I’m aware, but as the article says those services are not up to the standard of other countries. Not to mention many trans people don’t necessarily want the surgery.
I don’t know all the circumstances that lead to an Iranian trans person being discriminated against, but it sounds like it is commonplace regardless of their legal status.

100% agree. Also worth noting that these Iranian prisoners were likely in jail for being trans.

The Iranian government also monitors online transgender communities, often subjecting them to censorship, and police routinely arrest trans people.

You WEREN’T kidding

Man, I think the whimsy inside me died. I was in line at midnight to pick up my switch on launch night, but I wasn’t even aware the switch 2 had come out.

Do I want to know what Kiwi Farms is?

I’ll check it out! Even without being federated, it’s good to have a discord alternative. Matrix hasn’t been what I need yet, unfortunately.

I’ve found that whenever I cut myself, it’s either that my lather is too watery, or that my blade needs to be replaced.

It’s not a perfect 1:1, but this is sort of what the movie “Sinners” is about.

“Unbelievably Stupid Autocracy” maintains the acronym as well

Oh no there’s a label with plenty of info, just no brands that I recognize. Here’s what it looks like, with anything specific to me or my area obscured.

Ope, I couldn’t say for sure. The brand isn’t on my prescription bottle as far as I can tell :/

Lots of great responses! My E is from Estradiol, if that helps.

And a lot of American evangelicals thought he was the Antrichrist

Advice about HRT: physical changes happen very slowly. Mental effects happen much quicker. You can start it and see if it helps you feel more comfortable (happened within days for me) and stop if it isn’t good for you.
In the event that it is something you want, you will be happy that you started it earlier rather than later.

Edit: to be clear when I say “very slowly” for physical changes, I mean months. Do what you need to do if being visibly trans isn’t feasible within the next year.

This is true. It’s also important to remember that action begins with awareness.

First week of hrt has done wonders for my mental health, and removed any lingering doubts I hadn’t been able to shake yet.

In other news, started a new campaign with my rpg group using Masks: A New Generation. It is a blast, and I highly recommend it.

If “bloodbath” = Republicans losing influence, does “blue balls” = Democrats losing?

The right answer is whatever feels correct to you.

Personally, I have thought of it like a scale from 0:1, with all the possibilities between them being trans and the endpoints being the two binary genders. However, the more gender theory you read, the less helpful that seems.
