transdome

[frosty sky]

So kansas is a no go

I wonder how the swifties are gonna take this

[elder saffron]

Tennessee decided to ramp up it's bullshit now too

And the FDA stuff really worries me

I'm worried it's gonna get to the point that we're just completely screwed

[random flax]

i highly doubt it tbh trump has been fucking us over since before he was even re-elected

a lot of people r probably gonna resort 2 diy with all this shit happening

[random flax]

in red states yeah, i'd like to stay a bit optimistic and believe that blue states are a safe haven for trans people who wanna be on hrt

if anyone here can, i'd just suggest trying to take it easy, take breaks from the news and shit

as difficult as it is

and i hope that anyone who is in a red state can get out of there

please take it easy and take good care of yourselves. all of you 🩷

[elder saffron]

The problem is with the hate group appealing to the FDA is to get possession of diy hrt illegal period

[spring lynx]

good luck, lmao
its diy for a reason, so unless they want the 60+ year old grandpas clinging to their testosterone supplements to also throw a fit, its not gonna be erased that easily

[elder saffron]

Customs is the risk

Testosterone is already a controlled substance. They just want to also make estrogen that too

And if youre already making a list of whos all trans and customs busts you for importing DIY estrogen then youre gonna have a really hard time denying you ordered it

Not trying to be a doomer, but it really is my concern

[digital tiger]

i'd say a lot of blue states are pretty lenient on stuff like hrt, at least where i live!! i'm in oregon and i got a referral from an endocrinologist, who im still waiting to contact me and my parents if that gives any idea 😭 im also pretty sure there was a state law passed here that protects people in the medical field that administer things like hrt and whatnot too. like their information is private or something, id have to look more into it

im defnintely thinking about everyone who lives in a red state though, im genuinely wishing the best for you all

[random flax]

^^^

[random flax]

yeah but it seems like theres now a nationwide ban on gac for minors, one of my friends who's 16 couldn't get an appointment w my endocrinologist

so that's definitely worrisome

[digital tiger]

Yeah that is absolutely worrisome, I wish the best for ur friend!!

That’s really weird though, like they weren’t able to talk to the endocrinologist?

I’m 17 and I’m still waiting to hear back from the endocrinologist I was referred to, and I’m only going in to talk about hrt and stuff with my parents

[random flax]

moreso she couldnt perscribe him hrt

we're in nj so

and he didnt wanna go to an endo if he couldnt even get perscribed hrt

[random flax]

ooh i was in ur position just last year

if ur endo is anything like mine they js ask 4 ur therapy records and r like "yea ur good 2 go"

they also needed an additional letter from my neurologist (i have epilepsy)

[digital tiger]

Yeah I don’t blame him at all 😭

[digital tiger]

Ooohh alright!! The person I was referred to is in a dense city part of Oregon which are usually very progressive

[random flax]

whenever you mention oregon i think of elliott smith lmaooo

[digital tiger]

Yeah I can see that LMAOO

[next harbor]

shoutout to my endo, who has recently been giving me my exact, usual perscription and not x4 of it somehow

same person who says trans patients are her fav and that if she's ever unable to give testosterone to anyone, she's going to be annoying about it and not give any to elderly guys either, citing the same bureaucracy

if there's anyone who's good at affecting us law, it's the geriatric population

[solid oasis]

Nice

To go back on what I said also; I don't think things will get as bad as you could possibly imagine but at the same time I don't say that with certainty and it largely depends on inaction and how far this is going to go.
Like I do think as people say; itll get worse before it "gets better" but man the people in power atm certainly have a grip and influence on everything politically and are largely against us/buying out their influence. I've seen more people become more hostile against the idea of transness locally even and its not to be taken lightly

But that said local voices have also been louder on the positive side of things.. I dont wanna discredit that either, hmm

[golden plover]

This channel makes me damn glad to not be American.

ur endo is a real one

hi

how did i not notice this chat’s existence

[jagged quiver]

hrt actually starting to do things but i go back home in 1.5 months and i still havent told my mom i started it

Umm good luckk!

Hopefully it goes well

[solid oasis]

Yeaaah good luck fr

I kind of live like that around family where they largely dont know or dont support it or "find out in some way" then dislike me entirely despite my previous standing w/them but. I also kind of dont care anymore (: im very distant from them atp anyhow

semi contradicted myself: when I say "live like that around" I mean the few cases where I happen to be around them idfk u get it

[jagged quiver]

i get u

even tho im in college im still very dependent on them so there will still be periods where im living with them for extended periods of time

OH YEAH I was the 100th I noticed that it was at 99 and I wanted to make it even

Also hi transdome

[misty harness]

deleting those cuz flashing

[open knoll]

ur kinda lucky in that department i think

im in my last semester of college and im still heavily financially dependent on my parents because i don’t make enough at my part time job to afford ANY of my bills. but they are pieces of shit who don’t care if i live or die and they’ve said that they will cut me off starting in june, which means i don’t get to stay with them over the summer or vacations anymore because they think i’m too old for that shit regardless of how bad my financial circumstances are

if i still can’t find a full time job, im basically dead

[frosty sky]

Tough luck....

