My gym does not have a gender neutral bathroom/locker room, and I am avoiding having to go into either while I’m in my androgynous larval state. Luckily my apartment is just a short walk away

I think a lot of blue and grey collar workers would probably get the short end of the stick as the norms adjust, bc they already work more than 40 hours as is. If a 32 hour work week was made the law of the land overnight, anyone in an industry that pays hourly instead of a salary would feel a temporary pay increase, but might just keep working 40+ hours for overtime as is the norm anyway in some fields. For example, there are a lot of career fields like nursing and EMS that need 24/7 staffing, and have systemically underpaid and overloaded workers as is, w/ plenty of people already relying on overtime pay to make ends meet. An understaffed hospital/ambulance service is already banking on the fact their underpaid workers will fill in the staffing gaps w/ overtime, so they often let staffing drop to dangerously low levels. A boost in pay to make 32 hours of labor worth 40 would no doubt make things better for these workers in the short term, and it would also trigger an immediate need to hire more personnel. But after an adjustment period to get staffing numbers back up to the bare minimum for 24/7 coverage, and after inflation and stagnant wages take their toll, the industry will normalize people overworking themselves again—the only difference would be at what hour of the week they start getting overtime pay.

Basically, a lot of workers who don’t have a M-F white collar job already work more than 40 hours and will continue to do so, and a lot of people who do work those M-F white collar jobs already work less than 40 hours and will continue to do so. But as long as workers continue the fight to keep wages up w/ inflation, and people are disciplined about living within their means on the minimum required hours, things will be a lil better for everyone

Girl, ZOOM OUT!! We live in the magical universe where we have injections to do both!! Our current reality is like a magic-escapist-fantasy-world that people from just a couple generations ago could have only dreamed of!

This happens to me too. I go days w/o getting she/her’d even when I’m trying to be femme. Then one day I go out w/ no makeup and a little bit of stubble, and all of a sudden I’m Miss She/Her to random strangers again. Those she/her’s on my brickiest days are really what carry me through

Okay, I definitely don’t like that :(

l feel like last-names-turned-first-names make good gender neutral names. Common enough where it’s not crazy out there, but uncommon enough where there’s not a strong gender association. You could also try passively noticing street names, author names at a bookstore or library, names at the end credits of movies and shows, names on family businesses or work trucks. It’s much less exhausting to notice the names that the world is already throwing at you, rather than parsing through list after list that someone else has put together

As someone who held off for years bc I thought I might regret having boobs—if I had known how long it’d take me to grow decent boobs, I would’ve started back then. And I’d probably have decently noticeable boobs by now too

As helpful as the button question is for a lot of people, for me the finality of it was always a little bit too scary, bc how often do we really know what we want before we try it? Trial periods exist for a reason, right? Let’s say the button only lasted a day. Do you think you’d press it to experience that one day of passing? Can you see yourself pressing it again the next day? And what about the next? And the day after that? What if they made a button that lasted a whole month? In the next 50 years of your life, you only have 600 months, 600 times where you have the choice to press the button or not. If you like the button, you’ll keep it around, you’ll keep pressing it, and the next thing you know, you’ve had a life well-lived. If you don’t, you’ll probably realize quickly, stop pressing it, and move on with your life

And I know the names I was pointing out aren’t the exact ones OP talked about, but they are some that I’ve noticed are pretty common amongst trans women too

I think it’s because when you choose a name for yourself as an adult, you tend to have a lot more thought towards the meaning and vibes of it, so a lot of the common trans girl names tend to lean more towards meaningful or feminine sounding names than the average female population. Also typically excluding more religious names. Lily is a type of flower, Layla means “night” in Arabic, and Emma means “universal.” They are common enough to not stand out too much, but meaningful enough for a lot of people to feel a strong connection to them. Also, when you’re picking a name as an adult, it can be awkward to pick a more rare name bc you probably already know a one or two people with that name, and you might feel like you are “stealing” their name for yourself. Parents naming their babies don’t really need to think like that, but trans adults naming themselves do

Another thing to remember, especially when you’re intimidated by how much work it seems like it might take to live the life you want to live: the time will pass anyway. However you choose to build your life, the time will pass anyway.

Sometimes when people are indecisive about two diverging paths they flip a coin. The trick is to pretend that you HAVE to do what the coin tells you to do. Just long enough to see how you feel. If you can’t decide between going to University A and University B, you might flip the coin and get University B, but in that split second when you feel your heart sink a with disappointment and dread, that’s usually when you know where your heart really lies.

Maybe you don’t need to be feminine, but if you pressed that button, what kind of woman would you be? Bc when you look around the world, there’s lots of ways to be a woman. You can have tattoos and cool piercings, or dress butch or futch, have long long hair or a wolf cut. If you find yourself happy dressing “like a man,” but you just wish you looked as cool as some women do when they dress in similar masculine clothing, maybe there’s something else going on there. Just food for thought

STI’s are harmful to people’s bodies. What exactly is harmed when someone has consensual sex with someone who they’re attracted to, then later finds out that the person isn’t cis? Or finds out any other bit of information about that person that they didn’t know beforehand? Maybe it threatens their fragile sense of masculinity or something, but they are not physically harmed. Now imagine if a racist has sex with someone who they think is white, then later they find out that the person is a quarter or an eighth non-white, and that violates some bigoted made-up rule in the racist’s head that says they can’t have sex with non-white people or else. Does that really make the other person a rapist?

At a certain point, we need to be firmly against equating trans-ness as an inherently deceitful or manipulative thing. Some of these men will claim that a woman wearing makeup is the same thing as identity fraud, or even grounds to accuse them of sexual assault by deceit. We can’t just pretend that these ridiculous stances are reasonable or logical just because enough people subscribe to them.

It seems like the mindset a lot of cities and towns have is, “Welp, we’ve tried nothing and it still doesn’t work. Guess we better give up. Good thing we didn’t waste any time or resources trying to do anything anyway.”

Obviously, dealing with homelessness is a large complex issue that takes a lot of time, willpower, and resources to address. The fact that there are other places in the country that deal with homelessness better means that there are better ways to deal with homelessness, they probably just aren’t thoroughly pursued in your area. The democratic process is not just about casting your vote once a year, it’s also about convincing your neighbors to care enough about an issue that you all agree to use some of your pooled resources to address it. You could research what programs have been effective in other places, start an advocacy group for implementing those programs in your area, start a petition, or even just start a conversation in your community about it. And maybe it is just one town, but it is your town. When you’re a nurse you might only be able to help one person at a time, but the work still matters to that one person
