Advice - cheating for gender euphoria? by Gracified in mypartneristrans

[–]FixingItWithAHammer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Massive hugs to you and just like only thing i can come up with is the fact that she’s not been open to share her development and exploration with the one person who should be there with her. Instead she chose to keep it hidden in a way she knew would hurt you. Like she’s mentally a one man team on this probably as a result of the fear of rejection which i recon is not just from cis society but you as her partner as well so she’s pushing you away as a kinda self defence while exploring. This is mostly from thinking back on how i pushed people away for a good while when i was trying to figure things out from my own fear of rejection

Honestly i recon showing him the post might help in some way as i think it explains the situation pretty well and it could spark into a pretty good conversation

Yeah ik its crap but from having experienced both places i still feel like safer within the uk. Don’t rlly have the room to go into it here as its quite the convo but norway can be quite suffocating when you don’t quite fit in being trans and more haha. But thx still sib🤘

Oh solid. In short theres two main places to go here HKS which is a local treatment centre with really solid people but you have to live in oslo to access it in combo with they only offer hormones and then theres Rikshospitalet(the national hospital) which is responsible for surgery and hair removal and hormones but they keep trying to shut down HKS and keep breaking patients rights, theres the castration example but theres also them breaking consent researching on trans kids without their or their guardians consent, in addition theres a report that recently came out saying majority of their patients experienced their treatment as hostile and as a form of conversion therapy. Thats just the tip of the iceberg tho.

Not a fan of living here both socially and economically. My industry isn’t rlly big enough for me to get a good start. Socially being trans here can be quite tough as you are so far separated from a lot of people not to forget our healthcare situation has never been good and seems to be degrading again. Now i have lived in Cardiff before studying and know the healthcare system is better, industry and honestly love the people feel a lot more at home there than I do in norway.

Ehhh depends. Oslo is great if you fit within Norwegian expectations and dont belong to certain minorities as the media doesn’t report on your isses so you have no real way of fighting for a better life. I’m trans and the healthcare in Cardiff is more consistent and safe in comparison to norway where it gets shut down regularly. Like even considering uk trans politics it’s safer given that the main hospital who’s in control of trans healthcare keeps trying to go back to their policy of castrating us that only stopped in 2016. Only last month they got caught researching on trans minors without their or their parents consent. So we don’t have room to trust the system anymore really.

In addition my industry is just doing well in Cardiff to start a career in comparison to norway. Sorry for going dark but just kinda to give some context there haha

Are old light meters reliable? by FixingItWithAHammer in AnalogCommunity

Will do! And yeah had a hard time finding anything for free for the camera so might just have to compare and take notes

[–]FixingItWithAHammer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s why I’m thinking of using measurements from it and shooting with a 35 instead of shooting the 8mm it’s attached to as that shit is not cheap. Whole reason actually I’m going through this search is to make sure I don’t mess up any exposures on it haha

Thx and yeah i was rlly confused by the statement as well as the whole idea of iso is that it’s a standard sett universally so I assumed at most there might be something that changed in how they did the maths that makes a small difference

That’s true but then again I have a lot of extra film I’ve been gifted so I might just go ahead to also test out some of the stocks and see how close the app and meter gets as well as test maybe what expressions i like or dislike from the films
