How does my home instance lemm.ee fare? Are they a good one?

Makes sense to me, AMAB these days has little to do with maleness, it just describes if someone was born with a dick and balls, that’s how they decide “It’s a boy” when the baby is born anyway, even though they might be dead wrong 🏳️‍⚧️

That’s what I did as well, just because god or whatever higher power gave me a penis doesn’t make me any less of a woman.

I think it might have been partly because I said to her once that I wanted to try and reduce or prevent muscle loss on HRT and maybe she took that as me having second thoughts about getting HRT. Also she didn’t specifically say that girlmoding or commitment was required for HRT but that she found my lack of it concerning. I shouldn’t beat myself up too much for it though. She was trying to gatekeep me, I didn’t mess up by telling her that.

I was thinking that I would take HRT long enough for permanent changes to set in since one thing that I do worry about is muscle loss on HRT. Then I’d stop taking it and the blockers, probably gradually and let my body’s natural hormones take over again. I’m not sure how bad muscle loss on HRT is, I’ve heard some people say it’s not that bad but I’ve heard others say enthusiastically that it’ll “melt your muscles away like butter”. If it’s closer to the second I definitely plan to stop in the future.

Also yeah, I guess what I’m doing would be considered informed consent, not DIY. Im my defense I’ve heard many people call it DIY and I’m still very much a noob a this whole trans thing (only came out a few months ago and I learn new things everyday 😅).

That seems shitty (also FYI trap is a nasty word). I’m not doing that at all. I try and be very clear that I’m a girl. A masculine girl who likes sports, cars, and getting dirty but a girl no less.

It means AMAB. Best way to remember is that trans terminology describes identities we identify with, or direction of transition. So trans women are women, and transfem (transfeminine) means feminine or feminizing.

Fuck you, I’m not waiting longer than I need to. I’m doing DIY if my therapist doesn’t write me the letter, I’m not finding another one and wasting more months talking about worthless feelings just so they can maybe write me a letter when I could’ve started DIY and began the journey already.

I’ve seen people talk shit and try and argue that detransition rates are higher than they really are. They’ve used that to justify long wait times for HRT and transitioning. I just didn’t want people to give me the speech about how the wait is to make me sure so I don’t regret it and detransition. I know that won’t happen because I desperately want the changes, my flat chest gives me immense dysphoria.

I have no idea why or if my therapist is gatekeeping me, it could just be that she hasn’t written the letter yet, but I for one am not willing to wait more months for her to do so. The sooner I start the better.

I was never able to get a girlfriend, so I decided to become the girlfriend (I still really wish I had a girlfriend ☹️).

Superglue is way worse than wheatpaste, if wheatpaste is hard to remove, superglue is impossible without causing extensive surface damage, especially on plastic surfaces.

Get a superglue bottle with a brush and coat the surface in that before putting the sticker on it. It’ll make it a pain to remove and basically impossible without surface damage.

In the bathrooms of any red state or republican-leaning town.

Agreed, I wish they’d stop with this whole discourse. Just let me fucking take estrogen. I’ve been waiting months and talking to a therapist, if I don’t get it by march I’d doing DIY. I encourage others to join me, no more shit, no more games. Just Do It.

Yeah, though I am more flexible than most people when it comes to that. Many people are either tops or bottoms mostly, I’m happy with both.

I never feel bad for correcting them when they self-incorrect themselves. I tend to be more on the aggressive side when someone gets it right the first time but then goes “sorry sir”. One time I went off on a waitress for doing it, and she looked so scared and deeply regretted it, she looked like she was going to cry. After the meal when she brought the check she apologized profusely for misgendering me. So I think being a bitch about being misgendered is sometimes a good thing. When I’ve been nice people are pleasant but end up forgetting. But when I’m a bitch, they remember.

It’s like spritzing a cat’s face with water to get them to stop doing that thing they shouldn’t be doing. Unpleasant but necessary.

I don’t mind. I like all kinds of women, cis, trans, tops, bottoms. I just like women.

I think a big part of it is just that many want control, they want to limit what we’re capable of doing. They especially don’t want us doing things that go against them and their will as companies. Which is why they try to block us from doing those things they dislike so much, like generating porn, or discussing violent content.

I noticed that certain prompts people used for the purpose of AI poisoning are now marked as against the terms of service on ChatGPT so the whole “control” thing doesn’t seem so crazy.

I didn’t even know much I wanted before, or how happy it made me to be called by she/her pronouns for the first time. I’m so glad I found out though, and I’m excited for the future.

I can open it for ya, I’m transfem but I’m quite strong.

Question, I’m very buff right now and I don’t plan to stop working out so I can keep as much muscle as possible, does anyone know how that’ll effect the growth when I do get on E?
