Reading circle time!
I've read a few things that were recommended here that I'd like to talk about.
First, is "Us" by Sara Soler recommended by @ashinadash@hexbear.net
synopsis and thoughts
"Us" is a biographical graphic novel written from the perspective of Sara Soler as her wife, Alex, comes out to her as a trans woman. Most of the story covers Alex's transition. The graphic novel covers some of the obstacles of transition, but it's an overwhelmingly positive and loving work. The art is also super cute and colorful.
I'm so glad that it was recommended because this is like, MY story. A lot of the very specific details of Alex and Sara really line up with my wife and me beyond the general trans experience. When my friends ask what I'm going through and how I feel, I'll definitely recommend this graphic novel to them.
For people who have been trans for a while, I think that everything in the book is pretty well-trodden territory. The book is largely didactic insofar as it's really meant to be explanatory about queerness in general both for cis people and queer people. So, you might not find it terribly intriguing. However, if you want to read something sweet and affirming, it might just remind you of the excitement of those early years and the people around you who you found to love and support you. .
The next one is a manga called "She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat" which was recommended by @Cromalin@hexbear.net
synopsis and thoughts
The manga follows Nomoto and Kasuga, two adult women who live on their own in the same apartment building. Nomoto is a food instagrammer who posts pictures of the food she cooks; however, she's not a big eater. She dreams of cooking more, but she has nobody to feed. One day, she meets Kasuga as she's heading home only to find that Kasuga has a voracious appetite. Nomoto eventually works up the courage to ask Kasuga to eat with her. Over the course of the story, the two women share meals together as their friendship grows... Perhaps into something more?
I was really surprised by this manga. I typically don't like slice of life stories, but I'm realizing that I actually just don't like school stories because, unsurprisingly, I don't relate to them at all. Reading a story about two grown women with 9-5 jobs just being nice to each other is honestly just good for the soul. I find myself really rooting for the two of them. I'm starting the 4th volume now, and I definitely recommend it if you want to read something light and chill

Our megathread numbers have been dropping.
Could someone phone Soros and tell him to increase the hormones in the water supply?
My social credit score has me locked out until I post 1000 pro-Putin comments.
I think that's been due in part to the disruption of our time in the sitewide stickies. Or it could be something else. I couldn't really tell you. Though I have seen a decent reduction in unique participants.

Discussion of transphobic phenomenon
"Sex realist" is an interesting phrase. So-called "sex realists" call themselves that because they think they're acknowledging that sex is "real," right? But it reminds me of two other "realisms" - race realism and capitalist realism. Sex "realism" like race "realism" takes a couple actually existing traits about a given population like skin color or secondary sex characteristics, and runs wild with that, over-generalizing to the extreme and claiming bullshit about IQ, emotional disposition, etc. in order to prop up their fascist ideology. As for capitalist realism, well, it's quite apparent that for the "sex realists," it is easier for them to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of sex. Sex realists indeed...
if sex is so real then how come i never had it before

i have got to actually work on transing my gender instead of just being sad about it
question: what's a 100% cis man reason to shave off all my arm hair? i want to do it but if I do, my coworkers will likely notice and I'd like to have a prepared answer for that
You burned off some of your arm hair when messing with fire in some way and wanted everything to look even, so you shaved it.
The one time this actually happened to me. Use your arm to show someone that waxing doesn't hurt and then proceed to shave the rest because fuck it.
Or just say that you did it on a whim because your friend did it and you wondered what it was like.
You're a swimmer.
That's the best I have.
Wear sleeves? Or shrug?

why do i keep getting so scared and nervous even just watching trans voice lessons on youtube? forget following along, i can't even get myself to simply watch the videos, what the hell?
It's hard, and it's something you need to practice a lot over time. In general learning new skills is difficult to maintain. Especially if you're not interested in the mechanics of voice and sound, it can be a slog.
Unlike doing HRT or hair removal, which we can just do and move on, voice training is something we feel we can fail at. So there's the added anxiety of "I can't do this" or "I'm fucking up so much" or "this isn't actually me" or "this feels like a fake cartoon voice".
It's a looooong process. Trans voice lessons said that your new voice becomes natural when you use it on accident at least 50% of the time. I can't even maintain it for an evening while trying, let alone doing it on accident lol.
All of these factors lead it to be anxiety inducing, imo.
HOWEVER, it's also one of the things you can pretty much practice anywhere, and it's free, so it's a lot more accessible than other things. Also, it's got me interested in singing, and I'm loving it.
Yeah, I'm struggling so hard with just getting properly started myself. I've spent the past three weeks doing some daily vocal exercises, then I found out a few days ago that they're pretty much useless and based on incorrect information, so now I'm back to square one :(
I'm considering just paying for a few lessons with a voice coach, I don't think I'm able to do this on my own
It's terrifying and dysphoria inducing. Every person I know that attempted to voice train from these videos was terrified in some manner at some point, so don't feel bad. I know it was difficult for myself as well.

stardew night on the trans server 
I dont feel comfortable going outside w/o concealing my beard shadow and that requires very close shaves plus makeup, with audhd and sensitive skin, this saps my entire energy for the morning, i hate it and my insurance refuses hair removal without therapist sessions which i cant get bc the ones that arent hitler have their place overrun
talking about my tits again
my nipples have now gotten so sore that i had to put on a bralette under my work shirt today. fortunately it's extremely well hidden, completely invisible underneath :)))
ネタバレ
I'm so glad I missed this. The pain that those around me had to deal with seemed unbearable at times. Like, don't get me wrong, my tits hurt and have constantly for like a year and a half now, but never to this extent. Mind you that could be explained by the fact that I've had breasts since I was like 13 years old, so I never had to go through those early stages of development.
Hopefully you've got a good stock of bralettes. That pain doesn't subside for a while if my mousy wife is anyone to go by.

The mirror has become an interesting place for me this last year
Tried out tightlining recently, and I love how it makes my eyelashes appear fuller. Nice to finally have some makeup that doesn't take too much time or effort
