Literally just this song

Reverse engineer social engineering

I think that'd be funny I think

[unborn atlas]

"funny"

[flint spade]

Nothing's funny anymore so everything is

[unborn atlas]

your absolutism is vapid

[flint spade]

You'd think that

[unborn atlas]

sorry a sixteen year old was just stabbed to death for being trans, can you at least empathize with why I might be a little bit on edge? or

what

[misty harness]

I'm with zenoby here, this isn't something to make light of in any way

Please stay on topic in these threads as well, they're meant to provide a more serious, focused discussion for people without worrying about non sequiturs like in general

Applies to the theology thread and any others that people want to have more serious discussions in

[unborn atlas]

this thread is usually lighthearted but I don't think it's a good time for it at the moment

[vapid dune]

I really appreciate how active you’ve been cain but like. You tend to derail serious topics that REALLY need their moment of treating with their due respect and go off on tangents. Please be respectful. Thanks.

[civic ibex]

Let’s try to take in the thoughts and feelings of others especially with topics that can be sensitive and serious. Empathy and caring is especially needed between us trans people. If anyone needs to talk please DM me💖

[misty harness]

yeah it's usually lighthearted but it's also def the place to bring up more serious topics too

[vapid dune]

Kinda like when I brought up the Oklahoma legislature. This should serve both serious and light hearted trans discussion in general. Specially since I feel there’s not enough eyes on the situation in Oklahoma

[sturdy trail]

it’s so bleak how almost none of the news articles about it mention her transness and the like read more section is like “evil trans criminal faking transness” or some bullshit

the british press has blood on their hands

[vapid dune]

I remember reading something recently like. How Scotland has made legal gender changes way easier for trans people? And have a better system for it. And how Britain has made it perfectly clear they will not validate the legal gender change of a Scottish resident

Like. Fucks sake is going on in that island

[jolly mirage]

its so fucked here

[austere jay]

anyone else got fucked up pharmacies

like i’m telling you my dose is .3 and i inject every monday but i’m not allowed to refill till thursday??? 3 days after inject day? brother.

[zinc oriole]

Pharmacies literally don't know what they're talking about

They had to ask ME which needles are for injecting and which ones were for drawing up the T

[bronze ocean]

i swear to god they just do this shit because theyre transphobic like

its some of the most simple shit any pharmacist should know which gauges are used for that

[zinc oriole]

exactly. It was back when I wasnt really passing too

im very glad i use folx for my T now i hate dealing w transphobes

[vapid dune]

I’ve been off progesterone for over a week cus my delivery service canceled my progesterone order in favor of giving me a double supply of spiro :3

Fucking hate pharmacies

And I’ll be off progesterone for one more week cus of that! Cus rather than rushing my supply to me cus of their fuckup, they put me on the waiting list to have my prog shipped next week

Then when I called them about this, despite seeing the fact that I use feminizing HRT and have the name in my system as Agatha, proceeded to call me sir

[chrome snow]

How are they going to work for a company that provides trans people HRT and have the nerves to literally misgender people?

[vapid dune]

I have my HRT delivered home by goodrx’s home delivery service truepill. They’re not HRT providers, they just deliver prescriptions in general so they don’t feel a need to care about trans people in particular

[chrome snow]

It really sucks.

[vapid dune]

Lmao I just left the bank and I was gonna cross the street and this giant pickup truck was letting me cross. And I look at the driver and it’s this old cunt looking at me with the most judgmental stare ever clearly inspecting me. And I suppose he realized I’m trans and flipped me off

My man does not know a single detail about me beyond that but that’s all he needs to show that hatred towards me, this world is bleak truly

[chrome snow]

I don't understand why people would go out of the way just to hurt innocent people for no reason at all.

Minds clouded with bigotry and hatred.

[cold whale]

just got out of surgery

hi everyone

[chrome snow]

[unborn atlas]

[zinc oriole]

CONGRATS !!!! I hope you have a smooth recovery

[chrome snow]

^^^^^^

[cold whale]

[vapid dune]

why cant life be that convenient

[austere jay]

pharm update my doctor called me back about updating my prescription FINALLY

[chrome snow]

FUCK YEEEE

[bronze ocean]

[final heart]

distributing mine to several transfems !! plenty to go around

[bronze ocean]

give me tits so i can get top surgery

[stable cradle]

my appt to get a consultation for t is less than 2 weeks away!!! it got rescheduled like a few days before it was originally gonna happen back in january but!!!! it’s close now: D

[balmy pond]

LETS GET THIS MONEY SON AHHHHHHHHH

[vapid dune]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HRT IS FUCKING RAD WELCOME TO THE GANG BABY ITS ALMOST TIME FOR U TO PUMP UR BODY FULL OF THAT BOMB ASS TESTOSTERONE

[stable cradle]

[misty harness]

everywhere I've been in Seattle so far has had gender neutral bathrooms

I get so fucking much anxiety from going to the restroom in public back home, especially depending on where I am and how I'm dressed cuz I don't pass

[vapid dune]

God I wish Alabama was able to unlock this feature. Why must this place be impossible to piss in 😔

Even at work. When it’s like “drunk guy hours” I know it’s my time to hold my bladder until I’m home cus guys at the guys bathroom give me such weird lustful stares

Literally only places to have gender neutral bathrooms is the mall and LGBTQ+ friendly bars

[misty harness]

it's the same here but I've never seen gender neutral bathrooms at any mall or other corporate place in texas

Only at places that have pride flags hanging lol

Which I've seen SO MANY pride flags everywhere here, even outside of the gayborhood

Even found a studio for a trans vocal training center here

fuck I need to get out of Texas so bad

[stable cradle]

that’s cool asf, i live in california but I don’t even see that : 0

[vapid dune]

Me but with Alabama

I need to get the fuck out of here but I need a roommate

[misty harness]

yeaaa

I might make questionable decisions and move into a studio that's right at the edge of my budget but in a cool neighborhood here lol

if I can't save any money here I'll move somewhere else after a year, but fuck I want to be here permanently

[zinc oriole]

Pls let us know how it goes! I was thinking of moving to Seattle myself tbh

[misty harness]

I will definitely talk about it here haha. I have til September to make decisions about things so it won't be right away

and I'm in a lucky position where I make near six figures working a job that I can do remotely from anywhere in the country so... I know my situation may not match a lot of people here

[zinc oriole]

OMG THATS AWESOME

I definitely think you'll be able to do it if you want to!

[vapid dune]

I mean I could make 70k or so roughly with my bartending experience so I’m happy about that but I’d still appreciate a roommate anywhere I go in the country cus of like idk starting anew anywhere else would be difficult

That’s still a work in progress cus Alabama just sucks ass and I get weird stares pretty much everywhere I go

[zinc oriole]

Ik from experience moving to a new state all alone is. Very hard

Its better to have people you know there or people go with you

I knew some people online exclusively here so I thought it'd be a good idea but. It wasn't lol I was not prepared at all

[vapid dune]

Yea hence why I’d rather move in with someone

Alabama isn’t very hospitable to trans people

[zinc oriole]

My state is very.

Eh

Legislation wise we won everything as of NOW but the governor is fighting for his life against us always

I wanna leave later this year

[vapid dune]

I’ll renew my contract with my landlord for another year

But in 2024 I definitely want to get the fuck out

[cold whale]

yeah cause we’re awesome here

[cold whale]

YOU TOTALLY SHOULD it’s great here such a nice city

[vapid dune]

I am thinking of Chicago that’s what I’ve had in mind for the past year is it trans friendly? :3

[zinc oriole]

😭 I've heard washington in general is great... one of my best friends lives there
It'll be very hard bc I don't drive and live on the east coast but

It isn't impossible

Chicago can be hit or miss I've heard

[cold whale]

i will always advocate for seattle the amount of accessible trans healthcare here is fucking amazing

would have never been able to get top surgery if i lived somewhere else

[vapid dune]

The only time I’ve felt in the right place here in Birmingham is in Avondale here in Alabama. There’s so many businesses there with trans and gay flags it’s such a lovely area of the city

Other than that. This state feels like I’m about to be murdered as part of a hate crime

[zinc oriole]

There's not many stable resources in my state :( moving would help

I do folx for testosterone bc of how hard it was for me to do it any other way

[misty harness]

yeah it was near impossible getting a local private clinic in Dallas for hrt and I felt bad taking a slot at planned Parenthood since I could afford plume so I went that route

BUT my gp's office's endocrinologists now do hrt so I might switch

[vapid dune]

Plume gang what up

[unborn atlas]

what's that?

