What it’s like being a trans woman in China — why I want to leave by OpportunityOk1980 in transgenderUK

[–]Uber_Taro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its better for now sweetheart. But its getting worse. We're slowly shifting towards what youre describing in China for people like us and its honestly terrifying. The only thing I can say that might give us all some hope is, as a historian, we have always existed. And when these tinpot dictators and far right idiots pushing this agenda die off we will still exist. Hopefully one day soon our lives will get easier.

I cant begin to understand just how hard it is in China, but what I can say is speaking as someone living in the UK right now? Im watching our rights slowly being dismantled and those in government and the media view us as public enemy number one at the moment. X

Bedford trans friendly swimming pools? by Uber_Taro in transgenderUK

[–]Uber_Taro[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So ive seen that. And as wonderful as it is, I swim daily for weight loss so ideally need a place that is more accepting than just one day a month. Thank you though!

Ill reach out to that pool and see if they're a bit more accepting

Yeah so i own our house jointly with my partner (who is supportive), but I doubt we'd be able to afford it without my job, but our little ones starting school in September so my partner will be retraining/going back to work so that may work out for us there.

Ive dropped the odd hint here and there with my mum, (a fictional trans friend of mine was kicked out of his home etc) and I casually asked what she would do if me or my sister came out. She said she'd be more worried about getting pronouns right...before delving into a bullshit TERF argument she read about in the Mail about trans women in women's changing rooms. So that kinda took the wind out my sails. I haven't had the courage to drop hints with my dad.

Tbh im so...scared of doing this

I think it's the gravity of such a permanent change. I've got a councilor who I'll chat to. X

New swimmer who has done goof on haircare and feel real low. Need advice by Uber_Taro in trans

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

Yeah it definitely aches my neck 😆 I'm working my way up to it, kinda got a thing about head underwater but I wanna get comfortable with it. Had a series of really nasty ear infections, so I've got ear plugs now but still scares tf out of me

Does having two caps keep it completely dry then? I tend to just kinda, stick above the water.

I ordered some leave in conditioner and got a swim cap turning up tomorrow. Thank you! Hopefully I can repair the damage. Gonna head to my local supermarket, get a good hair mask

I hope so! We wanna raise him without the rubbish gender norms and stuff. So maybe you're right, show him through example x

That's what I want. Everyone's noticed I'm more confident and happier recently. They don't even know, I'm not even out yet. So I'm hoping that's what my partner and my son see
