  • That is the issue with the way speed limits are implemented. They design and build a road for high speeds, then set the speed limit 10-15% lower than than the designed speed, thus penalizing drivers who use the road as designed.

    There is nearby school that has a 20 mph limit during school hours. Slow traffic is a good thing especially around schools. But then they also have wide radius curves at the corners of intersecting streets and entrances into the school’s parking areas. These curves are wide enough to allow cars to take these turns at 30 mph despite crossing a sidewalk or crosswalk. That is infrastructure that kills children by design, and it’s standard.

    Speed cameras are revenue generators. They exist to make money from fees. And because the speed camera can only give fees after the fact, there is no immediate consequence to speeding. A speed camera can only catch someone already speeding, they do not prevent someone who is already speeding from continuing. The only solution is better infrastructure.








  • I mostly waited until HRT to transition socially. I was presenting fem privately at home for quite some time before HRT. I took an approach of go fem with plausible deniability until the point I felt ready to start pursuing HRT. When I needed new clothes I would buy woman’s versions of the clothes I already wore. Nice button down shirt, but this has the buttons backwards. Not a detail anyone notices, but felt better.

    The first time I went out wearing a dress was after about a month on HRT. Wasn’t really out, wanted to see if anyone would figure it out. It was very strange, I got so many compliments on my outfit, but not on the dress itself, just the other parts of the outfit. It was confusing.

    I compared the text message conversations with my wife from the second month of HRT to the year before, and the difference was night and day. The first coworkers I came out to were those who noticed the change in mood and asked follow up questions.

    I understand your concerns. Now is a dangerous time to be trans. But keep in mind, it’s also dangerous to have the wrong hormones.

    I second dandelion’s stance on this. Start HRT as soon as possible. I didn’t start on HRT until my 30s and my only regret is not starting sooner. Do not delay.

    The HRT did far more about my depression than my clothing.
