I had to change my name again with my bank to get the system to process correctly. I used my PhD suffix as the change

It’s as bad as Apple and the fact the email you used to make your Apple ID originally exists in perpetuity in their system and you have to be locked out of your Apple ID for like 48 hours to have it fixed.

And like I’m a programmer. This is because some dipshit used the social security number as unique identifier and assumed first names never changed.

So I had Cigna at one point back in my college years decades ago . My new employer, who has never had my deadname, uses Cigna. All good. Yay free to be quiet about being trans.

Now some Cigna system is emailing me under my dead name for every claim. It’s like nails on a chalkboard.

I can’t bring myself to hit “like” for this post. I am so so sorry.

We need a John Sheridan but got Chuck Schumer.

I’ve looked at their curriculum and some videos and I’ve been curious but also wary after so many previous failures. But a plug in their favor helps.

For voice training I have tried working with:

- An SLP
- a musically trained trans woman known for her YouTube lessons (Zheanna)
- An SLP / musically trained coach
- Yet another coach

This since before I started HRT (so over five years). All for no results. Any advice? I am desperate.

I’d had nearly a year of no misgenderings only to have someone misgender me on Christmas and then a phone call that started Ms. and ended with Mr. I’m incompetent at voice training and just like you ordered a woman from Temu.

Like why am I trying? It’s pointless.

To be trans is to work ten times as hard for a womanhood that will always be second best.

It’s been nearly a year since I was misgendered in public. Today getting bowling shoes I just said my size was a 10.

“Men or women’s?”

Dammit.

The world is burning but I also can’t style my hair or work a curling iron and I am so done.

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

In honor of the State Department quashing Calibri because it is woke, I would like to make an argument in favor of an alternative via its best advocacy piece.

This worst part about this drivel is that he’s complaining about the uni admin’s minor concessions to demands to rename W&L to honor a non-traitor.

Like screaming about the tiniest concession.

The question is whether his excuses can cut it or not.

The story of this week is that millions of Americans were told in 2024 their lives would be improved if trans people's lives were made worse and I'm glad they're finally waking up to the fact that was never true to begin with--but trans people's lives are still getting worse

SCOTUS Rules Against Trans People's Passport Gender Markers In Shadow Docket Ruling The administration has previously indicated it could revoke some trans people's passports if it got this ruling.

1. In a major shadow docket ruling from the Supreme Court, the court has ruled against trans people's passports, giving a stay to the Trump administration.

The admin has previously indicated it intend to revoke some passports if it got this ruling.

I have watched as so-called "compromise" positions on transgender people's rights have failed over and over--in statehouses, the Biden White House, and in liberal rhetoric. There is no middle ground acceptable to the politicians, activists, and billionaires obsessed with trans people and our lives.

a trans girl in vermont was kicked off her swimming team and committed suicide and at the very same time, the discourse in d.c. today is about whether the democratic party should’ve abandoned her sooner in order to win votes

I HAVE CHANGED THE SEXUAL CHARACTERISTICS. PRAY I DO NOT CHANGE THEM ANY FURTHER

the media has made a huge deal about Neutrality and Not Editorializing and it all falls apart when you realize they are too afraid to publish a factual description of the video Trump posted

no matter how much we yell they'll never ban trump administration accounts, which are connected directly to some of the most provably hateful people

Link got banned and those accounts got verified
