Hi everybody!

I'd originally planned on having a big effort post, but I've had some Bad Brain^TM^ the last couple weeks so that'll just have to wait until next time.

In the meantime, it's my 2 year HRT Anniversary! These past couple years have also been the first time I've really been in community with other trans folx; I've had so many breakthroughs and discoveries of myself that I don't think would have been possible without that and I can't be thankful enough.

I hope everybody has a lovely week!

My obsession with making a DIY computing device continues, and I finally went ahead and ordered a display and an assortment of buttons to test for the keyboard. I ordered an hdmi adapter board to help test the display, but I still need to figure out how to convert the display 30-pin mipi dsi display ribbon to 22-pin raspberry pi, and it seems I might be able to just route the signals correctly instead of having to do anything fancy with additional chips? Aside from maybe a display driver on the pi side. I’m new to this stuff and really don’t know, however, so I guess I won’t know what I’m missing until I actually try it out.

This device would also have a cool sliding screen that slides up and reveals a physical keyboard, similar to some blackberry or sidekick style phones in the 2000s. I anticipate this being a major hurdle, along with the display and figuring out a carrier board, but I do have an idea now of how I might do this. I just need to start modeling it up and then get some cheap hardware like shafts and springs.

reddit warned me for anti-British posting so I'm stopping by to say death to the British, may transgender missiles rain down on them anti-thatcher-action

[–] SwitchyandWitchy@hexbear.net 2 points 2 hours ago

we wanna talk to people more but it's been hard to think of what to say the past couple days.

[–] segfault11@hexbear.net 7 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

stress wtf is going on with DIY suppliers, many of the big ones seem to have gone down in the last few weeks. i hear chud news sources got the spotlight on them recently? i have enough to last maybe a couple more years but this is concerning

if it comes to having to buy from darkweb suppliers that only sell on TOR markets ig i know enough to navigate that, but what's happening rn is concerning

[–] OffSeasonPrincess@hexbear.net 2 points 22 minutes ago

Rly bad luck deciding to get diy right when this shit started happening agony-wholesome (everything ive ordered should still be on the way, but its taking way longer than normal)

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 6 points 4 hours ago

Its very concerning, especially with attacks on adult care on the horizon. I don't even care about having to buy on TOR and shit, but will there even be those?

Yea I'm super thankful to have gotten a bit more in. Not sure if I should try and get raws in too or what.

[–] Ceres@hexbear.net 3 points 4 hours ago

diyhrt dot info and diyhrt dot market are good backup resources

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 10 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Damn I really want to get out and maybe hopefully get a partner. Hopefully this time next year.

[–] SwitchyandWitchy@hexbear.net 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Yes do it!!! It took some time to feel comfortable going out to social events and stuff, but now it's just normal. And we've been starting to build up contacts and have people to go do stuff with spontaneously which feels amazing XD

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

oh oof I see how I said that now. I was mostly meaning moving out on my own. But yea I mean where else am I going to meet a partner. Social events and stuff does seem scary.

[–] SwitchyandWitchy@hexbear.net 4 points 2 hours ago

Well we hope that works out too. Getting into a supportive environment does wonders.

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I wonder if anyone will even have me tbh. Unattractive, autistic, I don't come across that depressed irl but I know in a relationship that'd be a barrier too. Want someone really bad but never have had someone. Trans woman into women.

Idk I just want someone real bad. And to be out in my own place.

[–] SwitchyandWitchy@hexbear.net 4 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

No, uh uh. None of that. The only thing you brought up that's actually unattractive is that you think you're unattractive. Even then that'll attract some people but I don't trust those that seek out people with low self esteem unless it's out of shared experience.

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

I am unattractive though, worse because I'm looking for someone who's into women. I am not an attractive woman.

Being autistic makes it harder to get into a relationship, it just will. I've been flirted with once and kinda freaked out. It makes all social stuff a struggle, new social stuff more so. Being trans and wlw removes a lot of people from wanting to date me. Plus never having been in a relationship before will probably also hurt me. I fear a lot of people don't want that. I hear a lot of people saying they want someone with experience and who knows how to be in a relationship. And it makes it harder for me, not having that experience.

Depression and my general dissatisfaction with life probably wouldn't be an issue at first but I do worry about it long term in a relationship. Same with my sex issues. idk I feel like a lot of things are stacked against me getting a partner :/ very sad bc I really want someone.

[–] Ceres@hexbear.net 7 points 5 hours ago

one upside of the too-tight sports bras I have (see previous mega comment) is that its both soooo nice to take off at the end of the day and then also a lil euphoric to recognize that relatable experience

Up with trans!

HAPPY 2 YEAR HRT ANNIVERSARY!!

