-> file: fediverse/707 ══════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────── @user-524 Sometimes when I feel overwhelmed with all the boilerplate I just start coding and making stuff. Doesn't matter if it works, doesn't matter if it says / FIXME / all over the place, doesn't matter if it includes header files that don't exist yet, as long as you're hacking out the mechanics of whatever operations you need to perform then you can figure the rest of that stuff out later. The creative urge doesn't last forever, which is why projects get abandoned, but with discipline you can keep bringing yourself back to fix all the / FIXME /'s and the compiler errors. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/708 ══════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────── @user-527 The wikipedia page for hormone replacement therapy was pretty comprehensive back when I needed it. general: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender_hormone_therapy feminizing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminizing_hormone_therapy masculinizing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masculinizing_hormone_therapy ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/709 ╔══════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ @user-530 │ ║ │ ║ I get it. │ ║ │ ║ Anyone with a disability or chronic condition gets it.
