I’m old enough to remember when they hated on straight men for grooming themselves and casting about how they looked (“metrosexual”).

Just call it a dick or a cock. We don't have a special word for a girl's leg. Mine's the same as any guy's. Well, better, for sure.

"All this trans stuff is annoying I wish we could just focus on basketball" yeah imagine how fucking annoying it is for trans people

The irony for me is that I do need more protein! I'm lifting heavy at the gym and my diet tends towards carbs and fats because that's what's tasty. But these protein-rich foods aren't appealing at all. They just seem nasty. Who are these even for?

Wild that the topic was how to reframe the issue so that trans rights can be publicly supported by candidates and you’ve somehow made it about yourself. You’re not arguing in good faith, friend.

FWIW, Mamdani was visibly, vocally pro-trans rights. It’s a winning issue, actually. If you can’t support us publicly, it’s probably because you don’t support us privately.

“Trans rights are not special rights, they are part and parcel of the same rights we all enjoy as Americans. They tried this same playbook when they opposed marriage equality, and giving them even an inch is how they gain ground to reverse rights like they did with Roe.” It’s not hard to support us

This might be a “the video explains this” sort of thing, but: What’s the trans angle on nail polish? I get specific tips for makeup, but isn’t nail polish advice kind of universal for all genders?

I'm definitely flirting ambiently with damn near everyone, and it's kind of like echolocation where if they flirt back I then need to evaluate if we're flirting with intent. Except I'm still kind of bad at picking up their flirts, so sometimes I'm really unsure if I should up the intensity.

I think I got mine from FashioNation in Denver iirc.

LOL I have that exact top. Can't wait til my BA to wear it again. 😍

It is best for the company to make money. It is best for the people who *run* the company to command a high salary and (crucially) have a sense of control. Empowering artists makes money, but it costs executives control. That's why they dismiss movies like Sinners as flukes instead of funding more.

cis people have names and we have Preferred Names™. cis people have pronouns and we have Preferred Pronouns™. cis people have healthcare and we have Gender Affirming Care™. well, if we get it at all. lol!

As someone hovering around a BMI of 29 in an athletic body, I’ve never had a doctor bring up my weight. They use BMI just as a shield against criticism, but it’s always anti-fatness. If you look the way they want you to, you get a free pass.

Cis women be like: The menopause is so horrible! (It is, yes). Whatever shall I dooooo? Trans women: HRT? Cis women: Is there no end to my unavoidable lamentations? Trans women: I’ve got loads. You want some? Cis women: I’ve tried nothing and I’m all out of ideas. Trans women: Hello? Oestrogen?

"I tried going back to my teen self, and I couldn't convince her. So instead I went back and convinced myself to start at 37 instead of 40. Then *she* went back and convinced me to start at 32. Then *she* went back to when I was 25... It's all about remembering what I felt like at those points."

Hormones are absolutely necessary for life, especially in the long term, and I have an example of doctors twice choosing only my hormones as something to discontinue while they considered everything else good to go. You’re just wrong, buddy. They do this without reason.

Actually they do just stop treatment for no reason. For both surgeries I’ve had this year, my care instructions told me to discontinue hormones. Just straight-up trying to put me into menopause without explanation or date to restart. I took my hormones anyway because I care for myself.
