the thing about poking and prodding and going “oh huh look at this lie I was telling myself let’s see what’s under there” is, it usually hurts. Good to do, but hurts. 😑

huh they’re not perfect and are hampered by the fact that they’re still clinical guidelines and so still bound by the available research and there’s two or three other things I would like to see in them and stuff, but AUSPATH’s 2025 SOC is fucking miles ahead of WPATH SOC8

is "cried in therapy for the first time" a milestone? asking for a me

The day I learned "...wait I don't have to wade into [discourse] or respond to [asshole being an asshole] it's fine" is the day my life became a little easier

pick a selfie from your gallery and turn it black and white

i wish i could believe it when i say “so much of these problems vanish if injections with the good esters were baseline via prescription like they are with T” (afaik?) but then again i know so many trans guys get slow rolled on effective dosing 🙄

at this point, everything else i learn about pattie gonia is against my will lol insane to me that a cis dude wearing a woman costume gets more support from liberals than actual women lmao i wanna die

Someone actually did a study a while back that showed the most effective way to get women out of TERF groups wasn’t people trying to change their minds, it was them getting literally any benign hobby, like learning other languages or taking up needlework

Happy Pride Month. If you're a gay man, please remember your power. People often think that gay men are innately fashionable, which means if you wear some stupid shit for long enough, straight people, including homophobes, will copy you and then you can laugh at them.

For trans girls it's music taste

fearlessly scrolling bsky with nsfw visible in the middle of a meetup

love to complicate that “something is simmering on the edge of my mood and I can’t tell what yet” with “and it might not even be mine”

Black lives matter. No human being is illegal. Abolish the police. Happy Pride.🧱

happy gay month, straights go away

“help im too feral to fall asleep” is a novel problem to have

also and this is crucial, if youre cis and youre considering suicide just try hormones once before you do it, if it works for you it will fix your shit in ways previously unimagined and if your alternative is dying anyway you have literally nothing to lose in trying it out

ain’t a suit but last halloween i felt comfortable enough to go as “boymoding” worked a little too well with as short as my hair still was then

neat

and honestly, if you have 18+ access to reddit, you can probably find the information there! so many existing threads where people openly share the practical reality of life & sex with post-GRS bodies, months and years later (bc it can take over a year to get max sensation in all those nerves!)

Why did you transition, right answers only Once I remembered I’d always wanted to, what the fuck else was I gonna do?

injections with a 27ga needle are so good you don’t feel shit I shoulda switched earlier

Past-Itch Publishing is pleased to announce the forthcoming release of AFTERTASTE: A TOXIC YURI by @emoria.bsky.social — coming in June!!

the Her app really is just fucking full of bots poorly posing as monogamous lesbians good grief

They made her a cake at work lmao

ELECTROLYSIS WORKERS ON STRIKE!!!!! Real You Electrolysis Workers United in Vancouver Washington (just over the bridge from Portland) are on strike against hideous retaliatory firings from management, donate to their strike fund!!!! Moreover, ICE must be destroyed www.gofundme.com/f/support-re...

Cameron Park Zoo in Waco TX has a new black-footed cat kitten (Felis nigripes). It's exploring grass for the 1st time here. This species is the smallest wild cat in Africa, but with the highest hunting success (~60%). They eat 1/6th their body weight in rodents & birds every night.

for the longest time my retrospective past view of self was like, “I was that guy and now im me, and if I’d transitioned younger I’d just be a different person” which tbf is consistent with my general beliefs on “what makes a person a person”.

omg it’s so cute and probably incredibly venomous

Lesbian Ramona Flowers: "If you want to date me you have to hang out with me and my seven perfectly cordial exes who are now dating each other in various configurations. Also we're in a band."

and newly out ppl, PLEASE don't feel offended or hurt if a trans friend who previously seemed into you is no longer interested. it's not that im not into the real you, it's that you're a BABY and i don't feel comfortable being intimate with someone in such a vulnerable state!!!

if you help someone realize that they're trans under absolutely no circumstances should you be having sex with them until they're self-sufficient in their new gender

okay but a couple days of processing into that and breaking into book two and this is the most adorable thing

this is an incredibly TIL thread like damn

My enemies are fucking losers

hey, anyone do subq injections with 5/16" needles? I ordered 1/2" but they *sent* 5/16" and I'm irritatedly trying to decide whether they're suitable for use or I should exchange (actual user isn't me but rather someone much smaller and skinnier than me)

9 years ago, i came out to my wife as nonbinary because i thought it was too late & i could survive it “as a compromise” (not how gender works). ~4 years ago, i came out to her again like, “but it’s way too late now; i wouldn’t survive full-on transition.” 3 years ago today, i did my first shot. 🎂

I know it’s not a new observation hut my partner got me watching and I’m like oh it’s @magicariot.com just not

starting and finishing the first book of wyffh the same day all my cope barriers about “late” transition failed and I had to face up to the fact that I do regret not knowing to/being able to transition earlier, actually, sure was a choice 🙃

james white is actually just respecting queer culture by making flesh and blood's first nonbinary person completely useless and nonfunctional

“trans woman” = “a type of woman” “transwoman” = a third thing, something else not as though i imagine anyone who follows me doesn’t already know this but, ya know 🤷🏻‍♀️

not to call anyone out specifically: many cises responding they didn't know and imo that speaks to how most ppl have done no work interrogating the transphobia they've spent their lives absorbing. would you say that i am a whitewoman or a jewishwoman? i bet you wouldn't, even by accident!

seeing "transwoman" creep back into the non-TERF vernacular is some crazy work

although just turning them off entirely sure does cut down on the amount of discourse I see, that’s for fucking sure

I wish I could like, have reskeets on in my feed but also selectively turn them off on a user by user basis

it’s probably a good thing in the long run but gosh it sure does hurt when a cope dam breaks and you realize whoops maybe you felt worse or more strongly or whatever about something than you let yourself believe

the fastest ive ever seen "male socialization" debunked was the time in a gender studies class three cis men argued if trans women had male privilege for like ten minutes while a trans girl sat patiently with her hand up the whole time

it’s fun to see a post and immediately know you’re going to be seeing screenshots of it circulating for the rest of time. it’s nice when the post is funny, but it’s even better when the post also makes a good point

ugh
