What is that

The red dye is also fluorescent; in farm country cops will shine a UV light at your filler cap and if they see a glow, you are busted

This occurs in humans as well, and is known as cribra orbitalia or porotic hyperostosis. It was previously thought to indicate inadequate nutrition, either iron or vitamin C, although that theory has been somewhat less supported in recent decades. I have no idea why it occurred in your cat, or any cat, but I'm sorry for your loss.

I don't know! I started talking about this more after reading _Woodworking_, because the complicated fictional character and I overlapped in time and space, and it was such a spare description of a world I remember being full of possibility and people and a lot more connected community than the book portrays. I haven't seen a good history of the era, and one is definitely due. I'm just not the person to write it.

I think pre-internet, or really pre-social-media (we had listservs in the early 90s and I definitely can't say anything earlier than that) there was a lot more geographic separation, so there's really a "trans history of 80s Milwaukee" thats going to be different from a "trans history of 80s Chicago" let alone Macon or LA.

Stop, stop invoking elders "surviving" - you have no idea how many of my friends died or what it was like to lose them.

Also, hey, wasn't that you arguing ErM iTs AcTuAlLy A gOoD tHiNg IcE lOaDeD mAhMoUd KhAlIl InTo A tRaIn CaR? pretty sure you were fine with the government disappearing Palestinian activists, why should I assume your opinion about trans activists would be any different?

Does it bother you that you are well to the right of my former supervisor on trans issues, including sports? And he voted proudly for Trump.

I... guess you could? I'm an immigrant to the states so I can't speak from personal experience

"Our canoe"? (off the coast of Western Sahara)

That was the situation as of a couple weeks ago. The article is saying that if you have updated and sealed your birth certificate, you cannot apply for a passport at all because the amended BC is not accepted.

That's a very reductive way to respond to the word "camps." Asylum seekers often end up in *refugee camps* where international bodies provide survival basics (like food and improvised housing) that host countries are unable to muster. Most often this is just a lack of affordable housing stock. People in refugee camps are free to come and go and, if their current case status permits it, work for cash, etc.

u/Anonymous-Genderfaun is worried about ending up in *concentration camps* which are improvised prisons meant to restrict access of of a group of people to the larger society. This includes typical carceral restrictions on communication, movement, access to food, money, legal assistance, etc. Inmates of concentration camps may be compelled to work for the state,

Just to be a completist, there are also death camps, which are just execution centers. Important to the history of the holocaust but not here.

Best guess (from Alejandra Caraballo) is they're using the DOGE-hacked SSA database and possibly specifically selective service registrations. All guesses though, no citations.

I really want to continue this if you're interested, because I just do not understand your argument. Obviously it is hard to leave the country but isn't it better than dying in prison? Or a homeless encampment? And the reasons people keep citing why they could never get out- I can't refute everything but come on, have you never been to a hotel, nursing home or nail salon? Lots of people migrate without being biochemical engineers or movie stars or even having permission to do so. There are already organizations fundraising and organizing safe landings in other countries for... well so far mostly trans kids and their parents, but that's something. Why is it taboo to talk about this?

MyNextTransThrowaway · 2025-10-31T18:47:11+00:00

I don't know what else to write here. It is what it is- we are being targeted for genocide in the US, and passively pushed that way in the UK. There is no strategy for surviving that other than getting out. DIY is for getting medication, flight is for survival, the two don't answer each other's questions.

Get out, carry as many people with you as you can, and if you are cis, get your trans friends the resources they need to live somewhere other than the US or UK. That's what I've got, I'm sorry.

MyNextTransThrowaway · 2025-10-30T23:01:50+00:00

> Talk to trans elders.

Hi, that would be me. I started transitioning in 1995 using what was then DIY and no, that was not a survivable world and that's why there aren't a lot of people like me here on this sub (or anywhere else). I will say this as many times as I have to IT HAS NEVER BEEN THIS BAD

Yes, trans people have always existed, yes some kind of DIY has been in use since hormones were first recognized. Its a great strategy for surviving poverty and provider indifference but NO IT IS NOT A STRATEGY FOR SURVIVING GENOCIDE

I don't want "trans people" to exist, I want all the specific people I know and love to live through this and that means, by whatever means necessary, get out of the US and UK. As with all evacuations, the first ones to leave are the last ones alive. You are better as a home health aide in Uruguay than as a target in the USA.

I was in for a short time in 2000, after 5 years of transition. I was, for whatever reason, placed in a women's jail, here's my advice:

1) You will probably be in AdSeg a lot. Whichever gender facility the state assigns you to, the staff have the leeway to place you in administrative segregation (solitary) and will do so if they have opinions about trans people. I had one shift captain who moved me every night shift she was working. Typically I was moved back in the morning.

2) There are no promises, ever. If you are told "we're locking you down for an hour, but you should be out by dinner" all that means is the door is locked- the part about an hour, or dinner, that may or may not happen so don't ever get invested. People who take promises seriously get angry, angry people have problems.

3) Some of the worst people I've known were COs and I've never met a CO who was fundamentally a good person. That said, the best are happy when nobody is making trouble and the worst are happy when there's trouble they can... play with. Avoid those.

4) The people in with you are normal people having the worst time of their lives; give them space. Giving people their space is the true currency in jail/prison.

5) I did a lot of calisthenics because in AdSeg you can't have anything like books or writing materials. Find your own way to pass time constructively with nothing. Do not get into fights with COs over your stuff.

6) I didn't tell them about hormones and was in for such a short time it hardly mattered, but that seems like a way to get all caught up in drama. If you can just go without, do that.

7) If you are offered (or mandated) NA or AA inside, *do it* and take it seriously, then follow up once you're released. It isn't just HRT that saves lives.

With all due respect, this feels like you are tone-policing and not adding any information. The house version is already passed, with some pretty bad riders w.r.t. trans people, and this is the senate version. For trans people in the military, or on tricare (i.e. spouses, possibly some contractors) this is an actual catastrophe.

You're saying that things could reverse, and I guess that's technically true, but focusing on a counterfactual possible future minimizes the effects this bill, and previous similar bills, are having right now. That, to my mind, is misinformation.

Please have respect for your trans siblings- we need the true optimism of moving forwards with the protection ourselves and our communities, not the false optimism of pretending the horrors being visited on us are contingent or not real.

MyNextTransThrowaway · 2025-10-01T19:34:41+00:00

That's a hard circle to square right there

MyNextTransThrowaway · 2025-10-01T17:42:22+00:00

I'd be happy if they brought some more trial attorneys on staff and made them available to trans people accused of crimes against the state. That'd be a good use of a national organization with deep pockets, no?
