People keep telling me this but where are the citations backing this up?

Thanks for linking the source <3

They truly are desperate to replace us

I think many of us just stay away from locker rooms and public bathrooms as much as possible because we want to avoid being stared at or getting into uncomfortable situations with others making a scene. I’m no athlete, but I try to not go to public bathrooms and I plan my life accordingly. I’ve gone a few times and it has been problem free each time, but people do look at me as they go by because I don’t pass.

How safe we feel going into a locker room is gonna depend on who we go with, where we go and how tolerated we are in that area, how confident we are, and to what degree we pass.

If someone I know invites me anywhere which requires going into a locker room I’m likely gonna tell them no. Maybe I’m overly anxious and it would go just fine, but I’m not interested in rolling the dice with how people are gonna react.

Edit: I do go to the gym, but like most people post covid I show up in my gym wear. I don’t think there even is a locker room there.

Å dæven, har ikke tenkt på båtis på lenge

They only go after people sharing files, and typically only people sharing lots of files. Technically when you torrent you are sharing files, but they don’t usually go after regular seeders. Sometimes your internet provider might ask you to stop being a pirate but that’s the most likely bad consequence for a regular pirate. Direct downloads, streaming, and usenet doesn’t involve actual sharing of files and so is perfectly legal, or at least not something that has consequences.

There’s also stuff you can do to make it less likely that your illicit activities will be detected, but that’s not something I know a lot about. I imagine VPNs can help with this sorta stuff.

Your wife is right that some people do go to prison for this, but that’s usually people like the ones behind pirate bay and similar.

I’m not a half queer half law person, so take what I have to say with lots of salt and pepper.

It is

It’s magical being able to just be content, isn’t it? I thought contentedness just meant “not bad” until I got on HRT and got to actually feel happy and content :3

I’m very happy for you, cow!

Please stop calling us “males” and “females”

all states are authoritarian

Not in the same ways. You support dictatorships where workers have no power, nor the means to eventually hold power later down the line. I support neither capitalist regimes nor dictatorships pretending to be socialist.

To get rid of the state, all property needs to be collectivized, which both gets rid of class and the state itself.

Yes.

There’s no “promising to abolish” anything, the state gradually withers away with respect to class withering away as property is sublimated and collectivized.

No marxist can describe how this will happen. The dictators in charge do not have incentives to give away their power, nor are there other mechanisms in place that can bring about socialism. It’s literally just propaganda. Inequality in china is not withering away, there’s just a growing middle class the same way we had a growing middle class in other places where industrialization happened. The state owning and running things does not equate to socialism. It could, if there was democracy of some kind rather than oligarchy supplemented with very minor political participation from a fraction of the population.

I am a Marxist, yes. I became one after engaging with history, theory, logic, and practice. The fact that poor logic and false history doesn’t sway me doesn’t diminish my points. I haven’t seen any ethical arguments being brought up here.

Your auth states commit all the evils of capitalist empires and yet you still defend them. That’s not exactly ethical. Authoritarianism can’t be ethical in practice because of the incentives the people in power have to keep their power, and the things they do to keep it. “Communist” states are far more authoritarian than most liberal democracies, which is why I call them authoritarian. I call you authoritarian because you defend them and wish to implement similar oligarchies/dictatorships elsewhere. This is not to say I like liberalism, just by comparison your system is in many ways worse. Unions are way more suppressed, people are less active politically, and there are no big benefits to make up for it. Genocide is still happening, billionaires are still being produced, freedom of speech is still suppressed, etc. Like yeah we can sit here and compare metrics and see both capitalist and marxist states are doing good and bad in all sorts of different ways. Both systems work to a point. I don’t care. I want actual democracy. I want actual freedom. I want actual socialism, or at least a system which can produce socialism unlike your auth vanguard states.

I will be blocking you after this.

Edit: To me the big mystery is why defend these states? Why aim for vanguard states? Can’t we aim for something better rather than something that has “succeeded”? Why do we have to choose between liberalism and marxism when we can instead try to work towards actual socialism?

The revolution comes, comrade :3

I will not be an enemy of existing socialism or of the working class of those countries.

