That's what I used to think too!

No, if you die in the Matrix you die in real life

 

It's something I'm really struggling with, thanks to it it feels like I'm obsessed with the idea of 'passing', like whenever I see other trans women who don't pass it gives me a little burst of dread, thinking that it's impossible to pass and I'd never be able to. That horrible fear of looking "like a man in a dress" like there's actually a problem with that outside of the societal expectation I've had slotted into my brain.

I know that you don't have to pass to be trans, and that all trans women are equally valid, and that what I really need to do is to let go of the idea of passing altogether, and just be happy being who I am on the inside.

I was just wondering if any of you girls have been through something similar, and if you had any advice. Xx

I'm 6 minutes in to Shaun's video and it's already beyond reasonable doubt lol, while I kind of want to explain this to her myself (because she's super busy atm, so a 20 minute video will be a hard sell) but I doubt I'd do as good a job so I think I'll just send her a link. Thank you very much for the links!

 

So originally I was sceptical about the TERF claims on rowling (because I didn't want them to be true), I'd assumed terminally online people had decided something silly (as has happened before), but the more I looked at it and thought about it, the more I thought, "Ok, I don't really have proof here, but the odds are looking pretty fucking likely that she is, surely it'd be quite easy for her to just say something publicly like "trans women are women" and it'd be all over".

The problem I'm having at the minute, is my wife still thinks that it's all probably something that's been blown out of proportion, and I can't explain to her why I'm not excited by the new Strike novel, or why I won't play the Harry Potter game. How do I prove to her that it isn't something that's been blown out of proportion and that Rowling really is a TERF

Just like they do for all of their experts, don't know why they bother asking them

Sorry you got scammed :( some people are awful, nice to see another UK trans though, I'm still a bit isolated here because I haven't found/explored the queer spaces local to me.

Starting now or next month won't make a difference in the grand scheme of things, either way you're going to be taking steps towards you own happiness and betterment ❤️

Ah it's fine, I don't really use torrents

Nope, just straight rawdogging the internet

 

So with a little help from the megathread I have a particularly Good website for finding Old Games, and it worked yesterday when I downloaded systemshock2, but now I'm getting a 403 forbidden message. Is this from the site itself? Or is my ISP (virgin) cucking me?

Finasteride is real and it works, and you actually are bothered by balding you're just pretending you're not

MFers out here rating women like they're dogs at fucking crufts

 

Don't let those shitheels from hexbear get you down. I joined in the 196wave but I've stayed because blahaj is the safe trans affirming space I need right now, and from what I've seen you've been a key voice in making that happen. Thank you for all the hard work you do!

Holy shit you're gorge! Did you say you're 31 in the before picture? That's me now and I thought I'd missed the boat in terms of passing... You're making me think now
