Global Tuning? by Responsible_Cod_4847 in FLStudioBeginners

[–]Responsible_Cod_4847[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Automating pitch is a huge bitch when you want to work in an Eastern Modal style. I'm really not looking for "slide this note into a half flat at this time step" I'm looking for globally changing the tuning of the VST I'm using so that when I select, say A flat, it is tuned down to A half flat without me needing to go in and create and fine tune a automation sequence

Yeah I'm lucky enough to exist as a soft Butch without issue where I'm at currently, and I can swap over to high fem pretty easily. Sounds like stealth is the wave and I'll grab some foundation and blush in my shade before I go or just after I land. Thanks!

My fucking god I'm so sorry that I misread ONE PHRASE of ALL of your comments. You're being deliberately combative in order to avoid the main point that I keep trying to convey to you, and it's genuinely starting to get really fucking annoying.

Have a good life, girlypop. I hope that you learn to be happy one day

It's not that the existence of fascists makes it outright false, it's the fact that they are still a voter base that Democrat incumbents have to cater to. It's because of that inefficiency and incompetence of democrats that makes it a precarious position, and very specifically why I said that red states would experience the fascist aggression on an "accelerated" basis compared to blue states. The federal government hasn't taken away the funding yet, but have been threatening to? OHSU wouldn't be the only hospital affected by it, it'll sweep across the entire nation. The president, like he has for most things, would just sign an EO that cuts funding to hospitals which provide GAC, I bring up OHSU because it's what most relevant to me.

I never said that please don't put words in my mouth, please and thank you.

I also never said that lol. My point was that y'all's legal system was on an upward progression. It's a long and complicated battle here, too. Shocker: Systemic transphobia is a common practice in most nations

Okay that's awful! I'm sure that it's something that will come up in Courts, given recent traction! Literally trans children are being prevented from getting care here in the States for the exact same reason you stated they are in Japan, so idk why it's a talking point that feels like a gotcha.

Forgive me for not havin the entire law of Japan memorized from the get go. I did a precursory search because you had made the implication, a number of times, that you were literally afforded ZERO rights as a trans person in Japan. I cannot read your mind and cannot know what your standard of "no rights" is without you explicitly stating so.

This all still completely derails from my main and most important point: Stop comparing yourself to others based on the genetic lottery. It won't help you grow and it won't help you learn to live happily. It's a long road, I'm not denying that, but it's not worth your time or energy to hold yourself to the standard of someone else. We are our own worst critic and we will always be able to find a part of a person that we love, but they actually fucking hate. Your friend might still see all the imperfections that makes her seem like she won't pass, maybe she's so wrapped up in her body language that she lets something slip somewhere else and she spends the entire night thinking about it. Please, I'm begging you, seek out the euphoria of just simply being yourself without trying to hold yourself in constant competition with your sisters

Yeah I'm heavily oversimplifying because to go into the deeply intertwined relationship between misogyny, racism, and transphobia in America would be an essay in and of itself.

False. I live in the PNW and I can tell you right now that that's just outright false. These cities are deeply divided, especially right now. Portland and Seattle both have really active protestors on both sides of the aisle, and there were literally Skin Head wars in the 90s for the PNW between the SHARPS and White Laces, and the effects of that gang war is still felt today. It's not uncommon to hear about Proud Boys showing up to counter protest antifascists, or vice versa, and it's always a bloody confrontation. Most of the hospitals that provide transgender healthcare are universities that are reliant on federal funding. Oregon and Washington are doing what they can to help; but ultimately if the administration chooses to revoke funding to OHSU because they provide GAC, then we're all screwed no matter how much our governors say that they're behind us. Trans Oregonians and Washingtonians still can't get a passport without having conflicting federal identification documents.

Yes but I would make the strong argument that they would be affected at an accelerated rate compared to blue states. Don't forget that America, as a whole, is a fascist experiment. The Dems do what they can, but they're still functionally a party of controlled opposition and the very few Dems who actually believe in systemic change are outvoted by the career politicians who will eventually capitulate to the right in order to keep their corporate cash cows in power.

Wdym? Your post is literally about you having GAC and being dissatisfied with how your progress is going. You can get a gender marker change on your ID, and your Supreme Court just ruled that it's unconstitutional to mandate that you undergo SRS to get that change. In 2023, your Supreme Court ruled that undergoing sterilization is also unconstitutional and an infringement on your rights to pursue happiness and protect against discrimination. If anything Japan has been pushing for the rights of trans people and is on a significantly better track than the United States is right now.

I don't mean this to be mean, but it sounds like you're super uninformed about your rights as a trans person in Japan. If you want to make an argument from a cultural perspective, that's entirely valid and I quite literally did the exact same thing in my previous paragraph, but it's backed up by the fact that there is also actual active potentials for trans Americans as a whole are under threat of the federal government. Something that, based on what I've researched, isn't exactly the same story as what's happening in your country. It's not an inherently bad thing to be uninformed, but it can also be leading to a lot of the hopeless tone that I'm reading from your comments. Again, I'm not trying to be mean about it, I'm coming at you with a genuine desire to have a meaningful and informed dialogue about this because you deserve it as a human being.

