TBH, I am not sure about suggesting “trying estrogen” to someone who has explicitly stated a lack of dysphoria.

If OP feels happy and complete by presenting in a GNC manner, then they don’t need to do anything else.

I get that you’re coming from a place of support and empathy (and hear you about your experiences with denial), but I don’t think you should assume OP’s feelings and experiences match yours.

The face is nowhere near as bad as that absolute chode of a neck.

I drink them because I have a serious problem staying hydrated. It sounds weird but I hate the sensation of drinking water – always have, and forcing myself to drink more rarely works.

I can drink juice and soft drinks without issue, but that’s not exactly a healthy way to live. Supplementing my low water intake with a sugar free sports drink goes a long way.

Oh yeah. There’s no doubt that modern web tech stacks are inefficient slop - patchwork built upon patchwork.

However, JS has been included in every major browser for well over a decade. It’s industry standard at this point, so I found the position of expecting commercial services to be backwards compatible with a 1998 browser setup a little odd.

What do you think about WebGL apps?

i, as a user, should be able to switch off javascript and have the site work exactly as it does with javascript turned on

Not agreeing or disagreeing, but why?

Just signed up! Thanks.

Sorry you feel that way!

My trip to the USA in 2016 was one of the most harrowing, dehumanising, and humiliating experiences of my life. And I’m talking specifically about the actual journey, i.e. after the already lengthy, painful process of acquiring a visa.

They treated me like a terrorist. I had to be escorted by 2 armed big dudes around the airport, and they flipped their shit when I reached for my phone to tell my brother it’d be a while before I can come out (just so he wouldn’t worry.) They went through my bag and were handling everything SUPER gently, asking if it was “safe” for them to touch it.

They then confiscated my passport, walked off, and literally never returned it to me. I spent hours asking various members of airport staff what to do because I was screwed. Thankfully, eventually one of them found it in a drawer and gave it back to me.

I was a minor BTW. I have had no desire to repeat the experience since.

A… week long meeting? Surely there’s a more productive use of everyone’s time.

Did you get one with a drainage spout? Best thing ever.

Congratulations! It’s a right to have your own skin feel like home :)

Tyvm!

Thank you!

Thanks!

My instance does replace slurs with ‘removed’ though

This shows up as fiddlrts.removed on my Lemmy instance. Does the top level domain coincidentally include a slur? :p

Huh?

Disturbingly similar to my employer.

I use “queer” in the reclaimed sense, but I appreciate that not everyone is OK with it. Saying that, I kind of prefer the initialism – LGBT – and don’t really see an issue with it myself.

Nothing to worry about whatsoever. My high school cohort and I ended up all over the world - some in countries with 3 year programmes, others in countries with 4 year programmes, others who dropped out or changed fields and started over.

I promise you that it does not matter. What matters is that you achieve your own goal of getting a bachelor’s, at your pace. :)
