told the story before about how I only got any of the many low-level admin jobs I applied for once I stopped being honest about being trans
I just didnβt say it and let them assume I was a cis girl, then just "forgot" to present my ID to HR until they forgot about it
boom: respectable university job
public-facing, too. not something they let trannies do if they can avoid it
the thing that gets me is that I was going for charity and public sector shit, like these are supposed to be the good guys
but I could see the transmisogyny manifest like a fucking aura when it came up
the other method ofc was to sign up with a temp agency, because then you just get placed
and you can temp to perm with people who have to let you work at least one day, even if they know youβre a tranny. and if youβre friendly and competent and normal, congrats, you can push through the latent TME tranny hate
on employment as a trans woman

NHS closed Tavistock over care complaints β there were only eight
An eye-opening FOI report has revealed that just eight people complained about the Tavistock gender clinic's care provision in 10 years.
The entire British media fabricated a "scandal" at Tavistock and there were only 8 complaints over an entire decade. Yet the most actual common issues were about access to care and waiting lists.

An ad for Crystal Dynamics, featuring Gex, front and center. It promises "multiple games, multiple platforms, multiple orgasms."
Okay I buried the lede here. In the 1995 E3 Show Daily, Crystal Dynamics ran an ad that promised, in no uncertain terms, that playing Gex would give you "multiple orgasms"
They ran this ad at a professional event

In terms of losing weight, it isnβt something that happens on particular parts of the body based on what exercise youβre doing. If you want to lose weight just think of it in general terms.

Gym isnβt necessary. Weight loss is mostly diet, not exercise. Just cut down on calories and go for a long walk each day. Put music or audiobooks on and walk a circuit of a few miles. The weight just falls off. Save your money on the gym membership, seriously.

I already have changes, but the way is tough. I am glad I was able to get HRT privately at least. With the NHS waiting lists being years long, it was just impossible for me to wait. I already waited so long⦠I just want to get on with it. Thank you for your support, kindness and encouragement.

I am so happy for you. And I know exactly how you felt. I am proud and unashamed, but I still have a long way to go. I waited much longer than you did to come out, and it has been tough. But I hope that one day Iβll be closer to where you are with the progress youβve made. #TransAndProud

Iβm 35 and only came out last year; six months out and only three on hormones. Somehow I repressed everything for decades. I donβt pass very well yet.

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

I started to write music as a form of therapy, when I noticed it was helping me heal, I thought it could help others too. Many of my songs deal with identity and empowerment, or about my own pain of gender dysphoria, my hopes and dreams.
