Thank you so much for the writeup! I'll keep this in my pocket until the long, long wait for my vagina is finally over.

I wear a tucking gaff under tight pants every day. I'm above-average size and have had the sack skin falling out issue too. Generally with tucking you want your balls pushed up into those little pockets in your upper pubic area, where they were before they descended. It'll get easier over time as your balls shrink if you're on HRT. Mine just chill out there on their own a lot of the time now after a little over a year on HRT.
This is how I do it: First, put on the gaff loosely and position the front lower than you think it should be. This is so you can hike up the sides and the back to keep it tight later. It also helps keep the sack skin contained since the gaff will be positioned to be wider further down. After that, grab the head of your penis from behind, arm behind your back and reaching between your legs, reaching into the gaff, and pull your penis back between your legs, so that the head is almost to your asshole. Don't pull your penis too too far back or it'll be painful later. Pull up the gaff, tight so the penis stays in place, with sides and back going pretty high up to keep it tight. The gaff needs to be tight! The gaff should keep your balls up in those pockets and your penis tucked under without it slipping forward.
I use BBLAIR tucking gaffs in XS size with my 36 inch hips and 29 inch waist. (For me at least, I buy bottoms based more on hip measurement rather than waist, since my hips are a lot narrower than most cis women's, or at least typical women's pants.)
Sounds like my ex. Terrified to show vulnerability, since it was always horribly punished by the abuser, so they endlessly deflect blame onto others. And it's not just a tactic, but an all-encompassing delusion that cannot be reasoned with and they don't even see. And unfortunately, healing begins with being vulnerable, accepting responsibility, and trusting in others that want to help you.
(Not responsibility for why they are that way, but responsibility for how their actions hurt others and taking responsibility for healing, since no one else can do it for them.)
Oh :(
I unfortunately had an abused partner and they had narcissistic behaviors that were either ways to survive the abuse, or learned directly from their abuser, mirroring and reproducing the very behavior that damaged them so badly.
My other guess would be she's ~~a narcissist~~ exhibiting narcissistic behavior and thinks everyone else will think more highly of her if she says she values those things.
All of those ideals embody the most selfish, toxic, and self-defeating ideas that we all carry to some degree as a result of this capitalist, consumerist culture we exist within. To see someone claim to believe every single one so unconditionally is wild to me.
I see nothing in there about friendship, love, or community, or finding satisfaction in struggle, or good health, or humility, or responsibility, or charity.
Sounds like a child or someone extremely immature that has uncritically absorbed idealistic, unrealistic, and counter-productive mass cultural ideals (meaning, created by the ultra-rich owners of media/advertising corporations to manipulate the masses for their own ends) without thinking about the necessary sacrifices to achieve those goals, or the negative consequences that would occur as a result of achieving those goals, or whether any of those goals would actually lead to fulfillment and happiness.
More than 1.4% of the US population (5 million people) protested on the same day nationwide a few days ago. It's not nothing. It gives me some hope. I'm a non-passing trans woman and am well aware of the coming danger.
Oh ok! Thanks for the clarification. It's the first I've heard of this. It's great to see good change
US... does... good?... thing?? Which universe is this?
Edit: On a closer reading, it looks like it might actually mean "if you use AI/other non-animal methods we'll let you skip some safety testing" ("""streamlined review"""). Less animal murder so still good ofc, but :/
I didn't know this until I was watching Dominion after deciding to go vegan. I didn't really think about it much, but I figured they were bred to always produce milk or something, like how sheep have been bred to keep growing wool.
I'm getting Ass Pennies energy
I was going to be optimistic and say that maybe it's an ousting of toxic leadership, but I looked up Unknown Worlds and they were bought 4 years ago by a publicly traded company ๐ซค
