@Beebothetiger@iggie404@tridzfr I guess. But like many ppl i like my skin but my body horror horrible chud hair keeps growing back and telling me to kys and ruining said skin i lkke
@Beebothetiger@iggie404@tridzfr Like i feel as though this way of thinking on some levels fine, "try to be as happy as is as possible".
But on the other hand it feels like well whats the point of treating trans affirmation as healthcare if the advice is "just be happy with your body and not depressed" yaknow?
@Beebothetiger@iggie404@tridzfr Yea and thats fine. But its also fine to just not feel save or able to relate in those spaces.
Also idk man like this feels like some a nby or trans girl without bottom dysphoria telling a trans girl "dw about surgery just be happy with your body" yaknow?
@Beebothetiger@iggie404@tridzfr Like facial hair. It will grow back. You need like to spend a boat load of money to perma remove it.
So you if youre poor you remove it by shaving etc KNOWING it will return the next daym your body is constantly fighting you and reminding you "you look like a man". Etc
@Beebothetiger@iggie404@tridzfr Yea which is great.
Point being tho especially for trans women where often the things that get rid of dyphoria are harder and more expensive to obtain, that shits body horror.
@Beebothetiger@iggie404@tridzfr Like i get you probably dont mean kt that way and its probably true many trans people can like feel less shit about parts of their body.
But idk dyphoria feels shit and sometimes it wont go away unless youre on hormones or surgery. It isnt the best praxis what you said idk.
@Beebothetiger@iggie404@tridzfr No Tea No Shade: this reads like a terf line.
Youre making yourself sad over the body you hate and feel immense dysphoria over.
@iggie404 I feel like most people like that really mean something like "I feel comfortable with being trans and am happy with the community iv found from it"
Most would say "yes I would click the button that would magical make me a cis woman"

When I was younger people told me I’d regret transitioning 🏳️⚧️
“You’re too young.”
“It’s just a phase.”
“You’ll regret it one day.”
“Just stay a guy.”
For years I listened to them - I tried to convince myself they were right.
But every single day I felt more unhappy 🫤
Eventually I stopped living for other people and now years later ..
I don’t regret becoming a woman 🏳️⚧️
I regret every year I spent pretending I wasn’t one 🥹💗
@VeronicaAwakens Unless you're not referring to the fed?
Also I would love to see the work you're doing in the Greens party to expel the ever present number of transphobic individuals especially in the south.
@VeronicaAwakens Currently there are not many trans people willing to take up office. The only ones recently are a greens candidate and Bridget Clinch (VA).
We do have those in parliament married to trans peoples.
Maybe you and I should run?
Or name some one I can support in preselection?
@VeronicaAwakens Will be getting correspondence back from the AGs office soon (March at the latest) so if it isn't introduced this month I should be able to tweet you when its happening by then. Think the main debate was Which state or legislation to use.
Really can't wait to change my documents!
@VeronicaAwakens They are currently in the drafting/"forming" phase of the bill and it hopefully will be introduced end of this month or March (This years parliament hasn't started yet in qld.)
I was probably too harsh (Lot of stress with the RDB happening).(2/3 actually)
