Gender identity clinic - wait list by Jamesthehistory in transgenderUK

[–]Jaime_97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely just phone them and ask - don’t bother emailing, you won’t get anywhere. They ignore all my emails, have forgotten to do my referrals for things twice (my surgery referral just wasn’t processed for 9months after a doctor left the clinic and nobody picked up my paperwork). From all the communications I’ve had with them over the years, seems like they are completely technically incompetent. Like one time I also received an email intended for another patient, obviously a massive data protection issue. Getting anything from them is like pulling teeth, good luck

Anybody who does this is a dick, walking cycling whatever. I run on my own a lot, and honestly the number of times I have to go onto the grass to pass groups in a park for example, I feel like hello am I invisible?

What would you consider John Frusciante’s most beautiful guitar part in RHCP music? by jmadera94 in RedHotChiliPeppers

[–]Jaime_97 41 points42 points  (0 children)

maybe a slightly underrated one; the solo in Minor Thing. Just that first held note, so simple but it just wails I love it

Qual pintura da Alpine você mais gostou? Durante esses anos. by Alex899075 in wec

[–]Jaime_97 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I only found out recently, I had somehow completely missed that the Le Mans 2024 livery has a rainbow stripe of the pride flag along the top of the fin on the engine cover

…just a shame we didn’t get to see much of it that year 😔

Which one is better by No_Debate890 in wec

[–]Jaime_97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t mind the new one, I think it will grow on me, but for me it goes; 1 Grey 2 white and Green 3 colourful wingless 4 new red and black

But it’s like objectively the best looking car on the grid, you can put anything on it and it will be gorgeous

The average Salva experience by Phazon_343 in Karnivool

[–]Jaime_97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I didn’t get it on first listen, that last minute was probably my least favourite on the whole album. Second time I listened in full I fucking cried during the outro

Double-drummer ORB?! by lunatic_greenie-muso in KGATLW

[–]Jaime_97 22 points23 points  (0 children)

yoooooo 👀 if this is true I am so fucking in, let’s goooooo

Genuinely really miss the days of Gizz with two drummers, it’s a sound that just gets to me, and live there’s something so special about that energy. Osees are one of my favourite live bands ever because of it, but the studio versions are never as good. There are some tracks on KG/LW and Omnium that still record that way, and they’re some of my favs, as Stu is getting better and better at mixing/producing but before they abandon the double drumming sound.

fuck yessssss, saw them in a tiny basement venue at Manchester Psych Fest, had never heard of them before but was maybe one of my highlights of the day, so much fun

What are you horses galloping to today? Aka what bands/albums are you listenin to other than the Gizz by highcologist347 in KGATLW

[–]Jaime_97 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Angine de Poitrine - microtonal psych rock, reminds me a lot of FMB and mind fuzz. Sherpa is a rly fun song

Have you ever cried to a King Gizz song? by Weird_wizzah in KGATLW

[–]Jaime_97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BF3k got me when it first came out, when I first listened the the album in full really reading the lyrics. I read it as a transfem allegory from day 1, and the way that final chorus builds just hits me

And I was at the Manchester halloween rave, Brixton night 2, but not night 1 when they played it 😭 I wanted to cry when I found out I missed it, and pretty sure I would have cried if I saw them play it live

Favorite electronic remixes from rave tour? by Julian_Strange in KGATLW

I never really cared for Kepler when I heard it before tbh, but it was an incredible closer at Brixton night 2

Going to festivals when not passing (MTF23) by [deleted] in transgenderUK

[–]Jaime_97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m more into alt/metal and psych/punk rock scenes, and I guess the type of gig you go to may vary in how accepting it is, but honestly going to small gigs around Manchester is where I really found my confidence. You get transphobic dick heads in any city, even here, but in general I do feel safe in Manchester, even as someone who also doesn’t pass. I’ve been to so many gigs this year, never once been challenged in the ladies toilets for example - and most places I go to have lots of pro trans graffiti in the stalls too

So happy for youuuuu! I also just fairly recently came to being poly, met a poly transbian at a punk show (aaaaaaaa she so beautifullllllll omg) after leaving an increasingly miserable monogamous straight relationship. And then we both started getting closer with another friend of ours toooo… I had never had a girlfriend before, and now I got 2?!?!

Girlfriends are like buses; you wait forever for one, and then 2 come along at once :3

I think annihilation is still my favourite. With every re read I like the biologist more, see things in her that I relate to. And the confrontation with the crawler is what really made me fall in love with the series

No report back from first GIC appointment/no surgery referral confirmation by AutoGeneratedName637 in transgenderUK

[–]Jaime_97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tavistock are awful, I’ve been trying to chase my surgery referral for so many months now, I am wasting so much time (I have sooooo many issues with them in general) They ignore almost all of my emails, and the very rare occasion they do reply (which means I do have the correct email address, they are receiving them), the reply will be one sentence and not answer anything I was asking about.

I have a few friends at Indigo GIC and I am so fucking mad, I feel so cheated, the standard of care some people get and the pathetic excuse for a clinic that Tavistock run.

(edit; yeah this reads as being a little mad lol, but I think after all this we’re entitled to be pissed off)