I am going to complain here that, that, so much mental health related groups are so extremely and intensely liberal. I really love to talk with others who are also plurals who may or may not have DID/OSDD and such but gosh I really can’t deal with the awful politics anymore 😵💔 I need a communist plural server like YESTERDAY! UGH AAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Also just to complain I have been dissociating so much it is impacting my studies AGAIN <:(

but on a positive note i am learning and trying weh

[–] RION@hexbear.net 5 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Having impure thoughts about a friend (⁠*⁠﹏⁠*⁠;⁠) she left a nice note for me on my desk but I don't see her until Thursday...

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 6 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Kind of need to rant, but being stuck in my parents means having to hear Bll Mher.

(CW: discussion of transphobia)Transphobia gets a textbook opposition with “the enemy is too strong and too weak”. Because Americans think trans people are bad, dems should not support them and be transphobic because the ever-so-omniscient normies somehow know everything….but at the same time. They still somehow convinced all the medical institutions to endorse trans people because everyone is too scared to bully the very weak and stupid out-group even though everyone actually hates you if you do support us: enemy is too strong and too weak.

Really cool to hear someone actually bring this up and say. “I don’t care! It’s ideologically motivated! I’m transphobic because I’m a genius and know everything!”

Pick one. Are we just a tiny minority of idiots too stupid to understand what a sex is, and thus should be ignored? Or are we a powerful pressure on scientific institutions with an evil goal of forcing people to transition because we somehow are gender essentialists who want to invert gender roles for the fun of it?

PICK. ONE.

If we’re wrong. How about you let us be wrong in peace? You tell us to get off people’s cases when they’re bigoted. So if being trans is somehow a political opinion (which it isn’t) then let me have my bad idea in peace while you just enjoy being smarter than me!

What? Should we arrest smokers? They’re wrong, but I see none of these smug genius types trying to use the law to throw smokers in jail!

I wish chuds a very “learn to accept not everyone can be as perfect as you, and stop taking my shortcomings so personally.”

If youre using /tttt/ and youre dysphoric a lot you should stop using /tttt/

If it hurts to touch the hot stove, stop touching the hot stove.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 7 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

If youre using /tttt/ ~~and youre dysphoric a lot~~ you should stop using /tttt/

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 8 points 9 hours ago

Well it almost goes without saying lol

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I forget how much I hate going out

Feeling dysphoric in my room is not as bad as going out and feeling dysphoric and envious

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 4 points 6 hours ago

Damn, if only that was me. A happy cis woman.

[–] inTheShadowOf@hexbear.net 7 points 10 hours ago

Submitting insurance claims always feels like wasting time. I know there's a chance it works, but the (near) inevitable frustration makes me not want to even try.

Of course, that's what they want.

[–] sodium_nitride@hexbear.net 12 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (2 children)

Yall have fallen for my trap catgirl-smug. Been upvoting my posts for a long time ...

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

You really don't have to give me that much attention for it to happen tbh

[–] sodium_nitride@hexbear.net 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

What does less attention than liking your posts consist of?

Glancing at your general vicinity (very doki doki, I know crush )?

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 5 points 6 hours ago

I might need a little bit more then that but probably not much

[–] RION@hexbear.net 8 points 12 hours ago (1 children)
[–] sodium_nitride@hexbear.net 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Are you asking for a hug with those outstretched hands of yoursdoggirl-shock ?

[–] RION@hexbear.net 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)
[–] RION@hexbear.net 9 points 14 hours ago

Actually coming around to this bra because it's helping me boymode more effectively!

The mtf sub is such a shitshow fuck those mods

Been half wanting to make an effort post explaining the whole situation but just look at tw*tter if you want to see the latest shitshow from the clowns.

Tldr with no posted proof though: one of the mods is a convicted pedophile. Got exposed as such. Head, power mod told her to make a new account and he wanted her back to mod. Mod team is now deleting any posts about this and 10s of millions of people on twitter are reading this fucking story. Head mod is also lying about the situation (including wildly downplaying what she actually did/has been doing).

god I really should just make the effortpost but its a lot fuck me.

[–] inTheShadowOf@hexbear.net 7 points 11 hours ago

It's been absolutely wid to watch it play out. The head mod really seems to think there's still a way to salvage the situation. They can lock r/MtF down as long as they want, but everyone's seen how big of a fuck up this is. The sub is definitely not without issues, but it's a helpful place for many. Hopefully a better mod team can get control of it.

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 7 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Im always a little suspicious of accusations against trans women because they will accuse us of that without evidence and it will be accepted by the public even if the accusation is later proven untrue. Regardless, in this case its because shes a fucking reddit mod not because of anything else that I believe it lol.

The mtf subreddit is definitely cursed, like almost as bad tttt.

[–] Arahnya@hexbear.net 7 points 15 hours ago

Oh wow 😔

sometimes writing effort posts can take a lot out of you, so make sure to check in with yourself!

Okay finally something good, Slay the Spire 2 has been the most fun I've had in a game in a long time. I love deckbuilders and this is perfect. Used to love playing dominion but haven't had anyone to play with in a long time. But its PvE, has coop or single player, its just great. Reconnected with a couple friends and have played several games already. Would rec.
