to know that. I could have met the tortoise at Auckland zoo with one testicle but instead I turned 20.

i just had a 40 minute facetime with an 80 year old trans lady in my life because she accidentally saw some queer discourse on facebook and wanted me to explain it, and then said that she has been stabbed by a cop more than once so she cannot bring herself to care

it's chronic myeloid leukaemia that im refusing to google, im going to need a tablet every single day for the rest of my life + a bone marrow transplant, but i might even be able to avoid doing chemo so it's not a terrible outcome and the ppl at the hospital are so nice

this came out after ONE SINGLE BLOOD TEST btw, my white blood cells were so obscenely elevated they called it an acute crisis and the cell count would have been high for the past year

Get a blood test I’m so serious, I thought I had iron deficiency or something and it was leukaemia

the conclusion here is that you need to keep your arguments on twitter PLEASE because explaining he/him lesbians to an 80 year old at 1am is not fun

Actually being a lesbian has fixed so much of my self esteem issues because before I hated myself for being butch and fat and now I know like 17 lesbians who constantly thirst tweet about fat butches

to clarify, her point is that gnc/trans people face such significant present and historical challenges that it's really ridiculous that there's so much effort put into debating validity and language when people should be embracing and protecting gnc/trans people.

found a therapist who is a butch lesbian who specialises in SA trauma, crazy mothers, anxiety, and autism, and her practice is 15 minutes away... what's the catch...
