The Israeli Foreign Ministry posted a video message addressed to Ireland on X warning that “recognizing a Palestinian state will lead to more terrorism, instability in the region and jeopardize any prospects for peace.” Sounds like a threat
I’ll have been on hrt for 1 month in 3 days, it’s been pretty nice. My symptoms were never crippling, but I’ve gone from being essentially dead inside to being able to feel a sense of wonder at the sunset <3 I was very worried that it wouldn’t help as most accounts I’ve read about trans peoples experiences are from people with more severe symptoms, but I figured it was worth a shot.
It’s been around a month since I started questioning my gender. I’m really confused on all of this, seeing a therapist would help but that’s not an option for me at the moment (don’t want to go into details about that here). Biggest source of confusion for me is the fact that there are some strong signs that I’m trans...
I found it very helpful to stop worrying about labels and words. They are nice for getting a feel for the possibilities and to convey ideas to others, but at the end of the day they will always be imprecise and lacking.
Feeling like you don’t fit into the gender binary is pretty common among trans people, and plenty of cis people rebel against it as well, so don’t worry about whether or not you are an archetypical trans or cis person or whatever.
The only thing you need to ask yourself is “is there some other way of being that would make me happier/more comfortable?”
Maybe you want to change how you dress and present yourself?
Maybe you want to act and carry yourself somewhat differently?
Maybe you want to change your name or your pronouns?
Maybe you want to try makeup, shaving, or doing something dfiferent with your hair?
Maybe you feel your brain would work better with different hormones, or that your body isn’t quite to your liking?
For some people mentally exploring their identity is enough.
Try anything you suspect might spark some joy, and don’t worry about anything else. I realize not all of these things are equally easy to test out depending on your circumstances :(
Also check out the gender dysphoria bible in the sidebar if you haven’t already, It’s a very good read.
What’s with all the tankies recently? If they wanted to change things for the better they would organize and vote for biden, even if he sucks. The organizing is the important part anyways, voting is just damage control.
EDIT: In case it was unclear, I do not mean organize to vote for biden.
I am very much pro palestine. I’m sorry I was not aware this was a primary, in that case voting against biden makes a lot more sense. I meant unionize in the normal way, as you defined it. Unions are an excellent place to also organize protests etc. Unions are absolutely tied to political movements. Here in norway they are/were associated with the workers party, a social democratic party, however they (the party) have been drifting farther and farther towards the center over the years.
I’ve seen people discus the election and no one brought up that it was a primary, so I foolishly assumed it wasn’t.
It’s a spinoff of a movie (by the same name), and the first season is somewhat slow. I really recommend watching the movie btw, it’s absolutely worth it.
It should be noted that evolution doesn’t care about individuals, so not only behavior which increases an individuals chances of having children are incentivized. Evolution happens in a population, which is why it is advantageous for a group to have selfless traits.
I honestly thought this was a parody at first. Imagine believing people should suffer needlessly because they think god says so when a harmless cure exists.
Take breaks (ideally in the form of walks), explain the problems you’re trying to solve to people willing to listen or to inanimate objects (rubber ducking), and engage in as many different perspectives and ways to approach problems as manageable (as opposed to as many as possible).
Your subconscious will sometimes work on issues in the background as you take walks/take a shower/etc, and knowing different ways to organize and approach things will give your mind more ways to consider when working.
Working continuously on problems without taking breaks can trap your mind in little loops, where all you’re doing is trying to solve things in different variations of the same thing over and over, Escape the loop, and remember that you and your subconscious are parts of the same whole.
I’m a transguy who transitioned in the 2000s and have had top surgery. I toured a gym that has a beautiful sauna, steam room, and hot tub that I’d like to join, but clothes are not permitted in any of the above. I’m worried about running into trouble if I go naked....
Ireland and Spain have followed Norway in announcing their recognition of a Palestinian state (www.dw.com)
Norway, Spain, and Ireland will recognize an independent Palestinian state as of May 28....
Should I give up HRT to save money since it doesn't work for me and is having no real impact.
