Going to depend how much stronger than the local winds are to a thunderstorm.

If I may make a suggestion - with a parachute.

With no parachute they just go down for a couple minutes. With a parachute they go up and down for hours, in the middle of a hurricane.

Most people I've seen using it as their personal pronoun would probably laugh if they were presented with an option for It with Cousin Itt representing it.

I would probably add an option for "thing" with a disembodied hand as well.

From my understanding how a body responds to HRT is basically down to luck. Changes can be large, small, fast and slow. The chances of seeing large changes might decrease over time but is probably never zero.

One thing to note is that we are often our worst critics. We see all the things that haven't changed or things changed so gradually that we never noticed. These changes can be obvious to those around us while we remain blind to them.

The question I would ask is do you want to continue taking HRT? Is it causing you an undue burden or harm? Will stopping make you feel better? Will stopping make you feel worse? These are probably things to discuss with a doctor to help you come to a decision.

I wouldn't go that far. You don't have to inject testosterone to be a REAL™ man. But it is probably safe to assume a subset of REAL™ men do.

I would be tempted to tell her my adverb is fabulously.

"I fabulously eat. I fabulously think. And I'm going to fabulously walk away from this conversation now."

It's very much not okay. In general, imposing labels on people is a bad thing. Doesn't matter how much better someone thinks they know, people get to explore their identities in their own way and at their own pace.

When I see someone imposing the egg or trans label I generally point them to the egg prime directive here.

When someone is just told they are trans, that opens ground for denial; it activates defense mechanisms built by internalized transphobia, and it has a high probability of pushing them further into the closet, if not making them outright transphobic. Even when it doesn’t, it leaves ground for their own subconscious to reject their dysphoria, claiming that they were just manipulated or deceived. The much more effective strategy is to talk about your own experiences with dysphoria so that they see the common grounds and come to their own conclusion about their gender. The code doesn’t forbid helping them to explore their gender; it forbids assigning a gender to them. Or, to put it more succinctly, you cannot be told what the Matrix is; you can only be shown.

As to why some people don't follow that. Either they don't know better, in which case educating them should fix it, or they are simply [epithet of your choice here]. Any community of sufficient size will have bad actors in it.

I have the urge to edit it to have a laser beam now.

It's an uncountable noun. You are asking a question roughly akin to "How many airs are there?" There's not an answer because it does not have the quality of countability.

I tracked the source image back to here. I'm guessing either she made some stickers for herself or someone else did a one off printing for themselves. I can't find them for sale anywhere.

Hopefully nothing.

Some tucking techniques use tape to keep things in place.
