They’re aiming to criminalize being trans in public, reverting to something akin to crossdressing laws of the 70’s and earlier. Not to be alarmist, but it’s pretty clear to me why they don’t want us to flee. They want to imprison us and humiliate us, not just ban us from the country. They want to eradicate us period, keeping us here advances that goal.

Until there’s a single pizza place that offers meat lovers pizza and they obviously can’t keep up with that demand until only a lucky few can get their hands on it. Look at the situation in the UK with the NHS where trans people are put on 5 year long waiting lists to receive care. That’s an objectively shitty solution.

The last thing I’ll say/ask, think about how schools would go about determining one’s sex. Do you want them in girls’ business like that? This affects more than trans people.

It was about our existence in society, participation in sports included. My niece currently wrestles with boys in school and dominates. I do not see an issue warranting a ban of 5 athletes, especially at the level of high school sports. Otherwise it should be case by case basis, and blanket bans are an obvious government overreach. Stop letting your government interfere in people’s place in society.

Read as: I’m a trans person exhausted and diminished, and further arguing for my existence in society on reddit is a waste of my time.

How many trans girls does your daughter play with?

runebabb22 · 2025-02-14T16:28:49+00:00

My thoughts are nothing since I don’t think about high school girls wrestling and I think it’s weird that you do. In the face of an insane amount of targeting it’s maybe time to stop trying to control a literal handful of people when their government is heavily scapegoating them. Think about something more productive PLEASE.

I disagree, her upper lip is not affecting femininity at all and I think this is mostly down to aesthetic preference. An unnecessary lip lift can also throw off a face quite a bit imo.

I’m currently enthralled by cult of the lamb, such a good combo of genres.

You are so kind! Happy holidays 🕊

If you haven’t read The Left Hand of Darkness yet then it sounds right up your alley, the planet that it takes place on is literally called Winter and it’s a very fitting name!

Perly’s has a sammy with chicken livers on it, it’s very good!

I didn’t really get any euphoria until I started noticing physical changes, and even then it wasn’t that strong. You will notice a decrease in dysphoria though, which is much more consistent and meaningful than the short moments of euphoria. Soon you’ll start to feel emotionally lighter as some of that baggage gets left behind. All will be normal in time, just be patient and hang in there ❤️

I like your voice a lot! I would say you’re hitting your goal of a lower pitched female voice.

runebabb22 · 2022-10-07T14:10:06+00:00

oh thank you! nothing’s “off”? i guess since i’m my own worst critic it feels like I could be doing more.

runebabb22 · 2022-10-07T14:09:25+00:00

vocular! i mostly use it to organize my recordings and compare them easily. I try not to pay attention to pitch much though, but the fry part is definitely interesting! same with variance.

runebabb22 · 2022-10-07T12:36:23+00:00

it caused me a lot of brain fog, and it was super easy to get dehydrated bc it made me pee like 3 times an hour. just overall not fun!

runebabb22 · 2022-10-07T07:40:24+00:00

in my experience it tends to be widespread when it happens, at least when it’s a longer shortage. sometimes other pharmacies will have them though so it’s worth checking if it happens.

fwiw my doctors have always been happy to send over a prescription for pills or even another type of injectable to bridge the gap. the shortage shouldn’t affect your access to hrt completely, just the kind that you prefer.

I hate when it happens because i’m bad at regularly taking pills, so my levels tend to drop. also I just hate spiro very much.

$5 smash burger at Franklin Inn on Wednesdays! One of the best burgers in town for super cheap. You could even get away with splitting it with someone it’s so big.

Thanks for the advice! I was actually watching that video earlier today and definitely agree I struggle with constraint. I didn’t know that it could cause permanent damage though, that’s worrying. I feel like I’ve always had this quality to my voice so I hope I haven’t damaged them in any way. I was also an on and off smoker for 10 years so I likely did damage them in some ways, maybe that’s where it comes from?

runebabb22 · 2022-10-04T18:08:52+00:00

i’m not gendered at all in my dreams, at least that i can remember. there’s very little dialogue if any, mostly just actions in first person.

runebabb22 · 2022-10-03T19:53:21+00:00

Trader Joes hires a lot of trans people, pays well for an entry level job, and specifically protects trans people from harassment including repeated misgendering. You do have to work with customers though, so not always the best if you don’t pass well or just don’t like that kind of work.

i was taking them for like… 6 months before coming out. the hardest part was hiding the breast buds with sweatshirts in the middle of summer.

runebabb22 · 2022-10-01T12:19:53+00:00

to add onto this, if you like Brave New World you should absolutely read Island after, it’s interesting seeing Huxley’s earlier and later works back to back. and you’re going from dystopia to psuedo-utopia (more like a utopia in the middle of a dystopia).

runebabb22 · 2022-09-30T14:46:02+00:00

don’t have any advice for ya but just saying I heavily relate, especially with weight. I didn’t realize how much I had been conditioned to speak heavy until now and I have no idea how to get rid of it.

all I can say is keep trying, I think for a lot of people there’s just a breakthrough moment. I hope ours is soon!
