Cover Page. A hand holding a paper bag with a prescription stapled to it. The prescription reads: Prescription Info: Testosterone Tuesday, by House of Lief. Amount Due: $5.

Caption: September, 2023, 6AM. Pre-transition Lief waits at a bus stop. Lief boards the bus thinking 'I should quit this job'. As the bus drives away, he thinks 'and start testosterone'.

Close up of lief typing on a keyboard. Caption reads:'This is a ridiculous idea. I get paid well, 50k a year, and the hours are better. I got promoted two months ago! As for testosterone, my dysphoria isn't bad enough to justify that. It's an unnecessary expense and it would probably just make my life harder'.

Lief, sitting on a couch in his therapists office says, 'I'm thinking about going on testosterone. And quitting my job.' His therapist says, 'Well, what's stopping you?' Lief is left speechless.
