For my girlies: does anyone have a good recommendation for a sports bra or better yet a sports bra camisole? As well as a bralette suggestion.
I wanted to get something from Kohl's the other day but the sizing seemed small on the nike sports bra camisole they had.
Oh my bad I'm confusing it for another manga.
Yeah Love me for who I am is definitely one of the best trans/queer manga.
Nevada helped me come to terms with the fact that I'd been repressing some of these feelings. It also really helped with internalizing that there's no one singular "right" way to transition.
And also Whipping Girl, to echo what Ada said in this thread: It helped push me towards my path of transfeminism.
To a lesser extent (because I stopped reading early in the book due to ADHD tendencies) Otros Valles by Jamie Berrout. Reading a story (again, even what little of it i did read) by another trans Latina helped me build a bit more confidence in myself.
Btw dear reader, both Nevada and Whipping Girl are freely available for reading online! I always highly recommend both of these books, especially to other transfems or people just interested in being better allies to their transfem loved ones!!!
I liked it in general but IMO the chapter near the end at the school festival left me feeling kinda bad about the whole thing because it felt like the author pulled a hard 180.
I called you a redditor if it wasn't clear. Nobody asked you to be a debate pervert.
You might want to reread that comment instead of going the 'redditor' route.
The bill could have far ranging impacts in Tennessee and outside of the state, and could be broadly used to target health care professionals across state lines.
> Tennessee has recently passed a bill, effective July 1st 2024, declaring it a class-C felony to "recruit, harbor, or transport an unemancipated minor within this state" for transgender healthcare procedures, carrying a sentence of 3-15 years in prison. This applies over state lines and states that do not have anti-extradition laws relating to trans rights can extradite you to Tennessee.
> Notably: the bill is vague. This means: telling stories of your own transition, describing your healthcare experiences to an open group chat, describing your trans experiences on a public website, creating trans health guides online, describing how you have gotten DIY HRT, describing anything to do with trans healthcare, even as a cis person, can result in a class-C felony conviction.
> Given that being arrested in any capacity for transgender people can be an incredibly dangerous experience (CW: SV), I strongly suggest you begin caring about opsec, stop referring to where you live, use VPNs, stop using apps like Discord, and stop using social media sites that track your IP or user agent fingerprint while unprotected. Remember that for a bill like this to be challenged in court, you have to be arrested first.

FWIW some people do report their anger and "competitive spirit" becomes less intense after going on HRT for a while. As well as other emotions becoming more intense and more "vibrant."
From my own experience, I definitely feel a bit more chill. I don't get aggravated as quickly, and when I do, it doesn't feel as intense or "hot" as it used to. This could be more that I don't have as big a hypothetical thorn in my side anymore from alleviating a bit of my dysphoria however. I do cry more easily now, and it feels a bit different when my emotions boil over to that point. It's more... even? Like the feelings are wider and more gradual or gentle instead of narrow and pointed and intense. Kind of an abstract way to put it I guess but that's how I visualize them.
You seem well meaning, but this feels dismissive and op specifically requested engagement from transfemmes on hrt.

I never bothered modding on reddit but I have small amounts of modding experience in general. Currently modding a few small comms here but never done anything bigger than a few dozen users.

I like the fact that it's a general trans community for discussion and news. I enjoy talking about the trans experience in general so I feel at home here when I do contribute. I'm not sure what I'd improve, I'm very much a 'play it by ear' kind of person.

I don't have any experience with bots on lemmy but I do have a bit of python experience and would enjoy the opportunity expand my knowledge on it.
FYI Meganium97 deleted their account suddenly after I posted in our meta comm to please not do the same thing we nearly defederated programming.dev over. (accusing trans users of not actually being trans)
fwiw I anonymized their username when I posted it here but they came forward and apologized but then they started doubling down on it before deleting their account. https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/7453376?scrollToComments=true
Oh that's great to hear!
I'd be weary to reach out to Twitter and tiktok for fear of attracting too many trolls. They seem like worse cesspools than Tumblr and reddit at the moment, especially Twitter.
Very true, recruiting from those two would take quite a bit of vetting at first.
It's unfortunate but it's how it is. i wouldn't really know where the online trans man spaces are, but I've known more trans masc individuals irl vs trans femmes.
I've heard there's bigger communities on tumblr, tiktok, and twitter. I do wonder if lemmy could grow by reaching out to these spaces, but I also know how hostile some social media sites are to other forms of social media.
Presumably it's a result of so many users being ex-reddit users, so the demographics reflect the equally disparate situation of reddit.
people are allowed to be on multiple instances lmao.
she's a trans user posting trans content in the trans subcommunity on the gender diverse instance.
Ah alright, yeah a lot of anti-tankie sentiment is concentrated online. Other spaces tend to be a lot less sectarian or at least more willing to listen/put aside differences.
I'll be honest I think I confused his subreddit with him.

High school student Tetsu Iwaoka notices that his classmate Mogumo is always alone at school. Wanting to give Mogumo a chance to make some friends, Tetsu invites Mogumo to work at his family’s maid cafe. Although Mogumo is initially enthusiastic, there is just one problem: this is a cross-dressing b...
It is not uncommon for people who wish to delegitimize trans women and transfeminine people (either as individuals or en masse) to invoke…
People don't stop being trans because you disagree with them politically. I despise Jenner and other high profile trans grifters but I'm not shitty enough to deny their identities.
Do better. As a user of both sites this shit is genuinely upsetting. Despite how you may feel about hexbear, how can you claim that they bait people into revealing their internalized transphobia and then turn around and make shitty claims like this? I don't give a shit if you call me a tankie or red fash or whatever, but I'm trans whether you like me or not.
I'm trying to install arch for the first time and I'm using an old laptop i had lying around.
I've come to the conclusion that this laptop's dgpu is dead as i get video output up until the OS initializes. (With arch I can't get past choosing the installation medium, with windows I don't get any output when the os should start loading the login screen) The screen goes black but doesn't turn off and in windows the keyboard's rgb lights respond to fn presses (though this doesn't happen in arch)
I've been searching for a way to prioritize the igpu as a way to circumvent the hardware failure, though I'm starting to think this may not be possible in the kernel parameters.
Edit: managed to get through posting windows by turning off turbo boost. gonna try and disable the dgpu once i get arch set up as i think it's a power issue
