  • Yeah, I'm not sure where we got the e- prefix from, but once upon a time it seems to have been used to modify the meaning of words. Obviously it's no longer in use, just a relic of lost grammatical rules.

    And now we have a new e- prefix, such as email and e-bikes. I wonder if future linguists will think that "escape" refers to a digital lawn 🤔

  • Also, what a lot of non-native speakers might not understand is that sometimes, especially with English, the correct translation is to leave a word untranslated.

    You know, since all words are English words, as long as you get the grammar correct 🤣

    (joking but it's kind of true though)

    Like yeah it sounds cool but I know how often computers get hacked. Not looking to add security vulnerabilities to what's currently an air-gapped system.

  • You'll figure it out.

    Between binders, packers, and whatever magic drag kings draw upon, there are plenty of ways to "preview" the kinds of changes that T would cause.

    But the good news is that while the changes from hormones are mostly permanent, they're also slow. If you did start taking T, you'd have a little while to see how you feel before anything gets super noticable.

    Oh, it is! Mine too! But that's why it's so helpful for us.

    Meditating can do a lot to help manage adhd symptoms, such as improving focus and reducing mental clutter.

  • Hey, it's never too late to be yourself! There are so many examples of happy trans people who didn't transition until later in life. (I have to remind myself of that all the time 😅)

    I know it's tempting to mourn the lost time, but what's far more important is the years ahead of you. You can do this!

  • Are you on T yet? You'd be surprised how much of the "broad hips" goes away when your body fat starts redistributing. Add some upper body workouts and you'll look so good, I promise!

    I'm currently on the opposite journey, and if I can gain hips you can lose them. You just have to give the hormones a little time to work.

    Just a note - You should use the word "women" inclusively of cis and trans women. Biological sex is referred to using words like "male" or "female" (adjectives). "Man" and "woman" are words that describe gender, which is more about how someone presents themselves socially rather than how they were born or what body parts they have.

    As for people born female only having "one extra hole" - unfortunately for me they don't all function the same. Don't get me wrong, I like giving head as much as the next girl, but it just isn't the same and my hemorrhoids and ibs make anal next to impossible. So, yeah, I'm kind of exhausted from trying to make do with the "holes" I have. It sucks.

  • Ooh, that sounds like a fun game. What are the words you're talking about? I bet I could find a more precise word (or sometimes compound words or phrases) that expresses that concept very exactly.

  • Well that wouldn't be a scenario where you can avoid fighting.

    However, while it's important not to give fascists what they want, if you can stall you absolutely should. Functioning countries gain more out of peacetime than fascists do, so if you can wait them out they do eventually crumble from within.

    Now, if you're in the same country as the fascists, "waiting them out" looks more like non-compliance or malicious compliance - the fascists are usually demanding more than they can reasonably enforce, and expecting fear to get them their way. You can accomplish a lot by just silently gumming up the machinery of the state.

    And if they aren't in power yet? Don't give them more attention than absolutely necessary. Ignore them whenever you can safely do so.

    Obviously in all these cases you should stand your ground whenever there is a confrontation and you have a decent chance at winning. But there usually isn't a lot to be gained by starting fights with fascists, since that's what they want you to do. They want an excuse to be violent and they'll be sure to spin it to their advantage if anyone starts anything.

  • That does make it harder. Fortunately it's not too expensive, so if you can find a way to put aside a little cash it's 100% worth it.

  • Anal has never really worked for me. 😢

    I need bottom surgery so bad, but of course I will never be able to afford it. And that's if the government doesn't make it illegal (which is likely coming very soon).

  • Makes sense

  • Wow. Where the heck does your wife work, wall street?

    Edit for clarity: I didn't mean this in a harsh way or anything, but I just can't imagine working someplace where "free cruise" is a work benefit. It's just so far outside my lived experience!

  • Anal has never worked for me. It's painful, inconvenient, and overall just not really what I want. 😥
