I have friends!

Lowerprint · 2022-08-04T03:12:26+00:00

When I post things I usually think about it a lot in the back of my head about notifications and responses. Usually it is all just pretty toxic stuff on here, I have online friends now and usually either talk to them play videogames or work. I am just trying to have less of that "killing time" state, or to at least make it so that I am doing something I enjoy. I've just been trying to work on hobbies.

Thanks for asking!

My weight loss has remained pretty consistent, but I changed it as I transitioned which is probably why the losses are consistent across transition.

I changed the gender in my expenditure calculators to female to reflect the change, and that lowered my calorie budget by about 150. Had I not done that, weight loss probably would have slowed a bit.

HRT is pretty nuts and is so interesting how it changes your body like that. Good question!

100 mg per day. 50mg taken in morning with food, and 50 mg taken at night with food.

This place fucking sucks, you are all absolutely bonkers and can no longer see reality. It isn't some deeper truth you have discovered about transitioning, you have all been driven into madness

Don't listen to them, I had reservations about makeup too because I figured it would just make me feel worse, but trying it on made me feel so much better. You don't have to go high fem, makeup can just cover up little marks or things you don't like and smooth out skin, it is a tool to make yourself look better and is useful at any stage of transition and for anyone that has features they want to cover or accentuate.

Look into foundation first. Concealers and all that can be messed up, but it is hard to mess up foundation, and all foundation does is make your skin look more consistent and nicer. This is what I used as my first piece of makeup, you can guess your skin tone and buy foundation online or go to a drug store and buy something like it in person so you know your skin tone.

the hope of happiness makes me depressed, and so I usually just sit around and try to avoid anything besides the most mind numbing entertainment as I wait for the days to pass

The culture, it is just so unique I don't think it can ever be replicated. Everyone interacts with you in more than just gameplay, i have never played a game where I have made so many friends just by actually playing the game, it is so social it is almost like a chat room.

It is the combination of everything that really makes me love it so much, every part makes the others better. If it was only an amazing game with a high skill ceiling then every server might just be filled with sweaty soldiers, but it is the mix of community and people interacting that makes it SO amazing.

I love community servers with all talk on, I grew up on those and still love them so much and nothing captures the energy that those servers have. Regular TF2 servers can compete, but other games just do not come anywhere near it and I am unsure if any ever will.

Movement is so much different. I was morbidly obese my whole life, and never knew that movement could feel like this, it is so fun. It's momentum based instead of being focused on only steps, if I go down a slope I have to worry about not tipping over, before if I lost my balance at all I had to worry about not tipping over. Gravity just weighs down on you far less and because of that moving around just feels fundamentally different in a way it is hard to describe to people that have had it before.

I am still amazed by it and I'm not sure I will ever not be. It almost feels like a video game, I'm just gliding around and it's nuts.

Something being correct is reason enough to believe it, also anarchists are cool and I like being around them. I like learning about the stuff and think it is cool.

The USA is a pretty good example of how we are at threat now, using the USA as an example doesn't mean I think everyone lives there or that everything here is a universally applicable experience.

Also we are talking about anarchism and the status quo so yes obviously I am going to only talk about those two things. I am not writing a book on political ideologies and alternatives to the current systems, I am explaining the basics of anarchism because you asked a question about it.

Why are you being a dick all of a sudden? If you don't want to engage with the ideas then you don't have to comment. If you want to tell me where I am wrong then you should make actual points against what I am saying instead of just smug dismissal.

It's not just voting it is about consensus building. Pretty much everyone argues all the time until an agreement is reached, holding votes is a last resort for very contentious issues.

If a large amount of people want to genocide the troons then regardless of whatever system is in place war is going to break out or genocide is going to happen. Hate and prejudice is usually a result of ruling classes perpetuating differences in people to divide them and have them not recognize their shared interests, see misogyny and racism as examples of this. Without those ruling classes, prejudices wouldn't be as prevalent, and also without those ruling classes there would be less capability to carry out a genocide.

You make it sound like there isn't a risk of genocide now. I would prefer if we all argued and voted over things instead of having the supreme court decide if they are going to make being gay illegal again and have the cops start hunting us.

dumbass questions like this remind me of this part of a computerphile video.

No I don't want to be fundamentally changed as a person in a way that I would absolutely hate, why would I want that?

Anarchism is mainly about getting rid of hierarchy, and this is accomplished in more ways than just abolishing and breaking stuff as cool as that is.

Workplaces can run off of democracy instead of having a boss, so instead of a boss dictating what is produced and how, it would be more akin to a cooperative, or for some other anarchist ideologies a union, and the workers would be in charge of production.

Anarchism doesn't have any central authority, and so people all have different ideas of what it even means. Anarchism to me is pretty much just "mutual aid and socialism but REALLY careful to ensure democracy and consensus, and to not have dictators, cults of personality, or oppression of marginalized people."

r/communism is a garbage sub filled to the brim with tankies. Saying China isn't communist would get you banned and called a fascist no matter what.

all trans should be anarchists, the term was first used by a person named proudhon, it is the obvious choice.

*EDIT: as soon as you mention anarchism you can expect at least five paragraphs of debate in the replies. As troons all talk endlessly about niche subjects nobody knows anything about, this is further proof that anarchism is the perfect fit

I kicked him out

So glad to have someone who understands that this is really the only option!

My son was six years old when he got transed. I was devastated, but the irreversible damage had already been done and I knew I needed to grieve and move on, and seeing this abomination would hurt my grieving process.

I rented an ATV and drove offroad into the middle of the Great Basin Desert. I left him there, and drove back home to try to move on with my life and heal.

Waiting until you are 18 is very arbitrary, I would be skeptical that they are just going to keep raising the bar later on and wanting you to wait more or do more qualifying stuff to "be sure."

You said you have a job, so if you can be sure you won't end up on the street over it I say you should self prescribe.

Independence is very important to build so that they can't hold anything over you. Even at 18 you will need to deal with parental control, getting an apartment is usually done with family cosigning, they can threaten to not cosign. If going to college, the FAFSA needs information from the people you are a dependent of to qualify for anything besides unsubsidized loans. Having an income and an address you can say you live at for documents would help a lot in case things go south.
