Courtney (she/her/they)

Hello lovelies, I am a (trans)Woman who is still in the process of discovering herself!

I have been working up the courage to be who I am for so long, I am excited to be figuring things out.

Pre-HRT, pre-fashion-sense, and pre-confidence.

Any and all tips and advice from more experienced women are welcome!

  • It’s gonna be interesting to see how long before anyone in my family mentions my changing appearance.

    The long hair comments mostly stopped in my late teens, but had a brief uptick two-ish years ago.

    This past month I’ve decided fuck it I’m shaving everything and if anyone wants to mention it I’ll tell them it weird they were string at my legs and leave it at that.

    We’ll see if anyone notices my wardrobe I wear outside is less and less masculine, and if you look closer is worn decidedly feminine. Probably not unless I wear my more cute tops…

    Once I start hormones eventually I’ll hit a point where boymode is no longer an option, and I guess I’ll find out how shitty my family really is.

    I doubt any of them are dumb enough to believe it’s the 5g solar wind farms lmao




  • One of my transmasc friends used to bind his chest with 6in KT tape for a week at a time, and before he got top surgery he was usually found with a small patch on his arm where he was testing the next roll for long term adhesive exposure.

    I need to get some baby oil, the last few days have been a little rougher than usual since I’ve been going out in more form fitting clothing recently.

    LPT: Even though acetone will get the sticky adhesive residue off, DON’T USE IT IF YOU’VE SHAVED RECENTLY! seems like a no-brainer, right? Well late-night me doesn’t always think clearly…


  • I didn’t know who zendaya was until Dune. I heard the name, never saw the face until dune. Apparently she was a super big name by then? Idk I’ve heard she’s in a lot of things but most of them I’ve never heard of or never cared to watch.

    It really just depends on how they’re famous and what media people consume.

    I’m absolutely positive there are dozens of artists of one type or another that I have never heard of that would make people do a double take and ask me what rock I’ve been living under.

    Sometimes I feel like that Daniel Thrasher sketch where hoodie guy doesn’t know who Lil’ Pregnant is.


  • It’s a large boulder (the size of a small boulder) about 4ft wide, never seen more than waist height, a little closer to one of the “walls” of the quarry.

    I’ll have to find an episode with it. It’s mostly visible after season 1 and before season 8 or 9. Idk what happened to uncover/bury/move it, but it does move like twice during the show, even though I’m positive it’s an actual rock and not a prop.

    I want to say the first time I noticed it was during the episodes where they’re trying to rescue Bra’tac and Ry’ac from the mine? After tretonin was developed. (Ry’ac says “it is hard to ration that which you do not have” when Bra’tac pretends to be taking his tretonin)

    When I see it again, I will definitely post to Chevron 7.


  • Don’t quote me on this, because I can’t remember the specific episode, comic, or book, but I vaguely remember the ancients settled places thy were most like their original homeworld of Alterra, and gave them the best comfort overall. That just happened to be what the Pacific Northwest region of North America looks like, so most of the planets are still pretty close to that. Some obviously have continued morphing over the millennia, but it makes a nice explanation for why everywhere looks like the same 30 mile area around their BC studio lol.

    At the time they didn’t really know much about the ancients, definitely didn’t know that Atlantis took off from Antarctica 5 million years ago…

    That’s fair, however it always felt a little weird for the scientist of all people to make such a broad generalization.


  • Always one of my favorite parts of that episode.

    You can see a decent bit depending on terrain in most places, more if the terrain is higher than surrounding areas, but she pops out of a crack, looks around and sees ice for a few hundred yards, and gives up.

    In fairness, without direction, some form of marker, or obvious landmark, wandering around in a blizzard would have been death for both of them… Not that they would have been able to walk to civilization even if they DIDN’T have injuries…

    Still though, they’ve experienced varied terrain in plenty of planets, so assuming the whole planet is ice is something Sam would have corrected someone else on in a heartbeat. (and also made the argument that for all intents and purposes, for them it may as well be a whole planet)

    I wonder how much better we could have had it if the location budget were like 4x what they had. Eventually you start to recognize specific rocks in the quarry… My wife likes to call one rock Terry because it has two vaguely eye-shaped holes, and “because it’s terrible how often they use that place”