Really

Im going to bless you today okay?

On hold with the Kansas department of vehicles because I keep getting a letter that I need to change my drivers license but it should be valid because I didn’t even have an opportunity to change the gender marker

[solid oasis]

Augh wtf

[grand hearth]

THEY FUCKING HUNG UP ON ME BECAUSE ITS 4 PM

Phones automatically cut because of that apparently what the hell

[solid oasis]

-_-;; Im sort of worried because iirc didn't they claim that theyd contact or keep a record of a "trans database" orrr at least attempt to have this info accessible

[grand hearth]

Clearly they have if they knew to contact me. I did inquire about a letter allowing for change of gender marker so that’s probably how they knew. I just fortunately (or unfortunately) never had a chance to get it done so my license is the same

[solid oasis]

Yeaaah I was thinking itd connect to that

[golden plover]

Fuck them, as you said, they can't even get you on technicality

[solid oasis]

This ended up being a big rant wtf

1 - car headlights / this sort of vibe, ofc I dont have much to show but I like incorporating this in concepts regarding mech designs
2 - idk man (those weird shapes/patterns) (im skimming inspo folders rn but I can cred later/throw into reverse img search)
3 - Mark Otherman Dread Architect (everyone in the room groans) (probably smth to do with "weird look" / I actually like the ambience and presentation of the song/mv itself it really impacted me somehow and aligned with pre-existing concepts and sound/visuals I love. Dies
4 - human-inhuman designs, think deerchip or bwusagi's art. (no examples)
5 - weird bugs (spoiler?) like that. and that weird moth. rove beetles look cool too
6 - body horror/"threatening / uncanny looks" in general
7 - this early concept of godzilla final wars feels like it represents Something...
8 - yeah storms / lightning idk dude

and tbh i've always resonated with like concepts or inhuman characters throughout My Entire Life and that dysphoria has been persistent and atp due to the "mismatch" with myself and how I wish to look/be perceived; I mainly view my body as a weird "vessel to take care of that I happen to embody" rather than what I really am. grah.

I have a friend who loves dorehedoro omg so whenever I see this guy its like a positive association

fun fact he is mista aka the guy i mightve talked about to first show me mg / mchn vs wlf / said it was a "me-core" song and nailed the vibe but yea!! ..2019 i think

[random flax]

OOOH YES

[random flax]

i see the vision w ibuki and chiaki im a trans guy but i love their swag

[scenic falcon]

how do u guys realize u were genderly envious/euphoric of certain characters? cuz I realized that I want to achieve gender, but I dont have any inspirations...

[random flax]

tbh idk just

interacting with media

i guess does that

henry rollins gives me a lot of gender envy but also hes handsome asf bro

[scenic falcon]

damn i c it...

[solid oasis]

it hits me like a fucking train

like I wont be consciously thinking about it honestly it just creeps up on me and then Hits and its strong

for me it dependsss but seems to be associated with certain vibe/personality/theme or made up of pre existing aesthetics ive already really enjoyed

if this makes sense

[open knoll]

i mean the simplest idea is that you see a character and go “i wanna be like them”

[solid oasis]

thats tru too

[open knoll]

although half the time it’s “do i want them or do i want to be them”

[scenic falcon]

I mean I dont like this body now, yet I dont think I got inspired by any other characters. Since there's so many different vibes and aesthetics I could choose from and that I like

[carmine cobalt]

i think when im watching something i will sometimes find that i really really like a character other people don't like that much, or i'll just be really pleased with their qualities and wish i could see them on screen more, wish i had their swag

[open knoll]

the everlasting problem of your faves not being generally well liked by the fandom

if i had a nickel for every time i fell in love with a bear with long hair who tend to be comic relief characters who barely get any recognition, id have two nickels
which isn’t a lot but it’s interesting that it happened twice

although it’s more “i want them” than “i want to be them” bc i’m trying to postpone twink death until i get married (which is never gonna happen anyway)

Shelly Duvall :}

[topaz rapids]

[tawny tree]

[candid ore]

