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”.
The law change will introduce a minimum age limit for using the devices at 15 years old, as well as placing a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) limit of 0.5 g/l on scooter drivers.
They also pointed out that other countries in Europe set the age between 12 and 16.
I have mixed feelings about this. When I was that age, I had a bike and used it as my main mode of transportation. Is a scooter significantly more dangerous? I suppose it must be, if kids are getting injured at the rates they are.
And kids can still operate non-motorized bikes, scooters, etc.

I generally use queer.
It’s often used in the names of university programs (e.g. queer studies), so I think it’s been pretty well reclaimed.
It is also intuitively inclusive of romantic minorities, which gives me the sense it will continue to be inclusive as the aforementioned acronym continues to grow.
An aside, I’m also all for reclaiming the t-slur (I am trans) but I don’t use it unless I am certain the people around me won’t be hurt.
This was a very wordy article and I’m not sure I got anything out of it. It’s in our best interests to act in long-term thinking but politics favors short-term thinking. Whatcha gonna do about it?
The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love by bell hooks.
Settled on it after 2 years of Dvorak, 1 year of Colemak, and 1 month of Workman.
Though, I mainly use Plover stenography when I’m working, Norman for gaming, and Qwerty on mobile or as-needed (e.g. other people’s computers or while taking notes on my iPad for D&D)
Maybe time to make one of those furnace filter + box fan air purifiers. It should help with the scents and any dust.
If you disagree with this post, you should upvote it. Perfect unpopular opinion.
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.
