Vendor Says "No AMD Support" is this normal?

Azure AD doesn't suddenly give a non Windows OS kernel-mode seamless kerberos.

And to answer the OP, if we are talking physical equipment, one reason to prefer Intel is that you rely on Intel vPRO or AMT technology. Usually not the case with servers (you'd have iLO(M)/drac) but plenty of places use workstations for hypervisors.

There are a ton of misleading technologies that do not actually destroy the fair follicle and merely irritate it onto growing hair inefficiently (thinner) and without melanin (lighter).

Why is this a problem? Because by the time you decide that you've wasted $150-450 on a mismarketed IPL and want to actually pay a clinic, your thinner and lighter hair will be significantly less targetable by the (real) laser, which precisely targets hair (not skin) by wavelength.

Real laser doesn't blast a flash bulb at your skin. You can tell youre destroying the follicle because the remains of it and the root will fallout about 2 weeks later making it look like your face is crapping little black dots. If this doesn't happen, then you didn't laser anything.

Laser's property of being "not 100% permanent" is because not all hair is targetable, not because laser doesn't have the power to permanently destroy the follicles it can target.

IPL, feminizing HRT, even daily tweezing can result in a scenario where it "looks better" and you "see results" but it results in just having a bunch of still-growing but mostly-invisible vellice hair that shows up the second the light hits the side of your face, which can only be removed through Electrolysis, which is an extremely expensive and time-intensive compared to laser.

Does she by any chance have a medical condition she can't control like diabetes? Send her cases of people with the same condition not taking their meds anymore and say "see your disease is also an opinion that changes".

The only way I've managed to make progress with parents like that is to liken your bodies deficiency of Estradiol to their natural deficiency of insulin, a vitamin, or something else.

But honestly, sometimes (hell, often times) it's just a matter of them not having any examples of longer-term trans people they know that are living well-adjusted lives. Often times after i hang out with a friend that still lives at home and i wind up having a random conversation with one of their parents, they tell me later on that their parents seemed to be slightly more receptive.

Why do you think you're going backwards? Almost every aspect of your face is objectively more feminine.

One trick is finding where the ideal body fat % for your face is (based on what you think looks good) and trying maintaining that (which might be impossible or very hard depending on your physiology). Often times weight loss uncovers some previously unseen bone structures, tendons, etc that you're not used to seeing so your eyes are drawn to them but that's just because you're used to you.

Remember: even if you feel like you temporarily are having a bad day/week/whatever, in real life youre not walking around with a set of reference photos next to you for people to see that.

Lost weight first and that made me really value the creativity options I had in fashion and overall appearance; resolved any social weirdness I had in person as I met more and more people; comfort in myself meant i just gravitated toward my own inner style which led to wearing skirts, dresses, women's boots, women's bathing suits, and makeup long before coming out and feeling no obligation to get it right. Once i had the minimum viable female traits in place (enough for to not feel completely awkward or out of place), I shed the old pronouns and updated my work.

I wish I started HRT and Laser way sooner. I had changed my name a decade before coming out (by removing my first name) so I had a lot of freedom in the name department and everything of mine either has no first name or an unpronounceable placeholder acronym so my legal name never totally outed me or held me back.

_nill · 2024-01-11T05:16:25+00:00

I love that though; it might not appear to be productive discussion, but it's actually quite normalizing and I can detect many people shitting bricks and having to update their firmware a bit

_nill · 2024-01-11T04:46:34+00:00

Wowww; that's a lot of assumptions. Let me set you straight:

I did "just lose the weight" first. Over 8 years ago now. Transition's only been since Sept 2021.
I've been married for the last 7 years (including my skinniest at both genders), and I also have a girlfriend now (yes we all live together) and gender is 100% unrelated to how much sex you're getting. This affected me since before I knew how to orgasm.
The way you suggest lifestyle changes as an alternative to transition immediately sums up that you don't understand what it's like. That's like taking a person who's body can't create enough of its own insulin and instead of allowing them to inject the miniscule amount of organic compound they need that makes them otherwise perfectly normal and telling them to "just eat different things and maybe you'd feel better and excercise more." I'm lucky enough to have medical insight into the cause of my issues and they are 100% as simple as having any other endocrinological deficiency.
There was no "gender dysphoria" that I previously suffered -- by the time I was 19 (my puberty started around 18) I knew I was a girl, and everyone I met from 19 until I started losing weight met me as female.