You already are, auth

Can I recommend giving this a read? It’s a great resource for getting a decent understanding of some trans stuff. Covers a lot of what we feel and go through, and also the effects of hormones and such. There’s a chapter on intersex conditions also. Lots of good stuff!

Eneste som ikke er lov er testosteron og sånt for transmaske :( Østrogen, blokkere, og progesteron er ikke ulovlig (sånn som jeg forstår det iaf) men er ikke lov å selge.

Ja om det du kjøper blir tatt i tollen (som skjer ofte desverre), så tar de det, men så lenge du ikke svarer på noe så får du ikke noe problemer. Kan hende de sender brev og spør om du har resept og sånt, og da svarer man ikke altså. De fleste selgere har 1 gratis omsending om ting blir tatt, men etter det så må man kjøpe på nytt. Sjekk at det de sender forkledes som noe annet, det er ganske viktig for at ting ofte skal komme gjennom. Kalles gjerne stealth.

Personlig har ca 50%-70% kommet gjennom?

Om du skal kjøre DIY anbefaler jeg at du leser grunndig og nøye gjennom guider og om stoffene etc. Kort fortalt er det tryggeste å ta kun østrogen gjennom injeksjoner. De andre metodene krever som regel at du også tar en hormon blokker som over tid ikke er optimale for helsen din. De er ikke super dårlige i de dosene vi tar for HRT men om du kan unngå dem er det best. Jeg anbefaler ikke piller. Det er den verste måten å ta østrogen på. Om sprøyter høres skummelt ut (det er skummelt til å starte med men er egentlig veldig chill!) så kan du prøve spray eller gelé i stedet! Det fungerer veldig bra, men man må ta flere ganger per dag da i stedet for 1 gang per uke som med injeksjon.

Jeg anbefaler uansett da at du ber om å bli referert til riksen, selv om du bestemmer deg for å gjøre ting på egenhånd. De har lange ventelister, men om du får kjønnsinkongruensdiagnose av dem får du statsstøtte på diverse greier som hårfjerning, kirurgi, stemmetrening, osv.

Telling trans people that disclosing their trans status in medical contexts on the surface seems defensible, but it seems to me that it may be more motivated by a desire to reduce trans people to their assigned sex in medical contexts, which in the end is less about good medicine and more about cis-sexist norms.

Yeah. I’ve yet to have a medical professional gender me correctly in reports. I’m a man who thinks he’s a woman to them. They all seem so pleasant until I read their reports and see what they were actually thinking.

Edit: This is Jorunn btw :P just with my lemmy account

Kommentaren federer enda så svarer her på lemmy kontoen min i stedet. Nei var i en liten by i nordland, på vop. Det beste du kan gjøre er å flytte til oslo og komme deg inn på HKS om du er 30 el yngre. Du må bo i oslo for å få behandling der. Alternativene er riksen (som suger, de er onde, det tar veldig lang tid, og kan hende de bare sender deg hjem for å “ikke være trans nok”), eller imago (dyrt og kun over nett). Du kan forsåvidt også begynne med hormoner på egenhånd som jeg gjør. Vi har en lemmy community med lenker og ressurser, men den faktiske aktive communitien er på matrixen om du vil gjøre DIY. Det finnes noen leger som skriver ut hormoner, men da må man være heldig eller finne gjennom andre trans folk. Om du er transmask er det også mulig å få tak i hormoner gjennom de som bruker steroider og sånt. Det er samme greierne. Ah, ser ut som du er transfem <3

Legen min gav meg ikke store problemer fordi jeg er trans, han bare hjalp meg ikke forbi simple blodprøver. VOP var problemet for meg, og siden jeg var i en liten by hadde jeg ikke noen andre behandlere å gå til. De er redd for at det at du er trans skal være svært forstyrrende og gjøre det vanskelig å vite hva som er at du er trans og hva som er andre problemer. De var også redde for at hormoner (jeg tar ikke en gang blokker) skulle påvirke adhd medisin som er latterlig. Mange leger er nok også litt redde for hvordan det at du er trans påvirker andre ting fordi de ikke har kompetanse om det og fordi de ikke har tiden / ikke orker å sette seg inn i det. Du kan spørre folk på trans norge discorden eller transnord redditen om forslag til leger og frisører og sånt.

Håper jeg har svart på spørsmålet ditt <3
