Was in a crowd an accidentally ended up in the group photo of the people in front of me. At least in terms of briefly seeing the picture over someone's shoulder on a small screen, I actually was fairly pleased with how I looked.

For me, it wasn't something I thought about before. Its only after changing a bit myself that I notice it. I guess its affirming in a way? I know I'm bad at predicting what I would/wouldn't like, so doing any sort of transitioning kinda felt like a coin flip. So its only after experiencing an alternative to how I was that I can realize how much I disliked what was. Its not a particularly bad feeling. Just like, immediate negative reaction followed by sorta internally laughing about how silly it is to be bothered by other people having traits they probably like.
CW: indirect dysphoria
Tis weird experiencing dysphoria because of other people's voice or body. Like, sometimes when I hear guys talk with a very buzzy voice, I find it icky. Not because I think its a bad voice inherently, but the thought of me sounding like that just bothers me (unfortunately, when I'm congested, its hard not to sound sorta like that). Or like, I saw my brother's leg/chest hair and I felt surprised that I never had such a clear issue with the fact that I used to be hairier than him pretty recently. But since it originally grew in very slowly, I got used to it and became mostly numb to it? Like I still don't shave or trim all that much, but like there's no way I'd be okay with it being like that anymore.
CW.
“We have minors that work here so we have certain liabilities”.
We have minors as clients at our work (generally high school students) and my boss has at times told parents that they're required to be there if it would be likely that the minor and employee would be alone at the location.. if the employee is male. Its not exactly strictly enforced and I do think its probably a good idea to have a make sure there isn't that kind of alone time, but it certainly does feel insulting. I tend to take it a bit less personally just because I've also dealt with the same thing from my mom when one of my sister's friends was temporarily living with us after accidentally getting caught up in a white lie about SA by her father getting out of hand (no SA actually occurred as far as we know)... so my mom's concern wasn't with me doing anything, but rather accusations of such.
Naked pea is another cheaper option, but it takes some getting used to the taste...
Risk that something might have happened is a good enough reason for audits/recounts should be done in time to fix the election outcome, but they're not evidence that such hacks were successfully used. They just provide a mechanism that makes it possible.
Do you have a better source than the state election results websites? If the premise of the whole argument was bullet votes, but the actually numbers are <2% instead of the claimed amount, what is the evidence?
Because liberals are defending genocide too...
I wasn't disagreeing with that part of the argument or suggesting that were limiting the discussion to trans women for nefarious reasons. I was only disagreeing with the quoted part. Biological sex is also a social construct, so the whole topic of physically being a man or woman biologically is still in the same realm of thought as race science, so I think the topic is sort of questionable to bring up at all. But even if we want to follow that logical, some trans women have far more in common with their body with a cis women who have had a hysterectomy that they do with cis men.
I'm also not suggesting that trans women need medical interventions to be women. Just that if you tried to assume some logic to actions of transphobes (your biggest mistake), then even if you excluded neurological biological reasons, then biological sex should still allow those that meet the transmeds/truscums BS ideas at least, yet transphobes still take issue. Biological here is just a dog whistle.
Also not suggesting that said person would necessary disagree - my goal was just to add to the topic.
I don't think so. Seems like KTI was talking specifically about trans women being neurologically female (and neurology is part of biology). I'm talking about the rest of the body also being female.
