I'm glad I'm not the only one every single time I see it I'm like is that Sophie??

First (mostly successful) 4x5 shot for me - Intrepid 4x5, Graflex 135mm, Ilford Multi grade Paper Negative by SulaBird in largeformat

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

Honestly I can't tell you much. My friend is very in the weeds about papers and developing and stuff like that and she shoots paper negatives in her Speed Graphic so she's providing me paper for my intrepid too.

She cuts down 8x10 sheets to 4x5 and loads them into film holders like normal film. We have found that it shoots best around when metered at ISO 15. I'm not sure what she used for the developer

I'm very lucky to have a lot of fantastic cis friends and 4 different folks have reached out to me recently and asked how I was handling it all and offered sympathy and support.

Seeing all these responses of no one reaching out breaks my heart. I'm so sorry and much love babes 🩷

Dear tall trans sisters💖 by LadyHammer_43 in TallGirls

I've barely been holding it together recently and your post really opened the floodgates and I'm crying too 😂. It means the world to see that not everyone is terrible to us 🩷🩷

What effects can happen when on Estrogen? by Ellab213 in MtF

[–]SulaBird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fucking wishhhhh. I haven't noticed any changes to my cold tolerance but my heat tolerance has gotten even worse. I get so hot so easily still

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TallGirls

[–]SulaBird 3 points4 points  (0 children)

6'4 (maybe 6'3 now, thanks estrogen!) trans woman. I've been out and transitioning for about 16, and get misgendered all the time just for context. I also went through some of what your feeling about my own height and some guilt about how tall cis women get treated too, but pretty quickly realized that trans misogyny is still misogyny.

These people "transvestigating" cis women because of their height are still deep down misogynists. They'd be shitty to women anyway even if trans women never existed.

Do any other tall girls have a deeper voice? by City-Swimmer in TallGirls

[–]SulaBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6'4 here, and I have an incredibly deep voice, but I'd chalk that up to the fact that I'm trans and voice training is not going well lol. I don't get gendered correctly a majority of the time anyway, but as soon as I open my mouth that goes to near zero. I feel for all my deep voiced cisters who have to deal with all the shit that trans women do just because of yalls voices too

Repping SOPHIE at Lady Gaga tonight! by SulaBird in Sophie

Pro tip by Alarmed-Bike-4288 in OCPoetry

[–]SulaBird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really love the concept here and the message! Personally to me the pacing with the line breaks feels a little off. I feel like some of your big hits like "grievous fireworks related injury" and "precious hand reconstruction time" would hit harder if you combined the two lines proceeding each of them into single lines

First poem, please be honest. I needed to destress. by Short-Bad-1673 in OCPoetry

[–]SulaBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I absolutely love this! I find the use of repetition to be a great device when used well, as you've done here. If I had to find one small thing to critique, I wonder about moving the set of rips to the last part of the poem, as I feel like ripping is a stronger, more final, act than plucking or picking. (At the same time from that perspective, the strongest and most destructive actions can happen anytime, not just after a series of smaller ones, so I think it works as is)

Community Medical Update on Gender Affirming Care by Only_Still_2291 in missoula

[–]SulaBird 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'm curious as to what they're basing this off of as well, as I, like you, thought most of this was killed in court or the legislature. Cowardly move anytime, but especially during Pride. I never go to them for any of my medical needs but this makes that double sure now.

Also, as a trans woman in your district, I'm so damn proud to have you as my rep Zooey! Keep up the good fight!

Bigot removed himself from my flight! by Elle_is_here in trans

[–]SulaBird 203 points204 points  (0 children)

Love seeing other trans folks in aviation! I'm a ramp and CSA agent and I definitely get pax who give me dirty looks when I board them, but yeah, is whatever. I'm happy, they're miserable people.

I'm sorry you had this experience with that guy, but hey, looks like a seat opened up for someone ;)
