I was wearing a sports bra that gave me more of a distinct shape for passing reasons in the beginning. But after more than a year and a half on hormones, I'm starting to have pretty distinct breasts.

I have some women around me that have pretty strong opinions about not wearing bras. And I understand. Sometimes me or the people I know get weird looks in the street because some people can see that we're not wearing bras and there are clothes and... I don't think this should be our problem. It sounds like it's a problem on the people looking at us, not on us. They're just tits, get over it.

That being said, I don't really have that much of a strong opinion about it, and to be completely honest, I'm not really sure what's the point of a bra for me? I feel like they're too small to justify wearing a bra? I'm actually not sure of when I should start, or even if I should start at all...

It's strange, nobody taught me these things. My body is changing and morphing and well, nobody really taught me or prepared me for any of what's happening to me, I'm kind of like left to fend off on my own and I'm relying on my other women's friend, whether they're cis or trans, but some questions I'm a bit too scared of asking. Or ashamed.

On one hand, I feel like it's basic stuff that I should already know that on the other hand... well, it doesn't feel basic at all. :/

The thing is, it's not ironic at all. This is just "AI" hype! That's what this article is. It's "AI" hype written by an "AI." God, I hate this. Fuck you Gizmodo.

Honestly fits the insanely and bizarrely beloved criteria to me, personally. I'm sorry people, but I really don't get it.

My second guess would have been someone, like, Gabe Newell. And, uh, if it's the person, yeah, I wouldn't say it, too. Like, that would attract the ire of Gamers™, and honestly, fuck 'em. But I don't want to have to deal with him.

~~tell us you coward!~~ if we guess correctly, would you tell us? I really want to know! :3

Oh, fuck it's a woman, I'm sorry, my misandry (/misogyny) got the best of me I guess. Not proud of that. :|

I guess that's what I get for reacting to the headline without reading the fucking article, don't I? Trying to be better at that. I just reacted quickly because like, at this point, I've read so many of these.

I don't even know if I can bear to read another one of these people just getting exactly what they voted for and being shocked by it. It's infuriating when I know that it fucked the lives of so many people who tried to warn them, but they didn't listen.

Must be difficult for your son to have such a dickhead as a mother. You voted to fuck over immigrants, to fuck over black people, to fuck over trans people, and now, you're surprised they also want to fuck over the one minority you care about...

I'm sorry, were you too busy being excited hearing about the deportations and the "two gender" bullshit to hear the part that actually affected your own selfish interests? Wanted to fuck over everyone else but those you care about and now you're big sad and feeling betrayed?

Aww, my poor, poor conservative learning the same god damn lesson every time you get what you think you want but never learning from it, must be hard for you, now you're gonna have to deal with the misery you wished upon everyone but you...

I hope your son gets the help he is OWED, but you're the one that treated it as a privilege to take away. He got what you wanted. It wasn't a fucking asterisk at the end of the contract written in 2pt, it was written in giant fucking neons.

Your son deserves all the help he can get, dignity is owed to everyone. Let's start with a better mother.

That's the most United States of America headline I have ever fucking read. Oh my god.

[–] purplerabbit@piefed.blahaj.zone 55 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What the fuck are they doing? I feel like Europe is constantly talking about how they are worried about the influence of the US and the big American companies and how they want to be more independent. And then every now and then they pull shit like this....

Ah, classic. Using he/him or she/her on trans people who use they/them, and they/them on trans people who use she/her or he/him...

I didn't have the language for it, but I knew something was wrong with me and the way I felt in my body and in society as soon as I was six or seven years old. Had I been given the right language to express it back then, I would have known right away, but I guess it wouldn't have been better because, well, there's nothing I would have been able to do about it. I didn't know I was a girl. I just knew I desperately wanted to be one. But I could never say that to anyone.

Still, though, I consider myself a trans kid nonetheless, just because I came out later, in my adult life, doesn't mean that I wasn't. I pretty much knew what I was, there was just no tolerance nor space for me to be it. And, uh, honestly? I deserved better. Much better. Instead, I'll be spending the rest of my life dealing with the consequences of all of this...

If I remember correctly, I had joined at a similar time. Not this account though, this one is fairly new. But I ended up going for Blahaj Zone and Beehaw. I went back and forth between the two, but in the end I think both of these were the right choice. The biggest issue I have with the latter is... It's missing some pretty big federation, like Lemmy.World notably, and that's kind of an issue for me. It makes the "all" timeline really quiet and kind of dull.

In the end, I think Blahaj is my home for many reasons, but I do remember Beehaw being quite recommended back then. It's a great community and I really do enjoy their principles, in terms of rules and everything. When I was looking for what community to join, and people talking about it on Reddit, there was a bunch of, it doesn't really matter, which is bullshit, it actually really does matter, in my opinion, but, uh, yeah. Beehaw came up enough for me to go there on my first account.

As for the drama, I have missed out on all of it. Like, people are talking about Hexbear, I have no idea what happened with that. In terms of drama, all I personally remember was the kind of like big panic over the threadiverse because of the mass influx from Reddit users, which I am on one of but that's pretty much it. That being said, I personally do remember that most people had already some kind of apprehension towards Lemmy.ml. At least in my corner. Lemmygrad I've only learned of recently.

One doesn't need to replace the other.:)

The big problem with matchmaking is that in the long run, it kills game. When people start to move on to a new thing, the population that stays because they're attached to the game gets fucked over by matchmaking.

The less people they are, the worse it works. That's when a server browser and the ability to run community server becomes crucial. It will keep a game alive for a decade after its last update.