[vapid dune]

Id completely vouch for them if I wouldn’t be 2 weeks off progesterone cus of them

[misty harness]

online service that does transgender healthcare

[unborn atlas]

what's plume I mean

[misty harness]

all the Drs are trans themselves

[vapid dune]

And they have exclusively trans doctors :3

[misty harness]

mhmmm. it's like $100 a month and includes any appointments you need and they pay for all the bloodwork

they recently started accepting my insurance too so I'm hoping it goes through, then it'll be just $40 a month

[vapid dune]

A trans HRT service that hires exclusively trans people to provide HRT for trans people like us. It costs a premium but it’s definitely worth it for Americans cus it provides HRT quicker with informed consent and it’s just like usually perfectly on time in delivering your HRT

[zinc oriole]

^

Folx is pretty good abt it too

It's costly but worth

[unborn atlas]

oo

[zinc oriole]

Only costly for me bc I do gel. Injections are less of a fee a month

[vapid dune]

Yea I pay 55 for a 3 month vial of valerate which I think is less than I’d pay for gel???

[zinc oriole]

I pay about 150 :[

[vapid dune]

Damn

[zinc oriole]

It's a bit much lol but if plume is cheaper I may switch

Idk if it is though

[vapid dune]

95 a month and using TruePill for HRT delivery it becomes rather cheap compared to standard HRT providers

[unborn atlas]

truepill

as opposed to

a placebo

[misty harness]

$10 a month for estrogen tablets for me w insurance, shout-out corporate healthcare I guess

[chrome snow]

From what I read, it's a rather large and accepting place.
Places like Boystown, Wrigleyville and Lakeview are highly trans friendly neighborhoods in the Chicagoland area.

[cold whale]

yeah i just switched from injections to gel 😭

[chrome snow]

Also, they have a really amazing LGBTQ-friendly clinic that goes by the name of Howard Brown.

[vapid dune]

I think this is exactly what I paid for sublingual estrogen when I started with plume so it makes sense

TruePill doesn’t offer a discount on valerate though so I had to settle for the current price I pay for

[austere jay]

fucking awesome moment partner came out to me with a new name

[zinc oriole]

Idm paying more bc apparently injections were worse for one of my mental illnesses??? It was deep in the side effects page but for certain disorders doing injections is bad? I definitely have noticed it's a bit better w gel now

[austere jay]

very very sweet watching them transition in real time

[zinc oriole]

OMG

[austere jay]

may become my girlfriend in the next few months i have a sneaking suspicion

[spice sphinx]

So sick

[austere jay]

trans rights baby

[zinc oriole]

I wish them the best w thier journey :]

[cold whale]

oh wow i had no idea it could do that

[chrome snow]

Hell yeah!

[zinc oriole]

It's so weird I didn't know until I saw smth on the page that stuck out to me

[misty harness]

ya you put more in your bloodstream at once so it'll last a week unlike stuff you do daily

[zinc oriole]

That's a good point

It was probably a lot at once for me

[inland schooner]

HOLY SHIT I GOT PSYCHIATRIST APPOINTMENT FOR TOP SURGERY IN MAY LETS FUCKING GOOOO

[unborn atlas]

hell yeah dude

[stable cradle]

YEAHHHHH

[chrome snow]

That's based as fuck bro!

[cold whale]

[zinc oriole]

[final heart]

Idk I just found this shit uhm

Going on transition but I don't have planned hormones

Just the top surgery

[balmy pond]

FUCK YEAH GET THIS MONEY

[zinc oriole]

HOW ARE U ALL GETTING TOP SURGGEG!!!!

Tjis is awesome

[vapid dune]

Y’all wanna know what’s a bit of a contradiction I’ve found with myself in terms of “passing” to cis strangers? It seems the more boyish I present myself. The more I get treated fem? Like the past several months I have really been reconsidering my gender identity and feeling myself fitting more into truly being agender with how much I reject the masculinity I came from and now reject the femininity I head towards, and like. Somehow presenting with andro boy-leaning clothes and styling my hair in less feminine ways, and not wearing makeup or just eyeliner. People seem to treat me like a girl more than ever?

Feels good to finally be understanding what suits me best and playing to my strengths and weaknesses and having it pay off. Of course cis people validation is not what I’m going for but it always feels good to be recognized with my efforts

[zinc oriole]

TBH IVE NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES TOO

[bronze ocean]

its honestly real

[zinc oriole]

Like I'll wear makeup and shit sometimes or fem clothes. And I've been not binding before in a womens tank top under a kind of masc I guess shirt and been called brother lol

When I wear more masc shit people are unsure abt my gender for some reason. Or are surprised when I say I use he/him

I'm glad you are finally doing what's more comfortable for you in terms of presentation :]

[vapid dune]

Oh I mean I always technically “boymoded” since I felt it suits me best anyways. Just now I’m being more outwardly comfortable with my presentation and it’s paid off somehow

At my previous job I would get called sir every couple tables. Here? In the month I’ve been here I’ve been called sir only ONCE

Everyone else has treated me fem despite me presenting less fem than at my previous job

After my last round of laser I began feeling comfortable not using concealer and I go lighter on the eyeliner. And now I do my hair in a more tomboy manner. Somehow it has completely turned my image around?

[stable cradle]

I get this!!! when ppl just saw me as a ‘tomboy’ I got treated like a guy more than I do now with being more masc

[vapid dune]

Yea I’m honestly feeling the most comfortable I ever have. I realized that I don’t have to meet a certain quota of femininity that society may expect of me and have played up my own traits instead cus. Of course transitioning was always my goal. But presenting feminine wasn’t. I like my androgyny now

[stable cradle]

i get that too, like gettign she/hered still sucks balls but I can finally look at myself and feel confident since ive started dressing the way I want

[vapid dune]

Very happy to hear my frend!!! Finding the right balance feels nice

[cold whale]

oouggh top surgery recovery is tough

i’m healing faster than i expected and i’m gonna b able to get my drains out very soon but it’s still a pain in the ass

[zinc oriole]

one of my friends couldnt really lift his arms above a certain point for over a week

[cold whale]

YEAH i’m definitely feeling that

t rex arm stage

getting better though

[zinc oriole]

i am glad :D

[inland schooner]

My surgeon recommended keeping trex arms until like a month

[cold whale]

mine said just a week, stretching is important n all that

[vapid dune]

Are you like. Able to work? Or do you have to be resting at home that whole time

[inland schooner]

Resting st home

No work for 2 months

[cold whale]

damn your surgeon is strict

ive just gotta take it easy for a few weeks

[inland schooner]

For best possible healing ig. U can't hold anything more than 3 kgs (5 pounds I think)

My surgeon said the most you can do is walking

[zinc oriole]

They gave the same rules to my friend

[austere jay]

finally got my testosterone

t shot monday is back on everyone

[unborn atlas]

T's back on the menu boys 😎

[bronze ocean]

happy t shot monday (tomorrow)

[zinc oriole]

WAHOO

[stable cradle]

WOOOOOOO

[cold whale]

WAHOOOOOO

when i did shots my shot day was monday too

[vapid dune]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I rember now that me and Vinny shoot up hormones on the same day

[cold whale]

monday shot day supremacy

[vapid dune]

I started injecting my E on Monday nights cus of my job at the time I was off every tuesday and I feel it makes me a bit weaker for that following day

[bronze ocean]

tomorrow is estrogen monday for me too 💪

cause i take it every day

[vapid dune]

I’m finally back on prog as of last night :3 not gonna let my provider fuck up my delivery again

Not to mention my pharmacy refuses to refill my needles, syringes and vials themselves so I have to be on their ass about any refills I need on those wooooo

[bronze ocean]

so cfucking cringe that pharmacies dont do that

[zenith turtle]

I’m also trying get on prog

[zinc oriole]

You can buy needles and syringes online I'm p sure

Unless it's against the law in your state

But it's WAY cheaper and you can in bulk

It's what I did on T

Like injections T I mean

[zinc oriole]

SO TRUEFHBF

[bronze ocean]

i love being a boy who takes estrogen

[vapid dune]

Love being a creature on estrogen

Sending love to all my homies on testosterone ur all pretty badass

[stable cradle]

sending love to all my homies on estrogen u fucking rock

[balmy pond]

Came out to my friend at work today!

