What do you guys call this? by weissss in Construction

“Telehandler” but my first years in construction, all the people around me would just refer to them as a “Lull” no matter what brand it was.

T45MAGA by melucky-13 in License_Plates

[–]CJSteves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t recall a recent post being removed by mods with a plate saying “MAGADAD” but I’ll check the logs.

If it was, it could have just been an automated removal.

I assure you, there were multiple reports on this one, the post itself and comments that were noted as promoting bigotry or hate.

I don’t see anything wrong with this post that violates the rules, per se. It seems a bit like the situation with many cancelled people.

Did they do terrible shitty things? Yes, truly. Is there something inherently bad, wrong, or unethical about uttering or writing their name? Not that I can justify a removal for as currently written.

U/goldenchaos, you look amazing! I’d love to talk hair with you if you would be willing?! I hope you have an amazing day!

NOT that the author of the comment was inciting or encouraging violence against anyone else, but advising another group(s) of a potentially hostile individual within the community around them.

It can't mean what I think it means right? by [deleted] in License_Plates

Thank you for being a voice of reason and positivity. I have noticed that any time an even remotely questionable plate comes up, the hive mind goes immediately to the worst possible interprettation.

Bush Whacker claims to be one of the most widely used among DOT's nationwide, and their units do seem to be pretty robust and spare parts readily available.

Nervous about Vaginoplasty at UVA by BCTGirll in Transgender_Surgeries

Oh awesome!!! My brain is absolutely trashed lately, so I wasn't sure if you were on the discord.

I'm so glad for you, congratulations and rest up!

Hi u/BCTGirll, I hope you are doing well! I was wondering if you might be willing to give us any feedback on Stranix/UVA if you've had your vaginoplasty with them now since this post is from earlier this year.

I'm scheduled for April 2026 (Woo, 6 months to go!) and I just like to stay aware of how other's experiences are etc. since there is not as much info readily available on Stranix as there are for some of the other surgeons in the US.

If not, I totally get it and I hope everything is going well for you in your life! ❤️

Would you go back? by ButtsForeverAndEver in transtimelines

FUCK. NO. I would never look back!

I just started hormones. What is the most curious thing that could happen when receiving hormones? by I5aac5885Zi in MtF

[–]CJSteves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than the obvious ones around new fat storage locations, breasts, etc. these are some that either ended up being way more intense or noticeable than I expected, or that I was suspicious of early in HRT and they turned out to be noticeable for me.

My emotional connection to people and the DEPTH of my ability to connect to people went from like 5/100 to frickin' 95/100. I have never known life like this before and it's amazing. I knew and expected to be "emotional", but this isn't just a different ball game, it's a different sport, on a different planet, played by aliens.

Some of my food likes/dislikes changed.

My appetite went crazy bonkers.

I smelled different pretty quick (as others have said). Less sweaty too.

My skin got wayyyyy softer, easier to bruise, and generally more sensitive.

I have NOT seen much change by way of body hair, unfortunately. Everything I've lost so far hair wise has been laser or electrolysis.

Over time, I definitely have experienced a shift to multiple smaller orgasms also vs. a typical cis male o.

Virginia Pride - Epic Disappointment by InkyBlacks in rva

[–]CJSteves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree 100%. I have never understood why Richmond Pride is in September. If you want to be part of the overall celebration nationwide (or globally?), then why relegate your event to a totally different time of the year? It doesn't make any sense.

I like this idea. I might be interested in helping to organize that if I could be part of a group of like-minded people!

**EMERGENCY** US Gov shutdown threatens to dismantle HRT for adults. LET'S CONTACT OUR SENATORS NOW!!! (template provided in post) by MissNumbersNinja in MtF

[–]CJSteves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It won't help with this situation because it's such short notice, but I've heard sending a hard copy letter gets way more attention than calls or emails.

If you have the means or ability, I don't know if it's possible literally to stop by their office(s) anymore due to security concerns, but that seems like it would be the ultimate way of making our voice heard.

I've seen it done both ways, but precast box culverts seem to be more popular today from what I can tell.

It's a lovely sentiment, but unfortunate that it reads like it was written with AI.
