International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDoV) is a day for celebrating the lives of transgender people, recognizing the contributions we make to society and rallying against the discrimination we face. TDoV also functions as a counterpart to the International Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR)^[TDoR is observed on November 20th and memorializes those of us who's lives were stolen by transphobic violence, particularly trans women of color. TDoR was initially founded in 1999 in remembrance of Rita Hester, Chanelle Pickett, and Monique Thomas, three black trans women who were murdered in the Boston area.]; with TDoR being a somber occasion and TDoV having a more celebratory nature.

For this week, in observation of TDoV, I invite you all, the posters in our community to write a little bit about the celebration of trans lives.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

ugh that's frustrating. DIY is just so good I hope we keep having homebrewers.

What's wrong with implants? I feel like I've mostly heard good things except how hard they are to get most places.

    Weirdly we have a DIY Australian lab that makes and posts HRT worldwide (but they're laying low with the hrt cafe thing).

    Implants can be expensive (200-500 AUD a go) and hard to dose correctly initially (imagine having to pay that a couple of times close together)

    I think they're cool for two reasons, if done right they can last 6-9 months. Trans women can just be walking around taking no daily or weekly estrogen like cis woman. Especially useful for full stealth girlies.

    Also if you have to travel internationally or heaven forbid had to go to prison, you don't have to worry about having HRT confiscated or denied.

    Tabloids in the Anglosphere ran a campaign scaring people that children could buy sex changing hormones over the internet without a doctor.

    HRT cafe is down (still on the way back machine) but many HRT websites have gone dark for unclear time periods defensively.

    Like panacea pharmacy which for Australians was the best DIY as didn't have to go through customs and potentially get seized.

    So I didn't see this until now but earlier today I was arguing with a TERF boomer on Facebook (I know silly but it was in a niche lesbian group I visit) and I said this in response to them calling trans women a new phenomena in western schools.

    [TERF name]I come from a long historic line of what we'd now call trans women, from Marsha P. Johnson throwing that brick at Stonewall, to Christine Jorgensen in the 50s to all the women who got help from Magnus Hirschfield in Weimar Germany only to be mass murdered by the Nazis.

    From Eleanor Rykener in the middle ages, to Gallae in Ancient Rome ecstatically self castrating themselves, Scythian Enares drinking pregnant horse urine and so many prehistoric bodies baffling male archeologists because a "man" was buried with women's grave goods.

    I am the current end point of thousands of years of recorded and unrecorded Western and European history.
