Realizing that I'm a background character to everyone in my life makes me want to be even more invisible

Although I'm finding that I'd love to transition purely out of spite at this point

Edit: Just poking back in to share that my mood has evolved into more of a righteous fury on my behalf, less of a resentment. Although I'm generally mad at the world, and this experience has not changed that.

I don't know if the punished-people-pleaser -> scorched-earth-isolationist pipeline is super common but golly, I'm riding it

How do you feel out potential allies? I've been wanting to come out to my sister, but I don't want to do for now if her reaction isn't going to be positive. We have never talked about gender or sexuality in the same room, so I know nothing about her views on the matter. I also feel like I can't just randomly bring up the issue, because I think she would connect the dots.

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Cis people rarely connect the dots, fwiw. They might after you come out and be like "oooooh, that's why you asked me about trans people."

You can talk about trumps executive order defining male/female (badly) at conception, see how she feels about it. Joke about how it defined everyone as a woman or non-binary.

They removed the ability to change your sex with the Social Security Administration. Not entirely sure if I have or not yet, but I can no longer do so if I needed to.

Beyond that, my mind is still broken, hence my absence on this site entirely. I'm sorry, but I can't read your posts right now without just spiraling into hell. I just needed to pass the above info along since it's somewhat useful to the average individual here. Hopefully my brain will be fixed soon. Hopefully.

it's genuinely depressing when the history of anything good in britain typically boils down to "clement attlee's government (under the influence of aneurin bevan) made good thing. then thatcher came along and destroyed it, followed by tony blair making things worse."

Just had the most packed weekend ever with my partner, including going dancing two nights in a row. I'm happy we spent yesterday laughing and loving (and going to brunch lol) instead of dooming.

I love them so much cat-trans

sick kidsApparently our pediatrics unit isn't the only place getting overloaded, it's the whole hospital and every hospital in the health zone I'm in. We're only just now getting our big wave of peds patients on top of everything else. I dunno how many calls from desperate parents I've had to tell to either get in their pediatricians office, a walk in or if they think it's a true emergency to go to the ER. There's no secret back door to get your kid in to our unit, I know it's a long wait and they might send you home without much, there's literally no spac, for example, for your kid with 3 months of chronic diarrhea because there's 3 emergency appys, there's 4 kids on oxygen, two on airvo, one with epiglottis, three to be admitted from other rural emergencies including one who should've been sent to the big city but they're full too etc etc. We don't have room unless your kid absolutely needs 24/7 nursing care. It's so frustrating, I'm used to a higher standard of care for the community.

And it sounds like it's like this every unit in every hospital. And we're due for strike after February. Good luck

Relatives have been checking up on me concerned due to the anti-gsrm proclamations of late. Due to where I live and what I interact with I'm a bit more worried about the end of birthright citizenship and wanton deportations without giving AF if who they pick up isn't Latin@ or is a US citizen, they're all going to the same place. So many Born in East LA but unfunny horror stories already happen irl and no one gaf. When I was younger I thought of emigrating out to MX to be yet another digital expat, or maybe to continue on to an advanced degree, I'm so old and broke now idk how realistic that is. I do have some savings, but not enough to start in another country lvl. My spoken Spanish is horrific and there's no one to practice with around here.

I'm the mood for storytime, when my mom worked in agriculture when younger immigration did a sweep and picked up a few Oklahomans along with the rest, they were seriously so power tripping they were thinking about deporting them until some other official had them calm the fuck down. When people think Murikkkan its usually a bit of a southerner, so no one is safe from what's coming doomer . She also had a series of stories about a nice undocumented Canadian she worked with, eventually he ended up getting caught in a sweep.

HRT I have a decent stockpile not just from fearing the eventual scapegoating, but my constant insurance cuts, which I'm facing again. T is a lot more forgiving storage wise and time wise than one would guess off reddit-logo , real people to listen to are body builders, no damn joke. If I had a question its them or my endo. Anyway, for injections I've found vet supplies to be cheaper than Amazon when they have sales.

I'm at the point in my transition like many where I can't go back in the closet, I never really cis-passed very well, so this was always going to happen regardless of what the fools want.

CW bathroom violence story when I was younger

spoilerSo I have PCOS and always had the blessing of facial hair, then some generic appearance things like I have a very masc face.

When I was in late middle school or early high school, mom had just some legal trouble and I was at the nearest Walmart and had to use the bathroom. Some old lady accused me of being a boy-man in the bathroom and began to fight me off with her heavy ass purse and have a flip out about it. Other women in the bathroom ignored her or sat around like bumps on a log. I immediately told grandma about it who was like 'oh well, it happens, just don't tell your mom'.

CW: dysphoria bit health

spoilerSometimes I take herbal supplements to help out melatonin or my actual sleep med. One I use and also cook with is mugwort. Mugwort's nice in cakes and dumplings and has a unique herbal flavor, I also find it a bit of a lucid dream cheating-tier aid. I was chatting with a chatbot trying to see what it could pop out about mugwort's various properties and more recipes, and I get to read its actually purposely used to regulate/cause periods. Oops. I usually take or eat it when I'm at my most stressed. I feel sort of silly, I can probably replace it with fenugeek or something flavor wise. I seriously wonder if that's been a decent contributor to my current issues all this time. I never thought of mentioning it to my doctors since food isn't exactly medicine.

Watching pre-Golden Age films really shows how much the Hays Code fucked with lgbt representation for the medium.

There was a lot more queer representation—although still heavily stereotyped—that got pushed back because the US government claimed it could be used for “evil”. And thus the queer villain became a new trope.

Not even American film, European film had much more examples of positive representation that wasn’t as heavily stereotyped. That also changed at some point.

It’s for this reason that I consider the early silent era to be the true Golden Age of Film. You had representation that we still haven’t seen to this day in some cases like an East Asian man being a sex symbol. The Golden Age is only considered the Golden Age because it’s when the major studios benefitted the most. They had more control over the industry and its actors than they ever would.

Yea there were improvements made during the Golden Age as well but I feel the silent era had many as well while also experimenting more than the largely safe content Hollywood churned out during the golden age.

Seems like none of my ID's will need to be renewed until after Trump's term is over. Hopefully I won't have to worry about whether the x gender marker exists then.