NOT dismissing interpretation but the song was written actually as the opposite, will thought he was genderqueer for a long time because he enjoyed crossdressing and wrote the song about his frustrations about people not being able to accept that he came to realize he's cis :3

this is part of what he said about it in iirc his patreon blog

[west anchor]

Phillips one blade is goated if ur trans

Great for everywhere

And its waterproof

I'm planning on getting a second one so I don't have to swap my face and body blades

[golden plover]

Yeah, but mine cuts less close to the skin now, I need a new blade

[west anchor]

Tbf for my face I need to use shaving cream to get a completely smooth feel but I probably need to change my blade too

It gets 99% of it tho

Concealer hides the really hard to get stuff anyway

[bronze ocean]

getting good shaving tools is so important ngl

like single bladed razors, shaving soap instead of cream, using a good aftershave and all that

[west anchor]

I thought aftershave was just fancy deodorant

[bronze ocean]

not at all nah

[west anchor]

I think my shaving cream is like multifunctional tbf

[bronze ocean]

aftershave should help close your hair follicles and soothe (micro)cuts which will prevent irritation and redness

[bronze ocean]

yeee a lot of creams are pretty good nowadays but as someone with sensitive skin and really tough facial hair i've really had to figure out how to get the most out of shaving lol

[west anchor]

Gillette fusion

Its moisturising as well so IG that's why I never needed AS

The cheap shaving cream is cheeks tho

I bought superdrugs own brand and it barely worked

I got the Gillette one originally as a gift from someone I'm not out to

Funny enough

Only cream I used now

Works wonders everywhere

I'm not a shill for big shaving to be clear

Cus I keep saying brand names XD

[tawny tree]

hohoho i put on kajal for the first time

[tawny tree]

great rec, will probably buy one now :)

[elder saffron]

Something that helps me is exfoliating before shaving

Less blades can also help too like I use one that only has 3 blades cause anything that has more destroys my skin

I REEAALLLLY loved the safety razor I had cause its a single blade but it started to piss me off cause the handle part that you twist to take the blade out wasnt wanting to open cause of water getting into it so I just gave up on those

[open knoll]

OH YEAH! exfoliating before shaving is always a good thing

dead skin cells cleared -> smoother shave

[west anchor]

the battery lasts for ages its great

[random flax]

ooh i have the ep on bc

i forgot shaving was like

a thing people do

being able 2 stop feeling the pressure of having 2 shave because i came out as trans and since im not a girl i don't need 2 shave EVER

wait i phrased my message weird lemme

Shaving in general is always optional i never liked it but im sure it brings u guys gender euphoria like how the opposite brings me gender euphoria

just be wary that the blades go out pretty quick on it
i also usually have to do a regular shave as well so it depends

[spring lynx]

oh i was talking about just face but yeah
its kinda pricey

gonna start my laser removal thing up again later today since i have the braun one for home use
facial hair is a fuck

[tawny tree]

sounds awesome

the laser thingy

did you buy it?

i have a friend that rents stuff like this from time to time

[spring lynx]

yeah it

wasnt a responsible purchase but highly recommend saving for one

[tawny tree]

i was thinking about doing electrolysis

but that's expensive as shit too

maybe the braun laser is the way to go

I ideally want no facial and body hair at all

...

[spring lynx]

ive used it a couple times and it helped out a ton, thinned it out pretty well after a couple uses
recommended is like 4-12 weeks once a week and i only used it for a week or two

[tawny tree]

is it painful?

[spring lynx]

it depends. you can adjust the setting to be higher or lower depending on your pain tolerance. there's also a sensitive skin option.
its more startling than anything honestly

like a very light rubber band snap sensation

[tawny tree]

thats fine

so there really is no reason to go to a place that does laser hair removal, is there?

[spring lynx]

the only issue is that it depends on skin tone and hair color

[tawny tree]

if you can just get the braun thing

im pale as fuck and have gold-brown to red hair

[spring lynx]

so if you have blond body hair and/or a darker skin tone it might not work at all

[tawny tree]

ooh even if your blonde?

i thought only dark hair is difficult

[spring lynx]

it might work
i think braun has a hair color thing on their website to get a general idea for how effective it is

[tawny tree]

incredibly useful tip

thanks so much

[spring lynx]

no worries ^-^

[tawny tree]

u always have great advice

thanks, i mean it :D

[random flax]

yeah basically

[random flax]

that is so fucking cute

maybe one day i'll have smthn like that and hate my deadname a lot less

[left rivet]

Do you guys have to "break into" using new pronouns or does it just feel natural?