He came up to me while we were taking the trash out and said, "Claire, you're trans. That means you can double jump"

I need to hit the gym again, cant let the man down :p

[vapid dune]

Woah Claire congrats!!!!

I’m thinking of socially transitioning at my job pretty soon (even if my manager would be an asshole about it), so I’m either doing that real soon or quitting real soon or both lmao

Cus I’m at the point where I don’t want to be deadnamed anymore in front of customers who almost exclusively perceive me as female

[balmy pond]

Ty!!^_^

Yeah theres no way I'm coming out to the guys anytime soon, but it's nice to have one person I dont need to hide around

[zinc oriole]

THIS IS SUCH GOOD ALLY BEHAVIOR LOL

Unless if he's also trans

CONGRATS ALSO!!

[balmy pond]

No hes an ally, his best friend is trans tho so he knows his shit

[zinc oriole]

I LOVE THIS FOR HIMM

[chrome snow]

Ur friend is based as fuck

[unborn atlas]

hey real quick what's the spear counterpart to Sapphic?

[spice sphinx]

There are a couple terms for it

Because most mlm forms of sapphic are derived from sapphic and did not arise on their own

So you get things like "achillean"

I think the term uranian is the closest you get maybe

But that also has ties to uhhh

homosexual pedophile movement of poets?

What?

[unborn atlas]

Achillean is mid tbh

[final heart]

achillean is shit ngl

i just say queer

[unborn atlas]

queer works for me but it's not very specific

[zinc oriole]

I just say I have a pref for guys

Tbh

That's bc im not very into labeling myself beyond calling myself transmasc though

Or the gay umbrella works too, since even bisexual people call themselves gay as a broad term

[unborn atlas]

gay has become a bit of an umbrella term, I think

[austere jay]

i don’t have a sexuality anymore whenever someone asks me i just shrug

[cold whale]

one week post op :) spoiler cause it’s still a little gnarly

[stable cradle]

YEAHHHHH

[sturdy trail]

impeccable

[bronze ocean]

THANK YALL

[stable cradle]

MY APPOINTMENT TO GET CHECKED TO START T IS TOMORROW

[vapid dune]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOO ANOTHER T HOMIE IS GETTING THEIR MUCH NEEDED HRT ❤️❤️❤️❤️ so many based kings in here getting T lately I swear

[unborn atlas]

👑

[chrome snow]

U A REAL 1 BRO!

[bronze ocean]

HELL FUCKING YEAH!!!

[cold whale]

I JUST NEARLY SHOT T GEL ACROSS THE ROOM

i should not be allowed to have this

[spice sphinx]

Projectile slime

[bronze ocean]

the slime is escaping

shoots up like The Thing (from The Thing)

[valid cloud]

i almosr shot mine everywhere on friday when i did my first shot lol. My friends dad had 2 help cus he's also on t (he's not trans just old💀)

[cold whale]

why is it so fast 😭

[zinc oriole]

One time that happened to me too. It shot onto the sink and I had to scoop it up 😭

Thankfully it didn't happen with injections

[cold whale]

glad im not the only one!! damn!!

[bronze ocean]

how thin is t gel that it just splurts off like that

[unborn atlas]

I was offered to take E as gel

but

I'm worried to get it on my clothes

or other people

what happens if you eat it.............

[zinc oriole]

ive licked my gel by mistake

worst that happened is i went blegh

also it dries like hand sanitizer!

you just have to rub it in for awhile

[cold whale]

yeah its alcohol based

not good

[bronze ocean]

ye it tastes groce but it dissipates relatively quickly

[stable cradle]

for ppl here who’ve started hrt is it a pretty difficult process?? like ik for top surgery u need to do like psyche stuff but idk if it’s the same just for hrt

[unborn atlas]

I did psych stuff for about a year before I got on HRT, I think

but that's in australia

[stable cradle]

ooh ok, im in california so laws might b different

[zinc oriole]

If it's an informed consent clinic you don't need psyche stuff

I was able to start without it

It was very easy for me but I may have just gotten lucky

[stable cradle]

oh i’m not sure if it is

also being a minor doesn’t help

[zinc oriole]

Ohhhh :( yes it's harder to as one I did it shortly after I turned 18

[spice sphinx]

You get superpowers

That’s how you unlock the double jump

[timid grail]

yeah if youre a minor you do need to see a psych or therapist which sucks

i did see one for a time when i was 16 but i didnt even end up going on hrt until i was 21 lol

also yeah t gel is alcohol based but it depends on the brand what the consistency is, the first brand my pharmacy was giving me was super liquidy and alcohol based and took longer to dry and rub in but didnt leave any residue, but it switched to a different brand and the one im using rn is way more like an actual gel and is thicker and dries faster but its really sticky and … reactivates in water 😭 it freaked me out at first but it does absorb, but the first time i had taken a shower after putting the new brand on the night before my arms were slimy

the alcohol does dry your skin out so i definitely suggest using a gentle body wash that moisturizes and making sure to moisturize your body with a thicker lotion or body butter after showering especially where you apply your t gel

[cold whale]

REACTIVATES IN WATER ???!? HELL NAHH

[timid grail]

YEAH I MISS THE FIRST BRAND I HAD BUT.. whatever my insurance gives me i guess 😭😭😭😭

my bf and i were showering and he touched my arm and he was like why is it slimy

[cold whale]

youre just an amphibian now ig

[unborn atlas]

slime time

[timid grail]

luckily it does absorb the t so its just the gel residue but its annoying. i usually just wear sleeves that cover my upper arms after it dries so it doesnt get on anything

slime man (real)

[bronze ocean]

slime! slime! slime!

[unborn atlas]

slime man................................................................

[bronze ocean]

slime hormone

slimeterone

[timid grail]

real and true

[unborn atlas]

my hormone is the most cyberpunk one

it's an implant

[bronze ocean]

ohh

thats cool

mine i spray on

very similar to gel

but its got its own silly little applicator

[unborn atlas]

aerosol hormone

[timid grail]

tbh im surprised that t has actually helped my skin a lot, i was worried that it would make my acne issues worse but i think its helped me take better care of my skin and i think i had high testosterone anyways beforehand so i feel more balanced

woah…. what if you took it like the warheads spray

[bronze ocean]

ur getting that thing where guys just magically have super nice skin

[unborn atlas]

E's like that

I'm.......soft

my skin's incredibly smooth now

[bronze ocean]

same actually

[stable cradle]

I have been seeing a therapist for a few months and she knows about it so hopefully that helps a lil

[spice sphinx]

hair soft, skin soft

brain soft

I just got my blood drawn for lab work

They keep taking my tgirl blood every 3 months what are they harvesting me for

[stable cradle]

they r collecting tgirl blood to make synthetic tgirls……

[unborn atlas]

estrogen also makes me

so sleepy

[spice sphinx]

It's the prog in my case

Which is why I take prog before bed instead of in the morning

[stable cradle]

sleepy girl juice

[balmy pond]

Omfg yeah cant stand the constantly sleepy

[balmy pond]

How come?

