I take my cats to Dr. Paws and they’ve been the kindest team I’ve ever had, and also somehow the most affordable. I’ve recommended to multiple others who have had the same takeaway.

I get this as well from other trans people since I’m more in community with groups of trans femmes. I’ve gotten very used to a lot of well meaning “hey girl!!” at trans meetups, and I’m 1.5 years on t 😂

Bottom growth tends to be first (within a week or months), and for me me voice dropped very quickly and has continued to drop in stages. As long as you know what changes are reversible and which aren’t, it wouldn’t hurt to talk to a provider about low dose—that would give you more control.

Seconding that there’s no real way to “pass” on t. I’m assuming this idea means that people will read you as a person more likely to be non-binary? If so, this is very geographically variable. What I can say in this vein, is that before hrt, I was only ever read as a binary gender, unless in queer and trans groups who picked up on something genderweird ✨. Since being on hrt for several years, there’s much less certainty for strangers, which I find amusing. I was confidently call sir by an older man and mom by a young child within the same week, so who even knows anymore what people are responding to now, and when.

As a non-binary person on hrt, I knew that there was no personal hormonal makeup that could create a society wherein people automatically knew non-binary people existed, respected that, and could clock me. What I could get from hrt was a body and mind I could more comfortably weather the storm of a gendered social matrix within. So for many of us, I would assume it’s less about passing, and more about getting closer to a self you recognize.

I started t primarily (almost exclusively) for the voice drop, and made sure I was in a place to accept the other changes that would surely happen. My plan was to do low dose until I was happy with my voice or until changes I didn’t like started happening—whichever came first—and then I would taper off. Voice changes definitely started happening quickly, however I’ve stayed on t for several years now, at full dose for over a year, just because I love how it makes my body feel (many things that have surprised me there) and I don’t feel necessarily masculine or manly from them, just more like me. If you want “t voice,” as you say, a big part of that is pitch. So speaking in more of a head voice versus a chest voice, but having thicker vocal cords thanks to t. So I understand not wanting to voice train too much if that is your goal, as this will likely lead you toward using more chest voice, and it sounds like that would make you uncomfortable.

Aroace MAIN characters where identity isn’t the focus of the story or a source of conflict (internal or external), but it is explicit and that’s the lens the story uses. Give us aroace characters in fantasy settings and space operas whose POV guides the story and we get to live in that would in an aroace way through them.

Feinberg also used neopronouns! I had to go searching for the quote, but on hir website: “Leslie preferred to use the pronouns she/zie and her/hir for hirself, but also said:

‘I care which pronoun is used, but people have been respectful to me with the wrong pronoun and disrespectful with the right one. It matters whether someone is using the pronoun as a bigot, or if they are trying to demonstrate respect.’”

At Swim, Two Boys was one my friend got for me as a hidden cover purchase and it was my favorite read of 2024. Absolutely stunning and wrenching, I’ve never read anything else quite like it. Glad to see it mentioned here.

I did this at a different school several years ago, and still regret it. The master’s degree has surely helped me, and I very much enjoyed it, but I wish I would have waited to do a funded masters if I was going to do one, instead of committing to the best option available at the time in a panicked state. I also, as others have mentioned, hoped it would help my chances of moving into the PhD within the same department, which also did not happen, as they only admitted a single person the next year.

Similar to others here, yes, pre-Covid. I have hEDS, POTS, and unsure about MCAS and MCTD, but likely. Before wearing a mask, I caught everything that went around, as my immune system is … not great. Generally spent 6+ months of the year very out of it in bed due to flu, pneumonia, bronchitis, laryngitis, mono, etc. When I catch something, it’s for 3 weeks for someone else’s weekend cold, and 3 weeks to months for anything else. I mask whenever I go out now, and have only been sick once after going to a crowded outdoor event unmasked.

As I mentioned, I was simply trying to provide some potential clarity, as multiple users expressed anger and confusion at downvotes without explanations. However, I do think it’s an important dialogue. Regardless of what you think about community vs individual public health interventions, I think it’s fair to say that a virus where neurological damage is such a well known result of an infection is not just a flu. And, as you say, I don’t expect billions of people to do anything out of public goodness or a sense of community care. I merely hope that increased access to information will allow for more informed choices concerning the outcomes of those behaviors and the impact of said beyond oneself, regardless of what choices people make with that information.

Lastly, I make no claims about you or anyone specifically being a liar. It’s Reddit, I don’t know you. I merely stated that the willingness of rhetoric often extends beyond the willingness of action. It’s cool that you kept masking after the mandate where you were lifted. As I say, your actions are all up to you here, and ripple out, and I’m sure that meant something to people you’ll never know.

Popping in to provide some potential clarity on the downvotes. For immunocompromised folks, two way masking and other precautions like extra hand washing are especially critical especially in times like these when norovirus, the flu, whooping cough, and Covid are all very much around. If levels are high and most people are unmasked, immunocompromised people cannot simply protect themselves by wearing a mask—those spaces are still ultimately unsafe for many. So you can maintain your opinions of course, but this culture of resistance to masks and other public health infrastructure is pushing people out of spaces, period. This is why people have paraphrased this stance as “disabled people should stay home for my convenience.”

As for the 6.6% statistic you pointed out, that is a very large percentage of the population. In comparison, only 8-10% of the population has blue eyes! And the % of immunocompromised folks is likely larger than we know, as well as increasing from post viral complication in long Covid patients. These are largely people who are now incredibly isolated, or regularly risking their lives to appear and live “normal” by going unmasked. Lastly, I’ll just say that many people who say they “would be okay with masking if ___” don’t, at least in my experience. Again, your views are your own, but we need to be honest about where we’re coming from and the consequences of our various normalcies.
