I'm not 100% sure what this question is asking. Are you asking about me? What my thoughts are about its availability? How people do it? Those are all really different things.
If you asked this: could you please re-ask, and be a little more specific, so I can give you a real answer?
B does roller Derby
So
Roller Derby. 😅
Honestly, not really anything else. I've never cared much for the various sportsballs. I enjoy some Olympic events, but just because I love celebrating what the human body can do. I don't care who wins.
I'd put my pizza or ceviche up against anyone's! I absolutely love both!

OK, back for a bit. That ran long!
Its hard to offer tips without knowing what a person wants out of transition, unfortunately. What was right for me might be wrong for you! I'm sorry!

I've gotta take a call, so there'll be a pause in replies for a bit. Feel free to keep sending questions, and I'll answer in a batch when I'm back!

Honestly, no. My whole universe has been working on this book, and that's been 100% of what I've been reading for for months. I'm hoping to get back to Perception Check, though.

As a lifelong people pleaser: that's tough. I still struggle with it.
But the most helpful thing I was ever told is that people pleasing is a form of emotional manipulation, because you're not giving others the ability to accept you as you are. That reframe helps me fight back.

I didn't. I did it in the blind hope of being a prof.
The advice I'd give anyone right now who's thinking about getting a PhD is to think carefully, especially if you want to land in academia. The job market is apocalyptic rn--I've heard of 2,000 applications for a single posting this year.

EXTREMELY yes. I absolutely love roller coasters, and have my whole life. I could go off on a whole tangent about my favorite types and favorite specific coasters, and what makes for a superb coaster of any given type.

I guess, in the end, the answer to both halves of the question is the same: try new things. I've tried to make a habit of saying yes to things, even if I'm not sure about them. Sure, sometimes it sucks, but that's how SGW and my book happened, as well as a lot of friends.

Estrogen definitely slows down your metabolism; I've gained weight too.
As for meeting queer friendships hard, because I don't know what trying looks like in your case, so I'll probably end up duplicating things that aren't working for you. The one key thing is you've gotta put yourself out there.