[unborn atlas]

he's a bit of a square

[balmy pond]

Everytime I talk to my gp she asks if I want to switch to prog lol

[spice sphinx]

Hit him with hammers

[unborn atlas]

hey he gets me the bestrogen

[balmy pond]

Round out his vertices

[unborn atlas]

but I wanna get fukken experimental with it

[balmy pond]

Ah understandable

[unborn atlas]

I wanna go full trans nightmare biohacker on my ass

[balmy pond]

[spice sphinx]

Get your prog filtered into your body through big tubes in your neck or something

I think we talked about this in here once

[unborn atlas]

||tho I havent beaten ff7 yet so it's probably closer to animacore for me||

[spice sphinx]

Also very real and valid

[balmy pond]

ff in general is massive gender tbh

back from my appt, I got referred to a gender clinic thing and I now know a lot more abt the process : D

[balmy pond]

Hell yea let's get it 🔥

[vapid dune]

Holy shit I’m almost at 10 months am I really gonna be this based in 2 months?…

[spice sphinx]

Yep

Get ready

[balmy pond]

:O

[tardy creek]

@balmy pond has leveled up! (11 ➜ 12)

[vapid dune]

Hell yea Claire we’re almost there

[balmy pond]

Transition timeline from fedex employee to aeon

[vapid dune]

Also I don’t know if we’ve mentioned it here but it turns out without knowing each other prior to a few months ago, me and Claire started HRT on the same exact day last year in May :3

[balmy pond]

THE EXACT SAME FUCKING DAY

💪

Fuck we're gonna have to tear it up

[balmy pond]

DJ set for our transiversary rave!!?
https://youtu.be/sOzM4ClFG1o

[spice sphinx]

Omg this actually reminded me that my transiversary is in march

I'll be 1 whole year on E

Insane

[balmy pond]

Slay queen let's fucking gooooooooo!!!

[vapid dune]

Damn nice!!!!

[austere jay]

planned parenthood is great i went in, told them i was a trans man and wanted to start t, and they basically just said alright awesome let’s see how soon we can get you on t

i am also a legal adult tho

[stable cradle]

oh damn that’s good 2 know!!

[misty harness]

depends, if you find a clinic that does informed consent then it's pretty simple!

[spice sphinx]

Sad that shit like this even needs to be considered

But if more states do this then maybe we’ll actually have some bastions

[vapid dune]

Bless Minnesota 🙏

It’s good to keep stuff like that in mind anyways cus some of us are in states which are rapidly encroaching on our rights, thx for sharing

Imagine enough trans people moved there to one day have a trans town in Minnesota lmao

[unborn atlas]

trans FORTRESS

[cold whale]

THE TRANS INSIDE THE FORTRESS

[unborn atlas]

THE TRANS INSIDE THE FORTRESS

[valid cloud]

i hope a state near me does this, because i might actually need it 😬

[vapid dune]

Just missing the much awaited sequel: its

[inland schooner]

GUYS I FINALLY GOT A DATE FOR WHEN IM GETTING TOP SURGERY LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[unborn atlas]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[stable cradle]

YWAHHHHHHH

[vapid dune]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCK YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chrome snow]

BASED!

[inland schooner]

IM SO SIKED!!! ITS GONNA BE FUCKING AWESOME

[vapid dune]

must be a very liberating feeling for transmascs for sure

im sure it really takes... that weight off their chest

i'll see myself out I know im fucking hilarious. or not ur welcome to boo me out

[blazing abyss]

thats awesome im happy for you!!!

lol aggy nice

[unborn atlas]

what does

nonbinary transition look like?

[cold whale]

whatever they want it to look like

[stable cradle]

no it was good

[final heart]

typically it's whatever hormone the person doesn't naturally produce as much, some have a higher prescription than others. every nonbinary transition is different. others don't medically transition

all transitions are different

not every nonbinary person's goal is androgyny

[vapid dune]

every nonbinary person has their own goals and they are all perfectly valid, it is a broad spectrum of possibilities. for me, I started with the idea of correcting my dysphoria and presenting more feminine, but I never really like... had becoming a girl in mind per se? so I realized being nonbinary suits me best, and I will continue my transition to its fullest extent and accept the level of femininity it leads me to but still consider myself nonbinary because I never wanted to be a girl, just be transfeminine/andro rather than my pre-transition masc appearance. so that's MY interpretation from MY experience but everyone takes their own route when it goes to nb transition

[misty harness]

I forgot to use the numbing burn cream before laser this morning and got dam that was not a fun session

[vapid dune]

Oh no… are you gonna be okay? Without it it can lead to like. Dark spots right? From the laser

[misty harness]

Oh no it was just more painful than usual

The thing I have is just meant to numb the skin slightly, I just have to use moisturizer a couple extra times over the few days after a session to prevent those spots

[vapid dune]

Me at a job interview lmao this is fucking wild

TL;DR applying at a place to be bartender. Make it clear I’m trans. Owner tells me to expect transphobia and to just deal with it

It is not MY responsibility to curb your workplace’s transphobia, it’s YOURS to create an environment where it’s respected and not mocked. Alabama sure is something

[unborn atlas]

ah I see

murder time

[vapid dune]

Fucking wild that he said to his wife that I’m a transvestite. Like I am not a fucking crossdresser you sack of shit

[unborn atlas]

bigots don't know what they fuck they're talking about

they're very passionate about something they refuse to learn about

[chrome snow]

That type of shit boils my blood so fucking much.

TRANSVESTITES AND TRANS PEOPLE ARE NOT THE SAME FUCKING THING

[vapid dune]

Not to mention the term transvestite is a shitty outdated term that still assigns genders to fucking pieces of clothing rather than letting people express themselves without caring about what gender their clothes are expected to be worn on

The fuck is let’s say a skirt but a collection of fabric in a circle formation? If a cis male wanted to wear one who gives a shit? If a cis female wanted to wear boxer briefs or some shit who gives a shit? It’s a term that alienates those daring to not care about those problematic boundaries that society from the past set in place

[chrome snow]

For the longest of times, I thought that the word was a slur due to how outdated it was.

[stable cradle]

wait transvestite isn’t a slur….

never knew much abt the term but always thought it was a slur

[vapid dune]

It was a term invented by Magnus Hirschfield, a man some of you may recognize as a pioneer in transgender studies, creating one of the first sex reassignment clinics back in the 1920s in the Weimar Republic. So this is a term used by a man who has done immense work for the advancement of trans procedures but also promoting the idea of trans people being valid, and first proponent of the validity of non-binary folk. So I think by origin it is not a slur, just a very outdated term of a bygone era when gender roles were more concrete

[stable cradle]

interesting!!!

[sturdy trail]

transvestite just makes me think of silence of the lambs

it’s what white grandmas call trans people

[vapid dune]

If you find it interesting I would REALLY recommend reading into the life of one of his patients, Gerd Katter. Katter was a transmasc who had one of the first double mastectomies performed on him ||after he tried to remove his own breasts with a razorblade out of dysphoria, was bleeding out|| so he was then taken to Hirschfield to have him perform the mastectomy. My man was metal as fuck

[stable cradle]

that’s sick as hell

not the ||cutting breasts off w a razor blade || part but how he was one of the first double mastectomies

[vapid dune]

Yea that place performed not only that but also some of the first instances of vaginoplasty. Phalloplasty would still not be performed for a few decades more unfortunately

But it’s seriously such a wonderful topic to read into in terms of trans history

[timid grail]

wow this is a lot of stuff i didnt know, thank you so much for educating!!

also im really fucking sorry that happened i hope that dude rots in hell

at least you didnt have to find out after getting the position that hes a terrible person and its a hostile environment, but damn thats awful

[vapid dune]

Np!!! :3 nice SMT5 banner, lovely game

And it’s ok I got another interview tomorrow

Hopefully less disastrous than that one

[chrome snow]

I wish you luck Aggy.

