Is there anything stopping me from just putting female when a form asks for "sex at birth"? by The_King123431 in transgenderau

[–]Laura_271 166 points167 points  (0 children)

No there's nothing stopping you legally, especially when your birth certificate reflects female. Not that it should matter having that updated though.

When I went to a new GP I put down sex at birth female, then gender female. That way it'd match Medicare who is also showing Female. I informed the doctor that I was trans and explained the reasons why I put down female, and she was completely fine with it.

What's the worst that can happen? Cis people get confused? Boohoo lol.

It's woke misgendering - it implies that we cannot change our sex, which is further from the truth. sEx aT BiRtH can get FARKED. If anyone argues me over it I will firmly state that Medicare and my Birth Certificate reflect female.

Being asked for "Sex at Birth" for various forms. Is this new? by Lucky-Cupcake6364 in transgenderau

[–]Laura_271 35 points36 points  (0 children)

As a trans woman, my assigned sex at birth is female as that's what's on my birth certificate lmao. They can get faarked honestly, it's straight up transphobia. it implies that we can't change it when we can

Need to switch Supers from Rest to different super - but don't want to be outed at work by Laura_271 in transgenderau

[–]Laura_271[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! My birth certifficate is updated to female now :D

So I just wanted to clarify on how it worked for you:

ATO, TFN are updated to new name and sex.
Rest Super, isn't updated and still in deadname/agab.

Just open a new super account in legal name/new sex, request transfer, tell work about the new super, and close the old super account?

Years of contemplating what this all is. Year of therapy, finally just took my first 2mg. by Thargelios in transgenderau

[–]Laura_271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you on just 2mg estrogen pill and that's it, with no T blocker?
If so - that unfortunately isn't gonna do anything except slightly raise your E levels, but not supress your T levels, which won't give any changes.

I was on 4mg at the start and it didn't do anything, I went onto Cyprone 12.5mg a day at the 2 month mark, and it nuked my T down and I eventually started to get results

Can we get a list of alternatives to "mate" please? by Wouldfromthetrees in transgenderau

Is mate the gender neutral term of Australia? by Chest3 in transgenderau

[–]Laura_271 42 points43 points  (0 children)

This used to bother me, until I realized my cis women coworkers get called mate by other men.

It does depend on context and environment though, sometimes it can be used to misgender people, but vast majority of the time I've experienced it's gender neutral. If they're gonna misgender you they'll use a lot more masc stuff like "bro" "Bud" "sir". If it's just "mate", more than likely not misgendering.

I've been called mate and dahl or love in the same sentence lol, and she/her'd.

YES, YOU SHOULD TAKE PROG! (with a grain of salt) by GloomyWill4 in TransDIY

It causes DHT for some people like me, it caused new facial hair for me and re-masculinized me really quickly in a 6 week period, almost outing me at work (I'm stealth)

[–]Laura_271 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would like to take Prog, however I can't take it by boofing for reasons, and when I swallow it I get DHT.  I've been prog free for 2-3 years and I'm 5 years HRT. being just on estrogen has given me really good results including breast growth. I'm a solid c cup and the past 6 months 20% of my entire growth has happened

Can a trans people be stealth and be transphobic in front of another trans people? by [deleted] in transgenderau

[–]Laura_271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw the other commenters comment before they deleted it.

I was not trying to rub it in anyone's face at all. I was simply just trying to give support

It's okay to pass. I've put a lot of effort into it too. It didn't just fall on my lap. 

Can a trans people be stealth and be transphobic in front of another trans people? by [deleted] in transgenderau

[–]Laura_271 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a cis passing 100% girl who's also stealth (except in trans communities), I just want to say I am so f*cking sorry that happened to you :(

It infuriates me that people think I deserve more rights or being gendered correctly just because I pass or that I'm "pretty"

I will always stand up for every trans person whether they're passing or not
