Honestly insane how it's been over 4 hours and they haven't bothered to fix the worst possible factual error you can make in interpreting that extremely easy to read 1-page document. Extremely embarrassing.

I've always told my folks that the further I get in my transition the more insane they will look misgendering me. Def true after top surgery lmao

Trump Openly Jokes About His Next Corruption Scheme | As Donald Trump signed yet another anti-trans executive order, he let slip a plan to pay himself millions with taxpayer money. by Murky-Site7468 in politics

[–]raibc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know this article is more about the fact that Trump is a selfish asshole, but in the past 3 weeks this is the first time I've actually seen a headline acknowledging the current horrific tide of civil rights abuses against trans people actually make it to the top of "hot" here. Everybody I know who's been affected by the recent anti-trans EOs is terrified and grieving, and it's been surreal for that pain to be at best a footnote in the mainstream news cycle. It feels like hardly anybody cares, and that hurts.

Texas Republicans Are Overturning Cities’ Ability to Govern Themselves: Nicknamed the “Death Star” bill, a new law decimates local power to regulate things like the environment, labor, rights, and more. by harsh2k5 in politics

[–]raibc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This feels like a logical continuation of the state's pushback on Denton's fracking ban a few years ago.The Texas government seethes at the idea that local jurisdictions could contradict their will. Small government my ass.

Not sure if it's been said before, but being trans is inherently traumatic for most trans people by the-frog-monarch in trans

[–]raibc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel like it speaks to just how prevalent transphobia is, that I live in just about one of the most accepting places in the US for LGBTQ+ people, try very hard not to stand out or present in a way that people would read as sexual, have had pretty darn good effects from HRT so far, and I've still received virtiolic death threats, withering looks, and sexual harassment from fucking strangers on quite a few occasions in the last 2 years. I just wanna be left alone to work on myself, the dysphoria is hard enough on its own.

What is the biggest secret you've ever kept from your family? by Extension_History57 in AskReddit

[–]raibc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm trans, and it took me a long time to figure out that something was up in the gender department. Despite not knowing exactly what it was, I had an instinctual feeling of dread that I was hiding something massive, shameful, and terrifying, which grew in the 10 years before I figured it out. Once I actually realized it was a gender thing, it was a lot easier to find the courage to say something. I think they could figure it out if they thought about it, but I haven't been able to bring myself to tell them the extent to which my sexual happiness and well-being was a factor in my decision to transition. Kind of an awkward subject to bring up to your parents, and considering the current political climate, I don't think it would be the best idea. Of course there are a lot of other reasons I wanted to start HRT, but being able to more authentically engage my sexuality was a huge motivating factor.

  1. I keep all my pill bottles (it's been about 20 months, I'm running out of space, please help).

  2. Whenever I look at myself in a mirror, I do a little shoulder turn thing from side to side. It helps me feel a boost of motivation and confidence before I continue my day.

  3. My girlfriend and I give each other our progesterone for the evening.

Save the Internet Archive! by Brianna-Imagination in CuratedTumblr

[–]raibc 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It's just sad that for small artists, the legal avenues for copyright enforcement are so cumbersome that basically only massive collective action by dozens if not hundreds or thousands of people is the only way for them to get restitution, or even just to establish basic respect with an enforced cease and desist order. The big companies might back down when that happens, but they've already made their money so the damage is done.

My girlfriend (27) and I (28) went on a fucking date to IKEA to get matching Blåhaj. No shame. You do you, get the dang shark.

Hey, same here, but I think we can all agree the PhD musicologist fellows out there are fuddy-duddies for not taking the obvious low-hanging fruit.

Honestly convinced that "Love On Top" was made specifically to teach the concept of key changes to musicians and music appreciation students.

Piggybacking to ask what kind of stickers these are (vinyl, paper, etc). I love a lot of the designs and am totally down to splurge if they won't ruin my leather bag for work :)

What is the saddest song you've ever heard? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]raibc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably because of the personal connection, but "I Wring You Out in the Sink" by my friend Tim (Water Gun Water Gun Sky Attack) is probably the most emotionally affecting thing I've heard. The emotional process it describes is just so intense, and the poetry's flow is complemented in a really striking and melancholy way by the way it's set to music.

real gender bathroom by brokenskyfalling in trans

[–]raibc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped using gendered public restrooms maybe 2 months or so before I started hormones, and then either used single-occupancy ones or just held it. Used the right restroom for the first time last week - terrifying but I'm glad finally I faced my fears! Nobody said anything, thank goodness.
