However, we have noticed their face fat shifted and became more conventionally femme, whereas ours hasn’t from what we can tell.

see, I felt this way too, but I’ve realized that, for me, the issue is dysphoria plus seeing the changes happen gradually, so I don’t see that big change like I have in other people.

Our boobs have also not gotten as big as most trans femmes who post their stuff online, sadly.

the general guidance is that we transfems max about a cup size less than our mom and/or sisters, and it tends to get spread out differently – mine are also slightly triangular, which is a totally normal breast shape for women without large boobs, even cis women.

the problem with faceapp and similar apps/filters is they basically output “if you had the opposite AGAB, had a perfect skincare routine, wore makeup, and were also a model”, which isn’t a sane goal unless you’re planning to get electrolysis and FFS and spend two hours a day on skincare and usually wear makeup. the facial result of transition is usually more along the lines of “you, but softer” – which is still very nice and a marked difference, but almost nobody transitions into looking like faceapp says they will, because it sets unrealistic expectations.

most trans femmes we have seen we think look more femme than us/the body.

that’s likely an effect of dysphoria, friend.

I don’t see any way this is anything but a filament issue, it’s not like your print head could print a layer after the layer on top of it…

fwiw, I’ve had similar issues with some multicolor filaments, I think sometimes they just aren’t made quite right but still pass QA.

cis women don’t like when trans women are included as women because some trans women didn’t grow up as women and thus didn’t experience the same sexism, misogyny, and socialization that victimized them.

I’ve discussed this exact topic with my (cis woman) partner who struggles with this quite a bit, it’s wild because she’s very accepting and supportive of trans people, but struggles with feeling like the unique horrors of the Cis Woman Experience™ are sort-of being appropriated by trans women? it’s a really weird thing to address, because I see where she’s coming from, but I just feel that telling like 1% of women that they can’t call themselves “women” without a qualifier is needlessly derisive.

I think enbies are liable to experience more discrimination and hate than binary trans people, esp. once the medical transition reaches a point where the trans person is able to conform to the expected gender norms. Enbies in both social and medical transition are often aiming to permanently occupy that in-between space that makes early transition so difficult for so many trans people

hey, it me! what’s extra weird is that I feel almost pressured to fit into feminine gender norms to try to avoid being in the “please discriminate against me” class of people, but at the same time, I just… don’t want to be there all the time? like wearing a dress and makeup while cleanshaven is a wonderful time when it’s the gender vibe, but other times I just want to wear jeans and a tee and not bother shaving without being seen as a fruity man by 90% of people. honestly, thinking about it, the sheer effort I have to put in to not be read as a man while also not quite being read as a woman is, frankly, exhausting.

HRT isn’t not a magic cure-all but it does feel magical at times, results come pretty slowly at our age, and get started whenever you want to because you can get at least a couple of months of the emotional and mental effects before any permanent physical effects happen (and a month or three is plenty of time to decide to turn back if you don’t like the emotional and mental effects).

33 here and started HRT about two and a half years ago.

I guess it depends on if the DSS upgrade follows the rules of Pit Crew Hazard Pay or Advanced Crew Training, but I’m assuming the latter until proven (happily) wrong.

They also have one of the best reward programs for designers, and creating an account isn’t difficult; I really don’t see how this is an issue where links should be banned.

Plus this post isn’t even a makerworld link, it’s a hackaday link, so a URL filter wouldn’t have done anything in this case anyways.

The ship upgrade that reduces Eagle Re-Arm is specifically for when you use the stratagem with some Eagle stratagem uses remaining, so I’m assuming the DSS boost would only be for the Re-Arm stratagem, too.

I’m not gonna tell you what you are or aren’t but as 6’6” transfem there’s something awesome about being a tower of lesbian.

owning, and dealing with the regular issues of, a Sovol SV07 is what made me buy a P1S + AMS combo in the first place

It may have just been a one-off, but I hated my SV07 so much that I’ve sworn off Sovol for good (the SV07’s constant issues are what pushed me to get a P1S, actually).

bugs or bots? stalwart is tolerable on bugs but downright painful on bots, for me.

honestly, it was a year ago and I don’t remember specifics, I just remember there was transphobia from mods and screenshots to back it up.

I also remember the admins here “forgave” an admin named snow or something (from programming.dev, I think?) for his transphobic responses to a hexbear user, and users here even talked about how hexbear users must be faking transness because they don’t act the same way liberal (conservative) trans people do.

also, I don’t see how blahaj could be seen as not hard enough on transphobes :p

iirc the 196 comm had at least one transmed/truscum mod at the time of defederation, plus admins for Blahaj Zone refused to condemn an admin from another instance who said some transphobic shit, including accusing a Hexbear user of pretending to be trans for internet sympathy points or some bizarre shit.

weird non sequitur to the topic at hand but ok.

Isn’t hexbear like, one of the “transphobe” ones?

the opposite, actually! Hexbear is rabidly supportive of trans people, and defederated from Blahaj Lemmy over its comparatively lax handling of transphobia.

not me running eruptor/stalwart like the stalwart was my primary and the eruptor was my support weapon.

I actually gave up on the order halfway through, ngl. I hate the stalwart so much on higher levels.

When I ask about my gender on StackExchange, people tell me to just use Arch, but I don’t think I’m fully a trans woman?
