@dawid@vebinet.com fwiw, a further fillip to thailand's nice LGBTQI credentials is how well they have catered to the T part of the acronym, being a prime destination for pre-op transwomen from around the world to travel there for our life-saving surgeries ... 2006 being my huge year for this. i have no current info, but hope they have kept up their world-standard hospital facilities & surgical expertise that so many of us around the rock have come to esteem so highly. #thailand #LGBTQI #transition #MtF #PostOp #Transwomen

This remains one of my favorite parts of Discworld, possibly of fiction in general:

Excerpt From Feet of Clay by Terry Pratchett where ~~ is used used to denote crossed out text, and ** is my added empathise:

Angua read it. It was a list of names, although most of them were crossed out:

~~Cheery Littlebottom~~ ~~Cherry~~ ~~Sherry~~ ~~Sherri~~ Lucinda Littlebottom ~~Sharry~~ ~~Sharri~~ Cheri

‘Er … what do you think?’ said Cheery nervously. ‘“Lucinda”?’ said Angua, raising her eyebrows. ‘I’ve always liked the sound of the name.’ ‘“Cheri” is nice,’ said Angua. ‘And it is rather like the one you’ve got already. The way people spell in this town, no one will actually notice unless you point it out to them.’ Cheery’s shoulders sagged with released tension. When you’ve made up your mind to shout out who you are to the world, it’s a relief to know that you can do it in a whisper. ‘Cheri’, thought Angua. Now, what does that name conjure up? Does the mental picture include iron boots, iron helmet, a small worried face and a long beard? Well, it does now.

Helpful resources for trans people: 1) Am I trans? https://amitrans.org/ 2) How come? https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en 3) How to get HRT? Injections are the gold standard. If they don't exist in your country then get them via DIY HRT. DIY HRT community on Lemmy, and #diyhrt hashtag on Mastodon will help you. 4) Am I passing? https://troontraits.web.app 5) I'm not safe! If you're under 18, ask for help from social services. You're allowed to fake the situation too, starting HRT before 18 is very important. Do whatever it takes but just do it! If it's your country that sucks, then contact here @trans_rescue@mastodon.social You're allowed to manipulate a therapist to get yourself out of your shitty home if you're going for social services path. You have one life, and don't ruin it for people who don't care about you. Life is cruel, and it doesn't forgive mistakes. 6) Any other advice? Stick to libre software, and encrypted software. Stay away from mainstream if possible. Dig deep everyday. Learning never stops! I would personally make my transition permanent by getting orchiectomy or whatever you have. Also updating your ID and documents will help too. As a trans person, your only friends are other trans people even if you're cis-passing. Don't be dumb. #trans #transgender #LGBT #hrt #diyhrt #tutorial #help #transition

It’s too late to stop me. #ThingsYouCantUnsay #trans #transition I already did it. I’m beyond their checkpoints. They can still kill me. They can still cage me. They can still martyr me. And I haven’t reach the end of my journey. But they can’t stop me from self-actualizing. They, here a pronoun in its multiple and nameless form, affirming no one. The agents of the patriarchy. Everyday people, when they act from the internalized patriarchal norms they’ve been inundated with. They, who declare me to be their enemy. They, whom I reluctantly accept as my enemies. I’m a binary woman, and I walked heedlessly into a backscatter x-ray machine today, physically transformed by the banality and wonder of hormones, the magic and sparkle of fashion, and the skill and compassion of a trans surgeon. I no longer fear that my body will be misunderstood as a different gender. I am a woman, though. I certainly fear that my body will be violated by patriarchy, as all people ought to fear. Backscatter x-rays are a crystalized shard of patriarchal violence. They enforce rigid gendered forms and violate the bodily autonomy of everyone who walks through them. Whatever veils and rules may ostensibly protect the privacy of the victims, the core function of those machines is to classify everyone into acceptable or suspect body shapes. I happen to be affirmed by my body being a shape that is, coincidentally, on the approved list of shapes. I’m grateful to fate for this privilege, but my outrage for others simmers. This is not how we should live. And so I stride, at first slowly, as my suture-lines knit together, careful not to pop a stitch, and in time with stronger steps, through the airport security checkpoint and its representation as the last gate of my medical transition and towards clearings, small points of higher ground, places to shine. I’m a walking demonstration of the possible, and I want people to know it. I’m not looking for the tallest places around - I don’t want to pit myself against that amount of attention. I try to have a realistic understanding of my limits, and I want my fire to last. The longer I burn, the more people can see me and learn from me. But I do plan to burn. I’ll not run and hide; I will burn my brightest here, in the culture I was raised in. It is here I’ll stand, confident that my life can mean something if I live out loud, with pride and self-esteem. 1/2 (please boost both if you boost)

#Transition is for #trans people the process in which they stop acting. We've been handed one of two scripts (colour coded), and it was the wrong one - think Vin Diesel doing MacBeth, hilarious for a stunt, really not something you can keep up for a living. And then we... stop doing that. At least that's what it should be. Instead, often enough, we get the prospect of passing. Dressing a certain way. Picking clothes that will hide certain features. Stop acting one way, and starting to act another. No. Just stop acting. You're not leaving one cookie cutter that relentlessly amputated you to jump into the next one that'll do the same. Stop acting. Unlearn the acts you've learned. That takes time. Approach what you have been all along, and draw your actions from that. Don't take something that is meant to be liberation to put yourself into a different cage. This isn't just for trans people, though. Stop acting. Seriously. Anyway, that's how I ended up as a vaguely fem goblin.

this essay was linked within an interesting thread i saw several hours ago, but which [essay] i've only just read now, whilst the thread is lost, buried, deep within the timeline somewhere. https://juliaserano.medium.com/why-are-amab-trans-people-denied-the-closet-7fd5c740ce30 there's little i can relate to in Julia's interesting & well-considered #trans privilege piece. she passes, i don't [despite the absolute fortune i spent on all the ops, therapies, consultations, pharma, electro, et al during the three years of my #transition 2004-2006]. she lives amongst society, i don't [hidden alone at home since 2010 in unresolvable devastation of not passing]. she has views of the various turf [& terf] internecine wars, i don't specifically, other than sadness that we've indulged in such spurious battles within, when the actual enemy is without.

given my entirely internal existence >=2010, it's ofc purely academic, but if i were ever gonna buy another #bike, it'd be another #MountainBike, & certainly not, never, an #ebike , euw. occasionally if i venture into my de-carred garage, & see my orange m/b still hanging there, sadly still with its buckled rear wheel from the spoke that broke during my final ride of it, in 2005, early during my #transition, it makes me pretty emotional. i used to love riding it. fuck i've lost so much. 🥺 #dropbearshit #failedtransition #depression #socialphobia #riding

Money saved from closing 12 museums will help half of them remain open The Nova Scotia government will use more than $300,000 it’s saving from closing 12 provincial museums to help six of them transition to community-run operations. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/dave-ritcey-musuems-9.7175269?cmp=rss