I really hope that it goes better then this.

[vapid dune]

Thank you woey ❤️

[valid cloud]

i feel u aggy. I struggle to find and keep a job because of my transness as well. The bible belt is cruel and unforgiving. Hope ur next interview goes well

[vapid dune]

Thank u frend ❤️

[spice sphinx]

Really starting to feel more comfortable in my body and telling myself I’m pretty :3

I LOVE BEING TRANS LETS GOOO BABYYYYYY🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

[chrome snow]

FUCK YEEEEEEEEE

[vapid dune]

Does anyone else have this thing where like (and transmascs can chime in too just of course with the reverse issue id imagine) like 90% of the time when I pull into a drive thru they’ll call me sir at the drive thru and then I pull up to the window and they’ll call me ma’am there

I feel like now more than ever I’m having that happen when I’m buying food

Like I just drove away from Taco Bell with that experience

[stable cradle]

ppl definitely switch what pronouns they use for me when they hear my voice, usually they start off right but then hear my voice and switch up

[zinc oriole]

On a lower dose of T I had the opposite ish

On the phone I'd be called sir bc of my voice but my appearance would get me misgendered if I didn't speak

[austere jay]

i’ve hit that sweet spot in my voice where i don’t get misgendered anymore

i’ve always looked relatively cis masc but the voice and facial hair sell it now

my face has also sharpened quite a bit

[cold whale]

i can’t wait for that it still hasn’t kicked in for me really

i look like im 12

[zinc oriole]

Changes happen at a different pace for everyone!

Depends on you and depends on your dose

[vapid dune]

I like hearing transmasc experiences since I like seeing what’s going on with y’all it’s fking rad

And i do have the issue where I still sound. Idk. More on the masculine side? But I’m okay with it

I don’t think I’ll do voice training tbh tbh

[cold whale]

i’m over a year on t

[unborn atlas]

trans men are my brothers

[unborn atlas]

yeah hell yeah hell fuckin yeah

[cold whale]

we love our trans sisters

[unborn atlas]

enbies cool siblings too

[cold whale]

love our enby siblings‼️

[vapid dune]

!!! Hell yea. I’ve realized I like this mix of gender traits I got going on. Estrogen will keep doing its job but I won’t let it pull me to complete femininity

[zinc oriole]

I'd say it took me up until like

now until my face started looking masc

ive been on T for 3 years (a bit less since I went off of it for a bit)

[cold whale]

agh i shall be patient then

[zinc oriole]

even then my face is still round. it could be an age thing too

[unborn atlas]

I love being a sinuous, looming thing with the voice of Christopher Lee

[vapid dune]

The more this shit feminizes me the more masc I present. Transneutrality is fucking rad

[cold whale]

[unborn atlas]

that's a new word for me

[cold whale]

i think the coolest part of transitioning for me is being able to wear more traditionally feminine shit n still feel confident about passing

[vapid dune]

!!! Hell yea I’m all about that comfort in what people don’t expect out of your transition

In past months people always asked me if I plan on wearing dresses and high heels and heavier makeup

Like no bitch I like my pants and boots and tshirts and I feel best this way

[unborn atlas]

I do like dresses a lot

don't really like how makeup feels tho

[cold whale]

makeup is sensory hell

when i was younger i always wanted to try makeup to make my face look more masc but god it feels so gross

[vapid dune]

I mess with it to a very minimalist degree. I do skin care daily, and most I’ll wear is very gentle foundation and some eyeliner

Anything beyond that nope out of my comfort zone

[unborn atlas]

how to dress as human 🎶
with, like, a skirt? and, like, some heels
now I look stupid 😔
is this how every human feels?

[bronze ocean]

REAL

[unborn atlas]

foundation is weird to me

the flesh goo

[cold whale]

it’s so thick and uncomfy

[unborn atlas]

well don't put it on thick

personally I touch my face too much

[vapid dune]

There’s been times irl when I’ve met people recently and tell them I’m trans and they’re like “and uhhh does that mean you were born a girl or a guy? Which way are you going?” And I like that they can’t tell :3

[unborn atlas]

my strat is to kind of lean into it

[vapid dune]

Yea just do gentle taps with a beauty blender. Gentle. Thinnest layer possible

[unborn atlas]

feral steez

[cold whale]

either way i have sensory problems so it won’t work lol

[unborn atlas]

wipes my mouth with my palm and leaves a big dramatic smear on purpose

[vapid dune]

Fair

[unborn atlas]

yeah that's fun

wanna see the makeup I wore to machine girl?

[vapid dune]

Hell yea

[unborn atlas]

be quick because I WILL delete it

[cold whale]

yes

COOL AS HELL

[vapid dune]

Sick!!!!!!!!

[unborn atlas]

I did it with my fingers, fuck a brush

[vapid dune]

Left pic gives some when the imposter is sus vibes in the best way possible

Makeup looks rad

[unborn atlas]

lowkey channeling Aphex Twin

[vapid dune]

I always assumed under ur mask there was just. Goat

I’ve seen the truth

[unborn atlas]

it is

I'm a fountain of GOAT in the shape of a girl

[vapid dune]

I mean what nothing. Zenoby is goat

[chrome snow]

Zenoby tha 🐐 no 🧢

[vapid dune]

[cold whale]

[stable cradle]

the only makeup I can stand is eyeliner/shadow anything else feels like hell

[vapid dune]

Deadass deadass fr

[unborn atlas]

just like me fr fr

[austere jay]

only wear makeup when i’m putting on scary ass face oaint

that’s real gender

[spice sphinx]

I wear my black lipstick and eyeshadow n stuff :3

That’s about it

Oh and I guess corpse paint for concerts I just love doing corpse paint

[civic ibex]

girlmoder mod finally schedules HRT appointment 👾

consultation on the 21st and my friend is gonna hook me up with m first bottle of T

5 years in the making babeyyy!!!

[balmy pond]

Massive W, so happy 4 <3333

[bronze ocean]

lets go‼️

im so stoked for u

[vapid dune]

ANOTHER W FOR THE T KINGS IN THE HOUSE BABY WOOOOOOO!!!!

[civic ibex]

:,,,)

[zinc oriole]

SO HAPPY FOR ALL OF YOU GOING ON T RN

It's such a wonderful and life changing thing

[vapid dune]

Feel like the last dozen or so HRT announcements here have been T and it’s so rad seeing y’all all able to finally get the care you deserved all these years

[vapid dune]

Deadass HRT makes you finally able to live your damn life

[zinc oriole]

I'm shy/semi nonverbal bc of autism but testosterone has allowed me to actually speak more bc I don't hate how I sound

I feel like the voice coming out of me is mine

It changed my life and enabled me to be more confident and make more friends :]

[vapid dune]

Fucking rad!!!!! Love to hear

[balmy pond]

Ur not alone :3
It's been E for me but finally realizing I'm not a monster has helped immensely in getting me to put myself out there

I know I'm worth the effort c:

N now I have friends again 😭

Lifes kinda cool sometimes

[stable cradle]

im gonna call up the gender clinic my doctor told be abt at my consultation thing tn when I get home!!!! : D so many tboy Ws recently

[zinc oriole]

:] that makes me happy to hear. I'm glad you can love yourself and know you're worthy of friends and love!

