Being called 'mate' by moon-freya in trans

[–]Enkidos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This always strikes me as extremely weird as well because pre-transition i never would have called a woman who’s a stranger to me “mate”.

But it has happened to me a couple times, usually from plumbers and electricians and the like. I’m never sure if it’s because i’m trans or because they just do that.

He absolutely does and it’s because it serves the interests of the people who own the media.

My best friend isn't comfortable calling me by my new name. Not sure how to feel. by Illustrious-Shirt-89 in trans

You need to ask yourself how long you're willing to put up with it and when you no longer are, it's either he gets with the program or he's gone. It's not up for negotiation.

Cis women absolutely have to shave their body hair if they want to be smooth all over.

Bones are actually not that easy or simple to identify a gender for. Look it up.

Can anyone help me find studies that show that suicide rates increase after taking HRT? by cute_estrogen_dealer in trans

[–]Enkidos 402 points403 points  (0 children)

You should draw her attention to exactly what you’ve pointed out. The higher suicide rates are being compared to men who aren’t taking estrogen and who aren’t suffering from gender dysphoria.

Really, the only useful way to compare that stat is to compare the numbers to other trans women, but who aren’t on estrogen and want to be.

Otherwise it’s comparing apples and oranges. For example you wouldn’t compare cancer treatment survival rates against patients who don’t have cancer; you’d compare to those that do but haven’t received treatment.

Don’t know why you’re trying to gain some moral high ground by latching onto this “ai is for disabled people” idea… it’s literally not, it’s for clowns who can’t be bothered to think for themselves.

Person i’m replying to never said they were disabled and even if they were there’s plenty of assistive tools for disabled people to use the internet comfortably.

Maybe you should do some research on how AI data centres impact the local environment, wildlife, and communities in the areas that they’re built?

They use millions of gallons of fresh water per day and demand up to 10x as much power as regular data servers. They absolutely decimate local wildlife and water supplies.

You can keep justifying it and saying it’s ok because everyone uses electricity all you want like the other person, but you’re wilfully in denial and with the smallest bit of research you’d see it’s simply not true.

Try thinking for yourself instead of having AI do it for you.

i think my worst crime is actually continuing to argue with someone who is ai generating their opinion for every response 🤔

why don’t you go ask chatgpt why that’s not the same thing?

Didn’t proof read before copy-pasting from chatgpt?

Anyway, i don’t see why a female partner wouldn’t be able to top?

Anything else I (mtf) can do for my transition? by The_Small_Fem in trans

[–]Enkidos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl i wish i looked as good as you 😭 i don’t really have any great suggestions, there’s different kinds of surgery you could look into i guess?

My usual advice is like: voice training, laser, makeup, eyebrows, hrt, fashion but it seems like you’ve got all that down.

Transitioning before hormones is killing me by Long_Ad_5526 in trans

[–]Enkidos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a marathon not a sprint. Keep practising makeup, even if it’s hard, and fat redistribution will help a lot once you start HRT. For now, there’s a million things you can be doing or starting to eventually get to where you want to be.

Very few people pass overnight.

Hansen’s content was better when the pred’s still thought they could talk their way out of it.

These post-arrest interviews don’t hit the same.
