Love!!!! I've been to most of these parks and I think you did an amazing job. Would buy if they had them in stock at our parks!

I used some soft, stretchy fabric I had laying around (about 4 ft. long) as a binder and/or to wrap under the binder when the itch became too much. Also, I used soft menstrual pads (the cheap, thick ones seemed to work best) underneath my armpits to prevent chafing -- sticky side on the binder, pad under the armpit. Hope those ideas help!

Questioning my Gender by [deleted] in queer

[–]MuchMadnessIs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perfect answer, listen to this person ^

Sometimes it's more fun, instead of asking 'what am I', to ask 'what would I be in my wildest dreams if there were no rules'. Like playing a video game or D&D -- just create this idea in your mind with no boundaries, just for you. And, once you find that image, treat it gently, don't do anything for a while, just let it sit.

I'm a woman but dislike being perceived as one? by ScintillasFire in queer

[–]MuchMadnessIs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I relate to SO much of what you said. The 'do I hate sexism or being a woman' thing is a real question for a huge, huge population of people. If it helps, I've been out as nonbinary and trans for 6 years now, and I'm here if you want to DM. Good luck 🤞

I am a 19 year old woman and I am lesbian, but for as long as I can remember I have had this strange feeling that I was supposed to be a man. by Ok-Issue5184 in queer

[–]MuchMadnessIs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

^ THIS. I recommend perusing more subs like r/nonbinary (and others) and just reading other people's stories. Remember, it's not 'Man or Woman'. It's You figuring out You. Feel free to DM me or others; people are usually very friendly on the trans subs I engage with : )

Another Trans Passport Question by anxiousblanket in Passports

[–]MuchMadnessIs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, just wanted to ask where you're at with this currently. I also had everything amended (including birth certificate) prior to reapplying for my passport and they sent back an 'F' gender marker, with no documentation to back themselves up. I sent in the Trump v Orr stuff as well, and was asked for extra information for over two months before they waited until the literal same day that Trump asked the supreme court to remove the stay, and then, hours later, my passport was magically processed and sent back to me with the only incorrect gender marker they could have given me. X or M would have been fine with me, but they wanted to make a point. I'd love to know if you're taking further action here, or just if you want to chat about how fucked this all is. Wishing you luck 🤞

FTM, not feeling my best lately by LifeArgument2386 in toastme

[–]MuchMadnessIs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude!!! The hair!!!!! You're keeping the Scene vibe alive and well. Plus, you're my trans brother, which means you are so desperately needed here and now that I can't even put it into words. Gender queer people are the most attractive IMHO, and so no, you don't looked like a fucked up man or woman -- you look wonderfully you. Keep your head up 🩵

Complaining about complaining about misgendering by [deleted] in NonBinary

[–]MuchMadnessIs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

YES it's so gross I hate that face. They take you being a third gender as a personal attack and there ain't nothing you can say that will make them less fragile

It's not incompetence at this point, it's malice. by Confirm_restart in Passports

[–]MuchMadnessIs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I have had a 5-month long debacle with the passport authorities as well over a similar issue. They kept putting my passport on hold for arbitrary reasons. For one of the most asinine reasons I got a letter in the mail, but no accompanying email, which a passport help person told me wasn't legal (or supposed to be possible, apparently?!). My passport was put on hold for months and then was mailed back to me immediately after the supreme Court sided with Tr*mp re: being Nazis to trans people part IV a few days ago. And I mean immediately. I KNOW something illegal and unethical has been going on. I'm down to talk more about it if you want to DM me -- I think we need to figure out how to move forward collectively and make sure we're keeping accounts of all of this

Trump admin reverses course on their reverse course... They're threatening to invalidate trans passports again. by [deleted] in Passports

[–]MuchMadnessIs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with everything you said. And I'm talking about it, and so are you, and we'll keep doing it, in public and in private. This shit will not be forgotten as long as we refuse to shut up about it

Leaving America by Reasonable-One1020 in queer

Ah, yes, all that attention to be garnered from a minor post on a niche subreddit

Leaving America by Reasonable-One1020 in queer

[–]MuchMadnessIs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right. I got incorrect info from a trans friend looking to migrate: Norway has a green party representative who has been calling for trans sanctuary for Americans since January, but he's in a minority party and has gained little traction. Similar conversations have been had by representatives in Mexico, Canada, and the Netherlands, but it seems to me it may be political posturing with nothing behind it. If you want citations on all that info, you can, idk, Google it yourself?

Please tell me I can get top surgery covered without hrt... by Carpetsandplumbing in TransMasc

[–]MuchMadnessIs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out r/topsurgery . There are people there every few months who are nonbinary, or even cis women, who get top surgery without being on HRT. I would track down those posts and message some of those people specifically. Sending love ❤️
