Synthesized hormones are one of the truly greatest wonders of modern medicine. It's alleviated suffering and complications for millions of cis people around the world, let alone us trans folk. In this, we have a nuke against transphobic nonsense, and we need to get trigger happy with it.

For a long time now, hogs have been working towards getting HRT for all trans people banned in various states. I read an article recently where conservative Ohio local law makers expressly said that that was their intent to work towards and that banning it for kids was the first step, as well as their coordinated efforts to do the same in neighboring states. We've known for a long time that this is a pretty universal playbook, build the underpinning of your ultimate goal by passing less sweeping laws and gradually turn up the restrictions. Likewise, the tactics that they use in their rhetoric is to manipulate their emotions - tell people that kid's genitals are being mutilated and it'll get people riled up enough to not think critically about the premise. 'Who doesn't abhor the idea of children being abused?.. The blue haired communist abusers, that's who!'

This framing of course does not hold up to scrutiny, and I'm not going to preach to the choir on why - the point is this, framing is powerful. Even more powerful, is if the framing simply reflects material reality. If trans folks are actually abusing kids, it'd be pretty damning and then they can say 'see, bunch of sickos!' or whatever. Propagandists have manufactured hoax situations out of whole cloth to try do this, and they frequently fizzle out for obvious reasons. Then the think pieces and op-eds come out and say 'yeah, but what if they did abuse kids?!' to keep this thought in the news cycle and spreading the brain worms.

This weapon however, is a double edged sword, and we can wield it to greater effect because we have material evidence. Remember the hog politicians in Ohio I mentioned? Yeah, these freaks love to tell on themselves and they have been for quite some time. The goal is this - abolition of synthesized hormones - especially birth control. I'm not putting so much effort as to search out the reporting right at the moment, but we've seen it time and again that that's what they want. (CW: CSA/Incest reference in the following sentence) They regressed abortion in the US, and it's created an uproar and back lash when people read about the law trying to force a 10 year old to give birth. People were rightfully sickened by this, and it finally hit home for some. When people see the horrors of what these policies do, they run the other way. And people will start to become alarmed when you are able to frame things into something that will directly impact them. Abolition of synthesized hormones would mean that testosterone and estrogen wouldn't be able to help people through mid-life body changes. Low T sucks for men, low E is a part of the misery of menopause. In our conversations and rhetoric, we need to be hitting on this non-stop. Everyone knows someone who deals with these issues at some point, my dad is quite the hog, but being able to take supplemental testosterone has given him a new lease on life - he'll be able to understand this at a deep level.

Likewise, if you have these conversations, we need to call these things what they are - gender affirming care. The cis are more like us than they know, and they will sooner or later feel the pain of a body that is not doing what you need it to do and be. This is humanizing and normalizing a fact of life, while connecting it to our fact of life. These are talking points relate to every age, every walk of life, every income strata.

The enduring philosophy is that of human connection, not destruction. We can win this this battle, we can liberate ourselves and others from the misery of the past, and we can create a better world.

just to clarify, they didn't tell me until after i came out but still i was pissed that i was able to read that easy

it's how she describes herself lmao

I hope everyone had a great week last week. Hopefully this one turns out even better for everyone.

For me, it's definitely the bone shedding. I was just minding my business the other day when pieces of my left femur suddenly erupted out of my skin. I rushed to the ER but was told that that was just a normal effect of taking HRT. I was given a pair of crutches, and told to put the pieces of bone under my pillow for the Bone Fairy. I woke up to find $100 under my pillow. Really looking forward to my girlybones growing in!!! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

The sex/gender distinction of the 20th century and now deeply popular among LGBT+ circles in the 21st century was one step forwards, two steps backwards. Although it provides a simple "explanation" of trans people, it ultimately cements sex and thus patriarchy as the natural state of things. Human sex has always been a social concept with biological justifications applied retroactively and selectively. The proletarianization of women and advances in medical science lay bare the absurdity of sex and for the first time in human history create the conditions for the world-historical abolition of sex and male supremacy. As the proletarian revolution self-abolishes the proletariat, so too does the transsexual-feminist social revolution self-abolish the woman and transsexual. Down with cisgenderism!

idk what I'm looking for from this post. But I'm honestly fine with how my face looks. But unless I look feminine, most bi-women are going to keep assuming I want to dom and top without even asking (aka treat me like a man...). Lesbians won't be attracted to me. 99% of people won't perceive me as a women and interact the same they do with other women

I think I can get FFS lined up in some months but I feel extremely weird changing my face so drastically and suddenly. I'm dissociating extremely hard rn just thinking about it. I can't imagine how bad it'd be after the surgeries. I feel like I'd lose a big part of my identity. I'm deathly afraid of looking into a mirror and not recognizing the face staring back at me

