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.

I was gonna apologise for posting devine in this thread but it looks like you just want to talk about yourself

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.

of course they're conspicuous, that's why they're at a second hand store, you dig?

I got most of my initial transition advice from other goons and friends through my work's resource group, and the secondhand stores where I lived at the time were known to be transphobic because they were all christian run.

Your perspective is actually really valuable here. I can't imagine going through transition back when I was working 5 jobs and still having to shoplift lunch to make ends meet. it's impressive that you're doing it anyway.

it;s impossible for me to transition, but I like hoodies and skirts tbh

one of my co-workers just transferred to another office and I'm writing a "hey it's been great to have you on the team, sorry to see you go." email. Would it be weird to point her to yospos / this thread? She started transitioning a year or so ago and I feel like this is a pretty welcoming forum for trans people in tech + I've learned plenty here. In the past i def wouldn't because then they could see my bad posting, but now we're on different teams so it doesn't matter.

keep the internet as far away from your personal and professional life as you possibly can

the best part of being trans is hiding it constantly for fear of getting assaulted for not passing, and also the substance abuse

there’s still a lot you can do, and never is too late, but you’re young enough that you won’t need to worry about possible age related health issues with transitioning (if you were to). I know you have long hair - with hrt you’d get to keep it, and stop further masculinization. you can even trial this stuff, and not need to present outwardly one way or another if you don’t feel up to it. then maybe one day it gets easier and people see you how you feel, or at least you feel a bit less incongruous. before any of that it’s probably a good idea to talk to someone

it looks like a specialized clinic (Gender Health Program) in Edmonton opens in February. hopefully you can find accessible or sliding scale resources

you're telling me everything I already know and I'm sorry I brought it up in the first fuckin place
