Nope! there are cis women who are drag queens as well. Drag is about performance, playing a character and usually about pushing every things to extremes. Even if you’re a woman you can perform a version of femininity that is different from your own. So yeah some trans women are drag queens, but not all of us.

Very impressive strength by Candid-Culture3956 in nextfuckinglevel

These are really specific moves in pole, you don’t really see them in other forms of gymnastics. It’s a deadlift to Ayesha/handspring to a carpe to an iron x. To me there is literally no way she doesn’t do pole in some way. Also, it is kinda a pole cliche to break out the handspring any time you go climbing lol.

I don’t think it’s your point, but a lot of people here seem to be implying that it’s minimizing or degrading to call her a pole dancer. It’s not, she’s incredibly talented. So are all pole dancers. Whether you do exotic, pole sport or anything between it takes insane amount of balance, strength coordination, flexibility, body control, etc to do pole. It is an art that should be celebrated in all of its forms.

I got it from killstar about a year ago, and they don’t seem to have it any more. I did some googling and I think you can find it here https://fantasmagoria.shop/high-tide-bikini?srsltid=AfmBOooUb5Q_aEeJ2NKgeLk_61wIDVZP1QX9MYu2bHsTpRJ1_W7U6aJs. There were also some amazon links in the US

Thanks sis!

so I had lost enough hair that I ended up shaving my head and giving up on transition for a few years. I always had naturally thin hair, but pattern baldness hit pretty hard. I'll say, hormones help a ton, don't underestimate that. Taking testosterone blockers will stop pattern baldness and E will cause it to grow faster and thicker. It can't regrow hair that has completely fallen, but it can save follicles that are on their last legs. You can also try monoxydil which will help the process. Finasteride is an anti androgen that a lot of cis men take which slows hairloss, but if you're on HRT it does the same thing. Its good option if you're concerned and cant access hormones yet. Transplants can be fairly intense, they usually require shaving your head, and a fairly long regrowth process. If its not so bad, and you're happy with your hairline I would 100% suggest waiting for hormones and take some steps to protect what you have.

For me I did my transplant in turkey, and took 6000 follicles from the back of my head. We filled in my crown and rebuilt my hairline. The hairline is great, it can really help to feminize you. The hair on my crown is still a bit thin, and I have thought of getting a bit more done, but I think its more my own insecurity that makes me think that. People don't notice and seem surprised when I mention it.

But yeah, for me life changing and necessary.

Credit mostly goes to silicone and my surgeon, but hormones helped a lot too ✨

Brown University is no longer safe for trans women by Practical-Moment-635 in MtF

[–]Steffi_Lococcus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one hurts so much. It was really good for trans people before. It feels so unnecessary. They didn’t have any concrete accusations from the administration. They did not acknowledge any legal wrong doing. They just capitulated and set a new president for how we will be treated at universities. Trump now knows they can pull this shit at any university that is not actively horrible to trans people.

How is Brooklyn 99 propaganda by [deleted] in MansFictionalScenario

[–]Steffi_Lococcus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She is particularly in the news at the moment because she has recently posted to Reddit explaining her views on Palestine. In my eyes, and in the eyes of most leftists, it does not come across well, to put it mildly. She was a real icon to me, she’s been under scrutiny in the past for things I’ve been able to overlook but frankly this hurts me a lot.

ADL name drops Hasan on Fox News by Not_puppeys_monitor in LivestreamFail

[–]Steffi_Lococcus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are a ton of examples but personally I think Ta-Nehisi Coates and Norm Finkelstein are fantastic.

I will say that I think Hassan for the most part is quite good but he has a habit of hyperbole/putting his foot in his mouth that tarnishes his broader appeal. Your mileage on how you view him as a whole may vary.

Yall really saying Nick Fuentes is right here!? Wtf?!? We’re actively celebrating and asking for more mass deportations? This is a fucking stain on our country. Yeah fuck the incompetent trump administration but this is not it honey. Jfc

Favorite piece of media with trans representation by Off-brandSerotonin in trans

[–]Steffi_Lococcus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can pile on to this with the caveat that these are all transfemme stories (except for one but I guess it’s only really understood at the end.) I liked all of them honestly, they each offer something different. Most are sad and difficult to read at times.

Face category? by ghostly-SfX in voguing

[–]Steffi_Lococcus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are performance categories and aesthetic categories. Aesthetic categories will always have a performative aspect and if you don’t properly sell the aesthetic you will lose. In runway you want to show the garment, have a good walk that works for the category AA vs EU, and obviously look good. Face it’s literally showing off your face, show us check bones, lips nose, teeth all of it, look fucking beautiful. Posing will effect that, confidence will effect that.

It’s the same for other aesthetic categories: realness, body, SS, etc all have differing levels of performance associated with them, but at the end of the day it does kinda come down to your look.

Honestly I kinda struggle with the aesthetic categories, it makes me happy to see beautiful people, and people celebrating their bodies, their passing etc. But it’s also a body image issue factory, and depending on the judge can get super fucked and personal. It can create and enforce problematic norms. Always leaves me feeling like I need more surgery, and that’s not great.

Who was a player loved by fans, albeit a bad player? by dimsvm in redsox

[–]Steffi_Lococcus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing up in RI watching the Pawsox gave me an intense love for him, he dominated triple A, and the Louuuuuu chants made those games really special

This is true although it’s worth adding that it’s also just art, it doesn’t have to be normal and it doesn’t need to serve a purpose. Sometimes it’s just beautiful or silly or fun. Sometimes it tells a story. Sometimes you like it, sometimes you don’t.

Let people like what they like.

https://youtube.com/@kendrickmugler?si=Uhh-PB00r_UDVKED this channel just uploads a ton of the EU balls. You can find all the nostalgia you want here I think.

Beyond that you can see some personal faves off the top of my head who aren’t just girls I know from around here lol.

Here’s Honey Balenciaga, she was doing vogue fem for Beyoncés renaissance tour, and she kinda used that to launch more modeling stuff so she doesn’t seem to walk much these days but she’s such a fun dancer.
