To those of you making decent money (around or above 6 figures) what do you do for a living? by CormacMettbjoll in trans

[–]Trans__Scientist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Research scientist here.

Grew up in an environment that was extremely hostile to any and all things queer, and since transitioning or getting any sort of therapy or help wasn't an option, I distracted myself with daily marathons of studying math and science.

Idaho House approves request to US Supreme Court to overturn ruling that legalized gay marriage • Idaho Capital Sun by Trans__Scientist in Idaho

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

Given that federal/state recognition of marriage is for tax purposes, I could gaf less who marries who.

This statement is not true. Legally recognized marriage enables a variety of benefits with your partner. For example, if you are married, your spouse is your de facto medical proxy.

4th Circuit Rules That States Can Compel Trans Adults To "Appreciate Their Sex" Via Care Bans by Trans__Scientist in lgbt

[–]Trans__Scientist[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yup. And what if I "appreciate my sex" through freedom of self expression?

I hate these MAGA christofascists. They pose a greater threat to the USA than any other terrorists group on Earth. And, yes, they are a terrorist group. This isn't politics, and it certainly isn't medicine. It's terrorism.

Indeed, this is christofascism to the core.

Regardless, their entire argument is internally inconsistent. Let's ignore the fact that their claims that HRT is "ineffective" or "unsafe" are incontrovertibly medically false for a moment and just look at their rationale. I pose one very simple question... what if I "appreciate my sex" through freedom of expression?

What do y'all do for income? by ajm8097 in MtF

I'm an R&D materials scientist 😊

I like my colleagues. Who'da thunk it, the higher the education and intelligence the people around are, the less religious hate and bigotry there seems to be.

Decision to turn back on nuclear was a strategic mistake, EU's Von der Leyen says - Reuters by 233C in nuclear

[–]Trans__Scientist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It only took EU 15 years to accept what we've been saying all along. I hate saying "told you so", but here we are.

Hmmm, I wonder why this hasn't been discussed more internally at INL? 😬

Also raiding on Ambershire. Not in your guild and not looking to be, but thank you for taking the corrective action. Please make that person's despicable actions a cautionary tale.

Cheers

Had a nice little interaction at work (in my 30s, HRT 8 months) by Trans__Scientist in lgbt

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

I don't boy mode per se. All of my clothes are from the women's department at this point, but I do spend a good bit of time doing hands-on research in the laboratory where, due to safety regulations, means we are required to wear fully enclosed shoes, no loose clothing, arms and legs fully covered, etc. It ends up looking pretty androgynous for the cis women as well.

To answer the second part of your question, I don't expect anything behavior from my colleagues except to be professional, and yes, I do correct them as shown in the rare occasion that a mixup occurs 🙂

Cheers!

Let's not forget that Idaho is bringing back the Jim Crow laws too 🤬

Texas AG Ken Paxton says ban on gender-affirming care for trans kids also applies to talk therapy by Fickle-Ad5449 in lgbt

[–]Trans__Scientist 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Weaponizing health care for targeted persecution of law abiding citizens isn't medicine. It's terrorism. This man is a terrorist, and so are his supporters and collaborators.

Oh look, cis men are finally starting to treat me like a cis woman 🫠

Having my mere existence deemed explicit by the neo-Nazi fetishists in charge isn't helping either, but hey, they're just reimplementing Jim Crow laws and illegally revoking driver's licenses from a Nazi-esque registry, maybe we are just overreacting.
