@alittleleader if you HAVEN'T ever heard a woman describe, and then immediately minimize, sexual assault, its probably because women don't trust you. wonder why.
@dnphriends i'm always so fascinated how ppl who are attracted to men seem to think penises are gross? i'm gay and i like all genitals amd think they're all aesthetically pleasing - in the proper context that is not unsolicited dick pics, which is maybe where they lose some appeal lol?
something no one tells you about transitioning is that even if you are gay, straight men will find your friendship with their gfs threatening and drive a wedge between the two of you, and its. very lonely to experience.
@hexdwimo and i don't mean that as a jab at anyone, it took me a couple years to move out of my parent's house and start T. just that, yes patriarchy is a prison, but some of the freedom you're looking for is in medical transition.
@hexdwimo i used a binder and stopped coloring my hair and wore plain clothes, it didn't help at all. what helped was testosterone and top surgery. now i am consistently gendered correctly ๐คทโโ๏ธ
@documense people act like nonbinary means Something Specific as opposed to like. an umbrella term for a wide range of feelings, needs, and expressions? its bizarre.
@thintechgodhead 2/2 so like "why are trans women not given this advice" seems obvious - because our anatomies are not really a 1-1 comparison? some things are just physically different?
@thintechgodhead 1/2 i'm not sure what you're saying? i was agreeing with you that there is a reason to leave an ovary. just adding to your point that trans men are in a different position, if we desire to be sterilized, bc that can easily be done in a way where we still have emergency hormones.
why are people like "what situation are you so scared of where you would permanently lose access to hormones, the collapse of civilization?" like...yes? have you looked outside recently?
@Shattubatu more like, i'm afraid of not having water, so i keep sprite embedded in my skin for emergencies. its a poor substitute, but its better than nothing. bodies need sex hormones for more than just secondary sex characteristics, it effects bone health and such.
thereโs something sooo beautifully ironic about how many hoops you have to jump through to get ADHD medication when my ADHD is literally the Bad At Doing Tasks Disorder
