I think a big part of it is just that many want control, they want to limit what we’re capable of doing. They especially don’t want us doing things that go against them and their will as companies. Which is why they try to block us from doing those things they dislike so much, like generating porn, or discussing violent content.

I noticed that certain prompts people used for the purpose of AI poisoning are now marked as against the terms of service on ChatGPT so the whole “control” thing doesn’t seem so crazy.

Late reply, I’m looking and I don’t see it. It seems their admins are doing a lot to squash a lot of that bullshit. Compare that to lemm.ee where they allow !conservative@lemm.ee to run unimpeded and only ban users and posts after I call them out here. Seems my home server is much worse than that one…

As a transfem tomboy I fully support this. I’ve already had my fair share of people arguing that I’m not really a trans girl because I like masculine things, because I still have a mustache, because I don’t try to have a super fem voice. People assuming someone is or isn’t a particular gender based on how they present is shitty and will always be shitty. Fuck people who do that. I’m glad these people aren’t welcome in our communities.

I didn’t even know much I wanted before, or how happy it made me to be called by she/her pronouns for the first time. I’m so glad I found out though, and I’m excited for the future.

I can open it for ya, I’m transfem but I’m quite strong.

Question, I’m very buff right now and I don’t plan to stop working out so I can keep as much muscle as possible, does anyone know how that’ll effect the growth when I do get on E?

Good to know. I guess I won’t be doing anymore weed when I finally get on E 😢

I’m still seeing a therapist, and if she doesn’t prescribe it to me by the end of February or beginning of March, I’m thinking I will start DIY or something similar. I’d rather go through official route if I can.

Well at first I never really thought I was, I like all manners of masculine things like shooter games, sports, fixing cars, getting dirty. Things that are largely considered manly. However I did like to hang out with girls more often, like I felt more comfortable around them. I never really questioned that much it felt normal. But I met someone a few months back who was very much like me, we shared a lot of interests and even had a similar style and when I learned she’s transfem it made me seriously start questioning. So I decided to have a little experiment and I asked her to call me by she/her pronouns to see how it felt, and I loved it. It felt so right, so true. A bit later I started to realize that I felt incomplete, my flat and empty chest made me feel discomfort and sadness.

That’s how I knew without a doubt that I was transfem, and every piece of trans literature I read including Gender Dysphoria Bible just cemented that in further.

Speaking from experience as a trans woman myself, the best advice I can give is follow your heart and do what makes you happy. I’d recommend finding some local trans communities where you live, and also getting a gender affirming therapist to talk to, these things have been helpful to me.

If you think you made a mistake I say you should probably reach out to Ada through their email form and request an appeal, instead of making a thread here to complain about all of blahaj.zone. Listen I’m someone who used to be a lot like you and not understanding people being offended by wrong pronouns, I have learned though in my journey that for people who are Trans, assholes and bigots take every opportunity to push them down or make them feel invalid, on top of everything else. Being trans is not easy, and I don’t think people who aren’t can ever truly understand how difficult it really is.

So when someone is excusing using wrong pronouns or excusing transphobia, it can be extremely hurtful to people who are traumatized and have gone through misgendering and invalidation, or are continuing to go through it right now.

Try to understand that for many trans women out there, being called a dude hurts, not just because of being called a dude but all the other shit on top of that that comes with being trans.

It is mildly disappointing that they’re like this, I honestly feel more bad for them and how it’ll affect them. Other than that though I don’t take it personally, I guess since I used to be like them in my beliefs so I know why they’re like that and it doesn’t hurt me. I hope at the very least for their sake they can learn to overcome their bigotry in the future, though I know it’ll likely never happen.

By the way, I did leave shortly after the incident. I just got a Tupperware container, packed it full of food for me to eat when I got home, and I got in my car and left.

Yeah I guess, I don’t really feel that bad though, just kind of sorry for them that they can’t be better people. Like I said it doesn’t surprise me. They think it’s a phase right now. I wonder what they’ll say when I have boobs. Actually I’m kinda excited to see. I got some good comebacks for whatever they might say 😈

I’m not a fan of this meme, it seems too much to imply that a person who doesn’t take HRT or hasn’t taken HRT is still cis because of it, transmedicalism is not cool.

That’s good to know. I never thought of doing DIY. I think I’ll try the official way first. I have a therapist I’m talking to right now and I might even be able to get it prescribed through my insurance. But I’ll hold on to this just in case I need it.

Understandable, I meant it as a way to stand up for trans people who are non-op or pre-op (can’t afford surgery or can’t get it at all) and being discriminated against based on their genitals.

Also my comment was directed towards a transphobic shithead who was spouting transphobia apologia saying that we shouldn’t fight back against transphobes because “they’re people too”.

Yeah I tried wearing a beanie recently and it was not pleasant. Can’t wear them like I normally like to rn.

Also thanks for the suggestion, I think those will look very cool.

I hope so

I’m working on growing my hair out as well, it’s frustrating how slowly it grows but hopefully it’ll be long soon. Then I plan to dye it too, just like in my profile picture.

Oh, I’ll definitely keep that in mind, gotta make sure to be extra careful when drying off after showering.
