Just got back from a convention in a progressive city where I went out of town with no guy clothes at all. Full femme for 5 straight (gay?) days.
So magical that I cried from joy several times. Had a harsh return to reality on the drive home realising that I didn’t feel safe getting out of the car at a coffee shop we stopped at in a rural area, so I had someone order my drink for me.
Amazing experience overall, and gives me the confidence to keep trying to live an authentic life.

I’m aware, but as the article says those services are not up to the standard of other countries. Not to mention many trans people don’t necessarily want the surgery.
I don’t know all the circumstances that lead to an Iranian trans person being discriminated against, but it sounds like it is commonplace regardless of their legal status.

100% agree. Also worth noting that these Iranian prisoners were likely in jail for being trans.

The Iranian government also monitors online transgender communities, often subjecting them to censorship, and police routinely arrest trans people.

I had it on in the background and when I looked over to see that I was so confused.

Oh no there’s a label with plenty of info, just no brands that I recognize. Here’s what it looks like, with anything specific to me or my area obscured.

Ope, I couldn’t say for sure. The brand isn’t on my prescription bottle as far as I can tell :/

Lots of great responses! My E is from Estradiol, if that helps.

Advice about HRT: physical changes happen very slowly. Mental effects happen much quicker. You can start it and see if it helps you feel more comfortable (happened within days for me) and stop if it isn’t good for you.
In the event that it is something you want, you will be happy that you started it earlier rather than later.

Edit: to be clear when I say “very slowly” for physical changes, I mean months. Do what you need to do if being visibly trans isn’t feasible within the next year.

I’ve been very happy with my Deathadder, been using it for almost a year now.

I took it to mean we need to shift the focus of conversation to the entire republican administration, as per point 10.

And what do we call a state with more people of red/blue persuasion?

This is true. It’s also important to remember that action begins with awareness.

First week of hrt has done wonders for my mental health, and removed any lingering doubts I hadn’t been able to shake yet.

In other news, started a new campaign with my rpg group using Masks: A New Generation. It is a blast, and I highly recommend it.

If “bloodbath” = Republicans losing influence, does “blue balls” = Democrats losing?

The right answer is whatever feels correct to you.

Personally, I have thought of it like a scale from 0:1, with all the possibilities between them being trans and the endpoints being the two binary genders. However, the more gender theory you read, the less helpful that seems.

I mean, would you rather it went through? It’s okay to recognize a good thing when it happens.

I started HRT yesterday! Been in a fantastic mood all weekend, which is a nice change.

Unfortunately, most of them are not the leftists mentioned at the top of this thread.

Not to mention that mosquitos hate mint.
