Have you ever worn women's clothes outside that, or wanted to? How has it felt if you did?

What do you already have on hand? What tools and materials?
If you had a cinderblock, log, car-jack, or other heavy / sturdy item, you could use that to rest the sofa on temporarily while you work on it. Since it's a sofa, you could even just tip the sofa on one of its sides (if there is room). Even a stack of books could work, assuming nobody sits on the sofa or uses it (which is a good idea while it's being repaired). Either way, you probably don't need to buy something to rest the sofa on.
In terms of re-attaching the leg to the sofa, it depends on what you are working with, whether there is a way to screw something into the leg. Imagining a wooden leg, I could imagine drilling a hole into the leg and into the sofa, then driving a wooden dowel into the leg and putting wood glue into the hole and around the dowel and then softly tapping the leg into the hole you made into the sofa - the dowel going in the hole, I mean. Sometimes screws can be driven in at angles, or you can make or use brackets that screw into both.
it would help if you could clarify what you mean by wobbly or buzzy ... maybe some examples of songs or segments that have the sound you're describing?
is this song wobbly or buzzy?
that's high praise 😳‼️🙈
just wondering if you could expand on this for me a bit
not debunked, just made more complicated - the evidence still points to gender identity being biological, fixed (not subject to social or psychological influences), and the result of the early development of the brain, but ... it's not like we have some clear "gender essence" in the way that some people wrongly assume, that is there are no clear "female" and "male" brains, instead all people (cis and trans) seem to have complex sexually dimorphic brain structures that don't fit neatly into that kind of categorization.

The autopsy studies were done by Dick Swaab, and repeated, here's one of his articles from 2008 (I'm sure you can find the rest on your own):
for a video overview on the science I recommend this overview by Julia Serano: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZymYiwoRoC0
This video overview on the variability of sex is also highly recommended: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVQplt7Chos
there were some MRI studies by Joel et al. that disrupted the overly simple findings of the autopsy studies:
and for a more up to date article with a collab between Joel & Swaab, I would check-out:
