My sibling is transitioning mtf and just started hormone therapy. She has also always been a huge fan of IPAs and has been super into sharing her love of them with us (to little success). So anyways, our discord movie night comes up and she says she has some bad news. Apparently the hormones have made things taste different, and now she hates how they taste, which is a really big loss for her.

My brother asks if he can tell a bad joke, and she says yes. So my brother says that “when you stop lying to yourself about one thing you start to notice other lies you’ve been telling yourself, like ‘IPAs are good’, for example.” Anyways, it had all of us laughing together, which I figured I’d share with y’all.
