The only boy I think about 💚💛💚
Critical update: I am also a boy that I think about
Some quick positivity:
I never had a girlfriend until age 28. I'm finally coming to terms with being intersex and trans this year, age 30. I've finally worked up the courage to stop taking testosterone blocking medication, and now I'm embarking on this wild journey to find who I'm becoming.
It can take a long time to grow into yourself, and it's never too late to learn to love yourself. You all deserve this feeling.
So here’s what I’ve been up to

MINNEAPOLIS — Over three months ago, a majority of the Minneapolis City Council pledged to defund the city’s police department, making a powerful statement that reverberated across the country. It shook up Capitol Hill and the presidential race, shocked residents, delighted activists and changed the trajectory of efforts to overhaul the police during a crucial window of tumult and political opportunity.
Now some council members would like a do-over.
Councilor Andrew Johnson, one of the nine members who supported the pledge in June, said in an interview that he meant the words “in spirit,” not by the letter. Another councilor, Phillipe Cunningham, said that the language in the pledge was “up for interpretation” and that even among council members soon after the promise was made, “it was very clear that most of us had interpreted that language differently.” Lisa Bender, the council president, paused for 16 seconds when asked if the council’s statement had led to uncertainty at a pivotal moment for the city.
“I think our pledge created confusion in the community and in our wards,” she said.
