Cate Blanchett is out to increase the representation of women as well as transgender and nonbinary people in filmmaking — but she wonders why it’s only women who are asked to help with this.
I am using Bepanthen Scar for my top surgery scars and it surprised me. Just one use and my scars got so much softer that it is hard for me not to keep touching them. It is like a nice claming stim...
It feels so beautiful to be able to touch my chest like this. <3
If you have had top surgery a nonth ago or longer, I really recommend these scar gels. They make a huge difference in the healing process. :D
In 2020, Swedish neuroscientists put 30 trans and 30 cis research subjects into a brain scanner and showed them pictures of their bodies. Then they showed them images where their body had been morphed to look more masculine or more feminine. The results support the natural order of gender identity.
I never really formally posted a "coming out" post but I guess to keep people on the same page:
SirTapTap -> SerTapTap (gender neutral)
Any Pronouns -> She/Her
Cis -> Trans
? -> Genderfluid
I've been making little changes for a month or so now, still lots of text to fix.
I'll probably be commissioning a girlier TapTap and some rebranding here and there:
Let me know if you have any #twitch#youtube#discord#vtuber emoji/branding etc tips. No idea what I'm doing
Today on Assigned, a story about SEGM in Undark sought balance, but it wasn't careful enough with the misinformation peddlers at that organization, allowing errors and misleading statements to sneak into an otherwise balanced article.
New Hampshire’s legislature passed three sweeping anti-trans bills in one day, and they are now heading to the desk of Gov. Chris Sununu, a Republican often touted as a moderate on social issues.
On Assigned today, Alyssa Steinsiek has a story about a ban on women in specific events for a sport that is more typically mixed gender and has no particular gender advantages or disadvantages. #trans#news#sports
Way to go, sailing. Ride that anti-trans bandwagon!
Es gibt keine evidenzbasierte empirische Forschung zur „explorativen Psychotherapie“, die wirksam sei bei der Behandlung von #trans Kindern. Es gibt keine Untersuchungen, die beweisen, dass geschlechtliche Wahrnehmungen bei Kindern „falsch“ sein und welche Ursachen das haben könnte. Deshalb ist psychologische Unterstützung keine „alternative“ Behandlung für trans Kinder.
Mae Dean quote-boosted the author that wrote this blog post on Bluesky and I figured linking it here would be useful for my followers, particularly #transfems planning on/currently taking/thinking about taking #estrogen and maybe #progesterone if uncertain about the 1-2 year "maximum effect" thing studies mention, because (spoiler) they weren't long enough: https://stainedglasswoman.substack.com/p/transition-timelines
J'ai cru comprendre qu'il y avait une une marche le #26mai pour les droits #trans. Je serai à Paris à ce moment là mais je trouve aucune info, quelqu'un sait ?

Gender euphoria provides profound joy for transgender individuals by affirming their true gender identity, countering the distress of gender dysphoria.
What happens after the end of the second year of hormonal transition, once all the doctors say you've seen everything you're going to see. Why is it that basically everyone sees... well, a heck of a lot more?
This week on #StainedGlassWoman, we're talking about Transition Timelines, and the science--and lack thereof--of later transition!
