Hahaha, ok, the signal boost can stand down!! I've heard from several great folks and am spoiled for choice! If anyone is REALLY into the gig I'll be deciding on Tuesday Nov 23 so reach out before then :)
I want to hire a medical illustrator to improve the wikipedia articles on trans surgeries!!! I will pay market rates for illustrations, including whatever is needed to buy out the copyright & release them Creative Commons, but I don't know who to hire! Please boost!
@wren_needs_rest @DarthK8er My DMs are open!! Official credentials or whatever are not important to me if the artist can do the job and I'd love to find someone for whom it would be a really good gig, rather than just... googling random freelance illustrators
@mcmillen@raxsha That sounds really, really cool but also not like something that would solve my problem! I need something "encyclopedic" and something where the artists would be willing to sell their copyright. But I do have some leads!!
I am tired of having medical gore on these places which should be a useful, informative place for people to learn about transitioning. Metoidioplasty in particular needs a high-quality illustration to be able to get the gore off the article, but I'd love to do lots of them!
@Azure_Husky One reason I suggest this is that my last encounter with transphobes was seeing them insist on front-loading tons of gory pics for metoidio on the argument that no other/better images were available. 2/2)
@Azure_Husky (I mean-- "welcome"-- there are transphobes on wikipedia, obvs, but they are clearly in the wrong re: wikipedia policies & norms (in addition to being in the wrong in other ways) so I could deal with them. 1/2
If you don't know whether your area is prone to flooding, your city/county may have a GIS web site that shows floodplain info with at-risk areas. Here's one for Wake County, NC. https://t.co/OnkOkBHwwV

We're looking for a transgender actress for a major part in a US TV series - if this is you please do get in touch! And please RT to get the word around.
I kind of can't believe it. I just bought plane tickets to fly back to Toronto for TWELVE HOURS because it is cheaper and faster than convincing an American doctor to give me testosterone, a medication which I have taken for the past decade.
So, Day Two of "trying to get like 2mL of T to see me through my trip to LA" and... I have three more phone calls to try, and then I am pretty sure I am going to buy a plane ticket back to Toronto for a single day.
@cronehead@GlitterFemme I really appreciate the help! Unfortunately, I've just given up. Especially since I don't have insurance in the US, I just don't think there's anything to be found which will be cheaper and faster than the $300 flight home I just booked for tomorrow morning.
