Got myself a gender-affirming household device today — the BBQ Scrub Daddy!
As can be seen in the product images on the packaging, it is:
- Water Activated!
- Protected by heat-resistant ArmorTec STEEL™!
- Designed for heavy duty scouring
- Exclusive Materials to control my scrubbing power!
- Integrated bottle opener for that cold brewski I definitely have earned now, after cleaning up my own mess
There's even a small cut-out in the box where you can touch the sponge and FEEL THE DIFFERENCE before purchase.
Sure, hoping it's a nice scubber for the grill, but man, do they go overboard with assuring me this is a super masculine product for real men. Thinking this is probably a subsidiary of #EagleTactical
(And oh, that "water activated" feature is the fact that if you soak it in water and directly use it on your hot grill, it WILL produce steam. Cool.)
This week I'm going to take time to write and thank EVERY person that donated funds or a meal, after my #genderaffirming surgery. I'm also writing up a post that can help others who might be considering the same surgery.
I am so glad I asked for help. Even though the world is VERY hostile to trans people, and too many cisgender people mostly ignore this... there is a lot of love to be had. I let myself receive it!

I had my third post-surgery visit to the surgeon yesterday. Upon seeing my results he got confused & thought I was 2 months post procedure - I'm two 1/2 weeks out. Strength-building, yoga, vegan foods, meditation, & mindfulness work - as well as the work I put into a social network, and my therapist - are the major factors to my swift healing.
It's a major surgery, I have medical movement restrictions for five more weeks! But I'm doing well.
I'm healing well from #genderaffirming #surgery but I'm still sore & fatigue a bit easily. Trying to be patient. If everything continues to go well I'll have all medical restrictions lifted by Aug 7.
One of the smartest preparatory things I did, was to ask my bestie to set up a meal train. This was hard to do - it's hard to ask for help b/c we worry people won't say Yes. But we got so much support & this has been so special in this very important time in my life! #lgbtq #nonbinary #transrights
"The House of Representatives will soon vote on legislation that threatens 10 years in federal prison for any provider of gender-affirming medical care to #transgender people under 18. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is pushing this proposal to criminalize the healthcare that transgender people need. While such a bill is beyond the pale, it won’t be the last. Any national ban on #GenderAffirming care would be devastating. You and your elected members of Congress are our last line of defense against this national threat.”
I simply am in awe of how well and quickly my body is healing. And how not-gross it has been all in all. Worst part was 1. How my throat felt after anesthesia, on the two hour drive home and 2. how hot the tight dressings made me - but they were removed on day six.
I am so amazed with myself I did it. I had to overcome so much to do it but I did it.
“It shouldn’t be possible!” my boyfriend said. “My surgeon said it wouldn’t happen.” I felt a surge of fear. I know pregnancy is dangerous, but I haven’t had someone I loved so much risking it before. “What?” I asked. “My tits are coming back.”

Slept very well, had my first post-op visit, came home and napped. Got up and took a long walk! Home resting again. Eating and hydrating well. Going to drop my nerve pain medication because it makes me feel drowsy/goofy. Doing really really well. 10000% sure this is in part due to how hard I worked on my physical, mental, emotional health before #surgery. #genderaffirming #lgbtq
I am in my boredom era of recovering from #genderaffirming #surgery. I am recovering very well (I think! Surgeon visit in about an hour) but my body can’t do what my brain wants to do. It’s very hard to be patient. I feel a bit worthless. #trans #lgbtq
I'm two days post- gender affirming surgery and things have been going really well. I prepared well & took care of my body and mind as best I could prior. I also just weirdly think that because I was suffering so much before surgery, it was likely I'd suffer less after. That's just superstition, but it seems to have worked out that way.
I have a healing journey ahead of me but so far I've been doing so well. Big thanks to ALL who have supported in various ways!
First morning post-surgery! I slept well. I can't overstate how much yoga asana (strength building), breathwork, and meditation helped prepare me. I am also on the ERAS protocol which so far is fantastic. Non-narcotic surgery and non-narcotic pain management after, early mobilization.
Of course things could go sideways but so far things are going so good!
The fucking DAY I get contacted to set up surgery consultation for gender affirming surgery is the same day the U.S. House passed an anti-trans bill that would ban federal Medicaid funds from being used for gender affirming care services. The inhumanity of it all is exactly how fascism works. 🙄😭 #trans #genderaffirming #lgbtq #transgender #medicine #healthcare
PSA: gender affirming care for cis people looks like:
-- ED medication
-- HRT (post-menopause, testosterone replacement)
-- fertility treatments/IVF
-- muscle enhancers
-- breast augmentation/reduction
-- penis implants
-- rhinoplasty, face lift
-- lip/cheek/other filler
-- anti-aging treatments
-- hair plugs, eyelash growth
-- liposuction
-- name change
Go forth & ruin Memorial Day ✨

Looks like the American Association of University Professors agrees with me!
#AAUP, Allies Sue over #Trump Policy of Arresting and Threatening to Deport #Students and #Faculty for #LawfulSpeech
"The national AAUP; chapters at #Harvard, #Rutgers, and #NYU; and the #MiddleEastStudies Association today filed a lawsuit seeking to block the Trump administration from carrying out large-scale arrests, detentions, and deportations of noncitizen students and faculty members who participate in #ProPalestinian #protests and other protected #FirstAmendment activities.
"We believe that the administration’s ideological-deportation policy violates the First Amendment by targeting constitutionally protected speech that Americans have a right to hear and engage with. The policy has created a climate of fear and repression on campuses around the country. We are represented in the case by the #KnightFirstAmendmentInstitute at #ColumbiaUniversity, #AhilanArulanantham, and Zimmer, Citron & Clarke LLP.
"Following executive orders issued by President Trump in January, the federal agencies that enforce immigration laws have arrested and detained several people associated with U.S. colleges and universities, including a legal permanent resident, on the basis of constitutionally protected speech and association.
"Today’s filing argues that the ideological-deportation policy has created a climate of #repression and intense fear on university #campuses, 'terrorizing students and faculty for their exercise of First Amendment rights in the past, intimidating them from exercising those rights now, and silencing political viewpoints that the government disfavors.'
"'The Trump administration is going after international #scholars and students who speak their minds about #Palestine, but make no mistake: they won't stop there. They'll come next for those who teach the history of #slavery or who provide #GenderAffirming health care or who research #ClimateChange or who counsel students about their reproductive choices. We all have to draw a line together—as the old labor movement slogan says: an injury to one is an injury to all,' says AAUP President Todd Wolfson.
"'The First Amendment means the government can’t arrest, detain, or deport people for lawful political expression—it’s as simple as that. This practice is one we’d ordinarily associate with the most repressive political regimes, and it should have no place in our democracy,' says #JameelJaffer, executive director at the Knight First Amendment Institute."

#VivianJennaWilson on Being #ElonMusk’s Estranged Daughter, Protecting #TransYouth and Taking on the #Right Online
In Teen Vogue’s special issue cover story, the estranged 20-year-old daughter of Elon #Musk talks about the 'cartoonishly evil' #Trump administration and being a young #TransWoman today.

Excerpt:
"Wilson’s vibrant life, full of possibility, underscores the lifesaving power of #GenderAffirming care for young people. As a child, Wilson struggled through #GenderDysphoria and the attendant mental health issues it often causes. She’s horrified by the wave of #AntiTrans legislation targeting young people like her. In the US, her peers are being demonized by the right, and are left undefended by Democrats. One of Trump’s first executive orders upon retaking office attempted to bar federal funding for health care providers that perform gender-affirming care for young people under 19; multiple federal judges have blocked the order from taking effect for now."
