(i've never replaced a shower screen but i've been fixing plumbing and resealing around my bath because my landlord is a landlord)

i would guess that the wall part is actually two parts and that the screws you removed will allow the inner to pull out, exposing some much larger screws which attach the outer to the wall. you might need to pry the inner out if it's become deformed or corroded

i don't think that the gray plastic pivot is broken - it's too symmetrical. the dents are probably guides to lock the screen in the open or closed position. but your new screen will come with fixtures and it probably won't fit what's there already. so the existing fixture will need to come off

you'll also need new silicone sealant to go around the new fixture and a sealant gun to apply it. and gloves. definitely do not forget to wear gloves because that shit will still be under your nails in a week https://www.wikihow.com/Apply-Silicone-Sealant

oh shit i'm so sorry. maybe there's a trans/diy sub for your country on r*ddit. or if you're feeling brave, maybe there's an irl group that you can get to (it's absolutely fine if you're more comfortable introducing yourself as your given name and agab - we all started from the same place)

i hope you can figure something out

does it actually have to be shipped from eu or are you just stressing?

i'm in the uk and normally use unitedpharmacies (ships from hong kong), but i've also used rupills (russia) at least twice and probably some others. i never had any sort of issue

it might reassure you to find out what the actual law is about importing medicines and speak with other diy'ers in your country

I finally started the process of changing my name legally after 8 years and I already regret it

My first name was given to me. It was my dad's middle name and I never liked it. I'm not a man and I'm nothing to do with him.

My second was a fem name which I chose myself. I loved it at the time, but it became evident that I wasn't a woman either. I had the name for 3 years. I kind of miss it, but it's not me.

My third was a unisex name based on my original name. I couldn't really explain why I chose it, like it's objectively bad and there's at least one absolute demon of a "person" with that name. There was a much better unisex name that I really liked but I felt like I didn't deserve because I was extremely fucking depressed. But idk, i settled on the shit one and became accustomed to it.

The fash shit continues to get worse and I'm finally (7 year withing list) getting somewhere with the gender clinic so i decided to get my deed polls done and reapply for my driving licence while I still can. I hadn't really given my name much thought in a few years, so I just autopiloted everything with the shit name, since that's the one I've had for the last 5 years.

Within 2 weeks, I've been reminded multiple times of the demon with whom I share a name. My fucking dad decides to get in touch. The EHRC shit dropped, which is truly fucking horrible. Then I've interacted with two people who have the name that I actually wanted and it's all just made me spiral.

So fuck it. I'm having the good name. When my driving licence comes back, I'll have to immediately reapply with another deed poll for shit -> good name. Then everywhere else will need a different deed poll for dead -> good name. It'll be a bit annoying, but it'll be worth it because I am actually allowed to be happy and have nice things.

 

(obviously i disavow)

Thanks! It's caused by hexbear-global.css, so not a thing that upstream will fix. I should have some time this week to take a look

 

These two rules in styles.css are the problems

.featured-posts {
  background-color: #2f2f37;
  border-radius: 0.25rem;
}
...
html .text-person {
  color: #dedede !important;
  font-weight: 700;
  font-size: 12px;
}

.featured-posts needs a light or unset background-color

.text-person needs a darker color

I tested on .ml and both look fine so I guess this is a result of the custom theme

If someone can point me at the repo I'll submit a PR if you want
