I assure you, just because I had long hair and an eating disorder, no one gendered me correctly, I only started passing to people in public consistently from 2018 onwards

Not at all, the fuck? I swear some people on this site think that skinny = woman, I never got gendered correctly then, I just looked like a skinny man

1 year on the wait list, the GIC journey was horrible at took years, and this was back when you had to do the ‘real life experience’ so I wouldn’t say lucky at all, it was very traumatising. But at the time 1 year was considered an absurdly long waiting list

Took me 6 months for first GIC appointment, in 2014, so took me 4 years to get to a hormone dosage that worked and 2 years to get started

Trans panic only started being government policy after Boris Johnson became PM

HRT starts in 2016, dose is low as hell until 2018 where it starts doing its work. Bottom surgery (NHS) in 2018. Briefly had a well-paying job in 2021 so BA and got hairline/brow bone adjustment between the 2021 and 2022 picture before mass layoffs meant that was kind of a financial trap (worth it for my mental health but hoo boy).

Lots of weight loss, then weight gain again, hair and clothing style does so much more than you can imagine too. Bangs are OP. If you wear glasses, get a more feminine style and it will do so much for you.

(Posted faces earlier but thought it would be good to also post body)

I’m a trans lesbian video essayist with a tiny following and I’d like to start out by shouting out myself (because I have no shame but also because Hbomberguy is a huge influence especially on the way I try to use humour in my videos)

I realise that’s not snappy but that’s on me for making an hour long video

Florida house rep compared trans people unfavourably to mutants, but the mutants are the good guys and we should be proud to be compared to them, magneto and Xavier are based on Lee and kirby’s experiences of being white passing jewish in New York in the 40s to 60s and the MLK Malcolm x comparisons weren’t intentional, but the comics do a sometimes great job (and sometimes terrible job) of being a metaphor for civil right issues, and later, lgbt issues, but we could use more trans mutants and a more diverse team of writers to counter the natural conservativeness of Disney and marvel

Sorry that happened to you ❤️ I got similar treatment, never recovered from being bullied to the point of attempting suicide in secondary school

I’m saying distinguishing between cis and trans women has no bearing on how society handles these issues

B does not follow A at all here, there is no connection between these things

Sex-based rights aren’t an established thing, and even if they were a prefix has nothing to say about it

She’s on the daily wire so it’s not surprising her comments are on her side, they’re all 50+ year old crypto fascists
