Hi! I've been using gel for several months, but a few weeks ago I made the change to injections. Each injection has resulted in some pains in random areas in my left leg, but mostly concentrated in the muscles below the knee. I also started waking up with muscle spasms in the same leg, which is something I used to have before puberty. The pain mostly subsides after a day or two.

I suspect the issue is vasodilation which I understand is more common in women than men because estrogen dilates the blood vessels, but I wanted to hear other peoples thoughts.

Wearing overknee socks (to compress) helps, as does ice and exercise/movement, which I think is in favour of this being vasodilation.

I will be bringing this up with a doctor in a couple of weeks, but I'm afraid he won't be able to help much or have someone to refer me to as competence regarding trans stuff is pretty low here in Norway (also I'm diy).

I would like to know as much as possible about what this could be so I have something to present to him.

I don't understand how conservative people keep falling for this stuff

Not in this meme, but in the original. It implies that equality is not a good thing because surely the people calling for it haven't taken into account that everyone is different and has different needs. It shows equity as being the same situation but tailored for everyone's needs, and justice as being the same situation but with whatever created the inequality in the first place as having been removed.

My issue is that people don't use these words in this way, the people calling for equality always want to provide according to peoples needs, and to remove the things causing inequality.

I really really hate the original version of this meme. No one uses equality, equity, and justice to mean the things the meme implies >:|

Q: Isn’t it really insensitive to point out a trans girls’ penis?

A: Depends on the person. Every trans person has different dysphorias.

Q: What’s with the thing of calling people trans+gender in the first place?

A: When done right it's only done where needed for context.

Q: I’m sure many people have good intentions, but it really feels like accidental mean behavior to spotlight something that should be between partners, doctors, and close friends/family who can be trusted keep reminding someone they were born into a body that felt wrong.

A: Many trans people (including myself) like the kind of humor in the meme (it's a meme, and not to be taken seriously). There is a clear difference between pointing out someones "bulge" irl and in this meme. Additionally, referencing someones genitals again is triggering for some and not at all for others, it's not always a secret or whatever.

There's another community here on blåhaj this could have been posted to instead where it might have been a better fit, but the reference to a bulge is not the point of the meme and is supposed to be somewhat empowering. Tucking and other practices are common for transfems (and some eventually do surgery), but some don't. Some people view attitudes like this as a way to break down gender stereotypes and be non-conforming, thinking they should be allowed to be this or that gender regardless of what bits they have.

EDIT: Also I should add you can be trans without dysphoria.

Transcript: A girl is standing in front of a trans flag. She is wearing a sweater with the trans flag colors and has cat ears. A caption above the image reads: "React with the sparkling heart emoji if you love girl bulge, or hate late stage capitalist imperialism".

I don't really know which community to post this in, I think this is the most relevant one?

I've recently spent a bit more time on lemmy.world and I have to say they don't seem super keen on removing trolls and transphobes, same for instances like lemmings.world.

The moderators seem to be perfectly aware of transphobic replies, vague threats, misinformation, and obvious trolling, yet they hardly remove any of the offending replies, and rarely if ever ban anyone. Certainly not often enough to make the network less toxic.

This post was mostly to vent, but I would also like to ask: when you report someone, who receives the report? Mods on my instance? The mods of the specific community I'm reporting from?

Sorry if this is the wrong place.

There is absolutely some muscle loss when on hrt. A study suggests transfems are comparable to cis women after about 2 years on hormones. Dunno if transfems have an easier time having visible abs, though.

What's with all the tankies recently? If they wanted to change things for the better they would organize and vote for biden, even if he sucks. The organizing is the important part anyways, voting is just damage control.

EDIT: In case it was unclear, I do not mean organize to vote for biden.

EDIT: I am an idiot. This is a primary. Don't vote for biden if there is a better candidate.
