Neat, thanks!

I didn’t either! ActivityPub came out in 2018, what was Fediverse before ActivityPub?

I would love to! It’s just a pretty conservative workplace, so I’m very worried about the backlash that I’m expecting

You totally should! I’m glad you have the courage to do it 😊

I’d love to, but I’m still closeted to almost everyone, except for my therapist, wife, and a few close friends. And I work with a bunch of conservative white men close to retirement. I have the absolute joy of hearing my boss listen to conservative talk radio almost every day. I’m legally protected from discrimination, but I think coming out and presenting femme at work would create a difficult environment that I’m not ready to deal with right now. I’ll probably change jobs, and let the new one know that I’m going to be transitioning, rather than try to make this one work, since I’m hoping to move away sometime in the next year anyway.

That’s awesome! Glad to hear it worked for you!

You should really think through the possibility that once you start estrogen you will not want to ever go off of it, even to regain fertility.

Yeah, that is a concern that I have… maybe it would be better to freeze sperm first, to be on the safe side.

I’ve browsed that document before, but I’ll read it through and check out that channel, thank you!

Everyone I’ve talked to has sung the praises of injections over any other method, so it’s definitely the one I’m leaning toward most

Thank you for such a detailed breakdown! I have my first GAC appointment with Planned Parenthood in a few weeks, so I’ll definitely talk with my doctor and see what they think. I’m more than a little nervous, but I’ve heard they’re really good at the one near me

Thank you! That’s really helpful

Do you need a referral to a fertility clinic where you can freeze it?

Let’s imagine this decision is upheld by the SC. Would state-level discrimination protections still apply, in states that have them?

Oh, absolutely. As my instructor put it, if you cause an arc flash and are killed instantly, you got off lucky. Because if you survive, your body will be severely damaged for the rest of your life.

Those trainings put the fear into you for good reason. I don’t fuck with high voltage at all, shit is way too scary for me.

Everyone should listen to the series that Molly Conger did on her podcast Weird Little Guys about the myth of genocide against white South Africans. It’s really well done, and I learned a lot that I never knew about apartheid.
