Defederation means nothing new is sent or received between the defederated servers. Anything old remains.

I do intend to send them a DM soon, but defederation happened first so we don’t have to deal with the harassment accounts and so users don’t have to be exposed to all the abuse.

Judging by your posts you are in a very bad place right now and you’re struggling with a lot of issues related to your self image and your body. I’m not so sure that HRT will do what you want it to do. If your hormone levels are fine then your fat distribution isn’t likely to become any more feminine. If there is something wrong with your levels, it will be because of some underlying issue, in which case HRT could even make things worse.

As a cis woman in the UK, you have access to HRT via a GP, which would enable you to get proper specialist support that isn’t readily available to us, and everything (other than your prescription) would be completely free. Superdrug & Boots also provide affordable private assessment & support for hormone issues that are exclusive to cisgender women. Handling this via a GP is something I really recommend. If you are unable to get an appointment in the morning, try calling anyway as they occasionally have cancellations available later on. If all else fails, 111 can make an Out of Hours appointment, either with your GP or with a OOH doctor, or they can refer you to mental health services for immediate support.

Places like GenderGP are aimed at trans people who are currently unable to use regularly accessible services, and are significantly more expensive & less reputable as a result. They are also overburdened, with waiting times that significantly exceed a GP.

If you do wish to take hormones DIY, I urge you to take things a bit slower and read up on how to do this safely. Research what HRT actually does and why, and be aware that we take regular blood tests to make sure our levels are okay. If possible, try to find resources specific to cisgender women, as they would be able to provide more guidance in ways that we’re unable to.

I wish you the very best, and I hope you’re able to get the support you need.

I can’t stand the consistency of chia in milk or yoghurt or anything… They get so slimy!

I think maybe all the anti-trans propaganda spread by lobby organizations and many political parties around the world had something to do with it too :P

The token doesn’t work right now but we regularly check piefed for new accounts and manually approve them. What was the account you created called?

Edit: No accounts are waiting to be approved so we either approved it already (likely) or it was denied (unlikely)

autogynephilia is literally old debunked pseudoscience. some cis women get aroused from feeling sexy yet no one is questioning their gender based on that.

People keep telling me this but where are the citations backing this up?

Thanks for linking the source <3

They truly are desperate to replace us

I think many of us just stay away from locker rooms and public bathrooms as much as possible because we want to avoid being stared at or getting into uncomfortable situations with others making a scene. I’m no athlete, but I try to not go to public bathrooms and I plan my life accordingly. I’ve gone a few times and it has been problem free each time, but people do look at me as they go by because I don’t pass.

How safe we feel going into a locker room is gonna depend on who we go with, where we go and how tolerated we are in that area, how confident we are, and to what degree we pass.

If someone I know invites me anywhere which requires going into a locker room I’m likely gonna tell them no. Maybe I’m overly anxious and it would go just fine, but I’m not interested in rolling the dice with how people are gonna react.

Edit: I do go to the gym, but like most people post covid I show up in my gym wear. I don’t think there even is a locker room there.

Å dæven, har ikke tenkt på båtis på lenge

They only go after people sharing files, and typically only people sharing lots of files. Technically when you torrent you are sharing files, but they don’t usually go after regular seeders. Sometimes your internet provider might ask you to stop being a pirate but that’s the most likely bad consequence for a regular pirate. Direct downloads, streaming, and usenet doesn’t involve actual sharing of files and so is perfectly legal, or at least not something that has consequences.

There’s also stuff you can do to make it less likely that your illicit activities will be detected, but that’s not something I know a lot about. I imagine VPNs can help with this sorta stuff.

Your wife is right that some people do go to prison for this, but that’s usually people like the ones behind pirate bay and similar.

I’m not a half queer half law person, so take what I have to say with lots of salt and pepper.

It is

It’s magical being able to just be content, isn’t it? I thought contentedness just meant “not bad” until I got on HRT and got to actually feel happy and content :3

I’m very happy for you, cow!

Please stop calling us “males” and “females”

all states are authoritarian

Not in the same ways. You support dictatorships where workers have no power, nor the means to eventually hold power later down the line. I support neither capitalist regimes nor dictatorships pretending to be socialist.

To get rid of the state, all property needs to be collectivized, which both gets rid of class and the state itself.

Yes.

There’s no “promising to abolish” anything, the state gradually withers away with respect to class withering away as property is sublimated and collectivized.

No marxist can describe how this will happen. The dictators in charge do not have incentives to give away their power, nor are there other mechanisms in place that can bring about socialism. It’s literally just propaganda. Inequality in china is not withering away, there’s just a growing middle class the same way we had a growing middle class in other places where industrialization happened. The state owning and running things does not equate to socialism. It could, if there was democracy of some kind rather than oligarchy supplemented with very minor political participation from a fraction of the population.

I am a Marxist, yes. I became one after engaging with history, theory, logic, and practice. The fact that poor logic and false history doesn’t sway me doesn’t diminish my points. I haven’t seen any ethical arguments being brought up here.

Your auth states commit all the evils of capitalist empires and yet you still defend them. That’s not exactly ethical. Authoritarianism can’t be ethical in practice because of the incentives the people in power have to keep their power, and the things they do to keep it. “Communist” states are far more authoritarian than most liberal democracies, which is why I call them authoritarian. I call you authoritarian because you defend them and wish to implement similar oligarchies/dictatorships elsewhere. This is not to say I like liberalism, just by comparison your system is in many ways worse. Unions are way more suppressed, people are less active politically, and there are no big benefits to make up for it. Genocide is still happening, billionaires are still being produced, freedom of speech is still suppressed, etc. Like yeah we can sit here and compare metrics and see both capitalist and marxist states are doing good and bad in all sorts of different ways. Both systems work to a point. I don’t care. I want actual democracy. I want actual freedom. I want actual socialism, or at least a system which can produce socialism unlike your auth vanguard states.

I will be blocking you after this.

Edit: To me the big mystery is why defend these states? Why aim for vanguard states? Can’t we aim for something better rather than something that has “succeeded”? Why do we have to choose between liberalism and marxism when we can instead try to work towards actual socialism?

The revolution comes, comrade :3

I will not be an enemy of existing socialism or of the working class of those countries.

You already are, auth
