I don’t really have any advice or anything, but I hope you can find some reason to keep going. It sucks feeling alone, even more so when you’re with other people.

Transitioning fucking sucks. Even if you have good results, it’s a mess to deal with, physically and socially, and those difficulties make it mentally taxing as well. Like a lot of social media, we tend to only see the really exceptional cases, and not the reality a lot of us will live with.

I wish I had something to say that could take your pain away, but I don’t. At some point, we all have to find a reason to keep going for ourselves. For me, it’s my cat. It’s nothing, in the grand scheme of things, but I’m all he has, and that’s enough to keep me going. At least for today.

Keep reaching out. Keep trying. In the end, that’s all we can really do.

Wait until you learn about the Honored Matres.

One of her symbols is an 8-pointed star. I like to wear one as a necklace as a low key way to display my pride and still be safe.

This guy Jorchs.

Better yet, Luthor has Batson in his entourage, so everyone thinks Captain Marvel is rolling at his side all the time. Until Batman realizes it’s just… Billy Batson.

As a trans girl, I get a lot of interest from other trans girls, so it checks out for me.

It’s why papers in college have word limits - you need to be able to pick what’s most important and make your point.

Yeah, I was going to give this a watch, but 6 hours? I think I got the main points from the synopsis.

I love to rag on Star Wars as much as any salty millennial, but fucking get on with it.

I don’t use Linux, but I love penguins, and I want to chill with this Lil guy

I could, but when I get a generic message from a blank profile, I just make fun of them instead.

Correct

Grindr. Cause I’m sure you want to see the ads, lol

It truly embiggens the spirit of the game.

Just want to comment on the “trap is ok/not ok debate.”

It’s totally cool if you or your partner(s) identity as a trap. As an older trans girl, being a trap was a badge of honor. It meant not only do you pass, but you’re fucking hot. Almost like a trap/not trap distinction of attractiveness (which is also horribly misogynistic and demeaning), but it was a qualifier.

So I get it, part of me likes the idea of being called that - in a private, contextual sense. But the problem is the word and the connotation it has in the general zeitgeist, which implies that a trans person (typically a trans woman) “tricks” a man into having sex with her, and then deserves whatever happens to her, regardless of how dehumanizing it may be.

It is the horrible, completely unjustifiable rationale behind the Panic Defense, and that’s why it is a term that needs to be buried. Continued use of it is an unconscious signal that trans women are perpetrating some kind of deception just by existing in a man’s field of vision (if, of course, she comes close enough to cis white heteronormtive standards of beauty).

Be woke. Don’t say trap (except in the bedroom. And then smack my ass a little 😋).

Lmao, yeah, I just downloaded it. Find myself playing it waaaaay too often now

Slay the Spire. It’s so challenging that it’s always engaging when I play it.

I’m trans and work in Healthcare, and I often just queer as a catch all phrase instead of using the whole acronym. It’s easier to say and most queer folk are not offended by it.

That being said, I try to use the specific group names when I am personally talking to patients, as I think it’s empowering to hear them in a way that doesn’t assign normative value.
