More delays? D:

Edit: My flight got delayed by 2 hours. I must have jinxed it... Just got home.

antidistransgenderitarianism

That was a joke, but I guess it wasn't clear enough!

Understand what your condition will entail
Read all of this:
https://tgchatroom.com/wiki/index.php/So_You_Want_To_Be_a_T-Girl_(Chapter_1)
and then read chapters 2&3

That's a terrible book, and you shouldn't believe anything in it. take everything in it with a nice teaspoon of salt each.

Relevant /r/asktransgender discussion. The book is very outdated and intends to scare you. I quote,

You are fucking around with serious mind and body altering drugs that leave permanent scars and cause irreversible effects, complications, damage, diseases, and death. Now here is where every T-girl I ever met swears up and down that they know it all.

?!?!? Today I learned that spironolactone literally causes scars, estrogen is toxin, and cyptopronene melts your liver. Get your facts from a more reputable source like /r/asktransgender on reddit, not the more outdated, previous-generation places like Susan's Place, or "so you want to be a t-girl".

he normal routine for the transition consists of three drugs; two forms of estrogen (usually Estradiol and Premarin) and one form of anti-androgen (a testosterone blocker, usually Spironolactone). These are effective drugs, they do in fact work, and they are in fact quite easy to get from the net, Mexico, or the streets. But they are quite dangerous... each of them

Estradiol: Mildly raises your chances of breast cancer. Who knew growing breasts makes you susceptible to breast cancer. Also, mildly increased chance of deep vein thrombosis.

Spironolactone: You go to the bathroom more often. so danger

Premarin: Not prescribed anymore. It's Pregnant Mare Urine. Ew.

"quite dangerous" 

Also, the insistent use of "T-girl" instead of the more generally accepted "transgender," and all the hyperbole about the drugs...


"$50000" is technically correct. But the month-by-month graph of transition fees looks more like this:



You can't really see it, but each month is $100, plus $300 for blood tests every 3 months for the first year, then for every 6 months the second and onwards. The $50000 is what you need if you opt for SRS/GRS. Thing is, it's optional. If you don't do that, two years of HRT costs $7000.


Bleh, this is a disjointed rant but I'm too lazy to make it more logical.

(tldr: screw that article)


Ps. Also, it's possible to start on HRT and then stop. One of the few things that article gets right is that hormone changes happen very very slowly. In fact, you barely have any noticeable effects until three to six months.

Edit: And no, it doesn't take 5 years. It takes 2 to 3, with the majority of changes happening between 6 and 18 months.

I've been on both receiving and shooting end of the bastion gun, and the defensive matrix doesn't really help because bastion is very good at shredding D.va :/ I don't know if boostering into bastion unseiges him, which if it does would make D.va ok against bastion.

Mei: 这个世界值得我们的奋战！！！！ :D <3 :D
D.va: 게임하면 이겨야지!   alt. NERF THIS!

It was inevitable....


.... A big part of the reason IRL ciphers get cracked is because they have access to a tooon of ciphertext. Also, people make mistakes when using the cipher which can be exploited.
