A thriving homosexual underground existed before and even during the rise of the Third Reich. What can queer resistance to the Nazis teach us today?
IM injection works the best for most folks but estrogel is the safest. Doing buccal with pills was just a waste of time for me. If I had it all to do over again I'd start with injections. It probably seems scary to you right now but injections are where you will most likely end up so just go ahead and start off right.
Have patience with yourself because sourcing crypto, injectables, and injection supplies isn't a figure it all out in one night kind of a thing. The hardest part about DIY is learning how to use crypto, so step one is to install a software wallet like Electrum-LTC and figure out how to get funds into it in your country. If you're extra paranoid for some reason learn how to transfer LTC into an XMR wallet.
There's some simple math to figure out how much to inject based on the concentration of your vial. Swapable Luer lock needles with 18G to draw and 23G to inject make it easy for me and almost pain free. They usually have a bit of "dead space" inside the needles so I pull all the medication out of the 18G into the syringe, swap to the 23G, and fill it up till a drop forms at the tip of the needle.
Keeping a small makeup bag stocked with some hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, cotton balls, bandages, syringes, needles, and the vial makes for a nice all in one grab and go.
Also, pride and joy are their own forms of resistance. There's no time like the present to get even weirder in MAGA eyes.
I'm really sorry that you're feeling overwhelmed! The last time cheetolini was in office was bad and this time is already worse. The easiest thing you can do right now is to take a deep breath and try meditation if you haven't. There might be some mutual aid groups nearby. That's where you should go if you need help. If you're trans, visiting with your local trans support group could be really helpful. You're welcome to message me too if you want.
Yep!
It is important to note that this will, in turn, cause a surge in testosterone levels, which may be very dysphoric and unpleasant for patients.
Have a look at A Gender-Affirming Approach to Fertility Care for Transgender and Gender-Diverse Patients. Sperm production can usually be restarted with human chorionic gonadotropin, Raloxifene, or Clomifene.
Queer Wanderings through the Other Germany and the Anti-Nazi Underworld: An Invocation
The laws targeting queer and trans people that are proliferating across the United States are a symptom of a much deeper and more insidious reaction, the inevitable outgrowth of a deeply repressive and hierarchical society confronting the possibility of collapse. Today’s gender fascism is not confined to the policies of a single political party. It takes different forms across the political spectrum, bringing together essentialist narratives about identity, a resurgent patriarchal mythos, and the persisting power of the state.
This is not the first time that a reactionary society has sought scapegoats. Like our predecessors in the early twentieth century, if we hope to survive, we have to combat these forces on every level, using a wide range of strategies and tools.
In the following ecstatic history, our comrades revisit queer resistance to the Nazis, seeking tactics and inspiration for our own troubled times.
The old version of The Sims works just fine for me with the widescreen patcher and doesn't require any app store or online account.
The first hyperlink in the article itself, to the original reporting, is free of transphobic language. Why share the version with a hateful reframing?
Transgender and Nonbinary People Take Trump to Court Over Passport Restrictions

Following an executive order from President Donald Trump barring people from updating the sex designation on their passports, seven people have filed a federal lawsuit challenging the State Department’s refusal to issue passports with accurate sex designations.
On his first day in office, Trump signed an executive order attempting to mandate discrimination against transgender people across the federal government and government programs. This included a directive to the Departments of State and Homeland Security “to require that government-issued identification documents, including passports, visas, and Global Entry cards” reflect their sex “at conception.” Under the ensuing Passport Policy, within 24 hours the State Department began holding some passports and other documents (such as birth certificates and court orders) submitted by transgender, intersex, and nonbinary people who had applied to update the sex designation on their U.S. passports and returning others with their applicat

Reducing your dose in order to feel safer is a bad idea. Why not instead focus that anxious energy on educating yourself in a new science hobby? There are many interesting projects involving estrogen!
Actually playing games during dire emotional states throws fuel unto my dissociation/depersonalization/derealization problems; but just mindfully sitting in my favorite place in the Temple of the Moon on a private vanilla WoW server works great for me. The sounds, music, colors, lighting effects, and water create a very zen space that helps me observe my thoughts and feelings without getting so tangled up in them. That kind of presence helps me better understand what is really going on and how it all happened.
