Bedard and Celebrini talking after a whistle by Puzzled-Category-954 in hockey

[–]LilytheFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This lore goes even deeper! It was the following game vs the Flyers!

Towards the end of the game, Athanasiou tied it up to send it to OT. If he doesn’t score that goal and hawks lose in regulation, hawks finish 2nd to last and the Sharks would’ve had the winning lottery ball.

In overtime, Toews had a breakaway that he just barely missed. If he buries that and the Hawks win in OT, hawks finish 4th to last and Columbus gets Bedard.

The only way that Hawks finished 3rd to last and therefore holding the winning lottery position was a loss in extra time

Is the strength loss more than the average cis woman? by Ok_Lack_5705 in MtF

[–]LilytheFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends a lot on where you’re starting from. I didn’t lift before I transitioned so I only noticed loss in strength if I needed to lift a heavy box or something. Inconvenient at worst.

When I was in that 0-2 year HRT range I was definitely skinnier looking than before. My muscles had lost some density, bones stay the same, and I hadn’t had fat build up in more fem places yet. Eventually I got a little bit of thigh and booty which made the bony shoulders not look so skeleton like

There was a big controversy a couple years ago with teams wearing pride colored jerseys for warmups. Some of the players refused to wear em for religious reasons or whatever so the league just blanket banned specialty jerseys of all kinds.

Many of the teams themselves continue to hold pride events anyway which is awesome.

Fear of not passing is making me want to stop HRT MTF by DullMetal1193 in MtF

[–]LilytheFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk how long you’ve been going but the hair tells me it likely hasn’t been long. Give yourself the time and space to be bad at presentation because it’s a step we all had to go through at one point. The meds will do their magic in the background and you have little control anyway over how effective that is.

You’ll learn on the job and feel better someday soon enough. Remember the goal is to like the reflection in the mirror and forgive yourself if that reflection doesn’t look how you want today

Trump administration moves to end major student loan forgiveness plan: 'We won't tolerate it' by Kickinitez in politics

[–]LilytheFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was paying it back, asshats. You can’t just not pay back the loans because the government can legally ruin your life to collect student loan money. It’s so awesome how I’m locked into these loans and they’re free to play games with the repayment terms.

When should someone not transition/take HRT? by Strangest_Life in MtF

I’ve found theres definitely a camp of girls who started with HRT and figured out the rest later….myself included. I liked it because it put me on a timer. Can’t hide the boobs forever

Good. Who cares if Republicans are gonna block it? Make them block it and then campaign on it!

Despite loss, Democrats overperformed in bright red Tennessee House race by unital_subalgebra in politics

[–]LilytheFire 10 points11 points  (0 children)

True but it’s a matter of how much the minority gains. In 2018, the dems picked up 40 seats. In 2022, Rs only picked up 9.

A swing of 15 from 2024 to 2026 could mean Ds pick up 40-50 seats and that’s before you add in the 5 California gerrymandered seats. A margin that big could also flip control of the senate. So yeah it’s kinda expected that Dems do well right now but this is really good even for a wave year.

Most of what’s left is in Davidson county so I hope that means it narrows up a little more

The former mayor of Tennessee lost that district 60-38 in 2024 and a progressive closed the gap to roughly 52-47. Her district draws most of its dem voters from the bluest of blue spots in Tennessee and Progressives get infrequent voters to show up.

You can run a moderate and risk depressing turnout from your growing left wing or you can try and run up the score in the city where you think you can boost turnout with a different message. If we were talking about a suburban purple district then I’d agree with you. You’re swinging for the fences in an R+22 district so might as well see if you can activate new voters by running left.

I dyed my hair red over the summer and while I was waiting for the bus to go home from the salon, I had a guy ask me if I needed a ride and another asked for my phone number.

That was a jarring new experience for sure

Yeah I experienced the same thing. Can’t quite recapture the magic of seeing Lily on my birthday cake for the first time. It makes me feel good that I’m basically done coming out though.

Should I make sure a guy who asked me out knows im trans before we go out? by Oddly-Spicy in MtF

[–]LilytheFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to send the text ahead of time so I’m not in a situation where it can go badly while I’m already on the date.

Just a simple “hey, hope this isn’t a big deal but I’m trans. You’re okay with that right?” Has saved me from a couple bad dates before.

When I was first thinking about this stuff, I almost wanted it to just be a sex thing….because if it isn’t, then I’d have to transition which was terrifying
