In sports. The context of my comment is sports. Nothing else. Only sports.

Na, doping is something else. As the other comment said, they don’t say estrogen is a PED, they say testosterone suppression and HRT don’t matter.

people that support trump can’t relate to because they don’t know any in their rural community. […]
I see the same thinking when these Trump supporters demonize migrant workers

“Fun” fact: here in Germany, xenophobia is strongest in those areas with the lowest percentage of inhabitants perceived as migrants.

People often fear and hate what they don’t know. Larger cities are melting pots of lots of people with diverse backgrounds, and larger cities usually correlate with a higher percentage of inhabitants with progressive world views

I find it funny that Lia Thomas had an “unfair advantage” that helped her win one college championship (out of multiple she participated in) while staying far behind Katie Ledecky’s record time but Michael Phelps was just “naturally gifted” while shattering olympic records.

Error 404, logic not found.

For me it was Dax from Deep Space 9 and the Tok’ra (especially Jolinar and Selmak as they are actually shown to have hosts with different genders) from Stargate.

And why does scalp hair not? 😭

It’s just anecdotal evidence, but I’ve met (cis) men who said their male pattern baldness makes them feel less masculine. In that case, hair transplants would be gender affirming care.

It’s not only about sex characteristics, it’s also about (perceived) societal expectations and norms.

And no hair transplants or toupees. Or breast reduction for cis men. Or breast enlargement for cis women.

E is short for estrogen.

I rarely feel nerdier than when understanding jokes about Euler’s number. Like, Pi jokes are for peasants compared to e jokes.

I bet navies could be cool if it wasn’t for all that military toxic masculinity and war stuff. So basically big boats and cute uniforms.

I recently started to paint my nails. First time it was such a flood of euphoria, and again when I shyly but proudly showed a friend and she was super supportive 🤗

In the english language, they/them are pronouns used when you don’t know a person’s gender. So in that sense you’re using them perfectly right.

However, relatively recently people started to adopt they/them as their own pronouns and some people might not identify with these pronouns and therefore might be displeased if they/them are used for them. But I struggle in a similar way as you (AuDHD here) and have not met a single person who was still angry after I explained my struggles (showing effort might be key for some though).

However, most people who rant about they/them (or pronouns in general, weirdly enough) are part of the anti-woke crowd (and grifters from those bubbles).

Oooh, I love these keyboards. I wish they came in QWERTZ and with numpad/in full size, too.

Trucking companies are a spectrum from super supportive all the way over to creepy towards the trans community. But never hateful.

That was not my intention. It was just an explanation, nothing more.

Because we grew up internalizing external expectations. You have to unlearn that if you don’t want to feel pressured into completing the last three achievements, but that’s hard AF especially for people who are masking a lot. And until then you feel guilty for not completing a game because you missed an achievement or didn’t find all collectibles.

This text feels like an insulting compliment. Or a complimenting insult. Or something. It absolutely swings backs and forth between toxic masculinity and comfortable inclusivity.

Shaving. Now, that also does have something to do with low self-esteem and being scared about how I’d look without beard since I am bearded for half my life and didn’t shave my face smooth since I was 16, but I’d like to try but then everybody and their mom would ask why and I don’t want to answer (I’m a bad liar and don’t feel comfortable lying, too).

Edit: I appreciate y’all wanting to help, but please stop. I didn’t ask for advice, I’ll probably eventually figure something out and I kinda feel pressured and pushed, it’s really not great. Sharing your own experiences is fine, but more is really not needed (especially if you’re suggesting coming up with excuses)

I’m waiting curiously for you sharing your experience with a boyfriend running on Linux. Are drivers for chores embedded in the kennel or dou you need to install them later?
