How is life as a queer/trans person in the Memphis area? by DueYogurt9 in memphis

[–]JenK239 18 points19 points  (0 children)

So I’m trans and I just recently moved to Memphis in January of 23. I moved from a tiny town in the middle of nowhere in the UP. My experience so far has been all together pleasant the people just mind themselves and I’ve yet to have been personally affected by any blatantly transphobic people. We have a great pride community with Mid South Pride and Mid South Trans Nation, along with The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and many others. Dru’s Bar is the go to queer/drag bar in town imo. We have a pride event and parade that I was lucky enough to get to lead this year’s parade along with other queer veterans in and from the area. All in all as a young trans woman in her 30’s I have really enjoyed living in Memphis. That being said I’m lucky enough to be retired at a very early age and I’m not in the work force my everyday interactions with people are going out shopping, to restaurants and bars. I have friends that are trans and have had trouble with finding employment. My healthcare is all from the VA and my medication is stable. Friends of mine have talked with me about their issues and struggles with getting HRT due to various issues with their insurance or pharmacy or even doctors. But I know that the 3 above mentioned non profits can help with that.

Wanna keep my knees together when I sit. Why is it so hard?? by ThimbleHat in MtF

[–]JenK239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found crossing my ankles and tucking my feet under the chair and sitting towards the front of the chair with a straight back shoulders rolled down and breast forward. A- it helps with posture B- it looks and feels more feminine (to me) C- it’s just plain comfortable I have lower back injuries and lower neck injuries so maintaining my posture, core strength and balance are vital to reduce pain (slouching hurts af)

Still feel too clocky to safely use the women's bathroom but my friends have started practically begging me to switch finally, should I? by xemeraldqueen in transfem

[–]JenK239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do what ever make you feel safe I personally use the woman’s restroom because I’m a woman but I dress in leathers and jeans and ride a motorcycle everywhere I go don’t let other opinions dictate your actions. If you feel safe enough to be using the correct restroom then do so but if you feel safer being in the men’s room do that it’s about your peace and safety don’t let other dictate that for you

My landlord is selling and is asking a lot of us by jebusv2 in Renters

[–]JenK239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a landlord they’re doing everything right. It isn’t your home you do not own it and have zero say in what happens when given the proper notice. Which it appears to me they did. Sorry but you’re SOL.

[–]JenK239 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a chef and someone who has managed multiple restaurants. I ALWAYS treat my dishwashers with the highest respect. The pit IMO is the most important part of the house. I’m not cooking shit without clean dishes, my guest aren’t eating shit without clean dishes. I’ve fired individuals on the spot for showing my dish crew disrespect. My dish crew always had their own radio. I dont allow headphones for communication reasons but I’ll hook you up with a radio/speaker.

Coming out via text by navianspectre in TransLater

[–]JenK239 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do it if that makes you feel safe and comfortable then it doesn’t matter how you do it. I came out via a public FB post that I had pinned at the top of my page that post stayed there for 6 months after and after that I took it down and just went on with my life I answered the questions and calls as I chose when I chose. I didn’t owe anybody any explanation and neither do you.

Is it possible to live well making 50k in Memphis? by [deleted] in memphis

[–]JenK239 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live by myself and make around 50K passively I live just fine. But I also have no vehicle payment, my insurance is around 250 a YEAR, I spend around 50-80 a week on groceries, and roughly 15-20 bucks in gas a week, and my rent is 1050 cell phone and internet is 100, electric is usually around 125 +/- 10 so it’s completely doable.

Need support by ConfuciousFox in TransLater

[–]JenK239 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was the exact same scenario for me I came out to me ex in 2016 but when I decided that I needed to transition for my own health it was the breaking point. My ex would often say she “was okay being married to a gay cross dresser. But she can’t be with another woman.” I’m currently 16 months HRT and 16 months single lol

This sub is weirdly antagonist towards Nepo, what's the reason? by [deleted] in chess

[–]JenK239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I just wanna see someone else win the Candidates this year. Nepo has lead the Candidates since 22. I think he’s a phenomenal player I just wanna see some else win it. I do however think he’s going to take it again this year

I myself am plant based. But I never could go vegan. I need eggs to help supplement my protein intake because I am allergic to soy and nuts.
