victim blaming
Can't tell if this is sarcasm, but corporations are not people, they are soulless, for-profit enterprises that will, for damn sure, abuse and exploit any one and any thing they can in the name of profit. They don't get the defense of "victim blaming".
If they open themselves up to malicious actors through improper security, or lawsuits due to improper practices, then that's their own fault.
Not so great. 6 months HRT.
I don't look good in any feminine clothing. I'm too insecure to practice voice or makeup around my partner. Because I don't look remotely femme I'm too insecure to look for a hairdresser.
My partner keeps pressuring me because I don't like enough traditionally cis woman things, or don't like them as much as I should, or that I still like some things that are not necessarily targeted towards cis women, and its ruining my self-confidence. I need local transfem friends I can reach out to and hang out with and go shopping with but its not easy being older and non-US.
Once step forward, three steps back.
I do understand why this decision was taken, but I think this could become very messy without some explicit method of requesting (or rejecting) engagement. Lemmy is a very big place, and its unlikely even the most well-meaning individuals will check the sidebar for every single community they enter when they only want to contribute to a post. This is just exacerbated by the subjective, loosely defined requests for engagement as the system stands.
Even aside from outside users, I can imagine it creating issues when moderation is enforced. We've already had enough drama around this instance regarding the way we protect our users and defend our right to exist, the best thing we can do moving forward is make such protections as clear, unambiguous, and explicit as possible. For the safety of our transfem girlies and the health of our community discussions.
I would definitely vote for a set of community agreed tags in post titles to state engagement preferences, where any post without a tag should be assumed to encourage engagement from any reader.
I'll settle for being a cute, comfy mess hehe~
I am super looking forward to corsetry though, but I am a bit worried about my tummy, I'm slowly starting to see the effects of extra exercise but I'd really appreciate any suggestions you might have to help there!
*sets unrealistic expectations for myself cutely* tee hee :3
Oh my, I hope they didn't hurt themselves with all the mental gymnastics they had to do!
“we don’t like or condone bigotry in any form.” = "We don't limit or defund bigotry in any form"
What's that saying about if you're sitting at a table with a Nazi and you don't say anything then there's another Nazi at the table?
Plan an exercise regime, if you don't have one already! Of course every transition is a little different, but from what I've seen weight gain can be common.
It also has another benefit: as you become estrogenized fat gained will be distributed differently, so a good diet and exercise plan can help work off any fat in boy places ready to become the new, beautiful, feminine you! ❤️❤️
I had to prove it's a Unix OS! I took this, grabbed snackies and put it full screen, I promise <3
Oh wowww, that does sound super pretty and satisfying, I definitely need lots more soft and lovely layers!
Thank you for contributing, everyone's unique brand of femininity is valued and appreciated ❤️
I don't understand, this is literally what I've seen a bunch of other training guides say, working on raising your larynx, being aware of the sounds your mouth and throat make, and slowly raising your vocal range. What's the difference between this and the other guides?
I swear I'm about to have a breakdown, this is literally the only guide that's straightforward and tells you what to do instead of giving you 15000 word essays on resonance and how pitch isn't that important without actually telling you how to change your voice.