[elder saffron]

It was natural to me

The only thing I kinda had to get used to was people using my chosen name

Which I've changed since then so the 2nd time around honestly felt more natural to me since I got by the name I originally wanted to

(was with a girl that didn't want me going by a certain name cause it upset her so I felt like I had to go with my second choice to keep her happy)

[bronze ocean]

it's kinda the opposite where i forget i use she/her pronouns because so many people use it/its lmfao

[solid oasis]

I’ve never been somewhere where sm ppl use ‘it’ lol

My ppl

[solid oasis]

oh Wait you mean for urself I assume

[tawny tree]

in german many things like professions are gendered. And even many cis women use the "default male gendered one"

It's like police man and police woman, for example

so yeah im struggling a bit

[frosty sky]

When i was taking german classes in brick and mortar

HOLY SHIT

EVERYTHING IS GENDER

[tawny tree]

yeah, shit sucks

gender neutral pronouns also aren't a thing really

at least not commonly used

no "they" equivalent

it sucks

i usually choose to use more words so i can use "person"

[tawny tree]

lots of European languages are like this and I hate it

our shackles also take the form of words, after all

[frosty sky]

definitely the reason why japanese is superior LOOL

Basically there is over 2000 words and is just nothing but art 0_0

or is that hieroglyphs?

[tawny tree]

I don't speak japanese so I can't really say anything about that lol

[frosty sky]

im studying right now

[tawny tree]

but i prefer the simplicity of regular English, at least for gender

but no language is perfect

[frosty sky]

foreal lmao

if i speak japanese i might lose the ability to pronounce english some day

NO PROBUREMU

[tawny tree]

Which makes the people that refuse to accept that language is always evolving more annoying

maybe, do you intend to move to japan?

maybe you will be a grandma in Japan who forgot her native language

lowkey goals

[carmine cobalt]

i feel like i had to get used to it, esp with they/them i sometimes forgot that people were referring to me when i first started using them. but then it got natural pretty quickly

[random flax]

that seems like a red flag tbh

[elder saffron]

Well, at the time I didn't realize that lol

[random flax]

ooh wait this was a past thing

[elder saffron]

Yeeeeee

[random flax]

glad ur out of that situation twin

[solid oasis]

thay tham

[elder saffron]

Was with them for almost 10 years then in my journey to take back my life I decided I could change my name to what I really wanted and it was a lot of fun cause they had to deal with it since we both worked together at the same job lmao

[random flax]

ooohh

[tawny tree]

sounds tough but also happy you found your way

[elder saffron]

Mhm been in a much much better relationship for almost 3 years now with my gf who is also trans and it's honestly really nice being with someone who actually knows what it's like lol

[tawny tree]

awesome!!!

happy for you

[elder saffron]

No shade to any cis people but I can see why so many trans people end up being t4t

[tawny tree]

there is a reason a lot of people are t4t

yeah lol

[spring lynx]

im not intentionally t4t but my track record is now t4t lmao

[tawny tree]

yeah it makes sense

the world we live in doesn't make it easy

but a lot of my cis friends have been talking about gender between themselves and recognize that things arent as simple or binary

so the world is growing

[spring lynx]

this might just be a texas moment but i
am more accepted at fucking chick fil a than any professional environment relevant to my uni degree, lmao

its crazy

[tawny tree]

that's pretty funny

I've never been to the states so I can't imagine what it's like

Do you mean working at chick fil a? or just being there

[spring lynx]

yes

both

[tawny tree]

very interesting

but it also makes sense

[spring lynx]

im just a chao in this chaochipper of a world

[tawny tree]

i'm kinda poor, and from my experience the people in "lower income" jobs and environments have the potential to be very chill and open

but i also live in berlin

which is very queer and woke comparatively

[spring lynx]

yeah like theyre hella religious but theyre also accepting which is
nice to see since im used to the batshit evangelical types

[spring lynx]

this is true

[tawny tree]

Oh that's nice to hear

refreshing

Also people in richer communities tend to keep to themselves. A lot of prople who have visibly more money are usually open but just never really interacted with trans prople

but ofc assholes can be everywhere

hate and phobia is like a disease

[spring lynx]

🙂‍↕️

[tawny tree]

i think it's very funny how you can tell when someones attitude changes

a lot of people are uncomfortable around trans people

but then ober time they really manage to tackle that internalized way of thinking

"wait they are actually chill??"

and then there are the ignorant ones where you can just TELL that they are really uncomfortable

Often times they have low self esteem themselves

so I just always try to be friendly, breaking the ice and all that

hiding doesn't help anyone

[tawny tree]

have you ever been to Berlin?

or do you mean that the states aren't as accepting

[spring lynx]

naur, but what ive seen and heard of it seems more accepting than a lot of the us

[tawny tree]

Is the religious part a big contributor to the non-acceptance in the us?

