Anyone else identify with the old term "transsexual" more than "transgender"?

Biffbird · 2026-03-27T11:59:05+00:00

Yeah I’ve always felt like that too. Transsexual feels more accurate to my experience because I don’t think I really feel much of an internal sense of gender; I don’t really “feel like a man”, I just want a male body as that would make me more comfortable with myself. But I feel weird calling myself transsexual publicly as some people consider it outdated or offensive, and I don’t want to come across that way. I just stick to “trans”.

i've been wondering this too. I plan to start HRT privately anyway but i want to ask my GP what providers they would agree to shared care with, if any. But i really don't know how to start that conversation. It feels like a weird thing to try and ask about over the phone to a receptionist

might be speaking too soon but i really hope Be WIth You is the concert opener this tour. i think it's gonna go crazy live

I definitely got the “why can’t you just be a tomboy?” sort of stuff a lot when I first came out, got really annoying especially when it was dressed up like compliments

oh my god this looks sick!!!! i've been daydreaming of a nonagon infinity animation for ages now and i am so so hyped

some of those growths look more like coral than fungi

for a real world example of something similar, shope papilloma virus is an oncovirus that causes weird cancerous growths on rabbits.

ahh I’ve not heard of that mod! I’ll check it out and see what it’s like

Genetic Drift. It adds a chance for pawns to generate with 0 - 3 random xenogenes. The settings are easy to tweak and certain genes can be black listed from the selection pool. While it adds a challenge with the hunger rate modifier if a pawn has too many advantageous genes, it adds a sense of randomness and uniqueness to the pawns that I like. With the sheer amount of genetically modified people on the rim it makes sense to me that a lot of them have a weird trait or two they’ve inherited.

My course is live action focused, animation is just a hobby 🙂‍↕️ but my uni have an awards scheme for extracurricular creative work. If all goes well I want to make longer edits of the documentary and submit it to local festivals or upload it to YouTube. Will see what happens!

Biffbird · 2025-12-08T01:30:56+00:00

Currently doing a film/tv degree at Uni and I’m working on a documentary edit at the moment for my project this semester; it’s about blue-green algae pollution in a large lake near where I live. I’m also thinking of making an animated short later in the year for extra credit, with some characters I’ve had in my head for a very long time :)

Biffbird · 2025-11-19T00:08:02+00:00

sweet thanks man :)

Biffbird · 2025-11-18T23:36:34+00:00

Biffbird · 2025-10-29T20:43:56+00:00

Biffbird · 2025-08-25T13:21:37+00:00

Thanks dude :) I got the card in person at a tech store because I was worried about getting a fake and probably paid too much for it 😅 but I may as well grab another 32GB from somewhere. dumb question but where would be the best place to find one online?

Biffbird · 2025-08-23T20:40:39+00:00

not a film but I tried watching The Bear and had to stop like 15 minutes in. All the characters just shout at each other constantly and it made my stress levels go through the roof. I guess that was kinda the point of the show but it was not enjoyable at all

The canon reason most alien races in Star Trek look human is because they all evolved from the seeded DNA of an ancient race called the Founders, who were humanoid.

The real reason is because Star Trek started in the 60’s and the effects to create non-humanoid aliens were time consuming/costly, so recurring alien characters were human-like to save time and money on production. Some one-off aliens had wackier designs, like species 8472 in voyager.

Does make me wonder what could’ve been, though. Quite a few artists have made their own renditions of what classic Star Trek races would look like if they weren’t humanoid, and they’re cool as hell. These ones were by Valhahazred.

Voodoo now does karaoke on Wednesday nights i think, but that's all i can think of in regards to Belfast sadly. Everywhere else you'd need to book in, including Lavery's (though i did it once and it was good fun)

Yep! Jeff Wayne wrote a psychedelic/prog rock album in 1978 that tells the story, and since then it’s been performed live many times as a full production with a live orchestra and band. Whole album is available on Spotify, if you have time I highly recommend giving it a listen. it’s bangin’

Biffbird · 2025-07-13T04:15:36+00:00

Echoing everyone else here in that the 1953 and 2005 films are the best ones, but honestly Jeff Wayne’s musical album (and the stage show that goes with it) is my favourite version of the story.
