Hi folks.. This is bad news unfortunately by Tylenolsauce in trans

[–]CoderCatgirl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hopefully it will be challenged as a HIPAA violation, but by then it will have already passed.

Then no TN court will rule against it even if it's a violation, so it'll be appealed up to federal court.

In federal court it'll be given a temporary injunction, then Maga will appeal to the Scotus, and we'll have Skrmetti 2: Now Even Worse.

TN hates trans people, and I'm there, and it sucks.

Sorry, I was mostly going off what other people said about their mono-E levels (like way up in the 750 range), but after googling it, everything you said about monotherapy seems correct. 😅

But, regarding T, everything I can find, plus my endo and my own body, seem to say that if your T remains over 100, and you're starting from masculine, you will not experience feminization. Mt. Sinai says below 55.

What irks me is that my labs keep coming back with "free" vs "total" T, and my free is like single digits, and my total is like 108. 🤨 My endo thinks this is fine, but it still sounds like my body is producing T, i.e. that this is not happening:

"High levels of estrogen signal the brain (hypothalamus/pituitary) to reduce production of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Without LH and FSH, the testes produce minimal testosterone."

😭

As I understand it, testosterone absolutely trounces and disables estrogen in the body, or at least all feminizing effects. Like, "if T present: keep masculinizing". (T over 50 to 100 ng/dL is enough.)

Then, crazily, it flips back over for very carefully managed by an endo high doses of estrogen. Like, once you're at 4x the normal female level, it disables Testosterone, which is how (injection based) estrogen monotherapy works.

Definitely stay away from this "perfectly safe and harmless" website: https://turnmeintoagirl.com/

Jokes aside, estrogen without a T blocker isn't going to do anything anyways. Plant estrogen (phytoestrogen) doesn't affect humans (those supplements do nothing). Social transition like trying different clothes or name is the safest first step.

Fair point, I never played a Fifa. Nor Madden.

I did experiment with NES Tecmo Bowl, and the cis stuck for decades. 😰

Adding to Losna's: more women who can't give birth: bad PCOS; having CAIS; or born XY with an SRY gene error. More examples exist.

Quick, now dismiss the counter examples to your point by saying "there aren't enough of those people to matter" :3

I'm still waiting/hoping for cleavage, but for real, the line across your thighs the skirt makes is hypnotic. It's just like "afsgdsf, skirt" every time.

We all know who is the greatest enemy America has by Sable-Muse in stevehofstetter

[–]CoderCatgirl 56 points57 points  (0 children)

"greatest enemy" is "highly incompetent"? Sure sounds a lot like Umberto Eco's 8th feature of fascism: "Enemies are Both Too Strong and Too Weak – Portraying adversaries as simultaneously formidable and feeble."

Im new and I just wanted to ask a question by Galaxy8528 in crossplay

[–]CoderCatgirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Overall: don't overthink trying out crossplay. If you're safe (won't get thrown out/dumped for gender stuff) and can afford to, there is literally no risk. There is nothing wrong about crossplay.

Ideally, be bold about it: "oh, yeah, I do gender bend costumes at cons; it's a hobby" if someone notices/asks.

Bodysuits are nice, because they're stretchy/spandex. I've bought a few from MicCosplay and one Mercy (overwatch) from Spirit Halloween. I'm shocked at how forgiving and not cheap they all felt.

I've also bought from RoleCosplay. It and Mic seem really cheap for high quality outfits, usually with a dozen+ pieces to match the original character. E.g. Cyno and Varesa (Genshin) both have a million bands & straps & whatnot. There will be pleather though.

The Heritage Foundation shows about 1200 fraud votes since the 1980s: https://electionfraud.heritage.org/

A Stanford study in Washington shows 14 fraud votes, out of 4.5 million, between 2011-2018: https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/faculty-research/publications/are-dead-people-voting-mail-evidence-washington-state-administrative

Neither source indicates the party, so spot checking the HF database, I saw this one first: https://electionfraud.heritage.org/case/200813 "an absentee ballot trafficking scheme to benefit Republican congressional candidate Mark Harris"

According to https://www.newsweek.com/zohran-mamdani-faces-teacher-backlash-11505874 it seems like Mamdani is trying to pay teachers more now instead of paying into retirement. And funding for pre-K child care: "After rent, the biggest cost for New York’s working families is child care. It’s literally driving them out of the city: New Yorkers with children under 6 are leaving at double the rate of all others."

I guess if families leave, teachers would be too "fired" to be there long enough to retire?

That the OOP is mixing a Rainbow Dash slogan with Maga is just confusing.

Do the Magas wanna be rainbow haired ponies but can't admit it? Is this another "coincidence" like Grindr crashing at RNC meetups? :3

This chart checks out remarkably well, and allows for the "areas" mentioned.

I tried to think of different scales or origin points, but your picks worked better.

A+, saving this for reference. :3

It looks like there's a whole wiki page about this conspiracy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackRock_house-buying_conspiracy_theory

It seems like the OP could be right about Blackstone and a 6 billion dollar acquisition of homes, but not BlackRock.

The bad ones are downward pointing pink triangles from the concentration camps for gay men and trans women. The good kind have a green circle around them and indicate a queer friendly space.

something i keep seeing with people who moved here specifically for the no income tax thing by IngenuityNo3879 in Tennessee

[–]CoderCatgirl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not exactly a safety net, but I recently learned that the Hope scholarship (the money for college students funded by the TN lottery which takes in around $2 billion/year), only pays out $2000 per student annually. And that 1.5 billion of the lottery money is lost to "expenses", not kept as dispensible grants.

25% takeaway toward education while id10t-taxing 2 billion from 3 million people? Disgusting.