[vapid dune]

I feel like my true euphoria didn’t kick in until a few months ago when I quit worrying about having to present and look more fem. And realized I’m far more comfy and happy in my neutrality. So what if I’m occasionally called sir? I finally realized HRT doesn’t mean I have to be a girl and it felt liberating and like I’ve found my comfort zone

[zinc oriole]

WAHHOO

[vapid dune]

But I’m super happy for all our trans brothers and sisters. So cool hearing y’all love yourselves as your true self that was just waiting to be unlocked

[balmy pond]

Same 2 u :3

[vapid dune]

Nice!!!!! Fucking sick

[balmy pond]

It's been so long overdue hasn't it?

[zinc oriole]

Everybody says it but gender is a spectrum and isn't static! It can change anytime and adapt with your life and you! You can walk around in it if you want

I'm a guy but realizing that doesn't confine me to binary or patriarchal standards has helped so much

[vapid dune]

Yea!!!! Sick way to put it

[zinc oriole]

Looking at ftm magazines or articles from previous decades has really helped

I don't need to be a cis guy or make myself into rigid forms of masculinity I just play w it

[vapid dune]

Yea I felt really like idk happy the other day when I was reading into Magnus Hirschfield’s studies into gender non conforming people and his propositions into validating non-binary individuals as something some people will naturally incline towards and I was like. Damn this man was based 100 years ago and here I am in 2023 letting myself still be pulled into the binaries that society set for us

[zinc oriole]

WE HAVE ALWAYS EXISTED!!!!

Modern gender norms are the product of colonialism

[civic ibex]

im doing an online consultation and honestly the set up process was easy and quick as fuck

[zinc oriole]

Telehealth for trans care has been a lifesaver

[civic ibex]

with my insurance it was just a $25 copay

[stable cradle]

yoooo: 0

[tardy creek]

@stable cradle has leveled up! (2 ➜ 3)

[vapid dune]

Plume your provider by some chance?

[civic ibex]

nooo its called circle medical

[vapid dune]

Ahhh

[civic ibex]

plume doesnt take my insurance

[zinc oriole]

Is it state wide or for everybody

[civic ibex]

:(

[vapid dune]

Damn

[zinc oriole]

Bc like

[civic ibex]

everybody :3

[zinc oriole]

Folx is expensive af I can't do it lol

OMG REALLY

Do they take medicaid

[civic ibex]

same :( i tried to consult with plume and folx but its sooo expensive

im not sure tbh…

[vapid dune]

I can do plume just. It does bother me sometimes paying 99 dollars on a month where they didn’t do shit for me lmao like. Why can’t you only charge me on months when you’re doing my blood work or having checkups on me

[stable cradle]

i still need to look into informed consent clinics more, mainly if they’ll take parental consent bc under 18

[zinc oriole]

As much as folx is convenient I can't really maintain it

here y’all go just in case :)

[vapid dune]

Thx bubby I’ll keep it in mind

[civic ibex]

i looked on reddit too n saw nothing but good things

[vapid dune]

I know ONE DAY I’ll leave plume for sure

[zinc oriole]

TYSM

[civic ibex]

its good 2 hav options :33

[vapid dune]

Pin it to this thread I suppose?

[civic ibex]

bet

[vapid dune]

Main reason to use plume for me was the fact that I’m not a citizen and don’t know when I’ll have that sorted out so I like their no questions asked approach and I was on E like 2 months after signing up with informed consent

[zinc oriole]

They do not take medicaid but maybe once I have true insurance I can

[vapid dune]

But I know one day I have to jump boats

[civic ibex]

PINS ABOVE ARE TRUSTED GENDER AFFIRMING CARE WEBSITES N SERVICES. IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS OR QUESTIONS @ or DM ME :)

[vapid dune]

!!!! Heck yea

[civic ibex]

:3

[vapid dune]

https://getplume.co I guess I’ll plug Plume too because despite the 99 dollars a month price tag, they seem to now actually have gender affirming care available in every state. It’s good if you don’t ever want to meet face to face with any doctor (other than a phlebotomist for your blood work which they pay for) and all their doctors are trans themselves so it’s a good trustworthy source of knowledge. I have hardly ever had any issue with them, and they respond promptly to any concerns, emergencies, and also are really good in terms of mental health as they have their therapists frequently check up on you and they also provide antidepressants as part of their services and mental health wellness groups as part of the subscription. They’re a good consideration if they’re within your budget. EDIT: also provide letters of support for approval for top and bottom surgery, help out with paperwork for name and gender change and other legal needs!!! Also informed consent and prompt consultations are great

[bronze ocean]

i love trans people

[balmy pond]

Me too c:

[vapid dune]

I love trans people so much too I wish they were real

[cold whale]

my exact same situation

hrt does wonders

[zinc oriole]

:DD I AM SO GLAD

Hrt is amazing and wonderful

[valid cloud]

ay anyone on t in here know why i just did my shot and now my leg feels Cold from the inside 💀 (i do intramuscular and i injected it correctly in the right muscle on my left leg) i asked my doctor but i'm waiting on a response and i was just wondering if any of y'all knew

[zinc oriole]

May have hit a blood vessel or there could've been an air bubble in the syringe! It's ok if this happens once

As long as it doesn't persist for longer than a day you should be ok

[valid cloud]

ohhhh okay

there was a small air bubble but i couldn't get it out and my doctor said that air bubbles r okay. but also there was one on my first shot and this didn't happen

[zinc oriole]

Depends on the size of it
Did you flick the needle a few times?

That helps get the bubble out

The syringe I mean

[valid cloud]

yea yea i did. it was smaller than the bubble from the first injection (which worked jusy fine)

[zinc oriole]

The tiny bubbles are the worst :[ it takes a bit to get no bubbles they'll happen at times

[vapid dune]

Air bubbles are indeed okay. IF they’re small and settle on the bottom I often have this happen too. This is completely okay. Sometimes there’s some stragglers that float in the liquid and are hard to get out even if you flick it for a long fucking while and those are the absolute worst

I don’t know if maybe it’s just a difference in testosterone and how it feels but when I inject my E into my belly I get this rumbly kinda upset stomach feeling for like an hour afterwards, even when everything goes smoothly. And I seem to be fine so I’d say try not to freak out about it for now? If it’s persistent or gets worse then ask your provider

Hopefully you also 1. Get in the habit of checking your vial for debris every time you inject, sometimes some dust or other particles may get in the vial and your pharmacy should replace it in that case and 2. Roll your vial between your palms a few times to warm up the solution a bit, I’ve heard this is particularly important with testosterone cyprionate as it tends to solidify a bit more as a substance

Just some little precautions to see if they help with this issue

[valid cloud]

alright thank both of y'all sm

yeah my doctor just told me i'll be okay :D

[vapid dune]

Of course!!! While injecting may seem complicated. I feel the process is so streamlined that the worst you can do is get a bruise from improperly injecting

[timid grail]

being able to pass well enough to have long hair and not get misgendered is really nice

i only had short hair to combat being misgendered but being on t its nice to have long hair again.. being native its just kind of an important part of my culture and i like having long hair and it sucked to kind of just feel like i was forced into having short hair to be taken seriously as a man

i ❤️ long hair

[vapid dune]

Shoutout to transmascs with long hair and transfems with short hair

[inland schooner]

I am a transmale growing out my hair and honestly just waiting for it to get there I feel a bit dysphoric but I know for sure I'll rock it

It looks odd midstage kind of long and my bangs r super long which is what makes me think it looks weird

[zinc oriole]

YESSS LONG HAIR

i believe in you long hair is so awesome

[unborn atlas]

transmasc dudes with long hair and beards is a pretty good look tbh

trans jesus sorta deal

[zenith turtle]

orchietomy scheduled for the 15th of March good lord that’s so soon

[unborn atlas]

orky..........

[vapid dune]

WOOOOOOH ROSLYN HELL YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once you get that pair snip snapped you stop producing testosterone for the most part right?

Or at least it reduces a lot

[inland schooner]

Jesus was transgender he told me himself

[zenith turtle]

gets rid of it completely!

[unborn atlas]

don't you need a little bit of testosterone tho?

