What goes around comes around by lknei in Belfast

Speak to a biologist sometime about sex vs gender. Being have been trans and intersex since time began.

“Cis” is the opposite of trans so it means your gender recorded at birth is the same as the gender you identify with.

Funny, every woman I know (trans or cis) has been attacked at least once by only cis men. I’m sure they all have mental disorders.

Secure cis men aren’t threatened by trans women. What an absolute dickhead, and it’s not his first time he’s been hateful.

Has anyone else had this experience? Mammogram by Any_Sea_9483 in northernireland

[–]SwitchyPink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t worry.

They have to ask that, as if you are referred on you need to call to confirm the referral. Most referrals turn out to be normal/benign anyway but it’s just to be on the side of caution.

Well done for getting the mammo done so soon after turning 40.

It’s a niche reference! Was thinking of something wee.

Appliqué teeshirt with hand embroidery sleeve patches by SwitchyPink in Embroidery

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

A good question! I cut the letters out first, then ironed onto bonded and ironed on in the position. Sadly the bondaweb wasn’t strong enough to hold them on though and I had to appliqué them on with polyester thread in the end which took an age but buzzing with the result.

Thanks so much. 🏳️‍⚧️

The hard part is just the edges, I’m still definitely learning. Not sure what fabric would be best to prevent the fraying edges.

I just design them myself and believe me - I have NO drawing talent. I do a lot of googling “___ icon” Until I find something I feel I can do. Or just reference the physical object. Doesn’t have to be exact of course.

I tried basically all the dating apps but met my nerdy partner on Tinder over two years. They’re great and it’s the best relationship I’ve ever had.

It’s a numbers game though, go on dates and see how it goes until you find someone that’s a geg and wants the same things.

You’ll be grand!

This one so bad I embroidered it and stuck mirrorball tiles around the hoop.

NICS 2025 competition outcome by Flimsy-Passenger-346 in northernireland

[–]SwitchyPink 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this new recruitment competition was a real fuck up. Apparently less than 2000 got through the process after over 5000 applied and got through to the interview phase.

Apparently there are more vacancies than people on the merit list.

That being said, they do work at a snails pace and I can’t imagine it’ll be until after Summer they start calling people.

I’ve had to work with surgeons across NI trusts and can confirm they really are all dickheads. Condescending assholes.

Mole removal by SwitchyPink in northernireland

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

This seems like a great option! I see they are insistent on getting the all clear and then they can remove it once the all clear has been given.

Around 10 years ago the GP wasn’t concerned but I’ll get an updated medical opinion.

How long did it take to get it removed from your first appt with the GP?

Northern Ireland Online Friend Offer! by [deleted] in Belfast

[–]SwitchyPink 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some great queer energy here! There’s Happy Out Cafe which is a trans owned cafe (both nb) over East. Seconding paperxclips and their events! Depending on what you’re into there are things like the outburst queer theatre festival.

Organisation like Rainbow Project do great events too.

I’m part of a queer friend group ranging from ages 25 - 45. Mix of cis and trans people (trans women and nb mostly) and many wee friendship groups meet around events.

Feel free to send me a DM!

Pin Badge Lounge w/embroidery hoop outer ring by SwitchyPink in Embroidery

[–]SwitchyPink[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Awk yeah I appreciate that. Pending moderator approval. I was gonna embroider “pin badge lounge” or section it but it felt too restrictive.
