They believe that refusing to vote either big party is throwing away your vote, and thus voting 3rd party is basically “abstaining” in their eyes

I hate LinkedIn. When I left the US I deleted my account thinking I wouldn’t need it anymore only to be told here in Belgium that I should use it because of my language limitations.
After a few months I gave in and remade my account but still hate it, and have had no luck still with finding work

Absolutely do NOT give your ID or face scan on Discord. It's even worse than expected. Apparently due to people bypassing current systems, they're switching to "persona" which is funded by fucking Peter Thiel.

I could be wrong, but maybe some of it can be tied to neurodivergent prevalence in trans and nonbinary people, which may lead to more fixation on nerdy things?

It’s based on super outdated info about old HRT making blood clots etc way more common at higher levels but bio identical hormones don’t have the same risks, but doctors simply aren’t knowledgeable enough to know that often.

I remember it was a 195 or something that I was told too high. I am normally aiming for over 200 for myself even over 300 maybe. I basically lied by having them test at trough while they were expecting peak because imo keeping my trough high enough is way more important than keeping my peak down

Yeah it is! Besides pellets which are super hard to get, it’s the closest I can get to being able to set and forget

Luckily for me I was able to convince them to put me on injections but because I was post orchi, they insisted I inject a really small amount and then also test at peak levels. Wanted it at 100 pg/ml max at peak which is insanely low especially for ev.

Yes! It’s wonderful actually. Compared to valerate it feels like magic.
Technically you can do anywhere from 20-30 day cycles depending on how you feel and stuff
Here’s a chart showing eV(pink) vs eUN(orange)
My mid month blood tests seemed to indicate it was working

Literally, I had to fake results with my doctors because they wanted my levels way too low. Now I am DIY since 1, I prefer injections and since moving to Belgium, DIY is the only way to get them, and 2, undecylate is superior for me in that it’s half life means I inject once per month, which is nice

I used reddit as a source for information back in 2021 but I don’t think I ever considered myself a “transbian”
Then again, I’m pan romantic demi sexual so it’s always been a little complicated

I get that a lot, people who find out are often surprised but it feels strange because to myself I feel so obviously out of place

Idk if it counts but I remember my brother and I had a thing we did when we were really young where we slammed our heads into the wall. Idk why or what it accomplished

I feel like unprovable discrimination happens constantly in the job market everywhere in the world. Name sounds too foreign, skip. Woman in tech? Skip. Not white? Skip. Disabled? Skip. Woman who doesn’t wear makeup and/or isn’t conventionally pretty? Skip.
Finding work feels hopeless…

Because of language barrier now my odds of finding work are even less, I am learning dutch but it takes time, only reason I have made it this far is because the support of other people, that doesn’t make me lazy, I want to work, but society is making it hard to do that

Literally, I didn’t have an easy time finding work before transition but after it’s been nearly impossible. I got one job because of a friend who was working there who fought against the bias of the manager to get me hired, and now I am in a new country living with my boyfriend

Pretty sure those places are part of why I suppressed myself so long. Back in 2008 or 2009 I was looking for answers to explain my feelings and found a lot of discouraging things. Took many years to find answers and understand. I too fear for those who must endure what is to come

That’s a mood. I have such terrible impulse control and food is comforting when I am stressed

I haven’t been to a concert of them directly, but when I was in Vegas in October 2023, there was a mega concert playing there including them playing outdoors and I got to hear some from the nearby parking garage. Was awesome

It’s not even necessarily that we want to be women, it’s just more that we are, regardless of how good or bad society treats us. Could just as well ask a cis woman why they want to be a woman. To try and not be is to pretend to be something we aren’t. It’ll never feel right and will feel empty

Yeah, I always choose woman unless there’s a clear obvious reason they need to know. They can fuck right off with trying to “other” us.

Same. Literally my whole life I never understood why the guys around in school were so different than me, I didn’t fit in and they all were so immature

Imagine if we could convince all the older cis folks to take HRT in exchange for funding trans research and care. I feel like society would improve so much if women weren’t stuck in menopause. Men probably would like having proper T levels too.
