How did you settle on a name? in c/mtf@lemmy.blahaj.zone

I asked my brother what his name would be if he were a girl and he didn't have a solid answer. He then returned the question and I realised I did and I was 100% sure about it which I did not actually see coming.

8 years is a long time to operate in a hostile work environment. Like was there no other bars in the area she could have quit and gone work for? And isn't Cali an at will state?

I mean it's not impossible she was horrifically abused (or even unlikely, capitalism gonna capitalism) but this sounds a lil weird to me

What are some of your euphoria stories? in c/mtf@lemmy.blahaj.zone

[–] TheGingerNut@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 months ago

I used to use the mens bathrooms an use the urinals standing while wearing a skirt early in my social transition. My threshold for stress is several orders of magnitude higher so getting right gendered then having to miscorrect them over the phone is no biggie. Well, compared to making the phone call to begin with because I'm an autistic little chicken lol

Phone Conversation:

Hi, can I speak to [deadname]?
you're speaking to him…
Oh sorry! So anyway…

One day I hope the answer to that question will be "Who?". But for now I still use my given name for shit so…Boyfailing still has to be one of my favourite gender experiences!

Bad precident to set. There's folks out there trying to get being even slightly gender non conforming declared a sexual act. That's not an opinion that should be indulged anywhere by anybody

She's so hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh in c/mtf@lemmy.blahaj.zone

[–] TheGingerNut@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 7 months ago

I see it. The giving a little girl balloons to send her skyward certainly gives that vibe. If I could turn back time and tell her…

[Rant] Why do people in the trans community never talk about voice surgery or acknowledge that it's necessary for some folks in c/mtf@lemmy.blahaj.zone

[–] TheGingerNut@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 8 months ago

I have a natural talent for manipulating my own voice. At my best the illusion is bulletproof. Like I once managed to get she/hered in full boymode with a face full of stuble.

I rarely keep it up in conversations longer than a minute. I get distracted and then realize I've slipped into something more comfortable. It's handy for going outside without being hatecrimed. But even as someone who can sound fem by carefully manipulating my voice... like, I wish I didn't have to. Vocal feminization surgery is risky but damn if I can't understand risking it anyway. You're right, "git gud" is not helpful advice
