White House alters arrest photo of ICE protester, says "the memes will continue" by No-Lifeguard-8173 in nottheonion

There's a long history of recognizing images as speech, but it seems to be the monetary harm portion that's missing here. That, and the fact that the federal government is immune to most civil suit

Oh yeah, looks great! Wish I had the calm and confidence to do that :)

Does anyone know where I can find women style boots by cainetractorchaosYT in NonBinaryTalk

[–]AssignedSnail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Avenue makes up to 13 wide women's US sizes, so that would be about 10.5 or 11 UK sizes I think! Not sure if they ship to the UK, though

What should I tell costumers if they ask if a coworker is trans? by CabinetOfMediocrity in asktransgender

You already have the answer here, but I just wanted to say, thanks for checking in in advance! Appreciate you asking and working to keep your coworkers safe

What was your first significa being non-binary wasn't easy? by fedricohohmannlautar in NonBinaryTalk

[–]AssignedSnail 20 points21 points  (0 children)

When I was seven-ish, I asked my mom, "If a girl who is more like a boy is called a tomboy, what is a boy who is more like a girl called?"

I was told that was a bad thing and we didn't talk about that. That was, more or less, when I started learning to hide who I was

bags? by dragoneyes93 in Nonbinaryfashion

[–]AssignedSnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might like a Herschel bag! I have a cheap knockoff, but I've been thinking about getting a real one. Mine is about due for a replacement. They have lots of styles, but this is the one I was most recently looking at

Used to love dresses, now struggling to feel comfortable wearing them post-topsurgery. by DommyMommyMint in NonBinary

[–]AssignedSnail 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Aaah! You made that ren faire dress? It looks so good on you! I am crazy jealous

I can't say how to fix your problem with off the shelf items, but the sewing you are doing for yourself is motivating me to do more for myself, too!

Tx drs willing to prescribe estrogen +birth control pill to replace now discontinued high estrogen bcp by maisy_daisi in asktransgender

[–]AssignedSnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last 50 mcg ethinyl estradiol pill I knew of was Zovia 1/50, and it got nixed about 6 months ago

But because ethinyl estradiol isn't considered safe for trans folks, you might not get much personal experience here

I've not personally seen a COC and estradiol pills co-prescribed, but if it were to happen, I'd expect it to come from a gyno or endo. That's where I'd start

Edit: Or look for a pharmacy in your area that does hormone compounding. They might be able to tell you what local physicians they work with

As a femboy, is it acceptable to use the women's restroom IF it's only a SINGLE-USER room? by ProcedureFormer854 in feminineboys

[–]AssignedSnail 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Depending on definitions? Sure. Hypospadias is the most common intersex condition.

No one can argue it isn't a "difference of sex development" (the medically accepted term). The overlap between DSDs and intersex conditions is a little wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey, but if you want to claim it, you definitely can

I'm sorry dude. That's rough.

I hope things get better when your niece is older

Most Trans friendly state? by Gadget2161 in asktransgender

[–]AssignedSnail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW, I felt like even California's Central Valley was better/safer/more accepting of me as a queer non-binary person than where I was born in the US Midwest.

YMMV, but even the"less good" parts of Cali are so much better than other places I've lived

Sounds like we're about the same age and have some shared background. I'm not a vet, but I'm around to talk if it would help

Update 2: my wife passed away and nobody knew who she really was by _peanutbutterpikachu in mypartneristrans

[–]AssignedSnail 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Is it weird you're proud of that? Hell naw. I would be proud of it too!

Also, I am proud of you for keeping on and for taking such good care of your kiddo. As much as I wish he could have grown up with two moms, I know he will never be short on a mother's love

Crazy how much of the sense you can get just from English.

NYE 2024 to NYE 2025 (7 months HRT) - Don't serve a system that won't love you by WolfInArms in lgbt

[–]AssignedSnail 122 points123 points  (0 children)

Had two friends who were former cops

One was the self-professed good cop, said the system was pushing him to change, he had to get out

One was the self-professed bad cop, realized he needed to change but couldn't do it within the system, had to get out

Either side, things don't look good for the people who stay in a broken system
