I don’t think I can shut up long enough to recover

So real lmao. I hate my voice more than anything else though. So vfs is on the top of my priority list.

I am in the US. I haven’t actually asked about surgery yet. I read that surgery is usually held off for like 3 or so years because they don’t want to mess with the early stages of hrt and I assumed that was just the standard. I would love to get vocal feminization surgery sooner though.

My friends call me their “wine auntie”, so I dunno where I fit here.

Cool skirt! I always like ones that accentuate the hips. Your hair looks a bit wavy, you could try a bit of curl cream or plopping to get it to curl up a bit more and tame a bit of frizz. Maybe moving your part a little more towards the center will help frame your face better too

wow you can get an SRS referral within a year of starting HRT in your country? The standard here is to wait a few years for pretty much any surgery.

I listen to Astrid, FEM&M, and shteppi a lot

It was absolutely fantastic to see. I think a lot of my amazement at it was simply because of the medium. The quality of everything is incredible, especially considering it’s all stop motion. The story itself is good, I have no real complaints besides tiny nitpicks about pacing. It’s a very fast paced movie, which makes things feel a bit underdeveloped, but it’s also very exciting.

Yeah that’s gotta be a Texas/southern thing. I live in New York and the idea of just assuming a middle eastern seeming person is an extremist sounds ridiculous.

What do you mean people in the LGBTQ community don’t talk to you IRL? Do you mean that as a kind of fearing a minority thing or because they’re extra careful about the general rule of not outing people you clock?

I’m a white trans woman, but I live in a very diverse area. So the idea of avoiding someone because of their ethnicity is kinda foreign to me. Where I am, PoC are generally more respectful if not friendly to queer people than most white people are.

Definitely. I couldn’t afford to anyway, but I would not want to be one of the early adopters. But eventually, they’ll be hacked and it’ll be possible to remove any insidious corporate “features” and I’d be left with all the benefits.

My assumption was that some other drunk person found it on the ground and thought it would be easier for the owner to find if they came back because the branch was a bit below eye level. I definitely thought it was an odd place to find a key, but I wasn’t too worried. At that point I had found maybe 20 keys that year. Drunk college kids lose them a lot.

The vast majority I’ve found just lying by the curb, usually in downtown areas. I’ve also found few during a few different jobs.

One that I can remember I found on top of a branch of a tree by the sidewalk. It was an unusually long key that I noticed when I stumbled into the tree on my way home drunk from a college party.

I used to worry a lot about them and the people looking for them, but I’ve tried to report them in the past but the owner never turned up. People worry about losing keys, but the reality is theres way too many locks to ever know what it goes to.

I actually have a collection of keys Ive found on the street while walking around. I have over 300 keys so far. They’re all on a bunch of varying sized key rings all connected together. It’s fascinating to see the different kinds and wonder why the person lost them. Some of them I can remember picking up a lot of them I don’t though.

I really don’t see a problem unless you equate being gay with being bad or undesirable in some way. Who’s reading an article about butt plugs and only feels shame in their interest when gay people are brought up?

I get plenty of news on TikTok, I don’t see a problem. If I hear something on there, I quickly look it up and verify it. The problem isn’t “these damn stupid kids and their social media”, the problem is media literacy combined with major journalistic outlets obliterating their own credibility.
