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!

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? 1 week 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? 3 weeks 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.

I wish my family would be this chill about it.
It’s gonna be an interesting day when they eventually figure it out.

- Comment on Heh Heh Good Job Boys 5 weeks ago:
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)

In fairness, that’s not far off from reality.
- 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 1 month 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.

- Comment on Park benches don't "open" until 10am 1 month ago:
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 1 month 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.

The blood would act as lube soon enough.
- Comment on Park benches don't "open" until 10am 1 month 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 1 month 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.
- Comment on Park benches don't "open" until 10am 1 month ago:
I never considered this before, but now I’m glad I carry lock picks with me everywhere. That shitty padlock would take 10 seconds and I’d be on my way with a new beginner practice lock.
Fuck hostile architecture, fuck anywhere that makes an already shitty situation worse by telling the homeless “we don’t view you as people, go die somewhere else”

If mocking religions alienates me from the people who are pushing their beliefs, I welcome it.
- Comment on Why are there so many shit posts about beans? 1 month ago:
I kind of enjoy the crossovers, since they’re usually something off-the-wall and I like absurdist humor.
But yeah the “beans in everything” and “here’s corn” ones are pretty low effort. That’s not to say they never get a chuckle, I just usually don’t care for them.
Maybe I just haven’t seen mothposting enough to be tired of it.
- Comment on Food served to US service men & women. 1 month ago:
As a former enlisted who thankfully got medical’d out of the service very early, the ONLY thing I find mildly infuriating 8s that it looks like my old school lunches.
Why do they deserve to get better food than our children?
Anyone still in can kiss my ass. Most enlisted joined within the last 10 years where it’s been a ShitShow since Trump1.0. I joined when I thought Obama was going to be different, but am glad I got out not long after it became clear how much he loves drone strikes. I would have just gone awol when trump showed up.
Modern military deserves the food we give to homeless people. Once we improve the lives of those who have it worst, we can think about getting them better food.

You don’t have self-control when you start using them.
When you’ve seen an otherwise rational, smart adult ruin their entire family and steal from their own children in order to get a fix after “just trying it once”, you understand all the self control in the world won’t be enough.
