  • Grass may be green, but I wouldn’t call a golf course a ‘green space’. Between the amount of pesticide and fertilizer they use, and the fact that it’s a monoculture, a golf course is pretty much an ecological dead zone.

  • I am very aware. What’s fun and good, though, is my complete inability to do anything about it.

  • Is Lemmy community nice to new users?

    Jump

  • .world and .ml like to beef over their politics (generally liberal vs more leftist/Marxist)

    Aside from that, people are generally pretty kind and won’t bash you for having left-of-center politics. If you’re a conservative, though, I’d expect downvotes. There just aren’t very many around on Lemmy. (And I personally think things are better that way.)

  • Pennsylvania Republicans introduce anti-trans bill targeting driver's licenses, bathrooms

  • At least PA still has a Democratic governor, right?

  • Trump’s new passport rules are trapping transgender Americans in bureaucratic limbo

    Jump

  • If you don’t mind my asking, where did you go and how was the process? I haven’t left yet, but I think it’s well past time I had a plan. I have a passport and all my documents have the same (although not my preferred) gender markers. So my current thought would be to look for a remote work job and then try for a digital nomad visa somewhere in the EU.

  • Donald Trump's Gen Z popularity plunges

  • I’ll echo the other reply - red states will not have them, blue and some purple states will. I suspect we will continue to have the facade of democracy for a while, and may see the Democrats take the House and maybe the Senate in 2026.

    The real question is, if there are elections in 2028, and the Republicans lose, will there be a transfer of power? I don’t have a good feeling about the answer, but only time will tell. Four years is a long time for an obese old man with a very stressful job to live, and I don’t think there is anyone who can easily take over Trump’s cult of personality and take the reins of the fascist movement.

  • I'm like 99% sure I'm a trans woman... now what?

  • Ooh I like that analogy! I’ll keep it in mind as I try to find a name :)

    And complete agreement on the importance of getting pierced by a pro! I got two cartilage piercings in my one ear a few years ago, and I had a great experience with the professional piercer, and they warned me off of any place like Claire’s hahah

  • Thank you for your advice 💛 I am very much still in the boat of trying to figure out exactly what transition means for me.

    In the short term, I know that I want to keep doing the “easy things” - growing my hair out (it’s already shoulder length, continuing to shave my body and paint my nails, get my ears pierced. All the stuff that I can do and still reasonably pass as cis.

    Shaving my face is going to a little trickier - I haven’t been clean shaven in 10 years and my wife has never known me without a beard. So that will be a big change.

    I want to start HRT, but that’s a little tricky too, since my wife and I want to have kids. That’s going to have to be a conversation, about whether we do cryo and IUI, or adopt, or if there’s an off chance that HRT doesn’t make me sterile.

    As far as surgeries, I feel like that’s a little hard to say right now, without knowing where I’ll be with my transition after socially transitioning and a few years of HRT. I’m not opposed to FFS, top surgery, and I don’t really have dysphoria about my genitals right now, although I know that can change over time.

    I feel like it’s hard to be able to say “I want to do X, Y, and Z, and then I’ll be done transitioning.” Right now, it feels a lot more like “I know the direction I want to keep moving in, but I don’t know what the ‘end point’ is”, if that makes sense.

    And yes, please share your spiel on names!

  • How did you know you were trans?

    Jump

  • For most of my life I identified as "just a regular dude... unfortunately".

    I felt that way for a long time (and still do sometimes). Being raised in a subculture that so heavily reinforces gender roles, it took a long time for me to understand the breadth of people’s gender experiences.

    You might like to reflect some more on what this implies about your gender.

    I define will, and fortunately, I have therapy this weekend. My therapist has been great about helping me work out some of my gender feelings in a positive and non-judgmental way

    And thank you for recommending the sidebar! I’m usually on mobile, so I forget sidebars are a thing, I’ll check out the resources there
