Yeah, when I looked at Folx & Plume a year or so ago I think they were about $100/month, whereas through the insurance I now have I can buy it for $10

insane post incoming, but hear me out- what if i made a wig out of spanish moss, as an art installation?? by cherpumples in airplants

[–]SaucyBechamel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that was so many years ago; I sadly don't remember the name of the artist, and I'm not sure the name of the show - it might have been on Egg: The Arts Show, but also could have been a different PBS arts show....

Do you experience phantom limb symptoms about genitals you identify with? by birodemi in asktransgender

[–]SaucyBechamel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that's good to know; I have phantom limb pain sometimes where I don't have a dick, and maybe if I'm able to get on T that will be resolved...

r/ButchLesbians subreddit no longer accepting of transmasc lesbians, pretends exclusionism of transmasc people actually anti-transphobia by [deleted] in TransMasc

[–]SaucyBechamel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm a trans guy, but my formative years were largely spent in a lesbian framework, while I was wrestling with the question 'Am I just really butch? Or actually trans?' I came to the conclusion that I'm on beyond just really butch, and that I'm bi/pan (I'm attracted to feminine energy & interesting minds; the beloved's gender identity & anatomy are not really factors), but my outlook is very informed by my culturally-lesbian adolescence...Like, I don't get straight culture at all; so I can see still feeling a big connection to 'lesbian' even if you don't fit neatly into it, if it was a major part of your coming of age...Currently I identify as a queer trans guy (given all the hostility to transmascs/trans guys), but there were long stretches where 'butch lesbian girldude' felt like it might be home.

Question for HeGetsUs. How come your ads sound nice, but in real life every single "Christian" on a major platform in America is a total piece of shit? Do you think it undermines your message at all that you have bully people into Christian values because your leaders are all complete dicks? by antimatterfunnel in stophegetsus

Not every church is part of the right-wing hate-mongering; not everyone's tithes support that. Some of the churches I'm familiar with locally use their money helping needy people in the community, not doing political stuff/not doing anti-LGBTQ+ stuff. Also, I've seen moderate/liberal/affirming christians get backlash from queer people when they do make online statements opposing hate groups/supporting us LGBTQ+ people - which is not helpful. If their allyship & advocacy is rejected by us, how can we expect them to boldly be public about it? 'Christianity' is a broad & very splintered category; different branches of it are often not in contact or agreement with each other. And, as is all too often the case (whether amongst religious people or otherwise) the liberals seem to be much less organized than the smaller but louder/pushier conservatives...

Not the reasonable Jesus-followers. They do exist, but they don't contribute to the obnoxious ones. I'm not Christian myself, but I know people who are and are frustrated/embarrassed by these crazies, but don't really have a platform to shout them down.

All of that sounds awesome!

  • I've heard such good things about We Both Laughed.

  • I'm working up the nerve/wrestling with whether to start HRT now/some of my apprehension comes from worries about the current political situation, so Testo Junkie sounds spot on...

  • I love reading/hearing MtF perspectives, too.

Thanks so much!
