overview for Carcharodonna

I’m so sorry you’re feeling bad again and I hope you can get past this rough patch. meow-hug Everyone here loves and cares about you, so if there’s anything you need don’t hesitate to say so.

Just talking about my own experience here, I don’t think HRT is an automatic cure-all but it did help me at least. I started slowly feeling better after about a month on it. Other things that helped/help me deal with dysphoria are VRChat (where I get to be my cute fem avatar, role playing (like in games or acting out dialog from VN characters), and doing things on my own time like trying out wigs, practicing voice, trying on different clothes, etc. Also just plain escapism works for me a lot of the time, like a book or game with a character I strongly identify with.

Of course they won't, but it's interesting their own study proves them wrong. I guess they forgot to pay off and/or threaten the right people.

I’m pushing here for a group reading of Trans Liberation: Beyond Pink or Blue: https://hexbear.net/comment/6194743

It’s a relatively short but good read. Let me know in the thread if you’re interested!

Awesome!! I think you’ll like this then. It’s not heavy gender theory or anything, but more of an introduction to gender and trans issues.

Some questions I have:

Would you be interested in doing a reading for this?

Obviously the focus of the book is trans liberation, but if you’re cis I highly encourage participating as well. The book covers topics concerning gender that apply to cis people too, so don’t think that only trans people would benefit from reading it. From the book:

And if you do not identify as transgender or transsexual or intersexual, your life is diminished by our oppression as well. Your own choices as a man or a woman are sharply curtailed. Your individual journey to express yourself is shunted into one of two deeply carved ruts, and the social baggage you are handed is already packed.

This is a book that really everyone here should read and it’s not at all difficult to get through.

The chapters are fairly short. Would it be best to do 2 chapters a week or 1? There are 8 chapters total.
What day works best for posting the threads? I was thinking saturdays but would like to hear other opinions.
What comm would be the best place for the discussion threads? I was thinking https://hexbear.net/c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns but with another comm be more suitable? Maybe theory? Transby_liberation?
Any other suggestions for it?

I don’t know if this is considered “masculine” but my transition goal definitely involves studying the blade and becoming a sword lesbian.

I’m sorry that’s happening and I hope things get better.

Sort of related question: ever looked into applying for jobs outside the US? Seems like nurses are in demand a lot of places, so there might be opportunities available if you’re looking to leave.
