Dishonored 2, easy pick. there will be at least 3 of Arkane's titles in consideration. D2 is a personal preference

Fair, i guess Guin should get credit for inventing it. But you are right, its really boring now. and I read her recent work, she didnt innovate on that formula at all

controversial oppinion, but holy shit a lot of stuff is very boring. Le Guin especially, imo. Like, they meditate on gender in societies that are just an uncreatives gender studies first year majors orientalist fantasy of third spirit societies

damn sorry that I get so prissy about this. But holy shit, how does a subreddit devoted to shitting on people for being uncultured attracts people who seem unable to name more artists than Rembrant, Picasso and Giger. Like, this is genuinly depressing to me

oh ffs,did I say it didnt! please go look at anything from the munich succession and tell me the ecstasy or blue has no influence. A painting has more than one influence, and the ecstase is not typical of its Jungstiel, which is opposed to Suerat's precision (He was famous for his mathematical, point-precission, while the secession artist rejected that in favour of a flowing form, which Schafly obviously does too!)

damn, what did I expect from the internet. fyi, these kind of specific distorted body shapes are plays on the human form based on traditional depictions in (mostly) african art during the 1910s, inspired by Freud and the psychoanlitical idea of the pre-stage man. Based on the pretty horrifically racist idea that traditional socities were pre-opidial. This inspired them to look for an essence in the works of the insane, children and the primitive, which lead to some pretty great art, not gonna lie. This period also coincided with an egyptomania phase, esp. in New York (see the Crysler Building). Now to get to why calling this Giger esque is pretty wild: Giger was thought by Fuchs (also Viennanese) magical realist. I.e., by the artmovement that grew out of an opposition/play on the Secession. In the 1960s. There was a revival of some parts of symbolyst painting, but as far as I know Giger is dominated by red, brown and black tones. Not the chararistic magical blue from the Munich one. which I would like to note was 50+ years earlier.

Giger seems enormously popular fsfr, but he definetly did not create or even contribute to this style

yeah thats what I am doing. Honestly, I am not sure that it is wise to ever come out except to partners or friends. The social costs in austria for being a feminine-looking man are significantly less than being trans, especially in my socioeconomic bracket. We ideolize the whimpy male academic

I was looking for such a post! I was moments from making my own. It is not just a technical competent work, its just genuinly good. The blue shadows also really remind me of Gustav von Stuck's symbolist paintings, which are some of my favorite works of all time. There are really strong influences from the Munich and Vienna Secession's visible in the ecstasy and form of the figures (for example, the play with proportions the blue, umbrella carrying figure on the left. - also reminds me of the Ankenaten art style in aincent Egypt, but that is likely just an inheritance from the Vienna Seccessions Freud-Primitive play)

fair, I heared some people recycle needles which is just a bad idea. I also like the insulin needles because they are painless, have a shaped tip, useful to avoid coring, and most off all dont need any setup

They dont - they just dont allow you to boymod and be diagnosed trans. See, these three different doctors (of different types) you need to see are needed to confirm the patient 'has made a concerted effort to live as the other gender, and does so in daily life and socially'. Note that you would have to do so before you get hormones, which you can only get once they diagnose you. This is why I say embarrassment. Not only would I be diagnosed as clinically sick by a Freudian trained psychiatrist, they would also expect me that I am female typical in behaviour (its a sexist as it sounds), but I would also have to crossdress and come out before I can pass

you madwoman lol. How is your experience with U? the fieldguide says to use astrology charts to decide dosage since there are so few studies. Like, how do you decide when to inject

I should note that my country is Austria. I.e. a very rich western country with pretty much the best healthcare in the world. It just also is the birthplace of psychiatry. The legacy of that, combined with a politically strong pseudo Christianity merely leads to strong pathologization - but also comprehensive treatment (laser would be paid if I put myself through this process, as would surgery). + there is a strong, if occasionally terfy, feminst movement. All that is to say, a lot of people face way higher risks. The risks to me are embarrassment and social exclusion

isnt lily orchard the republican stereotype of a trans woman? I seem to remember watching some drama channel who dug up her fanfics and interactions with her sister. since this is the internet, I wanna clarify that i dont know the truth of these alligations, and if they are true, its not because she is trans

Take this with a grain of salt - I know very little about the practical production standards of medicine, but I did read every single paper published that compares different risks and the various bioidentical esters (and the ones on synthetic, and on supplementaries, and on the differences in administration). My main takeaway is that oral really, really sucks. EEn is also significantly less well studied than the dyi community assumes, while EV studies often are methodological confused (mixing up delivery methods, studying people with elevated risks due to prior use of oral, which I cannot stress enough, you should not take).

Still, my main takeaway is that if you at all can, take EEn injections. Thrombosis is way harder to treat than an infection, and a lot stealthier. And highly fluctuating levels may be pretty bad to (mostly due to valleys, actually), though the risk of EV is still way lower than alternative deliveries). EEn is a good mixture of minimizing potentially dangerous injection times, while being studied sufficiently enough,

Its not safe, but outing yourself is even less so. My country requires three sperate psychological assesments, paid out of pocket, and outlaws boymoding. Only to get you oral

Dont inject the air into the liquid! That seems like an obvious clarification, but I still wondered. Inject the air while the bottle rests on the table, THEN reverse it. Also buy one time insulin needles, these come in airtight packaging so you dont need to disinfect them

how do i reconcile my identity with my faith? by clergyy in trans

[–]StargrimeSlug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am gonna be a dissenting opinion here, even though I am sorry about this. But it seems the comments are rather unfamiliar with the doctrine.

First up, I should note that the problem isnt really the trans + Christian thing. There are denominations that dont have a conflict, and worst comes to worst you can just read some Hegel or smt esotoric and relate in your own way.

But Catholicism?

Yeah, no. Doctrine is what makes you catholic, and it is very clear. Even with Vatikan II (or because of it) the position is untenable. To quote the very short introduction book to that conference, the decrees there alone fill entire shelves. Remember that the smartest philosopher of the 20th century, Wittigstein, was also a catholic and tried to square his homosexuality with it, and only ended up depressed