If things are merely bad then maybe I'll play some original Sims 1 or Rimworld on the coziest of settings. So long as there's no nest of trash around then it's probably okay. Eufloria in relaxed mode is a lovely RTS game that hasn't ever caused me any problems.
Hopefully you find your way through this soon!
Thank you! As a witchy agnostic pagan with christotrauma I love your username too. Sorry for the late reply! Taking long breaks from social media is important to me. Btw grats for living rent free in my head for this long :)
Illinois will issue trans refugees a new birth certificate! This is a recent development and the other sanctuary states will hopefully be pressured to step up and do likewise. So call your state politicians :) Make it happen!
If you travel by auto when wearing tight clothes be sure to mind the extra clearance needed for your glasses when getting inside! One of my trendy larger frames took a scratch that way soon after getting them. Also don't limit yourself to just two pairs but instead get some cheap ones to change up your appearance. Accessorize :)
Wikipedia states that NGO Monitor's focus is to "End promotion of 'politically and ideologically motivated anti-Israel agendas' by certain NGOs," that they report "on international NGO activity from a pro-Israel perspective," and that a former online communication editor employed with the group was indefinitely banned for biased editing. Personally I'm more inclined to trust a Wikipedia article with 75 sources unless there is substantial evidence to the contrary.
I’m a hyper-logical type, does engineering things for fun
That's totally cool! Many so far have presented philosophical answers based more in application of reason than empirical inquiry when you might perhaps prefer an answer based in biological science.
I suppose my followup to that would be what gives someone a specific sense of gender?
As a binary trans woman my very being in and for myself imparts upon me a capacity for directly revealed self-knowledge regarding my gender, which is to say how I wish to be as a presence and present myself to others within the world.
To say ‘I am a woman’ is taking societies interpretation of woman as being right.
Perish the thought! In general however I might reveal my gender it is as an invitation to others for them to interact with me and understand me as a woman. Try to think of this as less a matter of being right or wrong and more one of how you and another might best both enjoy your interactions together.
What differentiates that from ‘I am a man who likes womanly things’?
Gender does! It is literally that simple.
What separates the ‘tomboy’ woman from a trans-masc?
They would through their understanding of their own genders which grants truth or grants falsehood to statements regarding their gender.
Due to my low tolerance for the cishetmono nonsense engendering their fascination with us trans folk, I've chosen to beat a wide path around any works by and for cishets involving trans characters. However it would be wonderful to have stories in our own voices with complex characters which challenge viewers to rethink their own relationships with the structural injustices binding our society together. Perhaps some appealing psychopathic antagonists, seductively evil side characters, and morally gray protagonists? Something like the delightfully unapologetic queer feminist streaming adaptation of Killing Eve would be great! Definitely go check it out if you haven't seen it yet!
Yes indeed! You might wish to look into the idea of double consciousness, the dual self-perception experienced by subordinated or colonized groups in an oppressive society. Its a sense of attempting to perceive yourself as both who you know yourself to be and as an oppressive other will perceive you. If you want to smash that noise then you need to learn to stop being ashamed of yourself!
Also, you definitely should be taking the self-defense class appropriate to your gender as violence is very often gendered. There's a podcast episode of The Gender Rebels about one trans women's experience taking Krav Maga you might want to give a listen.
Good luck and take care :)
LukHash, my favorite Commodore 64 artist, just released a new album recently! If you enjoy chiptunes and retrowave check it out! There's a new video up for Keygen as well. For anyone newly interested in chiptunes and chiptune inspired sounds, LukHash would be an awesome introduction!
Conception has raised $40 million and claims to have made some new progress towards allowing same-sex couples whether gay, lesbian, or transgender to have genetically related offspring created from stem cells.
"Krisiloff and his colleagues say their company has gotten closer to making IVG a reality than anyone else by creating structures found in ovaries known as follicles, which are crucial for maturing eggs."
"Within a year, Krisiloff and his colleagues hope, they'll prove that the follicles in the mini-ovaries can develop the immature eggs into ones capable of being fertilized to make embryos and babies."
"We think it means we're quite close to being able to have proof-of-concept human eggs — instead of this abstract idea that's really just an imaginative science fiction idea — that really indicates that, 'Hey, this technology is actually closer than people think.'"
