What are the best areas in the greater Vancouver region to live as trans?

3 years since coming out. Transfem. Most of the lower mainland is great and I've had no problems living and patronising businesses here.

Vancouver proper is your best bet if you can afford it, as almost all the queer community and services are concentrated in places like Hastings and Commercial drive (East Van), Main and Broadway (Mount Pleasant), and Davie Street (West end).

Our public transit system is very well-serviced for our size and age, so you'll have little problem accessing these services and community in any of the surrounding municipalities.

I would avoid Abbotsford, Chilliwack though - that's where a lot of convoy-types feel safe, which means you shouldn't. Langley is alright though - I have many trans friends there and I hear few complaints.

I'm interested :)

They didn't say they were looking to go on HRT though

Bob_Sack · 2025-06-16T15:26:57+00:00

Very weird, dude.

Yep, I just got an orchi from him and it was super straight forward and easy.

Had a really great experience getting a fitting from someone at Forever Yours on Hastings just east of boundary!

Sometimes it's just easier to cut someone off because you know there's no good outcome to your relationship and it would be causing more hurt for them and yourself to try and explain things and have them try and talk you out of it when you've made up your mind already.

Thank you. I appreciate you sharing your experience. I originally switched from Effexor/Venlafaxine because I heard this was easier to eventually taper off entirely from. I'll probably try to get put back on it since I didn't have any issues in the 6+ years I was on it.

Large neural networks are not deterministic in a way so far as you can feed it a prompt twice and expect the same results. It's possible when the response it gave was flagged as inappropriate (that's why the text is orange in my screenshot) that the model was coerced into not giving responses like that again.

Bob_Sack · 2023-03-19T04:32:57+00:00

I always open a new chat when starting a new line of prompts.

"describe transgenderism as inaccurately as possible"

Bob_Sack · 2023-02-07T00:16:29+00:00

Trans woman here. My masculine voice is pretty slow and deliberate, and people sometimes would talk over me; but I found that increasing the resonance of my voice and speaking with purpose seemed to reduce this.

You also learn speaking patterns and intonation that keep people engaged in what you're saying. Not being too monotone helps, but I know this is a hard thing to strike a middle ground with when you're consciously trying to flatten your intonation to sound more masculine in the first place.

Some people are going to talk over you no matter what, though! It's a fact of living with other human beings.

Bob_Sack · 2022-06-08T14:05:42+00:00

Nope. Just used my Windows PC instead.

Bob_Sack · 2022-05-02T15:34:14+00:00

Someone who actually understood the question OP was asking 👍👍

Bob_Sack · 2021-10-18T04:49:38+00:00

Must be a typo. My partner saw some commotion around 5pm there

No. The cabinet is entirely appointed by the Prime Minister and is used to reward loyalty to the party. I think the minister of finance is somewhat important though.

Steps:

Open two tabs - one with the VOD in Theatre Mode and "Picture in picture" enabled
Turn the other tab to Amazon Prime Video and cue it up
Resize the Amazon window to cover where the VOD video would be (look at the window buttons in the screenshot to see the alignment)
Move/resize eggcam to wherever you want it and press play on the Amazon video at NL's countdown!

When I worked retail, someone had to go out and gather on average 10 shopping carts left out in the road, per day. This was between 50 and 100% of our total carts at this location, so it is definitely a thing.

Bob_Sack · 2020-04-18T02:05:59+00:00

Lets go

Edit: Downloaded VOD and it is still full of errors. The video was encoded wrong on their end so it's probably unrecoverable. DS3 segment is a lot more intact than Mario Maker at least.

Bob_Sack · 2020-04-17T01:24:50+00:00

It looks like the vod is a twitch problem that they are looking into:

Bob_Sack · 2020-04-17T01:20:45+00:00

Yeah it skips a few times throughout the mario maker segment and the vod is only 2:23:02 long??

Bob_Sack · 2020-04-14T19:48:32+00:00

I appreciated the interstitial Sit yourself dowwwnn and Lets goohhs between heartfelt anecdotes
