For a split second my dumbass thought the Fukushima nuclear accident had fried the rice

watching reddit go into a full death spiral is like watching the specifically trans equivalent of the library of alexandria go up in flames

like yes reddit is also the only place on the internet you can get an actual answer to any question in general. but it’s also a huge centralized community database about which surgeons will fuck you over, who takes what insurance, which doctors you can trust, how to write a template therapist’s letter, insurance appeals, peer support, questions that feel too stupid to ask anywhere else, diy guidelines, “hey this is embarrassing but,” finding trans people in your area, explaining why you need PTO without getting way too personal about it, safety tips, et cetera you get the picture

Someone on trans Reddit just bought the url transgender.org and have put out a call for folks to help turn it into a replacement (and more). Here's a link on r/ftm but it's open to everyone

Tooting my horn a bit here as I worked on it, and it’s obv information from one place and perspective not a community message board, but if you haven’t visited TransHub, it’s full of great and verified information and is run by a NFP in Australia so is likely to stay up despite what’s going on overseas. Also like 95% of the information is non-location specific, so despite it being written in Australia it’s super valuable no matter where you are.

Also, don't forget to upload links to web.archive.org

im sure ive said this before but speaking as a hairy guy who wears skirts more than pants. sometimes you guys put guys in maid dresses when they’re more of a tight blue jeans type femme.. putting fictional men in cute little outfits needs to be done with care.. feminize him but let his style peak thru.. they can’t all be catboys and submissive maids…

also sometimes some guys would wear maid dresses but they’d be party city fuckin unironed wrinkled shiny plasticy fabric shit. absolute dismal presentation. but it would fit character wise. because i care about these kinds of things

You see that one? He's called the "heel." He looks mean and says a lot of scary things, but it's not real and he's actually very nice. When he says "I'm going to break you in half" you don't have to be scared because it's pretend. These two talked about this beforehand, and now they're playing pretend together. Can you think of any other situations that might be like this?

i dont like the idea that kids these days are doing their fandom rps with ai chatbots. that's how you're supposed to make lifelong friends as a weird really online teen.