[spring lynx]

it can be, it depends

bc you have bible thumpers that havent read much of it that hate lgbt people and then you have some that are just hateful

[tawny tree]

Religion isn't that engrained in the culture here. A lot of the values are still based on christian ones, but not that many people are talking about it

[tawny tree]

yeah i understand

[spring lynx]

i think a lot of it here is moreso the politics and messaging against lgbt people rather than the religious themselves, if that makes sense

[tawny tree]

shoutouts to all the LGBTQ friendly pastors out there

[tawny tree]

oh yeah, especially recently

europe isn't spared either

US influence aside

Does it feel like the religion is used as a vehicle or "scapegoat" for certain political groups to push hateful beliefs?

[solid oasis]

wont forgive christianity for what they did to the pictish beast

[tawny tree]

ik trump is always taking about god

or his servants

[spring lynx]

usually thats the way it goes, yeah

esp in smaller towns

[tawny tree]

what's that

[tawny tree]

sad to hear that

[tawny tree]

but we will win

love wins

[tawny tree]

that's goated wtf

[spring lynx]

oh theres also the whole thing abt the christian god being closer to a literal demon than most bc of the "dont use the lords name in vain" deal

[solid oasis]

eventually dissolved by christian colonization n whatnot basically

[tawny tree]

many such cases

[solid oasis]

YEA even then the term "lord" was an intentional distortion in the writing (in some version) to make people bow to thse in power more

[tawny tree]

i always thought that was weird

[solid oasis]

Im not religious but like people also dont realize this text has been warped through history just to control people anyway

[tawny tree]

yeah

It's kinda tough to talk about this sometimes because I definitely do not want to come off as someone who dislikes religions

[spring lynx]

also highly recommend this channel for religious history stuff
https://youtu.be/3592DMH-eyM

[solid oasis]

https://youtu.be/Qf2SIu0k6ZI

[tawny tree]

thx

[solid oasis]

Last thing ill mention on the bible is also like theres so much text that goes against itself that people can pick and choose what they want to push I think

"read the bible" and then it contradicts itself hundreds of times

yea diff versions exist but its just like. im semi distracted help i just want to show off that site LOL

[tawny tree]

interesting

i might dive into this

and ask my christian trans friend lol

[solid oasis]

yeah theres a lot to crack open when it comes to this

[solid oasis]

Theres also a guy called Owen / telltale who's this ex jahovas witness and his channel is kinda based upon explaining the abuse that occurs in ties to Christianity and stuff, but im not sure if his content has degraded or not since the last time i've watched

On my end personally there's a lot of weird anger/grief because my moms side of the fam (specifically my gma) had been assimilated and sent over here/had everything stripped from her (native american/lakota in origin) and it caused this like. Generational abuse/trauma sort of shit that I myself am trying to break out of. It's insane to get into though, my own mom is like insanely obsessed w/Christianity and uhh I cannot stand her.
Im also not trying to be like those people who are visibly white and trying to claim they're largely native; but it'd also be wrong to deny that any of that impacted on my entire life experience with the instability I was born into

If i was typing for awhile it was bcs theres a REALLY good video I had that broke down assimilation/colonization and I cant find it (": It explains how its still very prevalent today

[spring lynx]

yeah jehovah's witnesses are their own rabbit hole and a half
similar category of abuse as flds iirc

[solid oasis]

yeaahh its a different thing on its own from christianity but he digs into the other stuff too is wim

FOUND

altogether not trans related but this is like yeah Good educational shit

[spring lynx]

yeah, the assimilation shit is fucked. i still remember learning about this in apush.
also to be clear, i dont intend to diminish the consequences of spanish/portuguese catholicism and british protestantism (to name a few examples) on the world at large

[solid oasis]

Oh nah you're good I assume most people arent; i kinda got into my own shit right here and missed a lot of the context of the convo im ngl

[spring lynx]

no worries ^-^

[west anchor]

Japan work culture is hell

Especially if you're an immigrant

Unless you work remote for a company away from Japan

Ie like a European company but the timezones gonna be messed probably

Great to visit I wouldn't live there unless a new government significantly changes things

Not trying to crush your dreams buts thems important things to know

Also gay marriage isn't recognized so I imagine trans rights aren't amazing

[solid oasis]

I think there’s an issue with idealizing Japan in that sense yea

Like uhhh

Basically what u said yes

Idk I hear people talk about it

[west anchor]

Anime has been amazing propaganda for the country for decades

[solid oasis]

Yeah 😭

[west anchor]

I only watch anime where Japan gets fucked over like NGE (joking to be clear)

