People speaking over me has indeed always been a thing, both before and after transitioning. The mansplaining otoh started after I came out and started hrt.

There is no ethical reason to start inventing even more gatekeeping measures. Might as well start using horoscopes.

Glad to share! I’ve been using this recipe for over a decade. :) Here it is: https://www.cooks.com/recipe/b35cq61x/holiday-apple-pie-1968.html

Apple pie! My favourite recipe uses lard, of all things. Really delicious and it works as long as there are no vegetarians. ☺️

Me too! Even though I was a deeply closeted and repressing trans girl in the 90s, I sooo appreciated Sally’s experience of going from living as an alien to living as a woman and discovering womanhood, living together with others who knew her background. It’s even more relatable now that I’ve done it myself.

They clearly just want us to be nowhere and they are using sports as one excuse to accomplish that.

There is no magic to being assigned female at birth. A girl I know was assigned female at birth until the doctors decided to forcibly reassign her as male two weeks later. It took about 25 years of her life for her to fix their mistake and start living as the woman she always was. And in the end she is an AFAB trans woman.

Why is she against asexual people, though? I don’t think she makes sense and that trying to make sense of her is a mistake.

The things they say they do to protect women, in fact hurt women.

The things they say they do to protect children, in fact hurt children.

The posts at the top of that community made me cry. I’ve never had parents I could talk to like that.
