This was about a year ago. I sounded about half as good as I looked here to be honest, but it was still a really nice experience. My thighs are like a quarter of the size they were in that photo due to atrophy and a lack of estrogen
On an unrelated note, just got back on estrogen a couple months ago and the effects of testosterone are starting to reverse, so fuck yeah
Your hair cut is awesome in that photo!
Hope you can get treatment for your disability and recover your ability to do stuff again! :)
it’s more about learning to live with it at this point since there are no approved treatments for it, but I appreciate the sentiment regardless
I figured as much and meant to say something more along these lines, my bad!
no worries!
Is it OK to ask what the disability is? There’s been a lot of improvement in muscular atrophy treatments.
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, which currently has no approved treatments and no real funding towards it. Muscular atrophy is unfortunately something I’m dealing with but working against that will make the ME worse, and this illness is in fact lethal. I’ve been unable to leave my bed since december.
This is such a rad pic! Your whole vibe is just perfect. And congrats on getting back on estrogen :)
Cool pic! We need more ladies who rock. I got nothing against guys who rock, I was raised on them, and still listen to them from time to time, but these days I’m way more apt to give a band a chance if they have a female singer (or transfem, that’s cool too — trans women are women, all day long). It’s just a whole other vibe to me. So, yeah. Rock on! I mean, as you can. Even if it’s just Rockband or, they got a new one coming out called Stage Tour that I’ve preordered… it’s all the rocking I can do, as a middle-aged, Gen X gamer. But it’s something, and it’s more than someone who only listens.
I played a ton of guitar hero and rock band when I was like 10-15. Good stuff. Grew up on the first three guitar hero games in particular.
We’re working on an album right now but progress is way slower than it used to be. We put a single out back in september though
You’re so young! It’s good though. May you have many years of rocking ahead of you. Pat Benetar and Joan Jett haven’t recorded in ages AFAIK but I think they still tour? Absolute icons. I’d say most of the ladies I listen to would list one or both as influences. And about half of the ones I listen to are Japanese.
honestly most of my influences are like, tool, the mars volta, circa survive, and some local transfem emo
Where can we hear it? (Edit: just found a link further down with your music. Disregard!)
Sorry to hear about your condition. I’m glad to see that you are still doing what makes you happy! Great picture!
Same, I’m such a sucker for a good punk or rock band with a frontwoman! There’s some really cool stuff happening creatively usually.
You’re really pretty, I hope you’re able to go out more soon.
Is there any recorded music you would feel comfortable sharing? :)
We just put out a single in september, and that picture is a screenshot of a video on youtube! Here’s the single:

We wanna embrace our plurality as much as we can on this next album since it’s probably gonna be our last one (not that we’re gonna die or anything, but this illness has the opportunity to get worse real fast).
The music performed at that show can be found in studio recording form here:
https://droptherapy.bandcamp.com/album/this-magician-is-a-cornered-animal
I also must recommend this song since it’s short and captures where I was back when the illness hadn’t progressed to the point it’s at now:

This stuff is really good! Or at least, its exactly what i needed right now. i am struggling a bit
hell yeah that means a lot! Definitely check out the whole album that the third track is on. It’s a seamless 30 minute experience that we tried to make in real time from july to november of that year and actively captures our old host splitting as the tracks go on. Death of a Headmate Part 2 is officially the second part but the whole album is gonna reference bits of the last one and tangentially the one before it.
I hope things get better for you.
Hell yeah!
Fuck yeah! Rock on!
