Looking for fiction with good trans representation that my family might read. Need books that:
Normalize trans experiences for cis individuals,
Match specific genres/themes for each family member, and
Don't scream "trans" from the cover.
Dad's into Tom Clancy, so a military submarine thriller with trans representation would be ideal—super specific, right? Wonder how that would play out!
Don’t know of a formal process yet, but an informal process may be possible. Contacting the current moderator or instance admin, many instance admins have their matrix accounts listed as well which may help with contacting them.
After the hack last night, effected instances, lemmy.world being one of them, invalidated existing login tokens as a security measure after updating. If it is persisting after deleting the app, you may want to try my personal fix. What I did was
Log into alt account in addition to my primary one
After you have 2 accounts added to the app the option to delete, basically log out of the account, will appear by both accounts (memmy only lets you do this if there is more than one account, it won't let you sign out if it is the only account on the app) then I deleted the primary account from the app.
I exit the app and close the tab
Open the app again, and resign into primary account by hitting the add account option.
I know it has its issues, but with the app right now I have to load the same post within a web browser to see what emoji someone used… these can completely change the meaning of a message considering how much variety they have.
In app version at current:

And no, when I click the file in the app it doesn’t load the emoji. Rather I just get a blank greeted out image view screen.
It’s not that, it is when someone (correctively misgenders) as in they got the right gender and then when they catch a hint you might be trans or see something that points to your AGAB they switch it up and miss gender you. That is what the OP is about and I think this is what the comment was also referring to aswell.
The OP is based on the common occurrence of this for MTF individuals, especially those that have grown out our hair… while someone may gender us correctly from behind, they sometimes (correctively misgender) when you turn around. This can be done with the best intentions in mind, like they thought they misgendered a guy as a girl, so they apologize despite the fact that the apology is in fact an insult at that point.
I remember the first time someone called me miss in public I felt amazing, the second time it happened it crashed when they apologized and said sir. Instead of getting off work that day giddy because I was called miss, I spent the rest of the night disgusted trying to deduce what features made them question their first thought.
I am personally not in a postilion to correct people right now as I am still using my dead name with some people... in the future though I would LOVE to just say "no need to apologize, you got it right the first time." Keeping in mind that for those that are working retail, it is probably best to politely correct whenever possible.
Now just out right aggressive shit like when I heard some guy behind my back say something along the lines of...
(was going to leave a very upsetting example here but decided to spare you the example, but let's just say that while I am boymode-ing often it is obvious to many that I am either trans or queer based on my appearance)
...as I was still working I just turned around and while my voice and words were nothing but polite... I am sure my expression did the trick because the dude shut up fast.
(I hate my body (my height being one thing I wish I could change), but in situations like that, an upset expression from a 6'2" person is somewhat more affective)
"Passing" especially for others is not the goal, although none of us can deny that is does feel good when a stranger even for a second correctly genders you.
Although, it sucks like hell if they "correct" themselves right afterward.
Looking for tutorial recommendations, because I have watched a few that were not that informative and kinda condescending.
I have been kinda winging it with the makeup knowledge my Ex taught me, but kinda think I could do better.
Today, violence by state and private actors against LGBTQ+ people of color, particularly against trans people of color, grows, as evidenced by the current wave of anti-trans laws, misinformation campaigns, and transphobic and homophobic violence.
As we continue to push for a vision of public safety that provides for sustainable and healthy communities, it is crucial to remember that the police, and the criminal justice system as a whole, have long denied people safety because of their sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender presentation – and have historically targeted LGBTQ+ people of color in particular. At the same time, LGBTQ+ people of color have an equally lengthy history of bravely countering these abuses and fighting for liberation.
It's The Systems Of Systemic Police Violence Against Minority Groups, Not Any Individualist Sentiments About Bad & Good Apples. Unlike Minority Identities Like Race & LGBTQ+, Policing Is A Chosen Profession, So It Is Not Reductionism When Criticizing The System Of Policing To Use Broad Statements About Police. The Police Are A System, Not A Collection Of People That Were Born Police.
Furthermore, I have worked as a leasing agent in the past, and I will still say Fuck Landlords, Our Society Would Be Better Off Without Them.
The Prosecutor’s Office of Padova (Italy) has asked a local court to remove any same-sex non-biological parent on birth certificates, denying same-sex families the right to State recognition.
