instead of braces, you can get surgery and fix your jaw that way, which will also move your jaw forward and (maybe, i guess?) eliminate the need for a chin enhancing implant

there's not like a problem if you do get braces, but you could kill two birds with one stone instead of spending the time and effort on braces and then getting chin enhancing FMS

if you like your chin and don't plan to get FMS, just get braces, though

honestly first good use of "slams" in a headline

Astonishingly, the ruling specifies that what it calls “women living in the male gender”—i.e., trans men, and cis women whose appearance is deemed masculine—“could also be excluded” alongside cis men, from women’s spaces. “Not being allowed into the mens by rule does not mean you have the right to go into the ladies,” clarified the leading anti-trans campaigner Maya Forstater; “That may seem unfair, but these are life choices people make. If you make extreme efforts to look like a man don’t be surprised if you are denied entrance to ladies.” Forstater’s comments underscore the ultimate goal of TERFs and other transphobes: to expunge trans people from public life.

that's crazy they really secured the right to kick ANYONE out of a "woman's space" and said "it's not my problem if you can't go anywhere". so much for not being transphobic, they won't even give us "separate but equal"

mississippi is fuuuuuuucked (up):

Mississippians as young as 17 years old (for boys) and 15 years old (for girls) may get married. They may have a child and choose a name for that child. But the courts denied the name change request of SBM, a trans man with the full support of his parents in his transition, because they found 18 years old is not an adequate age to ensure “maturity” and warrant such a “life-altering” decision.

Unlike most states, Mississippi’s “age of majority,” or the age where the state recognizes someone as an adult, is 21, not 18. This means Mississippians under 21 years old cannot enter legally binding contracts in many instances, without parental sign-off.

...

In addition, it threatens to thrust Mississippians of all backgrounds into the epicenter of a constitutional crisis. The ruling and its rollout could call the 26th Amendment into question, which lowered the voting age to 18 after the mass conscription of young people during the Vietnam War. It also tests the Full Faith and Credit Clause, which requires states to respect the records-keeping of other states (such as name changes and marriage licenses); Mississippians’ 14th Amendment right to due process; and an individual’s First Amendment rights.

they didn't just override the trans boy but also his parents LMAO this is so fucked up

there are many who consider themselves completely (straight / gay) and don't mind their partner's natal genetalia, too, and i think it's transphobic to consider them "more bisexual" and invalidate their identity

since bisexual is a valid identity, let's not push it on people who haven't opted into it

otherwise, those people are welcome to think what they may. just like i think that people who view it that way need to unpack their internalized transphobia, but that's "just my opinion", just like you posted yours

reminder that trans women are women and attraction to them (if you're a man) is straight

(i'm aware of the rest of your post but felt like this was a good thing to bring up)

crazy how much of this is being driven by cis women with bruised egos

obviously, not the majority. but like, damn lmfao, learn to take an L

disk golf? really?

wait is that like... "tomodachi an ideal life" is the fundamental pillar supporting the unaliving yourself ideation?? LOL

was this not the state where two trans representatives flipped the anti trans bill? or was that somewhere else i'm forgetting?

yeah idk, i'm not a huge fan of it, even as a pretty cis passing trans guy, but i suppose i'm not really the target of the meme either (i don't really meet the strict criteria of "straightest guy you've ever seen")

lmaoooo damn yeah i was gonna be like, no way is north carolina passing pro trans shit in 2025
