That's a shame, I'll just snack on this banana instead.

How do I find an accepting healthcare provider? in c/mtf@lemmy.blahaj.zone
[–] Kayday@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I started by using this website since it lets you filter for LGBTQ+ affirming professionals.
I found one doctor not too far from me, about 30 minutes. They moved though, and referred me to another who I now love. The new doctor wasn't tagged as affirming on that site, so I know it isn't perfect, but it's a start.
I'm guessing a lot of doctors may just not have thought to list themselves that way, even if they are.

I think they mean a bigot might wear this shirt to say the 1% you're wrong for siding with is trans people.
I don't think most people would think that though, so they would just end up looking supportive by accident.

How's your week been? in c/trans@lemmy.blahaj.zone

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 think it's two different conservative talking points morphed together:

  • "If we give homeless people money, they will just spend it on drugs and alcohol"
  • "Poor people are poor because they spend their money rather than investing it."

Truck cruelty in c/tumblr@lemmy.world

I'm saying if both vehicles bad the same number of seats, the length would be about the same.
That doesn't mean the height is justified, but it would be much more helpful to compare vehicles with the same utility from back then and today.

There's also double the seating in the one at the rear. The beds looks about the same size, but if the cabs had the same seating the primary difference would be the height.
But then it wouldn't be as reaction inducing.

Over 100 Trans People Missing or “Presumed Dead” After Israel Bombs Iranian Prison in c/lgbtq_plus@lemmy.blahaj.zone
[–] Kayday@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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 luke 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.

[MTF's on HRT Pls Respond] How unusual is it for no nipple soreness or breast bud development at almost 6 weeks of HRT? (lemmy.world)

Trying hard to trust the process, and while I have seen other expected changes in skin, hair, and mood, I am getting anxious that nothing is happening under my shirt. I had some minor sensitivity within the first two weeks, but never anything painful.

This Friday will be 6 weeks on HRT. 2mg Est, 4mg Prog, 200mg Spiro daily.

Edit: thanks for talking me off the cliff everyone, I'm much less anxious now 😅

Title. Does anyone have advice? I can find jeans long enough no problem, tall options are fine. But anytime I find an appropriate waist measurement (~35") the hip measurement is 7-8" larger than mine.

Edit: to clarify, I would want a little extra in the hips to help give the impression of, well, hips. But 8 extra inches seems excessive.

[Engagement from anyone welcome]

Context, informed consent is a thing here and I will likely be starting HRT in the next month or two. Here is what my thought process has been for the last year since beginning to socially transition, although very slowly.

  • I should buy feminine clothes
  • I don't want to have to buy new clothes once my measurements (hopefully) change from HRT
  • I will wait to buy feminine clothes
  • I should practice makeup
  • Makeup makes dysphoria worse
  • I should start HRT / look into FFS
  • I will wait to practice makeup
  • I should start HRT
  • I haven't earned that; I don't dress or present fem
  • Kick can down the road for HRT

The good news is I called a doctor last week to schedule the appointment! So things are progressing. Just wanted to see if any guys, gals, or pals have had a similar experience with their transition, or seen someone else go through that.

Trump wants US to take ownership of Gaza and redevelop it after Palestinians are resettled elsewhere (apnews.com)
 

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Tuesday he wants the U.S. to take ownership of the Gaza Strip and redevelop it after Palestinians are resettled elsewhere.
“We will own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site,” Trump said a start of a joint news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Trump signs executive order aimed at curtailing gender transitions for everyone under 19 (apnews.com)
 

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order aimed at curtailing gender transitions for people under age 19.
“It is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures,” Trump said in a statement.

House passes immigrant detention bill that would be Trump’s first law to sign (apnews.com)
 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House on Wednesday gave final approval to a bill that requires the detainment of unauthorized immigrants accused of theft and violent crimes, marking the first legislation that President Donald Trump can sign as Congress, with some bipartisan support, swiftly moved in line with his plans to crackdown on illegal immigration.

I am not sure what this bill actually changes. Do we not already detain anyone accused of theft or violent crimes? How would them being an unauthorized migrant even be a known factor unless they have already been detained?

It will certainly embolden some people to snitch, which is likely the intention.