[inland schooner]

Nah

You can live on one hormone, you just can't have NO hormones that's all since it regulates bone density...etc

Atleast as far as I have researched (am not transfem)

[vapid dune]

I can imagine it would also lower muscle mass by a lot by having zero testosterone production

[unborn atlas]

like even cis women have a lil bit of testosterone

after being on blockers for so long I was told I don't produce testosterone "at male levels"

but iunno I'm not an endocrinologist

[inland schooner]

Oh yeah for sure, but I don't think it's entirely necessary to function as even some cis guys get similar things for prostate cancer where it spreads with testosterone , if it becomes a problem I'm sure you would be able to supplement it but I am also not an endocrinologist so idk for sure

[unborn atlas]

hmm

[zenith turtle]

yes

and yea it cuts it down to zero! there will no longer be anything in my body that produces hormones, I will be dependent on estrogen pills for my bone health until menopause time

[zenith turtle]

also this is true

[austere jay]

i love being a transgender man with long hair

fucking rules

[inland schooner]

ya! thats why they recommend not to be on hormone blockers for too long into teenage years :D

[zenith turtle]

v v true

[bronze ocean]

you need a little bit of testosterone, and your adrenal glands will still produce some androgens which will be converted into testosterone

but also hell yeah lets gooo orchi time

[unborn atlas]

oh! cool

love being a meat-thing

[bronze ocean]

same!!

lets go pulsating flesh‼️

[unborn atlas]

team meat! team meat!

[bronze ocean]

real?

[unborn atlas]

feeling a bit fragile today

kept coming across a bunch of anti trans people

[misty harness]

feel that

tbh I cried in the car on the way home last night cuz of shit that's happened since I came back to texas

feeling v isolated

[unborn atlas]

wolfgirls together strong

[stable cradle]

i hope things start to look up for u guys soon, and just everyone else here in general🫂🫂 it feels like all I see in the news right now is states passing new anti-trans legislations or proposing anti-trans bills and it sucks so much ass

[unborn atlas]

the whole thing makes me wanna keep my head down and have zero opinions

[misty harness]

yeah fr, I've become increasingly afraid to go out especially since I'm at the point where I can't really hide it anymore

[stable cradle]

watching everything go down while i’m in the process of getting hrt is scary too

[spice sphinx]

There’s a very real chance that I could just lose my access to hrt in the near future because of desantis

It’s horrifying

Praying for all of my trans siblings out there that we can all make it through this together

[unborn atlas]

trans death fortress NOW

[spice sphinx]

This but actually

I mean things will only get worse until we do another stonewall

Put down the picket sign and pick up a brick nerd

[unborn atlas]

I don't think I'm cut out for violence

people say stuff like "be gay do crimes" with such cavalier enthusiasm but I don't have the guts for that

[spice sphinx]

I think that’s true for too many of us unfortunately

Pacifism has sunk it’s debilitating claws into many of my peers

Add to that the people who are just simply unable mentally or physically

[stable cradle]

it would give more use to my lifting if i’m throwing bricks at transphobes

[spice sphinx]

Another stonewall would require unifying one of the most disjointed and separated civil rights movements in the world right now

[unborn atlas]

this is the Trans Death Fortress btw

[spice sphinx]

Class unification is one hell of a thing

[vapid dune]

Is this by Zdzisław Beksinski

His art is fucking rad

[unborn atlas]

[inland schooner]

i tell my boyfriend about polyamory (he is joking)

[sturdy trail]

wait do polyam people actually have a voting system or is that a joke

polyam mythology

polyamology

[vapid dune]

Id assume it’s a case to case thing lmao

Or yea let’s go by the assumption that large poly groups just instinctually decide to hold an emergency meeting and vote someone off among us style

[unborn atlas]

ain't no drama like poly relationship breakdown drama

[inland schooner]

id say each one is different!

I feel like every day we see fascism from the right wing be more and more blatant and they get louder about it

It is GENUINELY a scary thing to witness year after year. They make zero attempt to hide the fact that they want to eradicate us even by force

And btw this isn’t some nobody just running his mouth. It’s the host for the daily wire.

[unborn atlas]

it is scary

but I'm also tired of saying it's scary

I've run out of ways to say "that's fucked up"

[vapid dune]

Yea. I know. I’m more on that end. The fact that I acknowledge it’s scary but I’ve been so numbed to it that I know it’s what can be expected

And no one should have to come to that point where they’re numb to the idea that your political belief wants to terminate their way of life by any means possible

[spice sphinx]

Imagine being this comically evil

There are people clapping JUBILANTLY hearing this guy speak

I’m so glad it’s just not worth a single shit to humanize my oppressors

They are genuinely inhumane

[vapid dune]

My favorite part is he’s going around claiming libel at news sources quoting him saying this. Like you said it no point in trying to scrub your actions. You said it and got a crowd of fascist old white people to clap at your blatant call for genocide

[tardy creek]

@vapid dune has leveled up! (10 ➜ 11)

[spice sphinx]

I can’t wait for some middling know-nothing with their head up their ass to tell me people like this don’t deserve death

[vapid dune]

Every last fascist spreads a deadly agenda, so they deserve death genuinely whoever argues against it is stupid. No compromise

[spice sphinx]

Yeah you reap what you sow

Applying a grey area to people who only work on terms of black and white only betrays yourself

You do no one any favors by playing devils advocate for fascists or advocating debate against them or peaceful protest, you’re just a moron

[unborn atlas]

antifascism is self defense

[chrome snow]

Fucking this.

[inland schooner]

And it keeps getting reported on and he's going "that's not what I said!!!" Yes it is

[zinc oriole]

At least own being a bigot if you're going to be one (@ him

He has no spine. Hate when ppl like that act like what they're saying is in the best interest of others or they pretend they didn't do it.

[sturdy trail]

paternalism and bigotry go hand in hand

[proper igloo]

[stable cradle]

I fucking hate that guy. fucking horrifying how many people he reaches who religiously believe him. would love to throw a brick at him.

[zinc oriole]

People need to learn to think for themselves and consider others existences

Idk how people can follow figureheads

[sturdy trail]

[zinc oriole]

[bronze ocean]

im at a point in transitioning where my gender is becoming more sludge

mtftm is real

[zinc oriole]

YESSSS

THE SLUDGE STAGE IS PEAK

[bronze ocean]

when i say sludge here i am specifically also referencing one of the english translations of dorohedoro

(mud-sludge)

[zinc oriole]

OHH

I need to read dorohedoro

One of my friends is trying to get me into it

[vapid dune]

I felt that

When you’ve come to terms with your gender so hard you enjoy being a girl in a boyish way and a boy in a girlish way

[bronze ocean]

thats right!!

[bronze ocean]

im trying to get everyone i talk to into it

its really good

[zinc oriole]

THE CHARACTERS ARE SO COOL I wanna get into it

[vapid dune]

I’ve heard plenty good things about I

It

[austere jay]

[zinc oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/hypnosis-gif-20354324

Ohhh Vinny you will do it

[proper igloo]

somsnosa will forever be my gender envy

[stable cradle]

just bullied my first transphobe online guys this is an achievement

it was under a vid of jerma saying he supports lgbtq+ ppl, they said that a trans person wasn’t human and then I went back and forth w them with like 7 word unserious replies and I had them writing whole damn paragraphs back

also went for my art in the process (which was completely unrelated + they had none of their own posted)

and thennnnnn they told me I was wasting my time at the end of one of their paragraphs. this person is 21

[bronze ocean]

u really showed them

[cold whale]

what a loser

[stable cradle]

oh u bet I called them one

[zinc oriole]

SOMS IS SO COOL

That person has nothing better to do

Tbh

[unborn atlas]

[stable cradle]

[unborn atlas]

[bronze ocean]

[austere jay]

t mogged my enemy today

context shitty old friend started t before me, haven’t seen him in months but he came into my work and i look and sound like jve been on t for months longer than he has

it’s the small things this is my little victory for the day anyways fuck that guy he’s horrible

[unborn atlas]

what does mogged mean?

