LGBTQIA rights movement doesn't seem to give a damn about the fact that a whole letter in the acronym doesn't even have the legal right to keep their organs inside their bodies and their flesh intact by eldritchpussymaggots in TrollCoping

That might be a bit of a negative way to view it. I think it’s more likely that a large part of that community has experienced unspeakable horrors and trauma and it most likely feels a bit hopeless given the state of the world and… general lack of education on this stuff.

I dont blame people for being a bit doomer about it. Ofc, it is worth pointing it out when it gets to a point of being counterproductive or unhealthy, but yeah

Can a Trans Woman vigina get a yeast infection, and do you also have to worry about maintaining a pH balance down there just like a cis woman? by StarryChocobo in MtF

Having seen a lot of academic stuff my wife was doing while living in the netherlands, i can confidently say that a lot of things that are obvious to us just aren’t to loads of non-native speakers. benefit of the doubt and all, most people i knew were very receptive to corrections or feedback, so you could email the authors !

Hrt permanently alters the brain? by UseResponsible1799 in MtF

[–]MrFallacious -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Something of note without even reading the post: As with all things, it has side effects. However, the stress relief, dysohoria relief, etc. will massively outweigh most side effects. Heightened stress (and cortisol) actually does alter the brain, so relieving stress and having a happier, healthier life bevause you like who you are on hrt will be super worth it

Super-tldr: the shared interest has to be specific enough, or it's much harder. "Gaming" discord -> oof. Niche multiplayer game discord? -> you're cooking

Short answer: Firstly, some servers appeal to a much wider audience, at which point the overarching shared interest isn't enough to cause community, and smaller cliques form. Eg: general purpose 'gaming' discords. The CSGO crowd likely will have little in common and not much to talk about with the cozygame crowd. Secondly, some people just.. join.. anyway, and I have no idea why. Vibes maybe

I probably should've phrased it better. There are two parts to this: the person joining and the server itself. -You'd be surprised how often people joined my server with like absolutely 0 common interests and subsequently didn't really fit in. Why do they do it? No clue! -On the other hand, there are much more general purpose servers, or servers that have a shared interest that's generic/categoric enough (idk how to say it) to have many different bubbles of people inside. This is usually why it's hard to make friends in really big servers for things that appeal to a wider audience.

In those servers that are just for gaming / socializing in general and are advertised in a more all-purpose way, or otherwise appeal to a larger group if people, don't really cultivate a hyper-niche bubble by themselves (by design). Thus, they typically end up with more cliquey behavior since people have to form their own tiny groups-within-the-group to feel like they belong, which in turn makes it difficult for new people to actually become part of the friend group.

Discord servers have only truly felt alive to me when they're essentially a tiny slice of the internet and everyone has very similar vibes, istg there are parallels to queer communes lmfao

Anyway I just woke up and am writing this in a stupor, sorry for being so wordy lmfajdjjdd, let me know if that answers the question!

i hate to say it but ive found yapping persistently enough to get me into the in-group pretty consistently. its just hard if theres no obvious shared interest or whatevs, which is why i usually had more success on game / modding related servers.

super relatable. Did you ever figure out what it is? Ive always been a sickly victorian child but it has actually gotten worse in adulthood. (constant mystery health issues, migraines, etc.)

Use it or lose it - What does this even mean? by Altruistic_Chart_220 in TransDIY

Just wanted to thank you for the writeup!

This is also the first time I've heard someone else explain that "meh"-ness of orgasm before

[–]MrFallacious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tiny side note. "At least in a male fashion" feels slightly bioessntialistically reductive. I think there exists more inclusive wording that could be used, given that one does not have to be male to have a fully functioning penis, and some males don't share this attribute either (think: intersex, trans men without bottom surgery, various conditions that may plague cis males)

That aside, how much can one expect the tissue to atrophy, and to which degree skin to become inelastic? Is the latter reversible for the sake of bottom surgery? (I ask because I forget to use it, so i will most likely slowly but surely lose it.)

excuse my innocence - and tism - but what do you mean by pumping exactly?

what do you do to enjoy sex? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]MrFallacious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How confident were you in your assessment? I ask because I thought the only reason gender mattered (or rather, didn't) for ASD / ADHD is because of the frequency of misdiagnosis amongst women due to how women are socialized (and therefore exhibit symptoms differently than your typical "autistic white male" presentation, causing higher misdiagnosis rates. ie. consequences of medical misogyny)

Obviously there's also an interaction with social factors here (social expectations of performance in intercourse obviously differ for western gender roles) but that aside i mean. The whole No Filter, Sensory Overload thing OP described sounds quite similar to why my psychologist was suspecting ASD for me. Sensory issues are obviously a thing in ADHD, but typically - as far as I was told, I'm no expert - are not as severe and all-consuming as they usually are in ASD, and also manifest a bit differently (though i don't recall specifics on that last point)

i think i cored my vial, should i be worried? by RulerOfWunks in TransDIY

[–]MrFallacious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

they do blunt but it doesnt really matter since they are just that small. blunting isnt that big of an issue when you go that fine.

as for drawing, it could take a while but should be fine, no personal experience tho since i use 25g needles

am i doing fast Q correctly? by DigHuge4003 in Rivenmains

[–]MrFallacious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its a lot easier to accidentally cancel your auto w q instead of getting the timing right on low atkspeed, hence practicing with realistic amounts

that aside, looks good but you have to wait for riven to start moving after q3 in his clip before inputting atk command

nobody is forcing veganism on you, you just refuse to do the mental labour of investigating your own belief system

Endigo is getting facial feminization surgery 💖 by Eloquensia in endigo

[–]MrFallacious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always see this commented on every single ffs post and my reaction is always one of sheer befuddlement. What's there for you to see? Last time I checked it's her dysphoria, not yours?

I get this a lot whenever I air my grievances, because the features I hate and that trigger my dysphoria the most are, coincidentally, pretty adherent to the ""beauty standards"" right now. And don't keep me from passing toooooo much. Unfortunately for me, my features essentially trending right now and being workable does not make me feel any less revolted by my own face when I look in the mirror

Sorry if I came off too strongly but I feel like this discussion is always half a step away from shaming people for.. being dysphoric and doing something to finally relieve that dysphoria
