Hiya! I'm CatboyBiologist.

The unfiltered, unhinged side of @hi-sierra. I'm doing a quick pinned post refresh.

I'm a transgender woman, outdoors enthusiast, and grad student in molecular bio living on the West coast of the US. I post a lot of vain selfies and thirst traps:

I'm known for tgirl tummy tuesdays, shower coffee, weirdass rambling shitposts, my tortoise, bisexual meltdowns, being an angry tranny, providing some biologists rambles about HRT and other things, making my ADHD everyone else's problem, and talking about hiking/backpacking more than I actually do it. This blog is my main one, and is an unfiltered stream of information.

If you want to DM me, tag me, drop an ask, for whatever reason, feel free to! This includes any and all tummyposting. Do be aware, however, that I try to keep this blog SFW, and will use my discretion on what to reblog or answer. On the flip side of that, however, I often get close to the limits of SFW here, so if you're uncomfortable with that or a minor, you have been warned.

Tortoise tax:

Misc links below, including my other profiles and posts I want to highlight.

Why and how should you store a little extra HRT? And also: what does death before detransition mean?

The cat ears stay on during the explanation of why their statistical modeling of high throughout data was flawed

Wearing a tail while she bitches about the multiple testing problem

Would be really funny to wear cat ears and a tail to the defense of your phd thesis

Probably not gonna make it that far but yes it would be funny

I'm having a lot of trouble getting a good size for a business casual women's button down or blouse and idk what I'm doing wrong. Every other piece of clothes I've found what sizes are good, including weirder sizes like dresses and bras. I normally fit well within what a cis woman (tall cis woman but still) would wear, but for some reason it just isn't working here. Idk what I'm doing wrong, it's been true across multiple brands and multiple things I've thrifted

Basically every button down or blouse I've worn feels like its:

-too tight on the bust

-too short on the sleeves, potentially a little tight on the shoulders contributing to that

-way too loose on the waist

Increasing the size typically increases the waist only. In the end they just fit me like men's clothes do- like weird, drapey flags over me. If I tuck them in they get way too much of that poorly cut junk at the side.

Might take a few pics but I'm mostly just venting to try and figure things out

I'm trying to think about hitting the job market sometime this year so that's why I'm thinking about this now. Also still WFH today bc covid so I'm just digging through a couple of the misplaces purchases I made over the holidays

My best suggestion is to learn how to tailor your clothes. You can bring a shirt in that's loose and it'll fit nicely.

That's honestly what I've been trending towards for a while, but I've been lazy as fuck and need to get off my ass and actually do it.

Idk, I think I've asked before, but any good starter resources? I literally think I have something bookmarked from the last time I asked lol

Full disclosure, I have no fucking clue how to tailor clothes. But this guide I found on reddit seems fairly comprehensive! You can also get clothes tailored for not too much money at mom-and-pop type shops.

welp, I probably don't have space in my apartment for a sewing machine rn, so I'll try to stick to hand sewing. But thanks, this is super helpful!!

You can get some pretty compact sewing machines! Especially if you're only using for tailoring and mending, it won't take up THAT much room.

🤔

I know you said you know nothing about sewing, but anyone got any recommendations?

plunging into the world of sewing tutorials and am immediately overwhelmed lmao

part of me wants to dive right in, part of me knows I'm still a grad student with limited time and money and also adhd that might just abandon projects
