  • I’ve never had to deal with this, but my take is that you shouldn’t feel bad for not offering up information, especially in a context where you don’t necessarily feel safe to do so.

    I wouldn’t really consider this to be lying, either. Your bosses or coworkers don’t have a right to know you’re trans. Like, I don’t share my spiritual beliefs with anyone at work, for example. That doesn’t make me a liar. You’re entitled to your privacy, even more so when revealing something could be harmful for you.

    Best of luck navigating this, it sounds like a rather tricky situation to be in.








  • I got a new job, and the group chat is on WhatsApp, so I’m looking into running a Synapse server with a bridge to it. I really don’t want to have to use Meta’s apps on my phone.

    From what I’ve read so far, it seems like it’s going to be the most convoluted install process I’ll have encountered in my self-hosting journey. I’m excited to tackle it, but also a bit overwhelmed. Which is why I’ve been putting it off :P



  • I’m actually friends with one of queens mentioned in the article! These people are honestly so brave, every drag queen I know has received so many death threats in the past two years.

    Last year, a couple of local queens I know were hosting a music festival, and a man was overheard heading into the venue saying “if those fucking f*gs come out on stage I’m leaving to get my gun”. Thankfully he was arrested, but talk about terrifying. And yet these queens keep on fighting publicly for what’s right.





  • You don’t have to be prescribed estrogen to have bloodwork done! I definitely think you should seek it out if you go the DIY route.

    OP’s not asking for advice on what to do with her therapist, she’s asking for advice regarding DIY HRT. IMO it’s not really our place to question why she might make that choice for herself.
