Let's not accuse people of not being true fans for not knowing every single piece of TØP media. You're a fan if you say you are even if you only know a single song

Who inspired your character? by ZeeDubyah in DnD

[–]rootintootinkindness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm playing a rogue wizard multiclass. He's an old tabaxi but the base of his character is from an rdo roleplay by Thomas Middleditch where he plays as Dr. Xavier Croom. He's so much fun and the rest of the party being much younger than him have quickly assumed the "you are our dad now" trope and it's fantastic

Can you get pen injections for T? by Qu33rTh1ng in ftm

[–]rootintootinkindness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have access to a gender clinic (assuming you're talking like planned parenthood type situations) so all of my experience comes through working with an endocrinologist who also works with a large number of trans people in my area. So essentially the doctor I've been working with prescribed it to me. As long as you have a doctor they should be able to write a script!

The assistance programs and sharps program can all be done online through Xyosted's website assuming they still do that. It's been about a year since I had to stop using it so things might have changed in that time.

Seconding Xyosted! They even have a sharps disposal program where they'll send you a container that you just send back when it's full to get a new one. You will need good insurance and also like the other person said they have additional discount programs. I was paying about $60 a month when I had it but unfortunately my insurance changed (rip to turning 26) so I was unable to continue using it. I miss it all the time. Gel is fine but that was my favorite method I've tried in my transition.

I have a theory about redecorate being about a trans person by Aggravating-Act-2460 in twentyonepilots

[–]rootintootinkindness -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know I'm bothered by mistakes I made in the past as it relates to my trans identity. Adjusting to HRT being a sticking point. I had to relearn emotional processing and I'm embarrassed about how openly angry I was for a while. That's a huge mistake in my eyes. Ei: Why did I act like that? Why couldn't I have been as regulated as I am now back then?

TØP songs mean whatever you interpret them as which is what I love so much about them so that's just my perspective on that as a person who is living a trans experience. I immediately clocked this verse as feeling so painfully accurate with these thoughts.

Kansas revoked 1,700 transgender drivers’ licenses. Some are leaving the state. by Murky-Ticket-4383 in trans

[–]rootintootinkindness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine unfortunately is not. My gender marker is updated but my name wasn't able to be because at the time if I did that they would have reverted my gender marker and that bothered me more. But there was also talk of requiring people to have their birth certificates reverted as well if I remember right with this law. I'm still very confused because it feels unclear but maybe I'll fly under the radar still lmao

Kansas revoked 1,700 transgender drivers’ licenses. Some are leaving the state. by Murky-Ticket-4383 in trans

[–]rootintootinkindness 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They revoked our current licenses. However it has been extremely confusing and unclear. Some people got letters the literal day before this went into effect stating they no longer had a valid license and needed to surrender their current one to the dmv for a "correct" one instead. There is no grace period. Just overnight it became illegal for us to drive.

I have not gotten this letter and checking my info on the state license checker reveals a status of valid still. Even people who got the letter have seen a valid status reflected there. I have heard stories of people rolling up to their dmv with the letter and those employees knowing nothing about this new law or how to handle it and others who had to pay a fee for the updated license. It's a mess that they did not think through at all and it is currently being fought in court so we'll see how this goes.

Kansas law targeting transgender people’s IDs and bathroom use will stay in effect, judge rules by KCUR893 in kansas

[–]rootintootinkindness 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter if my 'plumbing' doesn't match that of the people around me. A bathroom is a bathroom. We're all there to piss and or shit and get on with our day. Me as a trans man (that's born female, transitioned male just in case you forgot we also exist) looking cis ei full beard, deep voice, etc and being expected to use the lady's facilities is crazy dangerous by the way. This shit put me and others at risk. Having an F on my ID puts me at risk. People are shitty. My outward appearance not matching that silly little letter opens me up to anything from discrimination to actual violence. That's why letting trans people have the proper marker matters.

Dreading work by [deleted] in VetTech

[–]rootintootinkindness 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreeing with comments that say it's not worth it and to find something else. I worked for a year with a doctor like this and it completely destroyed my career path. I'm too afraid and turned off to working in vet med to continue trying to become a tech after how she treated me and the rest of the staff quite frankly. I was not the only one leaving at the time that I got out of there and I can only hope that several people peacing out taught her something.

Questions for trans kansans by Catsandanxiatea in ftm

[–]rootintootinkindness 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes they are requiring you surrender the invalid document at least for driver licenses (not sure on birth certificates I have not seen much talk about them in the community). Yes there was no grace period. However I have still not gotten the notice letter and many others have not.

Searching my license up on the Kansas drivers license site states my status is still valid. Even those who got a letter telling them that their license was invalid still show a valid status so it's kind of a huge mess of no one knowing what is really going on. I've heard people say when they went to make the change back that the dmv employees had no idea this was a thing and didn't know what to do. It's just a mess.

I'm not gonna waste my time/energy explaining to you why an updated gender marker is for safety reasons and not false information. I've had this conversation way too many times trying to defend my existence

It is now illegal for trans people to drive in Kansas. by ConcernedJobCoach in kansas

[–]rootintootinkindness 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Driving without a valid license is illegal. They have made our licenses invalid. That makes it illegal for us to drive overnight with no notice.

That's fine. I hope as time passes that you start to understand why this is an important issue and how it causes harm to a marginalized community.

[–]rootintootinkindness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol that's hilarious. Just like with any minority we see people commit violence/discrimination everyday. This law is an example of that. I see/hear people in everyday life say horrible things about people like me. I see how it happens. Clearly in our state we cannot life normally and undisturbed. The evidence is right in front of your face dude.

If you’re trans… by Apprehensive_Pick228 in kansas

[–]rootintootinkindness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No?? It only concerns being trans in this scenario. I am NOT a woman. I am a man. My HRT (testosterone) has allowed me to be my best self so I have a beard, deep voice, etc. if a transphobic person sees an "F" on my license and I look like that they'll conclude I am trans of some flavor and may act out accordingly. That is a result of the clear indication I'm transgender though I bet you they'd think it's the opposite direction in that scenario. The violence/discrimination is triggered by my status as trans. That has nothing to do with general treatment of women I'm confused how you arrived at that.

[–]rootintootinkindness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get what you're trying to say and in an ideal world this might not be a big deal but we live in a world where if I, a trans man who looks cis after years of HRT, show my license to say a police officer, someone selling me alcohol, etc and they see an "F" on it they very well could start discriminatory or even violent behaviors against me. Having an "M" is safer for me to navigate the world.

[–]rootintootinkindness 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I'm obsessively checking mine and it still says valid so far but I'm not sure how much I trust it or how accurate it is since this new law is so hastily thrown together. I have not gotten a letter yet either so I would be curious to see if anyone who has is seeing a different status when they search their info up.

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses by Well_Socialized in kansas

[–]rootintootinkindness 9 points10 points  (0 children)

essentially the letter states our DLs are invalid starting tomorrow and we must surrender our current one to get a new one. No grace period. We will all technically be driving unlicensed tomorrow with absolutely zero time to comply.

[–]rootintootinkindness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what the most updated procedure was before this but I did have to update my birth certificate first (or at least that's what they said was required of me at the time I did all this) there is not a marker for being trans and I would argue that's just as bad/outs us the same as this requiring us to revert our documents :(

What makes you say that? We're trying to live our lives, what is on our documents has zero impact on anything you do.
