3 years ago today I started my medical transition with hormone replacement therapy. I had no idea where it would take me. I just knew I couldn’t keep living the way I had been. Three years later, almost every part of my life looks different. My body, my career, my relationships, my faith, where I live, and what I thought my future would look like. Transition didn’t magically make life easier. In a lot of ways, it made life much more difficult. But it gave me the chance to build a life that feels like mine. Three years down. Still becoming. It’s a wild ride. #trans #transwoman

We should normalize loving on people before their suicide attempt too

Wow
Speaker Mike Johnson and House Republicans just cancelled the last day of scheduled votes before the midterms to avoid voting on impeaching Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Let’s vote these cowards out in November. Democrats are ready to work.

I’m a trans woman, former Army pilot, and very pro-Second Amendment. Maybe a little too pro-Second Amendment. Turns out being trans creates some unique challenges when it comes to concealed carry—and I may have finally figured out why I needed all that extra closet space. From my set at Comedy Works in Denver.

I know it’s been a while. Things have been nonstop wild in my life but I wanted to share something with you. As some of you know I’ve been converting to Judaism since 2024 and during that time my life changed a few times. I’ve settled a little in Austin TX and found a loving Jewish community and will be continuing my Jewish conversion. My new Rabbi asked for a Spiritual Autobiography to sort of kick things off with him and I thought I should share with you too. My Spiritual Autobiography - click to read and consider subscribing to my free newsletter - Occasional letters on decision-making, identity, and remaining grounded during periods of change lettersfromjo.joellisreally.…

I think the AI bubble is about to burst. AI companies keep warning us that superintelligence is right around the corner and now they’re telling us we need to slow down and regulate it? What do you think: warning or convenient excuse? #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #AIBubble #Tech #FirstCupOfJo

Where does a 36-year-old trans woman go to get her ears pierced? Apparently not Claire’s. My girlfriend suggested a tattoo shop, but tattoos are a big commitment. You have to live with that decision for the rest of your life. Maybe I should wait and see if I grow out of it? Stand-up at Comedy Works in Denver.

I used to be really overweight as a teenager. Turns out, not much has changed. I love me some Dominos! And as for getting rid of man boobs… I eventually found another solution. First time featuring at Denver Comedy Works and absolutely loved it!

I bought half a dozen donuts. I ate 1.5 and then threw the rest in the trash. And then I took the bag of trash to the dumpster at my old apartment complex a few miles away… because I know my flaws. Anyway, memoir is coming along. I think I’ll leave this part out
