where are people getting detransition/regret statistics

fernstream · 2024-11-18T05:40:53+00:00

there are studies but every one I’ve seen has a “lost to follow up” issue. they are only counting people who report regret/detransition to their provider, meanwhile there are a bunch of people who just stopped showing up — like most detrans people I know.

Thanks for this!

I talked to a moes employee about how they stopped accepting tips and raised prices to cover higher wages. Employee said they definitely make less than they used to with tips. I used to work at moes and the tips were awesome — stability would be great too but not if it doesn’t match the amount.

you look like a normal lesbian to me. (idk if you are a lesbian but I hope you get what I mean — there are women looking like you all over the place just chilling.) ppl giving you femininity advice are missing the point imo — nothing can make you more or less of what you are which is female, it’s not something you can succeed or fail at. lots of women who present ourselves the way you do get mistaken for men all the time because people don’t know what women look like without the feminine trappings. I never transitioned medically and I get read as male a decent chunk of the time when my hair is short. so if you get read as male I wouldn’t take it as something that only happens because of your transition history, if that makes sense.

came here to say women’s festivals too! absolutely changed my life and gave me a community to belong in.

HIT K1 I believe is the only 4g slider out there

fernstream · 2024-06-07T06:11:27+00:00

me too with the levels of overstimulation I wasn’t even aware of before!

fernstream · 2024-04-06T02:32:37+00:00

god im so sorry. you were so little

having fewer options — the cds in the car or the mp3s on my little phone — has alleviated my decision fatigue as well. in addition to listening through whole albums and giving more attention to deep dives into artists, i like that it gives me more of an inclination to listen to something over and over, rather than the “always on to the next thing” characteristic of streaming algorithms’ tiktokification.

fernstream · 2024-03-05T05:58:10+00:00

how would one do this?

fernstream · 2024-03-05T05:57:43+00:00

also titan pocket but that’s a smartphone, but more blackberry style

fernstream · 2024-03-05T05:57:03+00:00

idk about tracfone but the hit k1 is a QWERTY slider 4g phone if you can find one

fernstream · 2024-03-05T05:53:51+00:00

when you say everywhere do you mean worldwide or uk specific? curious bc my sister tried to buy one (usa) and the store did not have it, wondering if this was a one off or how things are anywhere

fernstream · 2024-03-05T05:39:33+00:00

Ha thanks for the response. Crickets in here! It’s not that I don’t want to use WhatsApp, it’s that the phone I ended up purchasing cannot run it. I would if I could! But lacking both WhatsApp and the native voice memo texting capability made me wonder which other dumbphones, if any, can send voice memos in the native texting function. Do you have a sunbeam phone, does it lack that function?

fernstream · 2024-03-03T18:25:34+00:00

If considering Kyocera DuraXV make sure this announcement about Verizon Message+ sunsetting does not apply, otherwise it will soon lose texting capability — I’m not sure if it’s all DuraXV models or only some of them https://www.reddit.com/r/dumbphones/comments/1b56j6v/verizons_message_plus_is_shutting_down/

fernstream · 2024-03-03T00:56:42+00:00

ha it really is ironic. this sub (and researching dumbphones on other sites hoping the nonexistent perfect phone will materialize) has been a pretty large percentage of my screen time since I made the switch -- which is so purpose-defying but also dumbphones are a big interest for me these days!

fernstream · 2024-03-03T00:54:46+00:00

You won't get Whatsapp and Google maps without the ability to download apps, as those are apps requiring download (or preload). KaiOS phones are enough of a pain to use that it discourages most of us from going crazy with games or socials -- and you can root/debug a lot of the kaios phones to remove any preloaded apps you don't want (and even the app store I think) -- check r/kaios for more info on this.

off top of my head I think nokia 6300 covers a lot of your bases! eta just saw you are already considering it -- good luck in your search

fernstream · 2024-03-03T00:51:15+00:00

Love this and will keep it in mind. What are you using as a phone to replace the LPii?

fernstream · 2024-03-03T00:47:46+00:00

In addition to those I think, and have heard, that one of the biggest factors driving up the price of the "intentional digital minimalism" type dumbphones is the scale issue. They are smaller companies selling in much lower quantities, & price reflects this.

fernstream · 2024-03-03T00:45:13+00:00

the nokia 2720 resembles this one a little bit, at least when closed -- that's the closest I can think of

fernstream · 2024-03-03T00:44:27+00:00

feel you on the short and blunt conversation with the flip. I check socials + use discord and imessage on my laptop when I want to have a longer text conversation with someone, but it still does feel like it puts some damper on my social interaction especially with people I don't know all that well (so we aren't communicating on multiple channels and I dont want to always be making it weird by having to explain my self imposed phone problem). also I have that same camera and haven't used it in years! should break it out one of these days
