Low- to moderate-income Coloradans have the highest tax burden
  • Edit: I have since realized that I am unsure on the calculation of tax burden is calculated for the chart.

    I am skeptical of the representation of the data. My sense for ways to skew data is set off when making statements of segments of population when the segments are not comparable.

    I would need a better understanding of the calculation of the values reported to be able to justify that the top 20% are split into smaller groups than they’re being compared to.

  • Red Dwarf - It's Cold Outside
  • Loved that show

  • What thoughts/memories did you have before coming out, in hindsight, are big signs you were trans?
  • As an enby trans person, it was checking in my early teens for surgery scars of sex determination assuming that I had been intersex and that my parents chose a gender and being disappointed that there were none but still hoping that it was too early to have developed noticeable scars.

  • ‘@Sasquatch’ [OC]
  • tbh This one comes across as a bit shaming of nonconforming gender expression as the butt of the joke.

  • What is your "trail of hobbies"?
  • Baking Board games Camping Carving Drawing Gardening Guitar effects pedal construction/mod Guitar/Mandolin/Banjo Hiking Juggling Knitting Learning Miniature painting Origami Photography Programming (now career) Puzzles Reading Sculpting Sewing Weight training Woodwork Writing ...a bunch I can't remember

  • Unexpected pros/cons of transitioning
  • Specifically for progesterone:

    Con: near constant ravenous hunger Pro: greater difference in fat distribution, especially top growth

  • Any clothing ideas for a mtf to ease into non-masc stuff?
  • Awesome. I’m glad you’ve been finding things to try out and stay comfortable with it.

  • Fucked up my eyebrows. Need help
  • Make up wipes or creams are ideal.

    Big thing is that these are not water-based and require a little bit of solvent help get along. One of the safest things to try would probably be a little bit of olive oil. 

  • Double-hatching
  • That is awesome for you. I have loved reclaiming my masculinity since letting go of it. I feel like I’ve just had an everlasting emergence and metamorphosis rather than a singular hatching.

    I wish there was a similar community here, but the vibes over at r/ftmfemininity are emaculate.

  • Wiggling
  • I am enby but not a wiggler. A partner, a former partner, and a play partner of mine however — big-time wiggly enbies.

  • Any clothing ideas for a mtf to ease into non-masc stuff?
  • Piercings and nail polish really are so excepted now for men by the general public, that it is super easy to get away with that.

    Shaving was a huuuuuuuuuuuuge step for me, as my facial hair was a masculinity mask of sorts. NGL, I cried through it. I wish I could snap my fingers and switch between not/having a full beard again.

    I did a similar thing with slow transition with doing more femme presentation. Would love to hear how things have gone since so much can happen in the span of months, ie how long it’s been since this was first posted

  • Where do I meet girls?
  • Honestly, dating apps can be really good for this. Although polyamorous, I state in my profile that I am also open to just friends and my interests. Two of my best friends I met 4 years ago via Tinder. There are plenty of folks looking for friends on them. It especially seems like that for OKC.

    Edit: most of my trans friends have been on a local discord community or through people I met on it.

  • Internal Monologue and Visualization?
  • I’m curious if this visualization is like my own. I can very vividly imagine an apple but then the web of thought expands out, and I’m near simultaneously visualizing different colors, shapes, varieties, artistic representations, states of being eaten or degraded, and viewed at different angles, lighting, and settings in rapid succession, so that all the images overlap in a blur of what it is that’s meant by apple.

  • I use quotes much more than colon and semicolon, so I swapped the keys
  • Similar. It was throwing me off while programming though (especially with vim key bindings), so I’m currently trying quotes in the same position but under a different layer on my Moonlander. Most likely going to switch back to quotes to default layer, colon as secondary, and keep backtick in the third layer.
