rosalyn on Nostr: I just realized that today is the autumnal equinox-- that means it's the anniversary ...
I just realized that today is the autumnal equinox-- that means it's the anniversary of my first year on HRT! [1]
I thought I still had a couple days to come up with a thoughtful retrospective lol
um, what I have concluded about being on hrt for a year is that it's pretty great, pretty much as good as I had hoped it would be for the ~6 years where I could only dream about being on it.
[1] The equinox does not generally fall on the same day every year; for instance, last year, it fell on September 23. However, the occasion of the equinox-- when the unbearable heat of summer makes its fastest retreat [2]-- is much more meaningful to me than the particular date, so I have decided that the autumnal equinox is my HRT anniversary, on whichever day it happens to occur.
[2] I will need to rework this metaphor if I ever move to the southern hemisphere