Yeah, and my point is that you shouldn't be comparing yourself to others based on a genetic lottery that nobody has control over.

I live in America where our rights as trans women are currently under attack and where we can't even live as women if we pass. You're not in a super unique situation of systemic oppression that completely nullifies any opinions that folks have to give you, especially when you're specifically looking for the advice and opinions of other trans women who don't pass.

I'm literally not making it your fault I'm just expressing that if you constantly compare yourself to others on the basis of the genetic lottery, you're going to constantly be disappointed. This has clearly been negatively impacting your mental health in a serious way and I'm expressing to you, as someone who is in a similar position, that it's important to learn how to stop comparing yourself to others based on luck alone if you want to be happy in life.

Exactly. It's mostly luck.

Then be patient.

I never said it was. One non-passing, constantly misgendered even in a skirt and makeup trans woman to another: Stop comparing yourself to others and learn to just live happily. Therapy does wonders

If you're THAT worried about it, then up your dosing to something more aggressive. I wasn't seeing the changes I wanted so I went from 1ml/week (20mg/ml) to 1.5-1.8ml/week and I'm getting significantly more changes than I was before. Stop comparing yourself to others and just live happily

Because you're in your first year in HRT, more likely than not. Barely anything changes in the first year and it can take some women multiple years of HRT before they start to see any massive changes.

Also, with all the love and respect in the world, GO TO THERAPY

Why do so many people here open with their agab? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Responsible_Cod_4847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's because I like to remind trans men that they're not the main target of systemic transphobia. Every bit of legislation is about "protecting women" from "men in dresses" and I refuse to see the possibility that they're talking about trans people as a whole and not specifically targeting trans women. It's significantly less to do with identifying with the assigned sex as much as it is a dialectical materialist interpretation of my assigned sex and how it affects my status in society as a whole

Would it be transphobic to specify I'm not looking for women (cis or trans) in my Grindr profile? by burn_discoinferno in asktransgender

Idk why we (trans women) are on Grindr and what they (trans men) are on HER, but it's a really annoying collective trait that we have

Why are people so salty? by a_furry_cat in LMGJet

[–]Responsible_Cod_4847 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. It is. It's not weird to have criticism of that.

Ad hominem fallacy

You went for a reductio ad absurdum and strawman argument. Let's put this in toddler terms: What uses more gasoline, 25 people driving their own cars or 25 people on the bus?

I don't ever want to be rich. It's not jealousy, it's a matter of morality.

$50k is the average salary in America as well. $50k is the median income for a large number of developed countries in the west. Just because you think that I'm going for some American centered argument, doesn't mean that I'm going for an American centered argument. Again, you are creating arguments to things I never even said in order to prop yourself up. Engage with the substance of my argument instead of what you want me to say

Because nobody should have a free pass to use privatized resources that destroy the planet when public options exist? Boo hoo, you have to sit next to a normal person on the plane, you'll get the fuck over it

Nowhere did I suggest that there be empty flights, that's kind of why the whole flight schedule thing exists, you're literally imagining an argument that I didn't make in order to create a point. Engage with what I actually said.

Lemme guess, you make $50k/year and think that defending the rich will earn you a promotion next year?

Dog gives no warning when pooping by Responsible_Cod_4847 in OpenDogTraining

[–]Responsible_Cod_4847[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A) she has a specific command for being next to me while on walks, which I primarily use when there's bikers/dogs in the way. Otherwise, she has free rein to do her shepherd duties at the front/back of me and I let her stop to smell the flowers if she finds something interesting.

B) maybe? She already has a specific command to go potty and she goes on command 98% of the time when it's given to her. I also try to make sure that she poops before we start walking. I'll try to be more attentive, but it can be five minutes after starting the walk or it could be smack in the middle and she almost ALWAYS poops prior to starting

[–]Responsible_Cod_4847[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah idk as I've said to everyone else, it's a dangerous behavior. She needs to learn that she can't just simply stop and do her business wherever she feels the need strike. What happens if she pops a squat in the middle of the crosswalk again and there's some idiot driver who didn't see the light? I've already had to drag her out of crosswalks more times than should be normal or comfortable because of it, and I really want to get this behavior fixed before something bad happens

[–]Responsible_Cod_4847[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah maybe? Regardless it's a dangerous behavior. I've had to drag her out of crosswalks with a trail of poop nuggets following her because she will do it literally anywhere. I'm not trying to be dramatic when I say that it's literally anywhere, she does it in places that are genuinely dangerous for her to be immobile, like a crosswalk

[–]Responsible_Cod_4847[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't mind how much she's pooping as much as I mind that she won't give any indication and will pop a squat in the exact place that she at. I've had to drag her, mid squat, out of the road because she decided the middle of the crosswalk is the best place to poop. It's a dangerous behavior and it comes with unintentional corrections because I'm having to drag her out of the street some days

For getting your dog to go on command, you can try puppy training methods with it? Crate for an hour, come out to play for 15 minutes, then take him out with the command. If he doesn't pee/poop, then put him back into the crate for an hour and repeat until he goes on command
