It turns out that if I wrap enough process around the procedure (and use an autoinjector that hides the pointy end until it's too late) I can actually replenish my estrogen reserves without screaming, crying, fainting, or running from the room. yay me!
Well, it took a while, and the clinician saying that I tested as probably autistic instead of adhd, but yanno what? If these dangerous drugs can make me concentrate better than nicotine pills (which terrify me more than amphetamines) I'll take them:
A dyke & her bike (photo taken by my eldest son, thus avoiding my curse of being unable to take a good picture of myself.) Note the grin that I seem to have all the time these days! I like being a girl.

A twice-remanufactured Alco RSD-5 for the CdF LT&L. Note the stylish tricolour paint scheme, which is the French tricolour but angled 45° towards the front of the locomotive. This unit is operating in New Brunswick (not here on earth prime, sorry!):