I do remember watching a video a while ago how generally trans people are more accepted than the rest of the lgbt community in Asia including the middle east because in their eyes for gays for example they would rather someone transitions to a woman and dates a guy than if a guy dated another guy because in their eyes it maintains the status quo

The rights overall aren't amazing but its interesting to know the biases of nations

||Like they still won't do anything if u get hate crimed in parts of the middle east but you'll only be killed by the public instead of the government if ur a straight trans person||

They still ||castrate|| and shit tho so again still not amazing

Moving on

i was once t4t

but it failed after months

[random flax]

my current bf is. kind of cis

[random flax]

yeah most of my t4t relationships went down the shitter

[frosty sky]

gender makes orientation twice as hard

[random flax]

it's not even that really

[frosty sky]

the more gender, the more times harder it gets

[random flax]

it wasnt even the fact that they were trans, we just didnt mesh well

im sure there's t4t relationships that r going strong and amazingly

in my experience, no

wait other people basically brought up my exact points

[frosty sky]

The bl and gl manga is a trick ;(

[random flax]

uh

yeah

those arent written by queer people

[frosty sky]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhghhghgh

[random flax]

please don't tell me most of what you know about japan as a country is just from anime or something

[frosty sky]

no im a lil educated somewhat

[elder saffron]

The younger people in Japan are a little more progressive but a lot of Japan regardless of laws still have issues

[frosty sky]

I watch yt videos abt life in japan

[random flax]

i feel like you should educate yourself more, i mean this in the most respectful way possible

[random flax]

yeah that's a given

being queer in japan is not a fun experience but i'm sure you dont really gotta hear that from me

[frosty sky]

Like i know how everyone would like stare at me wildly if i walk in japan

[random flax]

i mean. i don't think that's true

[elder saffron]

I believe it was abroad in Japan that was talking about the topic of how same sex couples are treated and even though there are laws against discrimination when it comes to 2 people getting a hotel together there will still be people that will refuse to let you rent because of bigotry

[random flax]

most locals will prpbably just ignore you

[random flax]

yikes

[left rivet]

Doesnt it depend what area

[random flax]

probably

if we're talking like. big populated areas like tokyo, shibuya etc

[left rivet]

I think people in city area dont stare as much but idk about rural

[random flax]

yeah rural's a diff story

[frosty sky]

Like in terms of queerness im a bit low on that but like i gotta test yknow

[elder saffron]

Yeah but you'll still deal with xenophobia no matter what especially now after certain individuals

[random flax]

if you're trans psykohai this is. probably not the place you'd wanna move to

i understand what people mean when they say return to monke

if there’s ANYTHING that i learned in high school that stuck with me it’s that gender roles likely began in the neolithic era

i’ve been on T for five years.

[solid oasis]

Idr if it was light voice or them saying u have happy upbeat voice but I dont even remember rn tbh

I just remember thinkign "wait I didnt think they meant high pitched" but wasnt rly my place to say anything

I've only been on for 2/stopped abruptly mid-2025, I need to find that old vid example I had

In public i speak way more quietly so i sound more normal but with friends i get really high pitched

Sometimes im ok with it but sometimes im trying to be serious so i get annoyed at myself when i do that

[open knoll]

yeah it’s very normal to talk differently around other people depending on who they are and the situation

it’s been more than a year since i spoke to anyone as close friends tho

[grand hearth]

it’s the head voice vs chest voice thing

I’ve more or less made peace with the idea that I’ll always have a tendency to slip into a head voice for one reason or another

[solid oasis]

Oh?

[frosty sky]

i do that but with recording musik

My voice gets so deep i clock ppl so hard and shit so i say, No this is not kouhai's voice

[quartz parrot]

this is my voice.

[elder saffron]

God I get this so much. Anyone else I pull my voice off perfectly but then when I get comfortable around someone then I slowly start to drop it a little

Like it isn't to bad but its still a reduction in quality that I know I can fix if I'd just try more to change that habit

[left rivet]

Yeahh

I just trust my friends to not judge or anything

any of y'all got fashion advice for a thick bitch? most of the femme shit i've found ain't great

[frosty sky]

Your fit 100% needs to complement colors

that also includes accessories and footwear.