[vapid dune]

To like give someone envy in regards to transition progress or traits you wish you had

[unborn atlas]

hm!

[bronze ocean]

more generally mogging is like upstaging someone

[spice sphinx]

W

[bronze ocean]

like if someone posts a selfie and u post a better selfie after that

[bronze ocean]

get his fucking ass!!

[austere jay]

yeah that’s what i mean

mogging like the gym term

but with a trans spin on it

[bronze ocean]

yeyeye

oh u didnt know about the /lgbt/ usage

but they took it from gymbros anyways tbf

[inland schooner]

😄😄😄😄😄 fuck yeah

[austere jay]

i avoid /lgbt/ like the plague and i generally only talk to dudes my age who live in the gym tbh

i just thjnk it’s funnier in a gym context

[austere jay]

massive win

[inland schooner]

changing my name on medicare rn

[vapid dune]

I hate being extremely aware of their terminology but hating /lgbt/ with a passion

[inland schooner]

have to call medicare😭😭

[vapid dune]

SOME good stuff can come out of it but there’s plenty of internalized transphobia in that place

[inland schooner]

i gotta confirm identity and theyre like you're 15 and changing your name...? and i was like..yeah, its been legally changed... 😞

[inland schooner]

i didnt do it since i only had a photo of my birth certificate 🫡 that was such a waste of time

[zenith turtle]

I’m just reaching the point of changing my name w insurance n shit like that so I’m fucking excitedddd

boutta hit up paypal be like fuck off

[inland schooner]

my mum said to just close the account and reopen it since they cant tell you no for that

[zenith turtle]

true although ive had mine for quite awhile

n now I’m ~2 weeks away from being able to do it

But also ur mom is smart

[chrome snow]

That place is a toxic cesspit, just like all of that god forsaken website.

[bronze ocean]

my brain has simply turned to slush from early 2000s internet tbh

thank god lgbt wasnt around back then lmfao

[stable cradle]

PHONE INTAKE W A GENDER CLINIC MONDAY NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!

[bronze ocean]

LETS GOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cold whale]

SO MANY WS RECENTLY

[austere jay]

the only reason i’m ever on 4chan is to lurk on /x/ and /o/ and i barely do that anymore just cuz of the stank ass fucking vibes

not fun anymore now that i’m an adult with critical thinking skills

[balmy pond]

Real omg

I used to lurk on /lit/ and /mu/ a bit
Shit stopped being funny real quick past high school

[vapid dune]

when you make 4chan friends it's only so long before they show true colors so yea. I kinda REALLY fell out of that it's so damn toxic

[balmy pond]

fr

one of my best friends growing up was/is like that

we still talk every now and then but its so exhausting talking to them sometimes

like u can just feel the vitriol and self hatred ooze out with every syllable

[austere jay]

generally nothing interests me on there anymore

i used to browse /x/ a lot because i’m highly interested in the paranormal (special interest) but a lot of the stuff on there is either cliche and boring or full of fucking dog whistles

it’s all garbage

[vapid dune]

yea... I have a guy who I've known since like 2012 who still messages me basically every month despite me ignoring him. Still with the same rhetoric of him being now past 30 and not having a girlfriend yet. like buddy. when you do nothing but browse r9k and post racist memes and demand a christian white virgin girlfriend i wonder why.

[austere jay]

dude i hate r9k

annoys me

[vapid dune]

when he noticed im trans a couple months ago he messaged me interested as if he's willing to settle down with less than what his goals are for a cis white girl and im like looooooooooooool no thanks and havent spoken to him since

mfer implying i'm lesser for being trans and poc than a cis white girl and still expected me to be interested

[bronze ocean]

to be expected tbh

4chan just really sucks tbh. like its racist and transphobic ofc but even for lurking theres just barely anything worthwhile

[stable cradle]

idk how ive avoided going on 4chan for all this time

[balmy pond]

by being a smart cookie

[bronze ocean]

because it SUCKS

and it also was never good

[balmy pond]

literally the only worthwhile thing i ever got from that website was how to pirate media

[bronze ocean]

i went on it for emo sharethreads

[balmy pond]

OMFG U 2!?

[bronze ocean]

ya!!

[balmy pond]

thats how i got into emo hot damn

[bronze ocean]

its why im such a fruity mfer nowadays

[balmy pond]

i will admit /emoe/ was fun for a while

fr omllll

[bronze ocean]

my old profile pic used to be an edit of the emoe pic

[vapid dune]

I’m pretty sure it was on there I discovered HRT is a thing and that transitioning wasn’t exclusively operations but a full on hormonal change so. I’ll give them that for awakening me to the truth

[balmy pond]

but yea i found i kill giants self titled in a sharethread and it was all downhill from there

[balmy pond]

oh god morbidly curious now

[balmy pond]

ok not from 4chan directly but the aforementioned friend was the one who told me hrt/bottom surgery was a thing so yea, good to knwo im not alone

[bronze ocean]

just a fun little thing i started doing

[balmy pond]

lol

it is a pretty adorable pfp have to admit

might just be nostalgia talking tho

[bronze ocean]

i started editing it to look more like me

[balmy pond]

god i wish i could be like 17 again

but like a girl this time

[bronze ocean]

just a lil fun

[balmy pond]

awwwe i luv it ❤️

[chrome snow]

I've been trying to cut off two people that I have met on /co/ for about a year or so and I really don't know how to do it.

[balmy pond]

tell them they stink

[chrome snow]

I really wish that I never found that website, it did absolutely nothing for me besides a show me a bunch of fucked up stuff.

Thankfully I'm in a better place now.

[balmy pond]

same tbh

its so ironic because i genuinely feel like i would've come out waaaaaaay sooner if i never found 4chan despite it indirectly introducing me to the whole concept of trans people

its so sad how many eggs find their way there

[chrome snow]

She's an absolute hero!

[final heart]

oh oh ok she didn't leak it but she is publishing it

[unborn atlas]

she's not the source this time

[final heart]

yeah

i just read that

but good for her tho

damn.

[inland schooner]

I got a really good document for voice training in the/lbgt/ threads

[inland schooner]

Only good thing from /lgbt/

[zinc oriole]

Would you be able to send it in here? I'm curious abt voice training myself

[balmy pond]

Yeah seconding Wayne, that sounds super useful

[dim sleet]

i am thirding this even tho i havent spoken in here yet hello

[bronze ocean]

im fourthing this

im also interesting in ftm voice training stuff to share around its very far and between

[vapid dune]

I am fifthing this for the gang even if I won’t use voice training but it’s useful for the rest

[chrome snow]

I'm sixing this because I want to make my voice sound a little more feminine.

[vapid dune]

Just a smidgen more feminine

[bronze ocean]

so real

just a bit

just that im clockable both ways

[chrome snow]

Just a tiny pinch more feminine.

A itsy bitsy more.

[final heart]

wish i could voice train

[vapid dune]

Too real

People who I tell about me being trans seem to genuinely wonder if I’m transfem or transmasc lmao

[bronze ocean]

i want to be this

[inland schooner]

sure! give me a second, i wonder if it's still there but im not too sure

[inland schooner]

i only have the ftm for pre-T if youd like it ?

[zinc oriole]

I'm not sure how much it'd help because I've been on T for awhile

But you should send it here!

[inland schooner]

ok!!

[bronze ocean]

it should still help i think tho

like. theres a variety of techniques you can employ to change your voice

[zinc oriole]

Ahh that's true

[bronze ocean]

ppl are usually like oh T will shrimply give you a passing voice but thats not always the case tbh and it can take a while so i think its definitely worthwhile to look at some guides and practice and see if you get results you like

[vapid dune]

yea I can't imagine how it would be any less effective post starting T

anything you can do to to change your voice should help