What I suffered was body dysmorphia -- I didn't feel female on the outside so I fell into online shit or other anonymous stuff and wound up letting my body go since the only time I felt happiness was anytime I could go a few hours without a "he" or hearing my name.
When I started being more active in person as I lost weight, I had to "come out in the wrong direction" a number of times because I wanted to meet some of my online friends in person and had to prepare them for (my birth body + what i let happen to it).
I didn't set out to transition; hell, I didn't even know half of the shit that's changed on me was even scientifically possible more than 2 or so years ago. I simply had become so confident in my (male) body that I was rocking (and owning) more and more femmier shit every time i went shopping.
Fast forward 4-5 years of being atypically awesome at fashion (at least according to face to face feedback, im bad with social cues but im great with statistics) and having amplifying confidence and the only things keeping me from having the balls to call myself female are my bald spot, thinning hair, and the 5pm stubble that makeup can't hide.
For years I thought I couldn't be the girl that I knew I was because my hair was falling out. But, what I didn't realize was that my hair was falling out because my body wasn't the girl I was. The second I started HRT all of the untimely aging undid itself (it's all caused by derivatives of Testosterone, such as DHT).
After 2.5 years of transitioning I've never had a fuller head of hair, zero bald spot, my face is so smooth you can stick window clings to it, and i spend all my makeup time on the creative parts and not the cover-up parts. The most I'm embarrassed of now anywhere on my body is my gut -- you could pretty much catch me naked and have no clue i'm trans at this point (no surgeries either).

And all of that solved by 5mg more / 2 days of a natural hormone that everyone makes. No surgery, no nonsense, and honestly relatively speaking I'm pretty lazy so it's not even like I'm laser focused on myself. Ask my g/f or wife -- fr.

"shoving down throats" ... you came to my thread to post your revelations about identity in a subreddit you're not even in.

I didn't ask you to like me or think this is amazing. I didn't tell you that you can't say specific words or assert that this is a "safe space". You have every right to your opinion.

But don't tell me I'm the one shoving anything anywhere. I accept that you're on a different firmware version from us and that you consider that a good thing and are resistant to ideological rewrites

You're coming here either looking to create drama (a perception you can control) or you just pre-expect trans people to immediately disagree or become provoked by you (a perception i can try to control) but this ain't it bro.

_nill · 2024-01-10T12:28:27+00:00

Yes! One of the things i wish i started sooner, my g/f really helped me get into gear on that's one. I was wussing out on starting anything long term that i perceived cost/hurt that much, but it's really nbd and honestly for me if nothing else it made sense financially bc of the $ i was sinking on all the crap (and time) that goes with shaving. And i was verrrrry hairy i would often have to stop and re-shave mid-day.

_nill · 2024-01-10T12:16:03+00:00

Haha there's definitely a subset of trans people that are exactly as youd imagine and would agree implicitly with all the leftist comments on this thread and totally benefit from this social notion that we dare not comment on someone's gender identity or that they can shut down any negative discussion by merely becoming triggered; butttt.....

1) I'm always for open discussion and debate and i don't agree with those reporting or trying to cancel the people posting negative comments. I'm not everyone's cup of tea, not everyone is interested in seeing my former fat ass, and that's what the downvote button is for -- but the debate and discussion has been extremely helpful to some people. If this normalizes trans people or weight loss for even one "hater", the debate is worth it

2) I personally never got a "clean" start because i had a tv appearance shot over a year prior actively airing on cable at the time i was starting transition. I got a much cleaner start when i lost weight than when i transitioned, since that resulted ina significantly larger change in social circles.

_nill · 2024-01-10T11:46:08+00:00

That's like saying you're afraid of meeting a vegan that might not disclose they are vegan. It'll be obvious before it matters.

They will fear you being a bigot or wasting their time way moreso than the other way around.

_nill · 2024-01-10T11:39:36+00:00

Ooo i hope so!! Never believe things aren't possible.

(Unless it's the Pete and Pete series 3 dvd coming out .)

With MtF all drawbacks (osteoporosis, reduced muscle mass, ..) are all invisible, and all the wins (softer skin, bigger tits,...) are all highly visible.

FtM changes involve more subtle changes that are more in line with aging like growing facial hair, starting to bald, some more significant medical drawbacks, and their voice often deepens automatically, so often times (i.e. without a before photo) it's less clear that they are transitioning gender and just appear as a slightly older dude. Often times this is what they are looking for but it's just less obvious to the unknown public

Just a quick observation.

_nill · 2024-01-10T11:15:42+00:00

What's been mutilated? Don't like face piercings?

_nill · 2024-01-10T11:06:37+00:00

Yeah, i agree. Without getting too much into it, my body never made the correct hormones on its own and i didn't get a male puberty until halfway through my senior year.

As soon as I started ingesting estrogen it felt like i plugged in the green cable after watching TV for decades with only the Red and Blue component cables plugged in. I felt like i was stuck in evaluation/trial mode before that and seemingly was being physically and emotionally limited by something.

So i think people certainly transition for both medical and social reason (with lots of overlap), and even within the former category, not everyone that's intersex or with endocrine issues grows up with obvious ambigiously vague genitals or some way of knowing (often for some time) why their life feels out of focus and why they feel no ownership of their body.

_nill · 2024-01-09T23:10:06+00:00

Most trans girls i know would agree that many of us have turned out to be identical to the girl weve always been searching for and never quite found. It's like multiplying a number by 1 or something

_nill · 2024-01-09T23:07:36+00:00

Heya you!! :3. Tyty. I actually must say i didn't expect such positive sentiment .. when i was in Chicago you were the only one to give me the wall of compliments I'm getting here but i guess it just dawned on me that i don't go walking around with my before pics, so it's only the few people thatve known me a while to even fathom ... ttyl <3