There's something about the face being by far the premier identifier for human beings here. Because if they were easy/safe, I totally would get surgeries to contract my shoulders and ribcage in an instant LOL

Honestly, so much of what I do to transition is just so the world will interact with me like a woman. I also quite like my "natural" deep heavy 75hz voice tbh. But I'm still voice training at a light valley girl 200-250hz range because I can't look masculine and have that deep a voice for people to treat me like a woman. At least the voice training is okay though, it was something that I developed in steps + I can still talk nearly the same as I did previously when I want so I don't feel divorced from who I am

Gender in its current form is so fucking stupid I want something like what some indigenous cultures had

Cutis masculinus virus and cutis femininus virus are the two members of the cutisvirus family known to infect humans. It is estimated that >90% of the world's population has been infected with a cutisvirus at one point or another. While the viruses may also be contracted through exchange of bodily fluids, they are still primarily spread by skin-to-skin contact, hence the name cutisvirus from the Latin word for "skin". Early-stage cutis masculinus infection may cause uterine hyperplasia, and early-stage cutis femininus infection may cause prostatic hyperplasia, both resulting in abdominal pain and urinary incontinence colloquially known as "cooties" (a corruption of "cutis"). Early-stage infections are most common among prepubescent children. Cutis m. infection in a male and cutis f. infection in a female have no clear symptoms, although these are still capable of spreading the infection — this is why schoolyard children tend not to fraternize with the opposite sex, declaring that they all "have cooties". By the onset of puberty most children have developed an immunity to early-stage cutisviruses and are no longer infectious.

Symptoms of cooties typically resolve within a week of infection, thereafter cutis m. migrates to and lies dormant in the ovarian cells, and cutis f. migrates to and lies dormant in the testicular cells. In about 1 in 75 cases, cutisviruses will reactivate after years or even decades of dormancy, resulting in gonad transformation syndrome (GTS, colloquially known as "the trans"), where the viruses in their replication end up modifying the gonad cell genes in such a way that the granulosa and theca cells spontaneously become Sertoli and Leydig cells (cutis m. infection), resulting in infertility and masculinization; and likewise Sertoli cells become granulosa cells (cutis f. infection), resulting in infertility and feminization.

Those with immunity to the early stage of cutisviruses that causes "cooties", will in all likelihood not have immunity to the late stage that causes "the trans" — the two stages are so different that they are for all intents and purposes different viruses, setting the cutisviruses apart from other latent viruses like VZV. Therefore cutisvirus infection from someone with GTS may result in GTS in the infected, or may make the infected a carrier of GTS.

This is why persons with GTS, colloquially termed "trans people", are ostracized from society — lest women be masculinized, men feminized, and children sterilized. Although prophylaxes have been developed, it is still a good idea for the sake of public health to screen potential sexual partners for GTS.

In summary: trans people have an advanced form of cooties capable of infecting adults.

We have to stop Project 2025...

But I feel powerless at times.

Oh look, it's me.

I dunno where else to post this, but honestly I was surprised at how good I looked with the combo. Snapped a pic or two and I'm back in my normal night time wear rn, but it was fun!

The way I reacted to my bud on my trans Floridian Discord server announcing this 👌🏿

Happy Early May Day!

My girlfriend (23) and I (M22) have been together for three years now. My girlfriend started her transition last year. And at first I was fine with her maid costumes and cat ears, and the way she voice trained by saying "ara ara", but lately my girlfriend has been taking all this anime stuff way too far. Yesterday's incident was the worst one yet. That afternoon I tried to call my girlfriend to invite her over, but she wouldn't answer… Then about ten minutes later I saw out of my front window, an M1 Abrams tank driving down the street, while being chased by police cars and helicopters.…Yeah, it turns out that my girlfriend had taken the whole "tanks are feminine" spiel from Girls und Panzer a bit too literally. And honestly, I should've guessed that "I'm going to joyride a tank" was what my girlfriend meant when she tweeted "Miho Nishizumi is so gender, #MTF #goals", but I just didn't think my girlfriend had it in her to deal $230,000 in property damage and injure 12 people. So yesterday's incident has put a serious strain on our relationship, and I could really just use some advice. Thanks!

AND I DON'T HAVE TO WAIT ANYMORE. PLANNED PARENTHOOD JUST HAD A LAST MINUTE CANCELLATION AND CAN FIT ME IN FOR T O M O R R O W. FIRST APPOINTMENT IS IN 26 HOURS

autocorrect keeps wanting to make it "envy," which isn't entirely wrong

How did you figure out you were enby?

I've come to realize that my super-femme presentation is a form of masking, and I'm trying to figure out where I actually fall in the spectrum of gender.

So yeah, how did you figure out you weren't "gender" and were actually enby?

Does just thinking that maybe I'm not either mean that probably I'm not either? Is the state of being unsure and kinda in-between where you identify or what?
