we’re at the point in the summer where i super don’t care about gender expression because i’m riding a bike in 90 degree heat all day but it turns out i look really cute in daisy dukes so that’s not bad. i present femme best in winter and fall because i’m a sweat elemental and i don’t feel cute when i’m aggressively dripping just sitting in the shade.

i found a really cute dress that’s bike friendly i’m dying to wear out but its awful weather for it

Same, I made a dress this spring but it's 3/4 sleeves knit with dk weight yarn so I can't wear it comfortably until it's way colder

It's got cables and everything summer is awful

skirt guard over the back wheel and chain guard over the chain is the usual setup, using an internally geared hub because a chain guard is incompatible with derailer gearing.

Ugh. A girl emailed the trans mailing list at work to share a distressing interview from a local npr show where the interviewer let a transphobic "activist" rail against trans people for 2 hours unchallenged. This lady even said things like transgender parents are more likely to rape their children.

The girls email suggested we contact the station to voice our anger that the interviewer didn't challenge this lady at all.

Immediately a bunch of "allies" jumped in to say how they're uncomfortable "shutting down opposing viewpoints" and how shouting down bigots makes us just as bad as them.

gently caress allies. As always, they will never see past their own interests when you are being harmed. I hate that there's no trans only group at work so you have to endure poo poo like this to be able to talk to other trans people at work.

smoka, i literally didnt kick you out until you started getting antagonistic for no reason in multiple threads. idgaf if you post in here but not when your only goal is to pick fights.

ppl accuse me of using yospos as a blog or something but if i go off on a personal anecdote it's nearly always related to the topic at hand. i make plenty of posts that arent about me but a certain sort of person just doesn't notice them. i don't want this thread to be about me, i want it to be about queer yosposters talking about whatever they want that isn't harmful to other queer yosposters. if you can post by that guideline (dont tear down other posters for no reason) youre welcome back in.

stick the front under one of your leg and done. if it’s a long/maxi dress you’re hosed unless it’s snug.

do you have any issues with finding good sizes secondhand? i know a few girls who are trying to make over their wardrobes on a budget but it's pretty emotionally taxing for them to go into a store and find nothing that fits.

I always go to second hand stores. you might find something cool and nobody will gently caress with you if you want to try things on

The couple of peeps I'm thinking of are in particular anxious about second hand stores because they feel conspicuous if they don't buy anything and you're banking on equally tall women having donated stuff. It's one of those early transition anxieties lots of us go through.
