Edit: I have since realized that I am unsure on the calculation of tax burden is calculated for the chart.

I am skeptical of the representation of the data. My sense for ways to skew data is set off when making statements of segments of population when the segments are not comparable.

I would need a better understanding of the calculation of the values reported to be able to justify that the top 20% are split into smaller groups than they’re being compared to.

As an enby trans person, it was checking in my early teens for surgery scars of sex determination assuming that I had been intersex and that my parents chose a gender and being disappointed that there were none but still hoping that it was too early to have developed noticeable scars.

tbh This one comes across as a bit shaming of nonconforming gender expression as the butt of the joke.

What is your "trail of hobbies"?

Found myself starting to think about trying some new thing that sounded cool, and realized it might be fun to think about all of the random interests, crafts, hobbies and pursuits I’ve chased on tangents to my life. It’s easy to feel like a bum or a failure for dropping hobbies and that could cause hesitation in starting...

Specifically for progesterone:

Con: near constant ravenous hunger Pro: greater difference in fat distribution, especially top growth

Fucked up my eyebrows. Need help

I was pretty bored earlier so I thought “hm I wonder what I would look like with thicker eyebrows.” Mind you, I’ve never touched makeup in my life. I know next to nothing about it. I found a stick that said “CoverGirl easy breezy eyebrow” and then put some on my eyebrows. I said “cool” and then tried to get it off....

Make up wipes or creams are ideal.

Big thing is that these are not water-based and require a little bit of solvent help get along. One of the safest things to try would probably be a little bit of olive oil.

Honestly, dating apps can be really good for this. Although polyamorous, I state in my profile that I am also open to just friends and my interests. Two of my best friends I met 4 years ago via Tinder. There are plenty of folks looking for friends on them. It especially seems like that for OKC.

Edit: most of my trans friends have been on a local discord community or through people I met on it.

I am living it, and I am living my best life.

Agender/enby with a nebulous connection to gender at best. For me, I will be ever in transition for as long as I’m alive and adapting. And I take comfort in that.

But for a more serious answer:

Between the milestones of recognizing that I am trans and accepting myself - mental health care (including HRT), support from my friends and partners, and a whole lot of introspection. I’m grateful to have the privilege of all that. And I wish it was more accessible.

I consider non-binary identities raised with an enforced binary socialization like myself have every reason to identify as trans. That’s not explicitly displayed in Nimona, but I can confirm that I felt represented and had an incredibly emotional reaction to the film.

Also: there is at least one trans pride flag colors not-so-hidden in the movie. 🏳️‍⚧️

I’m curious if this visualization is like my own. I can very vividly imagine an apple but then the web of thought expands out, and I’m near simultaneously visualizing different colors, shapes, varieties, artistic representations, states of being eaten or degraded, and viewed at different angles, lighting, and settings in rapid succession, so that all the images overlap in a blur of what it is that’s meant by apple.

I am enby but not a wiggler. A partner, a former partner, and a play partner of mine however — big-time wiggly enbies.

The one I enjoyed the most was probably Nippon, but that’s been a long time top tier game for me, and it was an especially tight game.

They’re words that have been having less and less meaning to me over the last couple years.

To me, they’re the extremes of what society says are the inconsistent rules. I have been increasingly drawn to queerness, and the refusal to align with a single of these in favor of being one’s self.

I have been more in touch with aspects of both since transitioning. Same for shedding a lot of the toxic expectations of both. And that has only highlighted that it’s a socially enforced binary.

That is awesome for you. I have loved reclaiming my masculinity since letting go of it. I feel like I’ve just had an everlasting emergence and metamorphosis rather than a singular hatching.

I wish there was a similar community here, but the vibes over at r/ftmfemininity are emaculate.

Similar. It was throwing me off while programming though (especially with vim key bindings), so I’m currently trying quotes in the same position but under a different layer on my Moonlander. Most likely going to switch back to quotes to default layer, colon as secondary, and keep backtick in the third layer.

Like mentioned elsewhere, folks with menstruation cycles are well known to show exacerbated ADHD symptoms with the fluctuations in hormones.

Progesterone made my ADHD a lot worse. Second biggest reason I stopped taking it once getting up to where I wanted to be in top growth. (first being that I was constantly ravenously hungry)

Going back on spironolactone has made it better though. Missing my evening doses of that and estradiol will throw me off a bit the next day.

TLDR; the non-monogomous community has a generally lower tolerance for the toxic social norms common among cis-het men. A man that finds himself impatient with his success in dating might consider that it makes sense for non-men to be cautious of all men, and he might need to do the work to recognize he might be the one that needs to learn what others expect of him to be found attractive.

Piercings and nail polish really are so excepted now for men by the general public, that it is super easy to get away with that.

Shaving was a huuuuuuuuuuuuge step for me, as my facial hair was a masculinity mask of sorts. NGL, I cried through it. I wish I could snap my fingers and switch between not/having a full beard again.

I did a similar thing with slow transition with doing more femme presentation. Would love to hear how things have gone since so much can happen in the span of months, ie how long it’s been since this was first posted

Awesome. I’m glad you’ve been finding things to try out and stay comfortable with it.
