Pedantic, but shouldn’t the categories be:

• Baby (25%)
• Don’t hurt me (50%)
• no more (25%)

?

Protect them from what, Danielle?

Yes, get on that!

Orangutan?

Real alternatives would require acknowledging that SA’s social operating system has reached the end of its useful life. That means abandoning the assumption that online social interaction must be organized around drama, hierarchy, and performative conflict. It means designing systems that optimize for different values: genuine dialogue over engagement, collaboration over competition, mutual aid over social capital accumulation.

Ok, say we buy into the premise of the article, how do we optimize for genuine dialog, collaboration, and mutual aid? Is this something that exists elsewhere online or is it just a list of noble principles?

The t4t app can help you find local trans folk.

I had this (they were itchy!) when I wasn’t injecting deep enough. I switched from a 45° angle 5/8" needle to 90° (straight in) and the problem went away.

I switched to subq from IM because of the soreness. It’s normal, though.

It just took switching to shorter needles and injecting into pinched fat on my abdomen.

This article is worse than fluff.

The P in JPEG stands for photographic so I guess we shall pronounce it “jayfeg” based on that logic.

Descriptive linguistic opinion: both the hard and soft G pronunciations are used, with the hard G being more common, but I like the soft G and use it myself.

As soon as he admits he’s a fascist, he’s removed from the debate. The other contestants “on his side” vote him out as well (with the red flags in this Jubilee format.)

Debates are not the same as talk shows, long form podcast interviews, news appearances, etc.

Here is a short, nuanced discussion on it from left-leaning podcast, Conspirituality.

I guess, disclaimer if it’s not clear, I’m anti fascist.

Including fascists in a debate is not “platforming”. Bringing fascists onto Bro Jogan where he can just nod and say, “Dude, so true” is platforming. Anyone watching this episode would not have come away with the conclusion that this dude was right-headed. Mehdi Hassan held up very well against this fool.

Sue Doug Ford for cutting hospital finding.

Transition is wild! I already had what I felt was a happy and fulfilling life, and transition just brings it all to a new level. I went full time just a couple weeks into HRT, and changed my online socials 4 months into HRT.

I finished legal transition around that time, too.

I started to be cis-passing around 6-7 months? Which is way earlier than I anticipated. I’m still getting used to that, but yes, it’s just been 100% positive.

I’m also super lucky that my partner is bi (but more physically attracted to women; I am a trans woman). She was actually pretty excited about my transition from the beginning. She’s been suuuper supportive and very into the changes that have occured. I wish everyone could have a partner like her during their transition, she lifts me up when dysphoria drags me down.

I’m curious what made your egg crack, and how it’s all going with HRT?

I had a similar timeline. Joined Beehaw during the API migration, egg cracked September 2024. HRT November 2024.

I’m sorry, that situation sounds really tough. I wish you had a more supportive environment. Be well!

To be fair, player characters at level 17+ are basically walking deities, regardless of class.

It definitely morphs and changes over time.

I used to never have any dysphoria from having a beard.

Later, the slight hair growth I got in between laser sessions made me feel hopeless.

Now, I don’t love my facial hair but also feel sort of good at being more visibly trans when my facial hair is having its bad/intense days.

It’s also common for folks to not have genital dysphoria for a long time, only developing it years into transition when everything else is dealt with.

I wonder if your brain is finally accepting that things will change and the impatience is manifesting as dysphoria.

I hope it gets better soon!

Desired paths sounds weirder to me. I think desire here is a noun and not a verb, like “love affair” vs “loved affair”.
