also hello thread I am a cis male who's been part of various aspects of the queer-alphabet-soup community (mostly through having a bunch of trans friends) for most of his life. I just wanted to drop in to say you are all cool and good people.

Anyone have a short braindump of trans info for Alaskans? Friend of mine lives up there and has pretty much no resources at her disposal. :( Anything helps

Same. I didn't move super far away but there's a large enough body of water between my old home and my new home that I can't just say "gently caress it imma drive an hour and see my friends"

At least in tyool 2018 we have the magic of the internet so we can all still hang out in Discord and stuff but it seriously fuckin sucks that I have no one to go to the pub with or even just chill and watch a movie or something. And there's no meeting people through extended social circles. I haven't been on a date in like two years. :(

Oh right I mentioned a while back in this thread one of my best friends was going through some rough times wrt trans resources in Alaska. Good news, she and a close friend are both gtfoing that mess and moving! Admittedly they're moving to Utah but apparently Utah has actual anti-discrimination laws that cover trans people and I mean the mormon faith is extremely not my poo poo but I can honestly say most mormons I've met are friendly enough folks.

Things are looking okay after all for her and I'm really happy about that :unsmith:

That kind of thing always worries me and I'm not sure if I'm seriously in much of a position to lose but I know a lot of people who are and who have so I try to steer clear of touching the poop.

YOSPOS isn't currently behind the paywall which honestly surprises me. I thought more of the good forums would be paywalled what with the taxman being broke as gently caress these days

similarly, I haven't been to a therapist since I was a kid, and that was for anxiety attacks. I've been having weird thoughts about gender and stuff like that for years but never really thought much about therapy for it because I haven't really felt it impacting my day to day life much?

it just kind of feels like one of those recurring side thoughts more than anything and it kind of makes me wonder if it's something I think about because two of my best friends are trans or if there's something rooted deeper in my head going on.

I try to avoid the whole "is below-average libido part of the greater queerness spectrum" mostly because I don't even know where I myself fall into the regex. Like I've been thinking about it on and off for years (including several "am I trans?" moments which ended up being "lol I still don't have a fuckin clue") and while piling a whole series of descriptors together to explain my personal state of gender and sexuality would take a good couple lines to fully express I also don't feel really comfortable just saying I'm queer I guess. It also totally depends on who I'm talking to, like, my best friends are all variously part of the regex so it's just a big pile of fabulous. But to the outside world I'm just a cis white dude who likes girls and has dated a boy or two in his time and I don't feel personally constrained by that. So I don't know if that "qualifies" me so to speak to have input in discussions about queerness and what is/is not queer.

Gender and sexuality are hard. It'd be nice if everyone was as cool and good as yospos.

e: I need to post here more often. y'all are awesome

Hi y'all! A friend of mine is moving to outer LA as part of escaping the backwards hellstate she lives in and is hoping to find an endo so she can stop self-medicating and get titty skittles the right way. does anyone here have any good resources I can pass on to her for that?

i'm really dumb atm but what's the gender neutral alternative to "sir"/"miss"

(actually I'm not 100% sure myself and am curious to know)

also I'm thinking of posting more in this thread because I'm starting to figure out my own gender kerfuffle but I'm wondering if maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to change my username to something that isn't known to be me everywhere, at least to maintain some kind of low-effort illusion of safety. I'm not out to really anyone so a thin veil of anonymity wouldn't be a horrible thing to maintain I guess. is this just paranoid or a decent idea?

OldAlias posted:

ok so it is a thing, but depending on your doctor they might not be comfortable with it and require you to go through the hoops, of going to a therapist so they can write you a letter that you can take to an endo. if you don’t have a doctor ATM, then you can look for someone who’s comfortable with it. the city you’re in will factor into what’s available too and ofc

oof. I don't know much about this kind of thing (being new to all of this is seriously terrifying) so I guess I need to figure out if the recommended doctors/clinics in vancouver will take me or being on the outskirts of the area will force me to go to friggin chilliwack or something like that. thanks for the info, I'll see if I can find a doc to help start the process

sadly none that I know of at this point. ontario is a shitstack of a province right now and will be until ford either keels over or gets voted out (and lol at that happening considering the voting pool is so loving broken there that they voted him in to begin with).

basically, if you're trans and in ontario, go literally anywhere else. gently caress, even alberta is less dangerous right now, and they just voted in the "ford nation? hold my beer" party.

pride parade is here this weekend and while I really want to go (never been to one, always wanted to) I don't know if I really... fit in? like internally I've been battling the genderfeels for a couple years but externally I just present as a cis-enough pansexual guy for various reasons and I feel like my going would be a waste of time. like I feel as if my presence would be a case of, oh look another long haired bearded white guy, good job going to pride you absolute muppet.

am I way off base here? I'm incredibly new at this whole "being publicly not-cishet" thing.

maybe I should find a therapist instead of going to pride lol
