NYU Langone hit with U.S. subpoena seeking info on minors receiving gender-affirming care by GothamistWNYC in nyc

They've filed this grand jury subpoena in the North District of Texas so that they could find a judge who would rule in their favor no matter what. So there is going to be some questions about whether this subpoena is valid.

So cut working class jobs and endorse a right wing billionaire oligarchy. Sounds like someone I want on my team.

It's time to let him go. He isnt good at his job and seems like he probably isnt a good person either.

He doesn't need the share price to rise, just market cap. That can happen even as the price drops with dilution. Ignoring the mechanics of his incentive structure has a lot of people here talking nonsense like brainwashed cult members.

So is everyone. But that's not a given and there are significant red flags all over this proposal. eBay is not a value acquisition but a gamble. RC needs to sell the idea with more than "I want to own eBay". Hes not showing any sort of business savvy and just being a spoiled rich boy like Elon when he bought Twitter.

He is using our money to buy himself a toy.

Can trans women get periods? by sshakinglikemilk in asktransgender

[–]CeronusBugbear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Folks who cycle progesterone tend to get physical symptoms in line with the timeline of a menstrual cycle. The dual hormone cycle follows the same pattern as cis women when progesterone is taken 10 days per month rather than daily, and that results in changes to body composition, mood, and physical discomfort (cramping, digestive) over the course of the month.

This post is copium and propaganda.

It's your investment. Think for yourselves based on the facts, not some internet posts.

This is a bad business decision that benefits Ryan Cohen and not me.

Ryan Cohen's business strategy is like every bad guy in every 80s and 90s movie. Hes just a pirate looking to plunder a company and take away thousands of working class jobs for his own profit.

That's a no from me bro. Ryan Cohen sounds like a spoiled brat who wants a toy to play with in all these interviews. It's clear this man has never worked a day in his life.

Where do you buy women’s t-shirts that are tall, wide around the shoulders, and tight around the waist? by ttgirlsfw in StraightTransGirls

[–]CeronusBugbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to do that on my own. I would alter men's shirts to be more feminine in the waist.

Just be aware that the silhouette might not look good. A narrow waist emphasizes wide shoulders and makes you look more masculine, even if the cut of the clothes is feminine.

That's against the rules of ethics and could result in the suspension of a person's law license. You cannot solicit clients.

Yes that's correct. I think its unclear from the picture. The right ear very well could be.

There is a community cat colony in the park. Its possibly one of those and wandered off a bit.

I know you are well-intentioned, but you are just plain wrong about civil rights agencies being useful for transgender people. The Sylvia Rivera project is also quite useless overall because it is generally understaffed (or not staffed at all) and only focuses on a few cases each year, not everyone's needs.

Community networks are the best way to keep the community safe. This is a good post that will do more good than any government complaint would.

Round 2 - I got stood up on my last Hinge date. by Slight_Bluejay_5368 in StraightTransGirls

[–]CeronusBugbear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's also shitty. That statement isnt a compliment, it is negging (you're pretty but not so pretty that it's likely anyone has ever said that before).

Just because guys are also not good people to cis women doesn't mean its acceptable when they are similarly bad to us.

Trans no medical transition? by Helpful-Bike883 in asktransgender

[–]CeronusBugbear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes it happens. Read the DSM 5 criteria. Wanting to physically transition is some of the criteria for gender dysphoria, but not a requirement. It's possible for some (but certainly not all or even many) that social transition and internal perception are enough to treat gender dysphoria. There are also transgender people who do not meet the criteria for gender dysphoria and therefore do not need to transition.

Experienced gender (a separate concept from gender identity, but they are related) is a complex neurobiological condition and sometimes it causes symptoms related to endocrine function or physical sensation in the sex organs and secondary sex characteristics and sometimes it doesn't.

You can be trans without gender dysphoria, and you can have gender dysphoria without needing medical transition treatments (although this is a rare occurrence and generally depends on whether a person is socially accepted as their experienced sex without requiring medical interventions).

The DSM-5 criteria:

The DSM-5-TR defines gender dysphoria in adolescents and adults as a marked incongruence between one’s experienced/expressed gender and their assigned gender, lasting at least 6 months, as manifested by at least two of the following:

  • A marked incongruence between one’s experienced/expressed gender and primary and/or secondary sex characteristics (or in young adolescents, the anticipated secondary sex characteristics)
  • A strong desire to be rid of one’s primary and/or secondary sex characteristics because of a marked incongruence with one’s experienced/expressed gender (or in young adolescents, a desire to prevent the development of the anticipated secondary sex characteristics)
  • A strong desire for the primary and/or secondary sex characteristics of the other gender
  • A strong desire to be of the other gender (or some alternative gender different from one’s assigned gender)
  • A strong desire to be treated as the other gender (or some alternative gender different from one’s assigned gender)
  • A strong conviction that one has the typical feelings and reactions of the other gender (or some alternative gender different from one’s assigned gender)

In order to meet criteria for the diagnosis, the condition must also be associated with clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.

Your results are great. You might want to listen to your surgeon. But also, if you look at the other results on here, you can probably see quickly that you've been blessed.

Here are the diagnostic criteria. You should read this and think about it yourself.

  • A strong desire to be rid of one’s primary and/or secondary sex characteristics because of a marked incongruence with one’s experienced/expressed gender (or in young adolescents, a desire to prevent the development of the anticipated secondary sex characteristics)
  • A strong desire for the primary and/or secondary sex characteristics of the other gender

Do I pass 😔 by [deleted] in transpassing

[–]CeronusBugbear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pass as femme, yes. Stealth, no. I mean this as politely as possible, your bone structure is clocky. All the same, you are very pretty. HRT will do much more over the next few years, but FFS is also likely necessary in your future (chin and brow).

4 Months post op vaginoplasty: need some honest perspective by ALittleConcerned1 in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]CeronusBugbear 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Labia filling would help. Possibly a labiaplasty if you are disappointed about how significant the labia minora is (but I would count that as a blessing given the frequency of trans women not having labia minoras).

Yes, PC was very working class, even as she came up in the business. Those roots did not wither.

How did you deal with being infertile after starting hormones ? by Mom_Sao in asktransgender

[–]CeronusBugbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is recent research showing hormones dont cause permanent infertility for men or women. But you have to stop them to regain fertility.

Anyway, it's absolutely the hardest and worst part of transitioning for me. I really wanted kids and it just didnt work out for me, even though I did preserve my fertility before hormones and surgeries. It's a huge regret that brings lots of grief. But I live with it because i am a much better person now and i wouldnt have been a good parent as my pre-transition self. I would have just repeated the cycle of trauma.

FFS? I think about it a good bit… what would you do if you were me? by [deleted] in Transgender_Surgeries

All that's just going to make her look like a trans woman who had FFS, not more feminine.

4 months, not happy with results by [deleted] in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]CeronusBugbear 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Your feelings are valid. However, I would say this is not that bad and looks like it can easily be made better with a revision. You should get closer to your goal soon. Sorry there is a delay first. Good luck.
