This post is part of my participation in the 30-day genderqueer challenge, which I have modified to a weekly exercise.
Today’s prompt: Are you taking any steps to physically transition?
The short answer here is just “no”, though that’s not the whole story.
I have vaguely intended to work on building more muscle for a while now, but I haven’t really done much about it. Because I don’t care that much, and also because habit formation is not my strong suit. I started flossing regularly this year, and that is enough new things thank you very much!
In terms of medically assisted transition, I am not terribly motivated right now. I have considered both testosterone treatments and chest surgery on and off for a few years, but for now even if I was 100% certain these were things I want, they aren’t priorities or things I would want to do right now, for various reasons. It seems likely that unless anything drastically changes in how I feel about my body, what ever desire I have for these things will be outweighed by the sheer amount of work that would likely be involved in getting them. The cost/benefit just doesn’t work out for me.
