Yep. Multiple times I have had Google maps direct me to back employee only entrances instead of the regular entrances. Sometimes it seems like Google doesn't even recognize that the front entrance even exists.

Yeah, I forgot that there are different variants better suited for cis women. I'm pretty sure you're correct that she does need something a bit different.

I am a trans woman so I understand how it feels to not have the hormones you want in your body. It's literal hell. You are allowed to have your own feelings, and there's nothing wrong with that. Your wife's mental state is just in the gutter right now and that's why she's lashing out at you.

I'd recommend seeing a professional so she can get prescribed estradiol. That's really the only thing that's going to fix it.

I love the type of gameplay that the Sims (specifically building and character creation, other stuff is boring af) has but it sucks so much to play because it's so limited unless you spend thousands on all the dlc. I am a game dev (well, I call myself that but I've never released anything cuz I'm too busy with finishing up college rn) and I really want to make a life sim game one day. I've seen plenty of indie life sims fail unfortunately, but I'm still going to try anyways. I have a few ideas I haven't seen anyone else do. So many of these games fail that I'm not afraid to try something a bit crazy and hope it sticks.

As a young person who grew up on the internet, with no parental oversight, I can say it's because there is a lot of right wing bullshit online that media companies love to push on their users. When I was a tween I got suckered into it hard when one day youtube decided to put mgtow videos in my recommended feed. I never initially searched for them. I did eventually get out of it, and I'm not entirely sure how, but I remember as a 13yo seeing trump in 2016 bully that disabled reporter and it really put a sour taste in my mouth. And then over the next few years that led to me leaving catholicism, becoming a socialist, and realizing I'm transgender and very gay.

With me being transgender and pan, that adds another aspect to it, because I think I knew subconsciously that I was queer as a tween, but growing up in an environment where I was repeatedly told those things were wrong led to me feeling absolutely miserable about myself, and misery loves company. And this also makes me wonder how many nazis are queer and don't even realize it or refuse to recognize it.

I'm trans in the US. After insurance I pay about $300 to $400 every 3 months for blood tests and a follow up. My meds cost me an additional $90 for 3 months as well. They are my hormones and another medication unrelated to me being trans. I get my meds at a local independent pharmacy, so they are relatively cheap. I used to get them at a large chain pharmacy and they were about twice as much there.

I also used to work as a cashier at a pharmacy. I once had to ring someone up who was paying over $3,000 for some cancer medication. It also wasn't uncommon to see people paying around $500 for medications that they need to be alive.

Oh... I'm not very good at determining if people are, so I tend to treat everyone like they are asking in good faith. Maybe at least someone else will see my comment and find it useful I hope.

It's not specifically of dead trans people, they meant of all trans people. The term deadname typically refers to the birth name of a trans person that they no longer use.

Not necessarily, I did that as a kid in the late 2000s. My friend's parents had an old mac in their basement that we would play flash games and watch stupid youtube videos on.

Mine is the Pachycephalosaurus. I love it so much I use it as my profile picture. I got attached to it because cranidos is my favorite pokemon.

Yeah, I'm trans and I have an aunt with schizophrenia. After I came out she started behaving very strangely whenever I am around. For example, she doesn't call me by my name or my deadname, and instead makes up strange nonsense words that she calls me. Then she gets angry when someone tries to correct her. I only see her at holidays and I always dread going whenever she has been invited because she makes me very uncomfortable.
