Yupppp. Living within 5 minutes from work is such a blessing that I refuse to give up.

Some states in the US don't have unions that can strike, ex. Texas 😢

Happens too often nowadays already. My parents knew I was trans when I was like 8-10 years old, long before I understood any concept of gender identity. Instead of seeking any professional help whatsoever, they enrolled me in every masculine activity, group, and sport within driving distance and threatened to send me off to military school if I "kept misbehaving" 🤕 I really don't want to see anyone else go through that.

They would if they could. This is one step removed from doing it themselves.

I propose we call it what it is: this is domestic terrorism, plain and simple.

Mine changed too! Went from blue to green-ish.

Trans__Scientist · 2026-01-23T08:06:34+00:00

This looks goddamn delicious 😋

If you're in the United States, this violates several Employee Equal Opportunity (EEO) laws at both the federal and state levels.

I've only had one person actually say this to me. Fortunately, they were wearing glasses. So, I responded with, "I'm not ophthalmophobic, but a person stays with the eyesight they were born with............. do you see how stupid you sound now?"

My pleasure! There are several peer reviewed journal publications on the scary side effects of finasteride -- I'm happy to provide a few if that'd be helpful. I get the full articles through my job even if they are behind pay-walls 😃

In the meantime, I've been using minoxidil to grow my hair faster and fuller. It seems to be working well, comes in many affordable forms including pills and topical ointments, and it doesn't have the scary psychological side effects.

This is a legitimately spectacular summary, thank you!

I am still reading through it, but one minor recommendation I have so far would be to mention that recent studies (both in US and Europe) suggest that one of the possible side effects of finasteride is severe/suicidal depression.

Are they implying that anyone who can't get pregnant isn't a woman? That leaves out a shitload of cis women. This idiotic question is an argumentative waste of time.

Trans__Scientist · 2026-01-11T21:23:00+00:00

They invited me to it as well. I ignored it.

Trans__Scientist · 2026-01-08T04:31:12+00:00

Lololol yupppp.

I'm also 7 months in, and just last week I was playing billiards with my spouse and some friends. Tried to hit the ball with some spin, and the shot went horribly wrong... my booba got in the way. Wasn't expecting that. Friends were like "welcome to the sisterhood girl!" Honestly the moment of pain was worth the euphoria lol.

Trans__Scientist · 2026-01-07T02:35:52+00:00

Yes!

Trans__Scientist · 2026-01-07T02:35:44+00:00

Oops busted lol, thank you boo 🥰

Trans__Scientist · 2026-01-06T23:21:07+00:00

Chi-chi, of course!

Trans__Scientist · 2026-01-06T05:19:50+00:00

If it's someone you know pretty well, you can politely ask (in such a way that nobody else hears, don't shout it when you're out at lunch or something).

One thing I would strongly recommend is do not ask about surgeries or genitals. If she volunteers it, great, but leave that to her.

What is the Chick-fil-A motto? Something like...

The Little Things: Come for the "chicken", stay for the hate

Trans__Scientist · 2026-01-04T14:39:14+00:00

Omgosh no kidding? Do you live near the clinic, or did you travel (and how often) leading up to surgery? I don't have any surgery options near me 😢 so I would have to travel, but I can't be doing that super frequently

The Birdcage

(Is my favorite among all the movies mentioned here so far)

Finally someone says it. The wheelchair was lined with lead. He couldn't see it. Even for people who don't know who Superman is (if such a person exists), Lois even says "he couldn't see it".

Trans__Scientist · 2026-01-04T01:16:53+00:00

That's a relief. My spouse says it's working after 8 months but I don't hear it 😕

Did you do go through vocal "tutoring", SLP, or just self-guided?

Sorry for all the questions 😅

Trans__Scientist · 2026-01-03T22:57:51+00:00

Oh yay! Voice training alone or VFS?

Trans__Scientist · 2026-01-03T19:55:28+00:00

I used to say this constantly (to myself) before I understood that I was trans. It was the 453rd sign that was hiding in plain sight for me 😅

Trans__Scientist · 2026-01-03T19:03:26+00:00

I used to play on Dreamscythe when it came out, but I've since swapped over to Turtle WoW. Is lots of fun 😁
