It's just so much more important in my day to day life. But, since sex is when genitals, it's not covered in the slightest.

there's an electronic billboard near here showing PROUD MOMENTS and so far the ones I've seen are entirely things like "New York passes gender identity anti-discrimination bill" which feel like they're specifically designed to rub in how lovely Florida is right now, thanks ClearChannel

the last time i deliberately went to pride (in st. petersburg, florida not russia) i had a horrible time at a horrible pride. the parade was mostly banks and poo poo, and the main attraction was a stage set up hosted by a sassy drag queen who was loudly making real uncomfortable rape jokes. also they had just moved it from the actually gay district to the trendy restaurant district, presumably to redirect the money to the wealthier owners of the trendy restaurants. also it was the first year trans people were even allowed to explicitly participate which, yikes i say deliberately cuz since then i did go down to the club district (in tampa) once just to get dinner at a nice restaurant and it turns out they were having a pride parade in like, march, and that one was fine i guess

i drove to Boulder for pride a couple weekends ago. it was a little rainy, and i don't get on with crowds too well so I was gone in an hour that said i had a good time! good music, whoever was on the sax killed it imo. got some artwork, and a random passer-by complimented my dress

In Poland, to get your name changed you have to amend your birth certificate, and to do that, you have to sue both of your parents; then a panel of "specialists" appointed by the court will decide whether you're actually trans or not. Said specialists are rarely, you know, competent, so it's always a lottery. I've been putting it off for years because holy poo poo some of the horror stories

A common choice is to gently caress off to Ireland and stay there for five or ten years to gain citizenship, but that takes way longer.

quiggy posted:i did want it at one point but had A Bad Experience so i just never followed through again some places will do a local with lidocaine/norepinephrine mixture if you ask really nicely but it costs extra and they often need a special technician to do it if not, you can buy it thru medical suppliers and if you have a friend who knows doctorythings or a nurse you can ask them to do it. a lot of medical students are also happy to do it if you know any and you can pay them. you put pockets around the essential nerves of the face following a diagram of the pathways of sensing and you put pillows of it around, then massage it against the skin and its own porousness will spread between fat cells and surround the nerves. its very good and not very difficult to do and kind of hard to gently caress up, but you do need a very fine needle (0.08) and you need to be comfortable putting a sharp thing into your own face or letting someone else do it. it'll sting but noway even near as much as electro does remember it needs to be around 15% norepinephrine to control the swelling and so that the nerves don't panic over the inconsistency of the ion-channels changing and then self-regulate so the pain comes back suddenly all at once during the procedure: it'll make sure lidocaine does its job fully for its full duration the effective duration is roughly between 35 minutes and 40 minutes with the falloff starting around 25 minutes in. my advice is do the electrolysis in the most sensitive areas first (top lip). fairly often, a person has one side of their face be significantly more sensitive than the other, and its usually the same side as their dominant eye, so start on that side too. the practitioner should be zapping 10 in a row, and then doing the plucks. doing it in bursts like this is much much faster, and it means if feeling has come back, you know by the first zap in that area. the feeling coming back begins around the mouth, and slowly moves along the neck, and finally the jawline, though where differs from person to person. when you've got the pattern down, its significantly easier. word of advice too: don't bring music, because you need to communicate with the practitioner, and don't close your eyes as you should focus on a point in the room. look up the breathing techniques often used by pregnant women, as they do genuinely help with pain management toward the end though if you can get the local you'll be fine for most of it honestly and you don't feel much. if you can get the local topped up during the procedure, you can literally do the entire face in a single sitting without needing to phase different areas and you can get the entire complete set of procedures done in around 12 sessions. this is legitimately how i think all electrolysis should sincerely be done and i think it should be considered a surgical procedure given it is in many cases literally also a life-saving procedure for dealing with pain management. the fact local isn't standard is frankly barbaric and proof that we basically live in the dark ages if i'm honest. if you've ever seen memes about slovenia being full of femboys/transwomen, its because in the capital Ljubljana, there's a medical tourism business and its very common for people to pay a cosmetic surgeon to give them the lidocaine shot then immediately get in the car and be driven to an electrolysis place around the corner and get a complete face done. its often cheaper to travel to the country, get that done four or five times, then fly back than it is to even do it once domestically in some countries. *Friendly reminder: I am not a doctor Expo70 fucked around with this message at 22:51 on Jun 22, 2023 |