[magic verge]

my partner is transfem and over 6 foot/3-to-4XL in women's so i think i can help with this 🦐 not sure what sort of style you are trying to cultivate but there are some brands that offer clothes that fit bigger and taller girls while still being stylish. i buy the majority of my clothes secondhand on depop and you can sometimes find stuff on there in those sizes. my partner is of the gothier persuasion so some brands that offer things in their size are foxblood, forest ink, and killstar off the top of my head. i also highly recommend learning how to DIY (mainly sewing) as that allows you to modify clothing to fit you better and suit your personal style more :)

pickings for bigger femme folks in general are kind of slim, and that's not even regarding considerations that need to be made for transfems, so i totally get your frustration. it's going to take more effort for you vs. a straight-sized person to find things that will both fit you well and suit your style, but options do exist

oh, and if you haven't already, make sure you have your measurements on hand (bust, waist, hips, inseam, etc.) when you're looking for clothes and always look at size charts because women's sizing can vary wildly between brands for some inane reason

[grand hearth]

taking notes for my gf

[magic verge]

one last thing, when you're creating a wardrobe for yourself, i recommend trying to focus on "staples", or taking the "capsule wardrobe" approach. find pieces that are in a similar or complementary color scheme that are easily interchangeable in order to provide yourself with a bunch of different outfits without taking up too much closet space. so like, a handful of tops, a handful of bottoms, some outerwear, one or two pairs of shoes, etc. with considerations for changing seasons. this webpage goes more into depth :) https://wonder-wardrobe.com/blog/capsule-wardrobe

If there’s a gender-affirming clinic near you you should ask them. There’s one here that has a closet with free femme and masc clothes for trans individuals who might not have money to get affirming clothes

[solid oasis]

I tried to go to a dressing room separated by m/f today and I was like (both eyes go different directions) trying to think on "what im most seen as today" ended up ultimately going with f but got a weird look from the person who was tending that regardless

large sigh

Got some pants I wanted tho

[frosty sky]

you_tried

[open knoll]

i’m more androgynous leaning fem and always pick the men’s locker room even if there are gender neutral rooms and i’ve never gotten weird looks

maybe women’s locker rooms just in general are more sensitive to how someone presents? idk if that makes sense

[magic verge]

probably, womanhood is policed more and much of the current anti-trans legislation is meant to specifically target trans women

i also use the men's restroom and stuff without much issue

[solid oasis]

yeah its used as an entire big token of an argument rn

sucks

[solid oasis]

too bad they just tend to stink way more LOL

[magic verge]

ah yes. the 50/50 coinflip of whether or not some man is shitting his fucking brains out at the current moment

[spring lynx]

the men need a gut doc to check for sensitivities 🥀
its not supposed to be that rancid

[magic verge]

another coinflip for whether they remember to flush </3

[magic verge]

i am pro-going to the gastroenterologist

[solid oasis]

sometimes ill enter the mens bathroom to just immediatley leave bcs of The Stench and go to the womens' instead

[magic verge]

i often opt for a single-stall restroom if i can help it lol

[solid oasis]

Luv single stall restrooms

[magic verge]

my work has an accessible restroom that i usually go for (and i am multiply disabled so i prefer it for a number of reasons), and i will begrudgingly use the men's room otherwise

[solid oasis]

Tbh (at least in my experience) they're often more kept up/clean since everybody is using it

more mindfulness there or smth

[magic verge]

i have not had the issue of poop somehow being in the toilet or on the seat with the accessible restroom

men's room on the other hand

[lofty nacelle]

I’ve seen a geriatric collect a stool sample in a grocery bag and missed the bag

[magic verge]

aren't they supposed to give you collection hats for those 😭

grocery bag is wild

[lofty nacelle]

YEAH

THEY DO

[magic verge]

[lofty nacelle]

Yuppp

At the Walmart I work at too so it’s like a POPULATED one too

[solid oasis]

[solid oasis]

[lofty nacelle]

Thank yall:3

[magic verge]

need to shop for bras for my partner as she has reached the stage where running around is hurting her

[magic verge]

naw i think it's a valid complaint to have

something can be awesomesauce and also a lil cringe

duality of life

[solid oasis]

aw

weirdly i dont have sensitivity in mine at All like other ppl do ((also fcukign God I wish it was socially acceptable just to be Dude w Big Tits visually im getting TIRED of my ribs being crunched every day and I dont give myself enough prep time for tape--might change once i move and im situated, idk))

I used to not care about the rib constriction but it is getting to a point....

[magic verge]

i wish anybody could have boobs of any size 😔

[solid oasis]

I do a lot of phys work at my job too besides the front desk stuff but Yea

big true big true

[magic verge]

[solid oasis]

[solid oasis]

[magic verge]

yeaaa my best friend has been binding since middle-high school and his ribs are not having it

[lofty nacelle]

Bigots when androgynous but also boobs???

