IN WHICH 9TAILEDVIXEN RECOUNTS HER SECOND WEEK OF (SUPPOSED) SPOON RECOVERY ON A FRIDAY:
1. I bought myself a trial package of passes for Aerial Yoga/Aerial Pilates/Aerial Hoop classes at the Aerial studio in the next neighbourhood over.
My first class is tomorrow morning bright and early. I have my Yoga pants and my Yoga mat ready…

From the article:
The proposal stipulates that Korean transgender women who have not undergone more than six months of hormone therapy will be required to enlist for mandatory military service. On January 19, KST, the Defense Ministry stated that it was working to bring a revised enforcement rule regarding the conscription examination, which mandates men’s eligibility for military service. The revision is currently in the pre-announcement stage, during which the legislative can collect public opinions regarding the bill before the National Assembly launches a review to vote.
A new rule under this draft revision states that transgender women who have not been regularly taking hormone therapy for at least six months would be classified as grade 4, forcing them to join military service as social service personnel under alternative service instead of active-duty soldiers.
