autogynephilia is literally old debunked pseudoscience. some cis women get aroused from feeling sexy yet no one is questioning their gender based on that.

People keep telling me this but where are the citations backing this up?

Haha, we’re literally in the same boat then! Unfortunately I had to update my account on the crypto exchange I use and they ran out of the vials I wanted before it got fixed

Thanks for linking the source <3

They truly are desperate to replace us

Poste restante works. With that we can order to certain post offices and go pick it up ourselves.

Dang. I love VC, but unfortunately they don’t ship to my country anymore. I would buy some vials otherwise

I think many of us just stay away from locker rooms and public bathrooms as much as possible because we want to avoid being stared at or getting into uncomfortable situations with others making a scene. I’m no athlete, but I try to not go to public bathrooms and I plan my life accordingly. I’ve gone a few times and it has been problem free each time, but people do look at me as they go by because I don’t pass.

How safe we feel going into a locker room is gonna depend on who we go with, where we go and how tolerated we are in that area, how confident we are, and to what degree we pass.

If someone I know invites me anywhere which requires going into a locker room I’m likely gonna tell them no. Maybe I’m overly anxious and it would go just fine, but I’m not interested in rolling the dice with how people are gonna react.

Edit: I do go to the gym, but like most people post covid I show up in my gym wear. I don’t think there even is a locker room there.

Å dæven, har ikke tenkt på båtis på lenge

They only go after people sharing files, and typically only people sharing lots of files. Technically when you torrent you are sharing files, but they don’t usually go after regular seeders. Sometimes your internet provider might ask you to stop being a pirate but that’s the most likely bad consequence for a regular pirate. Direct downloads, streaming, and usenet doesn’t involve actual sharing of files and so is perfectly legal, or at least not something that has consequences.

There’s also stuff you can do to make it less likely that your illicit activities will be detected, but that’s not something I know a lot about. I imagine VPNs can help with this sorta stuff.

Your wife is right that some people do go to prison for this, but that’s usually people like the ones behind pirate bay and similar.

I’m not a half queer half law person, so take what I have to say with lots of salt and pepper.

It is

It’s magical being able to just be content, isn’t it? I thought contentedness just meant “not bad” until I got on HRT and got to actually feel happy and content :3

I’m very happy for you, cow!

I already link several of their pages. I suppose I could link this page there: https://transfemscience.org/articles/transfem-intro/

Edit: and now I do!

I should add dragonordnance is apparently very sketch. They reportedly selectively scam people and are very transphobic. PPL is better but has a slightly sketch reputation as well, but I’ve personally had success with them. Sorry for the year late reply but since your comment is prominent on the resource post I just wanted to comment on it :P

Please stop calling us “males” and “females”

This has been up for 17 hours and the mods haven’t done shit. disgraceful

Can I recommend giving this a read? It’s a great resource for getting a decent understanding of some trans stuff. Covers a lot of what we feel and go through, and also the effects of hormones and such. There’s a chapter on intersex conditions also. Lots of good stuff!

Eneste som ikke er lov er testosteron og sånt for transmaske :( Østrogen, blokkere, og progesteron er ikke ulovlig (sånn som jeg forstår det iaf) men er ikke lov å selge.

Ja om det du kjøper blir tatt i tollen (som skjer ofte desverre), så tar de det, men så lenge du ikke svarer på noe så får du ikke noe problemer. Kan hende de sender brev og spør om du har resept og sånt, og da svarer man ikke altså. De fleste selgere har 1 gratis omsending om ting blir tatt, men etter det så må man kjøpe på nytt. Sjekk at det de sender forkledes som noe annet, det er ganske viktig for at ting ofte skal komme gjennom. Kalles gjerne stealth.

Personlig har ca 50%-70% kommet gjennom?

Om du skal kjøre DIY anbefaler jeg at du leser grunndig og nøye gjennom guider og om stoffene etc. Kort fortalt er det tryggeste å ta kun østrogen gjennom injeksjoner. De andre metodene krever som regel at du også tar en hormon blokker som over tid ikke er optimale for helsen din. De er ikke super dårlige i de dosene vi tar for HRT men om du kan unngå dem er det best. Jeg anbefaler ikke piller. Det er den verste måten å ta østrogen på. Om sprøyter høres skummelt ut (det er skummelt til å starte med men er egentlig veldig chill!) så kan du prøve spray eller gelé i stedet! Det fungerer veldig bra, men man må ta flere ganger per dag da i stedet for 1 gang per uke som med injeksjon.

Jeg anbefaler uansett da at du ber om å bli referert til riksen, selv om du bestemmer deg for å gjøre ting på egenhånd. De har lange ventelister, men om du får kjønnsinkongruensdiagnose av dem får du statsstøtte på diverse greier som hårfjerning, kirurgi, stemmetrening, osv.

Telling trans people that disclosing their trans status in medical contexts on the surface seems defensible, but it seems to me that it may be more motivated by a desire to reduce trans people to their assigned sex in medical contexts, which in the end is less about good medicine and more about cis-sexist norms.

Yeah. I’ve yet to have a medical professional gender me correctly in reports. I’m a man who thinks he’s a woman to them. They all seem so pleasant until I read their reports and see what they were actually thinking.

Edit: This is Jorunn btw :P just with my lemmy account
