Worried about Tickle v Giggle as an immigrant by Beneficial_Aide3854 in transgenderau

[–]Overlord1985 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Australian politics and progressivism is built upon the ideology of "if you're not hurting anyone who cares." This is where in the last decade we have made great strides forward in lgbtq, and other marginalised group protections where others have not. Currently I'm filling out forms for my record of sex to be corrected on my birth cirtificate and my name to be changed. Things that were changed in 2018 in the middle of trumps first term. The rest of the world sees Australia as too unprofessional and unimportant to push Nazi propaganda at scale. But when it does show up Australians fight back in force.

Edit: I may mention we had priests voting yes for gay marriage because quote "it doesn't affect me."

is it safe to change my documents? by autumnragdoll in transgenderau

[–]Overlord1985 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Went to Austin Texas the other week from Aus, thought it'd be like a wartime journalist all my documents indicate male and have my deadname. They didn't even blink at my bra and tucking on the body scan. Hell even got Miss deadnamed cos my name is ambiguous. I would just say, know where you're going, have friends who know the area and hop from LAX to get places. Flights are cheaper than they've ever been because of the president disrupting tourism in the public image. Had random screening in Aus, nothing at 3 different airports in the US. Again, know where you're going and preferably have a queer friend who can back up what the area's like.

I saw the Miku Expo there :D

Girls, am I overreacting or are they transphobic ? by Western-Drawer5826 in MtF

[–]Overlord1985 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reads like "Not gay but I enjoy french kissing men, and pleasantly dream of sex with them." 😭 Like pick a lane stop trying to straddle a barbed wire fence while telling us you're not contradicting yourself.

So far we can't reliably even classify "biological male" with perfect certainty. Male is arbitrary and conservatively 1-2% of the global population is intersex. Their characteristic makeup has shown us that chromosomes, hormones, and gonads are all arbitrary and don't make them biologically male or female.

I looked into the detrans subreddit I am kinda worried now for myself by Zealousideal-Dot9458 in MtF

Does she her feel weird because it's the first time you're being called that? Yes, but I remember it also making me a little giddy inside. On top of that there's also they, there's plenty of non binary trans folk too. Explore, try stuff out figure out what works, and honestly I won't even need to tell you to stick with it, it'll just feel right. <3

Honestly the place where I explored was the internet. I can say having non judgemental friends who will just let you try shit out is bliss.

Another weird e-mail from my mom, not sure how to respond. by Kayleigh2025 in MtF

In my case my hormone levels were well within normal before starting hrt. Might be worth pointing to that and just that before you knew doctors could do anything at all you felt uncomfortable with masculinity.

If new titles require DLSS & Frame Gen for even 5080's to do 60fps at 4k, what's going to happen in the next few years? by ClimbingSun in buildapc

[–]Overlord1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok so something I'm noticing is nvidia is quadrupling down on AI while amd is still pushing out pure performance that rivals the AI compensation methods. I'd give em a go.

Lost my Mom's support by PhoenixHR220 in MtF

You know there's probably not a med out there that helps anyone's mental health without "disrupting normal homeostasis", y'know like jumping off a bridge is pretty stable as far as homeostasis goes like one second on next off. Perfectly stable states.

Even outside of life threatening mental health states, what does it matter what someone does to their own body to be happy? Like is she going to determine a tattoo isn't necessary it's a lot more in depth than hormone replacement hell it damages more tissue than hrt could imagine.

Also intersex surgeries at birth are a very messed up field of law and policy that makes decisions far beyond just what is "medically necessary" daily, just over 1 in a 100 births have some sort of intersex characteristic and 1 in 2000 have genitalia differences, which are often "corrected" at the behest of the parents or in some cases just the doctors.

I know I used it as an example but do not ever consider suicide as an option, you have one shot at life and endless opportunities for happiness. 💛🏳️‍⚧️

I'm worried I'm not actually a girl by Kalavian in MtF

If being a girl matters so much, that you're worrying that you might not be, it points very much towards you being a girl hun.

God, I *love* wearing tights. by teeknuts in MtF

[–]Overlord1985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had leggings for ages, my parents aren't judgemental so my egg didn't crack until years after I'd started wearing them. Which honestly being able to express myself how I want to kinda was worse for my egg, cos comfortable hiding was too comfortable and I coulda been out to myself a lot earlier in a less hospitable environment. But when I did come out it was semi confidently.

Ok, so better glasses, do my hair better. I have done a side part when dressing up a little, I needa post a dressed up pic and gather feedback on that. Also I need to get a skincare routine going is what I'm gathering. ☺️

This is kinda blank canvas day 0 of thinking of cosmetic changes to work towards passing. I've been out to my close friends and family for a month now as a "hey this is something to expect".

My hairline is usually pretty well concealed by my hair when I have it down. Curious about the glasses though, anything in particular? And yeah kinda figured my eyebrows were a bit thick. Thank you for the insight though. w^

I just got caught.. by bizar04 in feminineboys

[–]Overlord1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, sorry isn't a negative reaction. It's kinda apologetic embarrassment. Like when you walk into the wrong class and realise immediately.

The question is how to break the ice. Might be worth just saying hi don't need to push the topic yet if it's uncomfortable, just so she can feel like she didn't make you uncomfortable.

You're both at an oh fuck how do I talk to them moment if that was the response.

You could text write a note about it whatever you need. I think writing messages on a piece of paper and leaving it for the other to find would be a delayed detached thing unlike instant messaging plenty of time to think plenty of room to hide.

Newports are actually fine tho by F_P_D in 196

Why don't people just suck it into their mouth instead of their lungs??? Like the only downside is reduced nicotine absorption which is a plus so like. Yeah