Impossible

[magic verge]

america explain

[solid oasis]

yeah 😭

[magic verge]

i am lucky enough to have already had a small bust and T has redistributed the fat so i can get away with binding most of the time </3 my heart goes out to all big booby tmascs

i wish we could swap parts

[solid oasis]

T kinda did that but i think it?? came back when i went off?? idek im permanently altered in some ways but also not as desired, i kind dont wanna be "fem or masc" i want to confuse ppl (: but ykykyk

[solid oasis]

would be great

[lofty nacelle]

My heart goes out to any of the tmascs that aren’t fucking insufferable like my brother(transition unrelated he’s just annoying af)

[magic verge]

real as fuck

[solid oasis]

When i move im evaluating seeing if i can get on t again but insurance is still gonna be a lot of uhh cost

[magic verge]

yeah unfortunately fat redistribution is reversible and dependent on what hormone is dominant in your body :(

[solid oasis]

fawkk

rn its a good 50/50 with what people assume, if they hear my voice they assume dude but visually it /can/ be fem.. sometimes. uhh idek i havent really tracked but it tends to be dude more now

[lofty nacelle]

I have a diy discord I could invite you to that’s p much a bunch of resources abt how and what to do if you wanna go down that route

[solid oasis]

funniest is when they assume "fem" but then correct themselves when i Talk

[solid oasis]

GIVE

[magic verge]

been doing my hrt thru my insurance but i have. diy stuff in my back pocket just in case. hellscape

[solid oasis]

actually no funniest is when they totally see me as a guy, for days to weeks/months, but as soon as they learn im afab its "she" even in front of others who "assume im a guy"

fun stuff

I need to learn to diy cus ins is way too expensive for meeee rnnnnnnn

[magic verge]

the awesome thing is that you can just bulk order everything

[solid oasis]

i like when trans ppl "she" me tho but it depend

[magic verge]

just a higher up front cost vs. insurance

cis people 👎

[solid oasis]

cis people 👎👎👎👎

[magic verge]

we need to bring the down with cis bus back

[solid oasis]

PLEASE

[magic verge]

have you considered creating an excel sheet to track this information

no reason in particular i just think it's funny to have quantifiable data

[solid oasis]

actually I should but I think ill do so in the daily journal of mine I have to help me stay organized every day lmaoo

[magic verge]

epic

[solid oasis]

some kind of tally system

[lofty nacelle]

Ok I had to request an invite link so depending on if they send it to my phone account or not it’s gonna be a bit sorry:3

[solid oasis]

No problme thank u

[lofty nacelle]

It’s no problem

[solid oasis]

Speaking of Ill always think it’s insane how cis is considered a genuine slur on Twitter as opposed to other things

Thanks elon

One of the things that made me leave tbh

(Sort of)

[spring lynx]

ngl, kinda related, my insta feed would give the median cis guy an aneurysm

[solid oasis]

Same

[frosty sky]

hot take: they want to keep the "valued" idea of women thats why they dont wanna allow trans women

sounds like a song lyric wtf

[magic verge]

yeah, obviously the sexgender binary exists as a power structure, and in order for it to be perceived as legitimate it needs to be enforced culturally and by the state. trans people as a whole threaten the idea that the sexgender binary is immutable and real, while trans women are devalued because they aren't capable of performing the woman-assigned labor of reproduction via giving birth

[frosty sky]

its all fun and games until i hop in the vc

people get shocked and say "thats a girl?????"

from now on ima look at people and say, "that's a living thing?"

Cant believe how your life is predetermined by your flesh. smh.

[magic verge]

that's why transphobes get pissed off by the idea that gender is a construct because to them that's just reality

it feels threatening to their basic worldview

[frosty sky]

if thats where we're living in im glad to see it shut down.

[magic verge]

nooo but how are we supposed to oppress people if there's no class of people to oppress???? /s

[frosty sky]

The sooner people have power over of their gender the more intelligent humans will be >:3

maybe powerful if intelligence isnt enough

Like Me. >:33333333333333

[frosty sky]

Its like the "Woke Mind Virus" but the opposite (idk the name for it)

Imagine the fight i'd be in if i used it against some really insecure mf

[open knoll]

they’re basically trying to enforce the toxic gender roles the bible speaks of in an era where that shouldn’t be relevant

see they’ll quote the bible only when it suits their agenda and forget that they would be against everything jesus stood for

[scenic falcon]

man...that new knives out made a good point against those evangelical culty christians...

[hallow bronze]

banger movie

might even be better than knives out 1

[left rivet]

For me im the opposite about gender

Im more concerned about societal expectations than how i look

[frosty sky]

i threw expectations away

a long time ago

mental weight dropped SIGNIFICANTLY

because expectations are overweight :(

[left rivet]

Yes😔
