Hello lovelies, I am a (trans)Woman who is still in the process of discovering herself!
I have been working up the courage to be who I am for so long, I am excited to be figuring things out.
Pre-HRT, pre-fashion-sense, and pre-confidence.
Any and all tips and advice from more experienced women are welcome!

You’re an idiot because you, personally, have not done something you wouldn’t get close to doing thanks to personal security?

Or from management’s perspective “goddamn it more time wasted removing these googly eyes!”
I once was a googly-eye-bomber at work, and the store manager called the district manager about it and we had a store-wide meeting to try and figure out who was doing it. Kept going on about wasting company time and (hilariously) “wage theft”
Everyone except the managers loved the googly eyes on things and thought it was hilarious when large ones went up on a poster covering the back wall. Usually it was just mannequins or equipment that vaguely looked like faces

I’ve never understood the stereotype that Americans idolize a bunch of old white guys from the 1700s.
Most people I know don’t give a single shit about them, and the ones that do are very vocal about their dislike of them.
It’s pretty widely accepted that they were all garbage human beings by today’s standards.
If you mean Republicans idolizing them but only in specific circumstances that support bigoted worldviews, then sure.

Please explain the racism part.
No really, if it’s racist, I don’t want to further racism, and would like to know how it’s racist.

I meant the shrinkage from hrt lol but from personal experience the feeling of hrt shrinkage has been about what it felt like on cold days, minus y’know the cold feeling.
That said, I think every testicular possessor knows that feeling when you pull out a pair of undies on a winter morning and the cold fabric pushes against them and you flinch in response. It’s not quite pain, but all your torso muscles contracting in reflex might be painful.
Cold shrinkage, in my opinion, isn’t painful.
Don’t worry about being offensive, I genuinely can’t think of how you could have been offensive with that comment.

There are many factors that determine behavior, but this seems like it’s more specific to certain age/socioeconomic ranges and probably more regional.
Just a preface to say: I’ve met plenty, grew up with some, and see a couple every day walking around with their hand in their pants, clearly just caressing their junk.
People are weird

If it shrinking hurt, I and many other women like me would be in trouble lmao

“Okay I know ICE has been executing people publicly and it’s been on video, but that doesn’t mean immigration control in the US is getting more extreme.”
“okay I know Russian military assets are building up along the Ukranian border and they’re getting tons of aircraft ready and moving troops and armor across the country, but that doesn’t inherently mean they’re going to start something.”
“okay I know that bridge is actively in the process of crumbling and a chunk the size of a bus just crushed my car, but that doesn’t inherently mean it’s not safe to drive on”

I will pet your cat on my own terms, it needs to learn to respect my boundaries.
I do like cats, I just don’t like when cats get up close to me and decide I need to see their butt holes, rub their bodies all over my arms and legs, and try to sit on me.
If a cat walks by and wants to accept some pets, I’m happy to pet them.
- Comment on What can I put on a street lamp to stop the light in one direction? 4 weeks ago:
The duality of lemmy:
“I am SHOCKED someone would ILLEGALLY MODIFY something that ISN’T THEIRS!”
Vs
“lol firebomb time”
Legit, if you’d rather put in work to modify a street light and risk the consequences instead of putting up curtains, use old cardboard boxes cut in such a way that it drapes a long side over your house’s direction, but not long enough to impede light on sidewalks.
Less work, less cost, less chance of being arrested.
I do understand not wanting to have to use blackout curtains, as I like looking outside.
Personally I use a 100w led spotlight I made, and point it at the street light for a minute or so if I want it off. Works for a few minutes, at least.

And if you got to week 9 and it’s almost week 10, would you not be mildly upset about it?
I remember slow shipping and was usually upset if my “6-8 week” took the full 8 weeks.
- Comment on As I don't say I will kill the president, can I at least allude to threatening? Like the 86 47 guy? 1 month ago:
My first memory of “86"was from the princess diaries when Mia asks” can we 86 the flags", referring to the country-of-origin flags on diplomats cars.
I’ve never understood how someone can twist “86 47” to mean to kill.
If you hear someone say “remove that man” and think “these people want me dead” the you’re clearly not of rational mind, and are paranoid.

To me it’s the fact they all look like children trying to feel like big boys in their dad’s too-large clothes (which is fitting (pun intended) since at least those medals are inherited, not for things they themselves have done)

- Comment on If You Rented a Car or Bought Weed Recently, Your License Is Likely for Sale on the Dark Web. Protect Your Identity Now 2 months ago:
Having been to quite a few week shops across Michigan and Ohio, you’d just be unable to buy weed, and once you’ve refused and made a mild scene, they’re calling all the weed shops in the area with your description to tell them you’re acting suspicious.
While I’m not a fan of the practice, it’s basically impossible to buy from a dispensary in many places without them wanting to scan your ID. Especially if your state has limits on how much you can buy per month.

Honestly I just grab any locks I find while out (like if I find one on the side of the road) and occasionally when I see a cheap-but-not-masterlock I contemplate buying it for shits and giggles.
For a starter lock, I have several master locks that range from the cheap “smack it to open” to actual security pins, but I always want them to be easy to pick so I can introduce people without overwhelming them.
My favorite is one that I… appropriated from a previous job (accidentally took it home and forgot about it) it’s a security lock shaped like a circle to keep people away from the shackle with security pins AND can false set. It’s the “oh so you think you’re hot shit because you got 3 locks open?” lock. I’ll have to dig through some moving boxes to find the brand
- Comment on Park benches don't "open" until 10am 2 months ago:
A stiff breeze could do it, but you can also just hit it with a rock if it doesn’t pop open from a stern glance.
I had a shitty 40mm masterlock on my locker in middle school and I wouldn’t even bother with a key, if just yank hard on it once or twice and the jostling was enough to pop it free.

- Comment on Park benches don't "open" until 10am 2 months ago:
I’m well aware, and unfortunately I am in one of those states. If they ever decide to search me and my purse, they’ll find it.
Mere possession is considered proof of criminal intent. But I also always have a clear acrylic lock and easy padlock to show interested people how to pick a lock. It’s fun and cheap as a hobby. So if I ever do get caught, at least I can make the argument of it being a hobby more convincing. I don’t really expect to get off easy because of that, but if I’m ever caught and searched by cops, having a set of lock picks will probably not be my biggest concern.
- Comment on Park benches don't "open" until 10am 2 months ago:
“the homeless” are always used as the excuse for stuff like this, but (as you are an example of) plenty of people “rough sleep” without being homeless. I’ve never slept on a bench, but I’ve spent a few nights in state parks with a hammock due to not wanting to be around my family for varying reasons. Once because I was supposed to be sleeping at a friend’s house but went to a party and decided fuck this imma leave.
It’s funny you mention reading because I’ve actually been harassed by cops for “loitering” in the park when I was sitting in my car reading.
