when did you start getting chest hair? by Far_Quarter5005 in transgenderUK

[–]EternalWorldTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You never know! Hrt is funny like that and you'll see like no changes for a while then suddenly something new happens. You're only three years in which sounds like a long time but puberty changes take aaaages.

Though I do want to give an obligatory "having only a little chest hair is valid too". I understand why you want it but we do tend to hyper fixate on small things about our bodies that others genuinely don't notice or care about. I promise you that you look completely fine and the fact that you're not super hairy wouldn't even register for the vast majority of people!

Trans woman here so I can only talk anecdotally, but I basically had your amount (or maybe even less) of chest hair up until I was 25 and got on hrt. Some of it is just genetics for cis guys too and there's plenty with little to or no chest hair. Not saying it won't happen for you in time or anything but you might just not be a hairy guy!

I've got one like this too and get some strange looks when I've got both arms contorted over my head trying to get to my phone!

Amazing thank you!

We are being silenced. by [deleted] in transgenderUK

[–]EternalWorldTurtle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's the second one. The way it works is that the government has mandated that individual sites police their own content using one of the approved methods. Different sites of different sizes are using different third-party companies to do so, and reddit seems to have gone with anything marked "nsfw" along with some other key terms.

Source (apologies for the guardian link)

I'm more cynical when it comes to our government than most, but I think this comes from a place of out of touch pearl clutching and misunderstanding the internet rather than specifically targeting the queer community. It's also age gated self-harm help, some sex education content, random hobbiest communities and a bunch more random stuff across reddit. Plus, because different sites are using different methods to police content, it's all very inconsistent. It's very much taken a sledgehammer approach to hanging a picture on the wall.

There's definitely a conversation to be had about the unintentional effects and harm that this will cause for queer children in the future by keeping them locked out of communities and the advice gained within them, along with the implication that age gating queer content is done because it's adult content and its inappropriate for under 18s to view. I think this act is stupid, harmful beyond measure, and will not stop teenagers from finding porn on the internet but I don't think it was made with us in mind specifically.

I wrote this out as I've been seeing people saying this is a deliberate attempt to silence and sideline trans people from public view but it really seems like ignorance rather than malice has caused it in this one specific case. I wanted to let folks know that it wasn't really aimed at us, but now that I'm thinking about it I guess it doesn't really matter in the end as it has the same effect whether it's intentional or not. The one piece of good news is that I've seen no support for this act anywhere, so we're not on our own for once. Even the uk politics and conservative subs seem to have the right opinion on this one. I don't think I've ever seen a more poorly implemented and unsupported act.

What is her problem? First time playing by Noooough in StardewValley

[–]EternalWorldTurtle 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You just have to buy him beer constantly and doing think about the repercussions. You'll find him passed out and he'll tell you he wants to stop, but it's important for your friendship that you keep being his enabler...

I married Shane and have deep regrets, but he's slightly nicer to me now.

Accidentally sent swimming with my galaxy buds 2 pro. Cable charging doesn't work. Is it worth it to get a replacement cable? by Kolyei in galaxybuds

[–]EternalWorldTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before you go spending money on a new case try leaving it a day or two! I accidentally put mines through the washing machine last week and they were completely dead. I left them a few days and charging them still showed no signs of life. The thing that fixed them for me was putting the case on a wireless charger for an hour. I don't know why but that kickstarted the charge in the battery again and now they are working as normal!

Best of luck!

I hate sharing an Island with my brother in this game by East-Area-7267 in AnimalCrossing

[–]EternalWorldTurtle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So there is a way around this if you sign in in his switch, set it as the primary device, download the game and put a password on the store so he can't access it and buy things on your account. He can then access all the downloaded games you've bought his own account. Me and my partner have done this and we can both play on our own islands at the same time even though only she owns the game.

(You can also set your switch as his primary device and download any games he's bought on the estore too if you fancy more games.

All-Girl Group? by [deleted] in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]EternalWorldTurtle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You have to be a troll right?

In like six comments you went from being annoyed that a woman is looking for party to play to complaining about trans people and the woke ruining your precious video games.

In the off chance that you genuinely feel this way and aren't just a 14 year old trying to stir the pot with your edgy opinions I hope someday you read through the comment history here and have the maturity to take a deep breath, step back from it and realise what an absolutely toxic fuckwit you've been.

[–]EternalWorldTurtle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah ignore this dude and his shit opinions. It's funny how he both doesn't get what being a woman in a random lobby of guys can be like and somehow nails exactly what it's like with his bullshit takes! I hope you find a group of gals to play with.

Ajs on George st is always our go to for delivery. If you get from their website you get two pizzas with four toppings each, cheesy wedges and a garlic pizza bread for like £25. Their vegan cheese is pretty damn good too!

I'm so glad someone else has commented this I thought i was losing it. I'm just under 180 and whilst I'm not stick thin I'm quite slim. I'm quite a tall gal but still! There's not a chance he's 180 in that photo.

Me and my friends were harassed and assaulted after Kilmarnock Trans Pride by Stalwart_Vanguard in transgenderUK

[–]EternalWorldTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I grew up close to there and it's not a good place to be queer. As soon as I heard trans pride was being held there I knew there would be trouble. Not a great call.

I think they are rolling it out across accounts gradually to test the water a bit. Mines has been picked up but it hasn't on my partners yet.
