You have NOT watched an event like 9/11 LIVE on television. The closest I can think of in the modern era is the Boston Marathon and that PALES in comparison to what happened that September morning.
A lot of the shit you experience as hardship now is a DIRECT result of 9/11.
In America “Labor Day” means everyone with a fake email job gets the day off and actual laborers have to work twice as hard to keep up with the extra demand created
@wild_trifle_745 personally it was more of a “if doctors know that i’m trans i will get even worse care and taken less seriously” so there were things i wanted to address 1st
then i got impatient & went on t anyway. it wasnt until after starting i heard folks say it actually HELPS in some cases
@nkthingz it seems like they are going to patent it unfortunately. i wish a trans inclusive company would pick it up and make it a lot cheaper. or give options for sizing.
@nkthingz CAKES silicone tape is an expensive but blister free alternative. warning for fem packaging/verbiage.
it’s $50 a set, 3 wears. I have a small chest and am able to bind identical to tape but with no blisters/rash (allergic to adhesive)
I only use for events bc $$$
@turningmystile it all makes sense (and is also sad) that whenever i see a trans guy tweeting about “nondysphorics making us look bad” it’s a 16 year old with half his account about how much he hates himself & how he will never pass while 4 months or less on T
i think a lot of discourse on this app between trans men & women would improve if we understood (trans)misogyny as a structure that is more about upholding the supremacy of cys men as a part of the “in group” than an oppression olympics finding who the MOST oppressed identity is
for a while i was pussyfooting around saying this to not offend some of my trans woman mutuals, but yeah
trans men do not marginalize trans women, and vice versa obviously, the way gender works in these spaces is just different
@cirice_gray@frauleinruby respectfully there are going to be a lot of cringe teenagers on tiktok being cringe. it’s like going to PTA meeting and being surprised there are white moms. “scroll tiktok” go outside !!!!
Mind you, 8 men have committed family annihilation since this trial began. But god forbid a woman say that the fact that men commit a vast majority of all violent crimes impacts the way she sees men
