Don’t… the comments by our (UK) minsters yesterday were appalling and very concerning…

The past week has been quite the mix of highs and lows.

Couple of rough patches with partner.

Having a very affirming experience in Ann Summers, getting my first lingerie under her guidance.

Having my referral to the gender identity clinic confirmed.

Fucker Carlson streams his show on twitter, since he was fired from having his bullshit platformed on Fox.

My girlfriend pretty much shoved me into the fitting rooms the first time I went to buy a skirt… I was so very nervous showing the gal on the door the one item to try on.

Fast forward a bit and I had a lovely experience at the Levi store … was looking for a new pair of jeans for a holiday. As I was looking at the various cuts I was unsure wear to pick up, as I wanted something more form fitting. My partner said that the female cut has very little crotch area though, so potentially an issue there… so was looking in the men’s section.

Assistant in the store came over and offered help. I somewhat shyly mentioned that I was looking for someone a little tighter on the skin, and mentioned “I have a masc pair already” … their eyes pretty much lit up “Well you won’t find what you want on this side of the store” and pretty much dragged me over to the women’s section, and started pulling bits off the shelf and holding them up to me.

“Well this is pretty much the equivalent of a mens 34 waist, what do you wear normally?”

“Well my femme size in my clothing is usually a 16…”

Again a slight grin… before rushing me over to the cubicles to try on the items they picked out…

A very good eye they had… picked out a pair so comfy and I felt really good in. Was also just such an affirming experience.

Which is also fair as the lines can get very blurred dependant on the definitions in play…

Trans/NB/Fluid/queer are all very closely related after all and people can identify with all of these.

Because you’re focused on the visuals from a single user perspective…

1. There’s the world state and game logic to consider as well, and this would be relevant even in a 2D sprite based game.
2. The article makes it clear that it’s the couch co-op split screen that is causing the most headaches, with whatever additional overhead there is in maintaining another active character and rendering of the world on screen.

It’s not been a good week tbh…

Had a very rough patch with my partner that we’re trying to work through, but it’s tough.

A lot of tears, some minor self harm, emotions on an erratic seesaw.

Weekend plans are some shopping, see my new nephew, some time with my daughters and preparations for vacation next week.

Way down the street at the moment…

Since I started to lean more femme in my usual attire this really has become a problem…

I’ve had a lot of cats as pets over my life to date.

Three of my favourite were all black kitties.

Then there was my dark tortoiseshell who will always have a special place in my heart.

Have a lovely break! ❤️

Honestly, I’m usually cuddling my little round kitty or Blahaj as I’m drifting off to dreamland…

Very much ups and downs here…

Had my assessment with my private medical cover over my gender identity wtf

Counselling sessions start this week.

Saw friends at the weekend which was nice… apart from the actual bbq being a pretty heavy disaster for my partner and me.

It is a fun game, but if you know what you’re doing it’s so exploitable to get powerful components early.

If I’m feeling on the femme side of things when I arrive, do I need to be tied up?

The amusing thing here is that since coming out, I find panties to be way more comfortable than any of my boxers…

Back when reddit premium was a thing I was quite happy to sub to that to pay towards costs, and make use of the benefits like X gold to give people per month and increased sub limits etc

Then they messed about with all that and I dropped my sub …

And I haven’t been back since the protests started so 🤷‍♀️

She looks lovely ❤️

It’s really not though…

A trans woman is a woman… it’s that simple.

Would the OP permit a pre-op trans man to post here just because they are AFAB?

Is a T required for just pre-op trans women or all trans women?

Does forcing them to mark themselves out as different encourage isolation and further the difficulties they are going through?

What’s the best thing about your average day here?

What socials do the team get up to?
