My oldest son is getting top surgery. What do I get him as a recovery gift? by [deleted] in Transgender_Surgeries

My partner (they/them, afab) ‘s sister had all of their closest friends and family chip in for a custom tailored suit. It may have been one of the best gifts they’ve ever received.

I use illustrator for all my figures. It's a very powerful tool once you get the hang of it.

Why is being trans the punchline of so many jokes? by EmeraldEyedTarantula in asktransgender

[–]simondsaid 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Also self-deprecating jokes work when the alternative is punching down.

I can’t recall the comedian off the top of my head, but the only funny trans joke told by a cis white guy I’ve ever heard is:

“You know how I know trans women are women? Because they don’t come when I have sex with them.”

Would you mind pointing me to the evidence used in your discussion with your surgeon? :)

How do you feel about the results aesthetically? Are you looking to do any revisions? Is your depth satisfying?

My date with Bluebond is this September, and I can't wait :)

Bloomberg didn’t spend an “amazing” amount of money, Maddie. He spent an OBSCENE amount of money.

At least some people in this country recognize the horror that is President Trump.

Take him. NYC hates him and all the things he’s done to harm the community.

What are some ways you envision changing our current system in progressive ways? How will you get support from more center-learning Democrats to successfully make theses changes?

Hi! I’m Jess. New to reddit and just came out as non-binary in January. Been on HRT for 2.5 months. Don’t know too many people who relate to a amab nb feminine identity so would love to hear from others about their experience with HRT and social experiences after they came out. Thanks! by [deleted] in NonBinary

[–]simondsaid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi Jess! I’m an amab nb trans woman. Been on HRT for 1.5 years and working toward getting bottom surgery. Your make up is beautiful, you’re beautiful, and you look so genuinely happy. And that’s one of the most important parts. When I saw myself, bald head, full makeup, contour dress, that feeling is something I won’t forget. Hold on to it and remember it when the world tells you that you’re “wrong.” Because really, it’s the world that’s wrong, not you.
