International Transgender Day of Visibility - Trans Megathread from March 30th, 2026 to April 4th, 2026 (hexbear.net)

International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDoV) is a day for celebrating the lives of transgender people, recognizing the contributions we make to society and rallying against the discrimination we face. TDoV also functions as a counterpart to the International Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR)^[TDoR is observed on November 20th and memorializes those of us who's lives were stolen by transphobic violence, particularly trans women of color. TDoR was initially founded in 1999 in remembrance of Rita Hester, Chanelle Pickett, and Monique Thomas, three black trans women who were murdered in the Boston area.]; with TDoR being a somber occasion and TDoV having a more celebratory nature.

For this week, in observation of TDoV, I invite you all, the posters in our community to write a little bit about the celebration of trans lives.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

I'm thinking of maybe coming out since my parents probably already know by now. I got a week long trip to a different state and my plan is to come out right before or right after I leave, so the fallout happens while I'm away. Or if it ends up really bad I have a plan and a place to run away to.

nsfw

So apparently, the secret to getting an E orgasm is to be relaxed and patient. Let the wand work its magic. Take your time. Enjoy the process.

Meanwhile I was rubbing T orgasms out like I was a fast food worker and some customer ordered a serving of girlcum but there were 10 fucking orders of girlcum in the backlog so you kinda gotta like pump em out. And then you'd collect the lil droplet each time and serve it and it would cost $6.50 because capitalism was in crisis and you were like, just trying to survive but lowkenuinely you peaked in highschool and were going to die alone.

[–] Alisu@hexbear.net 1 points 22 minutes ago

That started getting weird at the end, u ok?

[–] inTheShadowOf@hexbear.net 10 points 3 hours ago

Insurance is such a fuck. I have to end up paying hundreds of dollars just to have people agree to maybe one day do surgery. I've been trying so hard to save as much as I can before moving too.

Money is so stressful catgirl-flop

[–] meler@hexbear.net 12 points 3 hours ago

People have started calling me a name my name is commonly short for. I haven't asked anyone to do this but I'm not complaining. I kinda really love it

:::spoiler health question

lowkey if my vial recently got cored and i cant get another yet am i going to die bcs of accidentally injecting a bit of rubber into my thigh muscle a few days ago?

[–] peanutbuttercupola@hexbear.net 7 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

You're much more likely to get an infection if you use a cored vial. It's not because of the bits of rubber, but because the inside of the vial can't be kept sterile anymore.

It's not safe to use that vial anymore so you should replace it as soon as possible.

[–] Busgirl@hexbear.net 5 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

What's a cored vial?

[–] peanutbuttercupola@hexbear.net 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

To be clear, inject and draw like this, and don't rotate the needle while it's in.

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Oh, am I not supposed to push it straight in? There's not much room to angle it even

[–] peanutbuttercupola@hexbear.net 4 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Straight in is fine, but if it's at any angle it should be like the one in the picture. Like any angle between straight in and about 45 degrees bevel up is no problem.

[–] peanutbuttercupola@hexbear.net 5 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

Coring a vial is when you accidentally punch a hole in the rubber stopper. It usually happens because of using too large of a needle or because of poor drawing technique (inserting the needle with the bevel down or rotating the needle while it's in).

[–] Busgirl@hexbear.net 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Ohhhhhh um I need to redo my technique cause I think I've been coring most of the time, did not know this was a thing

[–] peanutbuttercupola@hexbear.net 2 points 1 hour ago

Well improper technique doesn't always cause coring it's just more likely to happen.

You can test if a vial has been cored two ways. First, look closely to see if there are visible particles of rubber floating inside. Second, you can hold it upside down for a while and see if oil leaks through the stopper. If there's nothing floating inside and it doesn't leak then the vial is fine.

I'm so tired of constantly feeling dysphoric. This is a horrible way to live.

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

The treatment for dysphoria is transition, the more you transition the less dysphoria

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 5 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (3 children)

Six months tomorrow. The only treatment doesn't seem to be helping much.

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 6 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Yes transitioning isnt just taking HRT, socially, etc is all part of that.

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I've been socially transitioning for longer, coming out to friends etc.

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 6 points 59 minutes ago (1 children)

Parents too?

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 3 points 59 minutes ago* (last edited 53 minutes ago)

That would absolutely not help my dysphoria 💀 ik I haven't talked about them much in a while but that will not make things better.

[–] Busgirl@hexbear.net 7 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Six months is still very early, also have you been eating more than before transitioning because you need to eat more to see better results. I would reckon putting on 15-30 pounds over the next year would be good for ya. You will see results eventually, you just gotta keep on trucking.

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

I mean yea :/ still hasn't lowered my dysphoria though. When will it. Not really, about the same. I'm not going to purposely gain weight until I can move out and get on pio.

[–] peanutbuttercupola@hexbear.net 2 points 49 minutes ago (1 children)

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 5 points 4 hours ago

Literally nothing could make suffering like this for all this time a good thing.

[–] SickSemper@hexbear.net 12 points 5 hours ago

Waow my sibling remembered me on tdov ! I really didn’t expect that since I came out so recently, riding high rn :)))

[–] Arahnya@hexbear.net 10 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

I'm very happy that I can be in community with other trans people :) I appreciate everyone's posts, and the sharing of our lives and experiences.

[–] SickSemper@hexbear.net 1 points 1 hour ago

I’ve been lurking here since the website started and this was the first place I started using different pronouns. Truly an oasis

[–] Busgirl@hexbear.net 4 points 3 hours ago

Yeah this place is awesome!! Glad you and everyone else is here!!!

[–] AnarchoHelen@hexbear.net 10 points 7 hours ago

As a trans girl this post made me happy lol. I hate being trans, that shit kind of fucked my life, i feel like everything is against me (including myself) and sometimes i just wish i was a boy, but i try to go on. Thank you for doing this post, and thank everybody that makes something to give us visbility.

[–] sodium_nitride@hexbear.net 14 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

How it feels like to insult people on the internet

[–] RION@hexbear.net 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Debating being more combative on the Internet to provoke this reaction :thonk:

[–] Busgirl@hexbear.net 4 points 3 hours ago

It works best on Tumblr

[–] MeetMeAtTheMovies@hexbear.net 7 points 8 hours ago

Just had a woman in the store do a quadruple take at me and then slowly increase speed while still staring back at me. It looked like she was about to break out into a run. Like don’t break your fucking neck I’m not coming for your kids

[–] sodium_nitride@hexbear.net 10 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Trans joy moment:

Can't sleep anymore without tucking a pillow between my boobs. It's uncomfortable otherwise. And holy shit does it make me feel such euphoria in the morning when I wake up. My arms resting on my boobs.

Even though i barely slept today, i tried a new thing. I replaced the pillow with my arm!

In all honestly this gender euphoria is like the ONE thing keeping me going.

[–] Busgirl@hexbear.net 5 points 8 hours ago

That's awesome!
