Hot! And nice tie

Food not bombs prioritizes food that wouldn’t be sold like day old baked goods and produce that’s still fine to eat, but is no longer fresh enough that people will buy it.

It means left wing

Oh jeez looked it up, no it just means opposing antisemitism and banning people engaging in it.

Yeah those trans spaces are more for someone like you than someone like me (post transition). And yeah it really was this wild shift of thinking of such spaces as so scary to them turning out to be so welcoming. And eventually you just find your place in fellowship with other trans people.

The other thing is that knowing other people at a similar stage to yourself is hugely important. Someone my age who’s just now transitioning is going to have a wildly different entire experience from me given I transitioned at 20 in college, but also it’s long over. I remember the sleepless nights, the hormonal fights, the hope, and the dread and all that stuff, but it’s in the same way I remember being 16. Both groups need people who are there and people who had been there recently to thrive.

But yeah, you’re at the exciting and scary stage. Try to enjoy what you can of it, eventually being trans just becomes your normal.

Welcome sister. I understand how hard it is to step into the community and to actually embrace being one of us. May you find all the sisterhood and joy that I have.

Also I highly recommend that any trans people who are able should join some irl trans spaces, especially early on. It was so good for me back in the day and helped me so much. I fell out of them, most do, but they tend to be there mostly for folks early in transition

Yeah, that’s just chasers. Some aren’t violent, but the well is full on poisoned. This is explicitly the reason why the standard advice has long been to never go for chasers no matter how lonely you are. There are cis men who are just pretty damn into trans chicks but aren’t chasers, you can learn to tell the difference, but if you go where the chasers are then you’re probably going to find a lot of them. Chasers are typically only or primarily interested in sex, they see our bodies through a fetishized lens, many are ashamed of their attraction to us, and they’re disproportionately violent.

I had to use it in order to lose it

As a trans woman I generally agree with you, especially about the amab/afab bit. Like, yes, sometimes it’s necessary information, but so often it’s used as politically correct wording to misgender. I’ve seen it used in so many contexts where I’m just like “you understand that I’ve been living as a woman full time for nearly all of my adult life and have undergone a lot of medical transition right?”

Like I don’t mind the term transfem, but ime its far more often used in conversations about transmisogyny. In that context I think it’s useful. But at the same time, I had a long period of frustration with being treated as though I’m anything less than the binary woman I am. I still don’t like it, but I don’t experience it nearly as much

That’s basically how coming out to my mom went lol

Ah that sucks, I really lucked out there, though I still mostly wear tshirts

What even would an AI doorbell even do?

Idk lately I’ve been finding it easier to find pants in my size as someone 5’11". And I’m leggy enough my shirts are just a women’s medium.

That said, I’m just awkward and usually by most of my clothes from thrift stores

Look into the Black Panthers, the original iteration was founded on the idea that black people who know their rights and are carrying guns could watch arrests and make sure police weren’t engaging in racial brutality. They also wound up doing stuff like free breakfast programs for kids to ensure they’d have the energy to pay attention in school and free healthcare in predominantly black areas focusing on underserved issues that predominantly impact black people like sickle cell disease

Goddamn the Black Panthers are cool

I never had to get an inspection in ohio

Also you can basically do whatever you want in New Hampshire, they’re nuts over there

I want one

I’m in

No thank you, I’m sick and tired of misogyny.
