thanks so much Gandalf it’s just lovely to transition straight into a grandmother what was i thinking wishing i had gotten to enjoy a normal life as a woman i’ll shush it and be content with my lot 👍🏻 not that i’m not grateful to finally have some peace mind you. but fuck this sentiment. I wish i had transitioned 20 years ago. I don’t care if i wasn’t ready i would have liked to figure it out then anyway.

Housewife here, many thousands of loads under my belt; with a modern electric washing machine and regular levels of dirt you don’t have to do anything except make sure the clothes aren’t bunched up. Like unroll socks if they are in a ball and unwad jeans so the legs aren’t half inside themselves.

Use less detergent than you think you need in general. If you have stuff that’s extra funky find the soak feature on your machine or just stop it after it’s filled with water and let them sit (with soap) for 30 minutes before running it.

The only time you need special treatment is with special garments or special stains in my experience.
